Fun Hidden Object Game plus minipuzzles
I am a retired Cartographer and will no longer purchase any game without a map. Being a little forgetful I need the help. The jump-map for this game is fast and excellent!! Story line is good, HO's good but some are tricky, Minipuzzles are solvable and fun. I have played non-stop since I bought it and am totally delighted.

What a great game
I was unsure whether to try this game or not, but so glad I did. The storyline immediately captured my attention and the glimpse that we had of the game board in the intro reminded me of Jumanjii. The hos scenes were a little bit difficult because some of the items were hard to find because of the the color matching what it was up against. The music was decent and the voice over was well done. It was a little jumpy and didn't flow as smoothly as most of the other games I've played but it was enjoyable and will be purchasing shortly.

Well worth the money
You certainly couldn't accuse the developers of short-changing you. I thought I was never going to reach the end...not that I wanted to. This was thoroughly enjoyable game with lots of little quirks and interests. The map was really helpful for the ease of getting around especially towards the end when you need to backtrack.
The only thing I found to be a minor irritation was that it sometimes took many attempts to get pieces to go where they needed to. Also kept getting 'You can't use that here' messages when collecting parts of an item but these are minor niggles that I will live with for a great game.

Spreads some halloween fun in the cold gloomy winter nights.
Who wrote why Halloween inFebruary. Why not? February is a pretty depressing & cold month, why not spice it up with some spooky Halloween fun.
Judging by the hour trial this looks like a very intesting game.
Nice scenery and characters and an interesting story. I think I'll be picking this one up during the bogo sale before it ends today. Can't beat 1/2 price for a fun game to forget the winter blahs.

Good, challenging game!
This game has everything I like:
- an interesting story,
- good graphics,
- interactive HOS and mini-games that are challenging,
- an interactive map, showing you active locations, so no need to walk, and
- a good length, so well worth the money!

Fresh, Unique, Fun and Worth Buying
This is the type of game where developers have thought of new approaches to making it fun. This one is fresh and playful. I love the innovations - other developers could take a few lessons from these developers in how to think creatively so that players can be surprised and amused. Most games are copies of other ones (same storyline, same scenes, same games, same characters, same HOS - boring. It is as if one game uses an element like a stalled car so 300 other games add a stalled car to their video). Also, there are more games - hurray - instead of the usual HOS! Try it. You'll love it!

Liked this game, found it entertaining
I found the game fun, entertaining, a bit easy but after a busy week, that was fine with me. The visuals were ok, sound was turned off because I did find the voices annoying. Had both hidden objects and puzzles. I will be purchasing and definitely recommend.

Nice rainy day game!
Just got to this game today, busy weekend. After reading some of the reviews, I almost didn't even try the demo. However, I am one of those people who, if someone says it's good or not good, I try it and see for myself. I was pleasantly surprised to see that I really enjoyed the game.
Graphics are nothing special and a bit fuzzy, but the game play was good, music not bad, but I always turn it down low. No difficult games and HOGs were not bad either (some items a little hard to see, but on the whole okay#. I do agree that I don't care for loud or odd noises when you find an item either, but that's one of the reasons I turn down the sound.
This game is not really challenging, but it is a little different with some different scenes #not the ususal ghosts and such) and it was fun for me. A nice game for a lazy day.
As always, try it for yourself and see what you think. We all have different tastes in games and you may not care for it at all. Thanks for the reviews.

VERY GOOD GAME TO BUY
I REALLY LOVED THIS GAME. THERE WERE THESE SPIRITS, AS WHAT I WOULD CALL THEM YOU HAD TO SAVE. THE GAME WAS REALLY LONG TO PLAY TOO. IT IS WORTH THE MONEY ON THIS ONE. IT TOOK YOU TO A LOT OF SCENES. THIS GAME IS A MUST TO BUY & EASY TO PLAY. IF YOU EVEN GET STUCK THE HINT BUTTON WILL HELP YOU OF WHERE TO GO NEXT. SO GO AHEAD & BUY THIS GAME YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED AT ALL.
