A fun adventure!
While time travel has always been a fascinating subject, the hidden object mystery game Mushroom Age takes it to a new level of fun and silliness. We are playing as Vera, a regular lady with a fiance', Tom, that works in time travel theory. When she goes to her man's workplace, she finds his boss there instead. Dr. Einbock is a dead ringer for Einstein, and just as goofy. Before we know it, Vera is using a cellphone-looking thing to travel through time and hunt her fiance' down through all kinds of places, from the far future, back to the Jurassic period, into the Stone Age and who knows where else?
So how does Vera work with those whom might be hostile to her to find Tommy Boy? With the help of a robot from the 31st century, she receives a translator, and she can now speak with anyone, from Nostradamus to a female T-rex with a toothache. She helps out those she finds along the way, and they give her information to find her man. This is most definitely not your normal time-travel tale, though it does remind me somewhat of Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure</a>. I doubt a movie based on Mushroom Age would be nearly as funny as a story about two headbangers on a mission to save their history report, but this does have its moments. Maybe once the Yuletide season is over, I'll go on back and find out what happens next.

Very cheesy with poor graphics
This game had such poor graphics that it was almost impossible to find the objects (like pieces of wood) that were hidden in the scene. The dialogue was extremely campy and a little creepy (not in a good way).
I got stuck on one of the puzzles because the instructions did not make sense to me.

would be a funny HOG
This game was amazing and funny at the begining, the line of the story, the travel all over the places and History and I really laughed with the characteres, but when you arrive in level 18/2 it is impossible to go on. I got stuck on this puzzle and there is no way to finish it. The worse of all is that I bought the game and didnt like that I had stop playng before the end.
I don't recommend this game.

Cute, fun and silly game
this game is great for kids, probably best for kids 8 and up. that being said, i really enjoyed it.
the HOS are well done and challenging, with a mix between "find lots of one thing" and the regular hidden object style. no junk piles at all.
the games were fun, inventive and some that i wish i could play again (cosmic pinball anyone?) many of them i have never seen before, which really impressed me.
the level of challenge varies, which is nice. some are easy, while others are quite a challenge, which i love.
the music is likeable (with the exception of the organ music in the medieval age. yikes.)
the characters are well voiced by real actors, who clearly had a blast making the game.
it is very much geared to kids, who will get a laugh from several of the characters.
the game is really long - which i love! a good value for the price.
the overall feel of the game is light, fun and engaging. the graphics are really pretty, clear and bright.
on the cons side, there is no way to skip any puzzle, and the hint button takes a while to recharge. while i like the challenge in that, some may not.
you also must make it to the end of a chapter to save, which isn't all that hard, as the chapters are short. but if you quit in the middle, you will have to start at the beginning of the chapter again.
as well, if you have no patience for something aimed more at kids, give this game a miss. it is def a kids game, with the feel of a Saturday morning cartoon - albeit a really well made one.
overall, i am really pleased that i bought this game. i was feeling blue, and it picked me up. and i just love Dino.

Hidden Object Adventure Game
This is more a long the lines of a Hidden Object Adventure game.
Pros: New interesting story Line.
Medium Puzzles (Those of how like Puzzles in their Hidden Object)
Sounds are good and Voice Very Nice Clean and Crisp you can Understand what they are saying.
Any type of Con: Not really Good straight up Hidden Object. But can be a good start for going into the Adventure Hidden Object games.

Fun Hidden Object Game!
loved this game! It was so fun. I think you should make a part 2! It would definetly be very popular. Maybe the Jurassic Age? :) Mushroom Age rocks! Great Job on this game! The only thing that i did not like is that it was kind of easy to solve :)

Such a ridiculous fun game
I had a lot of fun with this game. I especially liked giving Socrates a massage. I wish they would do a sequel. Oh, and the dinosaur voice alone makes this worth buying.

Cheesy is the word
This game was super silly. The graphics are awful. The storyline is ok, but as you go along in the game the thing gets just plain stupid. I like more serious games. The characters move and talk like if they are toy dolls. It is hard to spot hidden items in the scenes. I would not even keep this game if it were free.

no no no
I have never reviewed a game, but felt I needed to warn people about this one. If you stop your game, you have to start over from begining of chapter you left. very dull story. some items go below where my curser can reach them, have never had that problem before. I hate this game would never recommend it. It dose not have more than one or two pictures to look at , at one time, I am only on second chapter to be fair to game. I took it off computer. do not not recommed it
