This is Not an Easy Puzzle Game
I really liked this game and think I'll be playing it again.
This is NOT an easy puzzle game and thankfully there are walkthroughs on the web to help when stuck (which for me was a lot)
The graphics are beautiful. The interface may make some a little nauseous as moving the mouse scrolls the camera around to investigate the environment. The mouse pointer changes when a something of interest is discovered (like a letter or to read or object to retrieve) Music is slightly annoying but can be turned down. Our hero is a "puzzle expert" and is of no real help throughout the game but congratulates himself when he/you complete a puzzle (I found this amusing)
The puzzles are hard!! Most of them are not intuitive which is why the walkthroughs are a blessing (sadly they are not in the BFG walkthrough section but a quick Google search will render a few good links)
There are two Safecracker games out, this one from BFG is the 2006 edition.
In all a nice game for puzzle lovers who enjoy a good challenge.

There should be more games like this!
Here is a great strategy game. You are at this man's huge estate and everything is locked. You have to find keys, codes, solve puzzles, and explore his house. It's pretty challenging and still has great graphics, even in comparison to what's come out recently! I love the Adventure Company. I will admit, the first time I played this, I used a strategy guide, and that totally helps make sense of a few things, but once you play it, you will play it again and again. A fun game for those who like to solve puzzles!

Difficult and fun
I loved this game. Very challenging, definitely have to think.
I hate doing it but I did have to go to hint page, and had to go to the actual solution three times.
Words of advice-Most puzzles,if you pay attention tohow they react to different actions, it will come to you.
Try not to go to the solutions, because it really does take something away from the game.
I figure I solved 75% myself, 15%with hints, and 10%with solutions.
Good quality game, personally loved it.

Challenging Puzzle Game
I have a high IQ and this is my favorite game so far. I liked the graphics and found it challenging to solve so many different kinds of puzzles. One puzzle I worked on for hours before solving it, not realizing that there was a hint later in the game.

More, please!
Highly recommended if you love challenging puzzles!
Gameplay is extremely straightforward, consisting solely of progressing through a large estate house finding a few clues, solving puzzles and cracking safes.
As simple as the game is in execution it makes up for in the many varied puzzles placed in your way. Some are quite simple and require just a minute or two of thought, while others are mindbendingly complex that may stump you for hours. The amazing thing is that they are never cheap, there is always a logical solution - if you can figure it out!
The Visual/Sound Quality is pretty good, the house itself is a bit barren but nicely rendered, and the narrator has a pleasing voice that never gets on your nerves. The music is unobtrusive and fitting. Sound effects are great...you'll come to love the mellow 'Ding' sound that arrives when you hit upon the solution to a particular puzzle.
The story is as bare-bones as it gets, but that's not what this game is about, anyway.
It's about the puzzles.
And they do not disappoint!

Best Game of All Time
This has got to be my favorite game! It is probably the most difficult game I have ever played - well, tried to play. You see, I bought this game 2 years ago and still haven't finished it! The puzzles are that good. Graphics are beautiful, clean and concise, and the storyline is logical. You need to be aware that a hint to your puzzle may be in the same room, or in a different area of the house.
I don't normally look at walkthroughs to help with a game, I just tough it out. But I might have to break that rule (for a teeny hint!) to help with the puzzle I'm stuck on.
Puzzles are really varied..no two are alike.
Great game.

Awesome large file logic game!
If you like stimulating puzzles of a wide variety, then you have to check this game out. My favorite part of any of the bigfish games are the puzzles. But I usually have to wonder around and kill time before finding another one. Not in this game. With this game, you solve one after another. Love it!

The best game ever
I like games that are more of an adventure and puzzles then hidden object games. This is by far the best game for puzzles. They were challenging and engaging. I would love to find more like this one.

Exceptional game
This is one of the best large file type adventure games available from BFG. It really should have a demo version since a lot of people might overlook it because they can't try it before buying. Despite this, I was blown away by this game. I usually don't like relaxed, puzzle heavy games such as this, but this one really held my attention. The graphics while not exactly photo realistic, are definitely a cut above, and the game engine works extremely well. There is some exploration, item gathering, and story advancement aspects to the game, but the majority of the gameplay occurs within puzzle solving. The soundtrack is quite good as it suits the mood of the game perfectly. The only criticism I'd give to that is the fact that the music repeats a bit too frequently for my liking. The game is quite lengthy so it is well worth a purchase. People who love puzzle solving and don't mind a challenge (the game is reasonable difficult once you've advanced through the first through puzzles) that might keep their attention for some time will love this game. Stay away if you don't like relaxed, slow paced, intellect challenging puzzles. Highly recommended.
