Terrific Treasure Hunt
Lots of fun in this treasure hunt, but be warned - the hidden object scenes are not ordinary click-&-find . . . Groups of related items must be found & put in place in each scene before progressing through the adventure . . . Moving the cursor over the scene reveals the hot-spots where the items will be placed once found . . . You get a real-workout with this game, but it's definitely worth it - & it's not timed (a plus for me) . . .
The puzzles are moderately difficult, at most . . .
Overall, & great game to start off the series . . .

Hone you skills on this series
This is a great game for beginners. Lots od clues and helps. Great story line for young beginners, but will keep the interest of others as well. Just enough challenge for intermediates too. Experts could enjoy this, but It would be less of a challenge. All in all, a fun game and a very good series.

Treasure Seekers: A fun series.
This was a fun series. After playing all of them I recommend them as an entertaining way to pass time. The plots are a stretch but still a pleasant one. Most of the objects are easy enough to find with a few very well hidden ones.

Nice hidden game
This game was my first ring hidden object game I played when it came out, I was trilled by the new for me way to find objects, so I love it, plus it was also my first treasure seeker game and I love all of them.

A classic
This was my very first HOG, and to me it set a standard that many other games can't achieve.
Gameplay-wise, note that the game doesn't use list of objects. You get a picture of the object, but not necessarily from the angle shown in the scene. You progress in the game by finding hot spots, and then "unlocking" those spots by finding the items shown.

First of the Treasure Seekers
Meet Nell and Tom, treasure hunters extraordinaire, on the hunt for pirate Grandma's hidden treasure.
The graphics in this game are lovely, however, no cutscenes, no voice overs and basically no music. Another thing it isn't widescreen so items can be small and hard to see.
This is a straight circle HO which means you find specific picture items to complete the circle and unlock other circles or scenes. Finding the circles can be a bit trying. The HOs can be challenging as many of the items are somewhat small or partially hidden. Items can, also, be hidden in other items so you need to constantly keep moving your cursor. There are puzzle/minigames which are not overly difficult but are fun.
I first played this game as a beginner, and it does teach you patience if you don't want to use the hint button. All items can be found and all the puzzles are doable. I fell this is a good game for beginners, but other levels can enjoy as well.
Although I don't really care for straight HOGs, I gave this an overall 4 star rating because I do still enjoy playing it occasionally.

Slow going
I did not care for this game. Rather than a list of objects, you must match the objects to a picture. I found the objects very difficult to find and often resorted to haphazard clicking. This led to impatience with the game as a whole. It is also very quiet. At times there is music, but then it stops and you are left with total silence. There are no voices either, just word bubbles. I did like the mini puzzles--they were such a welcome break from the HO scenes--however they were pretty simple. I am not sure what age group this is aimed at. It is a sweet story, nothing gory or gross, but the objects are very hard to find, often half hidden, and rotated. You would have to love this style of HO game to like this one, in my opinion.

EASY BUT FUN
Prequel to the Treasure Seekers series. Siblings Nelly and Tom are adventuresome youngsters seeking the hidden treasure of their grandmother, a pirate captain. Enthusiastic but sensible Nelly has her hands full keeping her eager but optimistic daredevil brother under control while he pursues his fantasies. Right mix of HOS and puzzles. HOS are fill-in circles and puzzles are tied to the game and are relatively easy, becoming progressively more difficult.
Don't know what people mean when they say there is no direction. Gameplay is straightforward; the characters' dialogues lead you directly to the next action. All you have to do is find the basic items (designated with pointing cursor) which turn into the circles needing to be filled.
Good story, brilliant and crisp graphics, realistic sound effects and animation, and interesting dialogue interspersed throughout. About 4 1/2 hours (probably more with touchscreen, at least until you get used to the moves). [I played about on touchscreen, which I?m still learning.]

Another dud!
Wish I had tried the trial version before I bought this one. I thought after playing Treasure Seekers - The Time Has Come - that it might be a reasonably good game to buy - but no. Perhaps good for 6 year olds. Lame dialogue - let's tidy up my room - let's find a flashlight! Deleted games after 15 minutes of play.

Boring and frustrating game
I found the objects difficult to recognise and therefore difficult to locate. Like another reviewer, I resorted to haphazard clicking - didn't know what I was trying to find. Some objects blended into the background to the point that they were next to invisible! I did not find this game at all challenging - it was boring and frustrating!
