Excellent Game
I am really loving this game! It skillfully combines elements of HOGs and TMGs into a delightful adventure that is perfect for playing for either a few minutes or a couple of hours. The characters are fun and have begun to feel like friends. For me, being able to find the hidden objects quite easily is a definite plus. The fact that is a free games is an added bonus.

Not your typical HOG!
Unlike most HOGs on BFG, this one is has a few key differences.
First off, it is free to play, but uses energy to limit how long at a time you can play free. Eventually you'll run out of energy, and you'll have to either wait for energy to recharge, use a food item, buy and use a food item with your diamonds, or buy diamonds with real cash, buy a food item with diamonds, and use it to regain energy.
The only way you pay to play is by pressing the "bank" button and buying gold/diamonds. otherwise it really is a free game! That said, if you want to play it for free, you'll have to take it in modest doses. Use up energy, leave it and come back later when the energy has had time to recharge.
The game itself is different from most HOGs in that you end up replaying the scenes a lot more than usual. Objects you seek don't change much, and there are places each item tend to end up, though they get shuffled a bit.
For me it felt a bit easier than most HOGs are, and I've only failed to make the 5 minute timer once so far, on a night scene where I just couldn't find where the last item was located.
You start out looking for 5 items each scene, but after you've repeated the scene enough times, it will grow to 7, 9, 11 and I suspect 13 may be the cap of items to find in 5 minutes, but I haven't gotten there yet!
I've found I really enjoy a hidden object game where I can usually find all the items without a hint. I feel like I'm growing by collecting all the items and using them to complete quests or collections, and leveling up over time to slowly open new areas is fun too.
For free, you can't go wrong trying this game out!

Don't bother
The only positive about this game is that it is there when you want to waste time but only about 10-20 minutes a day unless you spend a lot of extra (real) money to extend your play. You either find 600 of the same item or none at all. There is no way to select specific items to find so the list grows exponentially with each level. And there is no benefit for finding all of the objects quickly. Save your time and HD space and download a different game.

Be careful if buying any extra energy.
Great game but doesn't come with any instructions that I could find so you have to fumble your way around at first. Your energy does replenish eventually so you don't have to buy extra energy (this is where I made the mistake) - quite addictive and easy to purchase energy - spent a fortune without realising. Also the quests become almost impossible with you having to get several sets of collections but the sites you visit only give out about one required/ essential item every 50 visits or so. It has become very expensive to progress so have had to stop playing. Started off with simple quests and gets you hooked there. Great game though just don't buy any extra money or energy

worth every penny
Its hard to resist "free" but even at that price this game is not worth it. It is hard to follow, not sure what the objective is, confusing.

I just plain hated this game.
Are you kidding me? Ridiculous.

This game is different.
Fun game, various strategies. It would be a whole lot more fun if the game gave you what you need to fulfill the quests a bit more often. I find myself more frustrated from the playing of it! I find I have to let it sit to recharge the energy, so I can play more.

Mistitled as 'free'
A regular HO is around 7$ and a collectors edition is 14$.
This game has the potential to be far more expensive. It is a decent game with decent graphics- no gruesome scenes or storylines and no random click penalty-but the game is set to separate you from your money.
There is a progress bar that indicates level 50 is the maximum but in the achievement status queue it indicates that 50 is just the beginning.
Progress is arrested when you've used your free allotment of energy and can only be continued if you wait for it to reload or purchase extra energy. Gambling at its best. I would actually spend the full collectors edition price if it meant I could finish it soon. Once I've bested it, I will gleefully delete it from my hard drive.

addictive game
really good game if you watch yourself. can cost a lot of money before you know it. your energy doesn't last long and you find yourself buying more, before you know it you've got $20 tied up in a six dollar game
