Kind Of A Waste
This was really a waste of a game credit. The game is short and repetitive.

Glad i didn't buy it!
This is the most exasperating game I have ever atempted! You ask for a hint and they show you an object--I knew what it was! BUT it didn't tell you what to do with it! I do not have all day to fuss with this caliber of game!
Also the graphics were very hard to decipher I don't mind cartoonish graphics but I need to beable to see what I am looking for! Even my trusty magnifying glass didn't help!

An Old Fashioned Hidden Game and Puzzles
It's not a bad game for introducing someone to the original concept of hidden object and puzzle game with achievements. There is very little storyline, lots and lots of hidden object scenes (every scene), mini puzzles, etc. Some of the objects are very small and require a lot of looking for. The mini puzzles consist of matching scenes, word searches, deciphering words, etc. The game is one that you can play for a while, but then need a break before going back to it as it can become boring. It's not a bad little game and I recommend it for beginners getting their feet wet.

Hidden Object Game that you can relax doing.
The cons of this game is the objects can be small, not of reality size. But I still found it relaxing and entertaining. The graphics were good and the rooms creative; old fashioned and pretty. (I'd live there. lol) It received bad revues and some were okay with it. So play the trial and decide for yourself before you buy. I bought it after the trial. I would recommend this game.

Not an Adventure
I did not enjoy this game, didn't finish the trial.
The dialog font was bad.
There were no hints for the rearrange the text puzzle.
Several flashlight/in the dark HO scenes in a row.
But most annoying was the girl herself. Preteen attitude, and people talk to her like she's a little girl, when she should be an adult.
For me part of the fun is the storyline which wasn't very well developed.

Atlantis?
I didn't get very far, the graphics were cartoonish and the HO scenes were nearly impossible. I needed multiple hints and even with the hint, i had to resort to the forum to figure out what to do with the flashlight! I'm a fan of HO scenes but these were too much, pack a bag, find a granddads key, find anna's compass. they were very hard and overwhelmed the game. i quit before i even left the room stages so i can't speak for atlantis or the rest of the game.

Pity there doesn't seem to be a walkthrough available
I bought this as the day's special offer - it wouldn't have been worth a full game credit. I played it to the end but I don't think it will be one I keep returning to unless a walkthrough tells me where all the compasses are - I only managed to find 21 out of 25.
Not nearly as good as the Samantha Swift Mysteries

Don't waste your time or energy!
Awful! Spent 1/2 hr playing trial & then uninstalled. If you check out the forum, you'll see all the probs everyone is having! In the 1st few mins, couldn't figure out the flashlight/torch issue. Had to read all the responses on the forum to figure out how to complete finding everything in the 1st room. Then, like others, I clicked on a door and ended up doing the compasses. Just froze and couldn't go anywhere. Others seem to have the same problem. Not worth uninstalling and re-installing. Just got rid of it!!

Older Style Game
My elderly mother and I just finished this game and were glad it was over. There were numerous hidden object scenes that were repeated with the same objects. Many of the objects were extremely tiny or the same color as the background, being almost impossible to find.
It looks older style and not done well even for that type.
It was boring and tedious, and the minigames were tedious, too, so we ended up skipping most of them.
It just is not a good game. Sorry.
