good trial but dont go further
So glad this was a cheap purchase, the game just didn't develope from the try out, pure HOS and I found the majority of items far too small for my more 'mature' eyes lol. The ghost chase rapidly became annoying and repetitive with no challange, Colourful but not much else, sorry , this was not for me and in fact I didn't bother finshing, the 1st game in over 40 purchases :(

Great Game!
I loved this game! It was hard enough to be engaging and had a cute storyline. I also liked the ghosts popping out of nowhere to scare you.

A Fun Game For An Hour
A different kind of hidden object game.
Grahpics are cartoon-like but reasonably good.
All the text has voice over.
Storyline is basically Beetlejuice meets Ghostbusters with music to match. Turn the sound down as the music can be annoying after a while.
There are three tasks for each room - find the objects on the list (some are very small), capture the ghost/or ghosts and find the riddle pieces.
Once you have completed these tasks you then have the mini-game which consists of very quick headshots(mouse clicks) of the character - you are then awarded bronze, silver or gold trophy.
You then move on to the next room.
Fun for an hour but I wouldn't play this game any longer ( becomes boring).

silly hidden object game
This game was actually pretty fun. Silly goofy and something a bit different. Some of the scenes were a bit dark and made for finding objects a bit difficult. The mini games were fun and if you did not get them right away you could replay or skip completely

Love, Love, Love this game!
This is such a cute game. I love it! Some of the items are tiny, but you can find them, don't worry. The story is really sweet in the long run. Even the "bad characters" aren't bad, just misunderstood! lol I recommend this game highly. I will be playing it again and again!!

Get's my 2012 Unique award so far!
Had to figure out what was really going on here, because there is a lot.But when you have control, what fun it is. Animation, graphics, background voices and music are #1 in themselves. Then you get to the actual HOG scenes and there is a lot to find This game makes me extra glad I have a large computer screen so it can be all taken in. Look forward to it's sister game next.

This is not your grandma's hidden object game!
This is a great game. I love the mini games. This is the first Hidden Object game with such different & unique Mini games. The area of play are done wth such skill. The characters talk which I am a BIG fan of. The story was ok. It was a comic book haunting. Another thing that really got me was what happen when you hit the wrong item. You will have to play to see for your self. If you play the hour demo you will be hooked. I hope you at least try the hour demo you won't be sorry.

Very nice game
I missed this one on the original release, but I'm glad I caught the daily deal!
The graphics are very good, cartoon-style. A couple of the cutscenes are older 3D animation, which never looks great in my opinion. Others had a static comic-book style, where you could wait for the voice over, or just click to light up the next panel. I always skip cutscenes and voice overs, so I can't review the voice acting.
There are a ton of hidden object scenes, with a lot of objects in each one. They were tricky too; not unfair, hide a matchstick under a broom tricky, but finally find it and say "how did I miss that??" tricky. Each chapter has one huge main scene you can scroll sideways through, with 3 doorways into linked scenes that don't scroll. There is not a lot of adventure-type running back and forth, which I liked, and no annoying tasks that can only be done with a ridiculously specific item. You do collect objects, but they are combined into a machine behind the scenes and used at the end of the chapter. You also have to do a hot-and-cold seek game in each scene to catch ghosts, and each chapter has a rebus riddle that tells you to do a small task. The only real challenge of the riddles is to find the area where the task is held; sometimes the riddle gives a clue, other times you have to just hunt until the cursor changes.
There are eight mini-games, one at the end of each chapter. They are interesting, and a few I really liked (card game!). You're using the contraptions to help the ghosts with their unfinished business, whatever it happens to be. Most were arcade-style and involved some speedy mouse-work, which is a little harder with a trackball, but I was able to do just fine. One mini-game had a loading lag time that made it difficult to play; I just skipped that one.
There is a lot of story, including a mini-story for every ghost, but I liked that nearly all of that was completely optional - it was stored in a separate log area and you had to choose to open it. So when a little way in I figured out the "twist ending", I could skip the rest of the details and diary entries and just play. Maybe next time I will read all the macabre little death stories; maybe not.
Best of all, as mentioned above, there are 8 full chapters in the game, and it was an excellent length. I kept getting interrupted, so my very vague estimate is about 4 hours; and I'm a fast player. A very nice game and an excellent value!

A very fun game!
This game is bright, colorful, and a lot of fun. The HOS, while cartoon-like, are sophisticated and well drawn. The story line is fun and interesting and the Chapters are complex and deep and will prove challenging to the more experienced player while still playable for the "newbies."

Simple fun rolled into a package of Quirky Humor
I just finished the first chapter of Mishap and am loving the game although I can see where it wouldn't be to another person's taste. I love the quirky graphics and even pulled out my magnifying glass so I could enjoy the detail. I don't do that for every game, though I wish I could. So many sly jokes hidden in the graphics.
I enjoyed the ghost stories in the logs and the HOS breaks while hunting for them, and even though the REBUS riddle was very easy, had fun with it.
Maybe this is a SPOILER,
but the game had a point and shoot at the end of the chapter that was great fun, though I wished the ghosts didn't go by as fast because I wanted to enjoy the art work on the different poses.
Well worth the buy even at 6.99 if someone likes quirky, bent humor
