A fantastic horror SE!
I missed this game when it was released, and am sorry I didn't get to play it sooner!
This is exactly what the title says: a scary campfire story to keep you on the edge of your seat.
The game is mostly hidden objects, and they are pretty difficult (which I like). You may have to search several areas for the items you need. The games aren't too hard but enjoyable.
Many "scary" games on BFG, both SE and CE, could learn from this developer.
As soon as I finished I bought the other 2 Campfire Legend games.
Highly recommended if you enjoy a good thrill!

Very Good !!
First game of the series. And the most difficult one I think. Some puzzles are really hard to solve. Whatever, it was too good to play and the ending of it made me = WHY ?? Thank you Big Fish.

A real challenge
After about 3 weeks I finally finished this fun game using a walkthru and 3 videos. I ran out of the firefly hints early on so had to keep plugging away. This is the best of the campfire legend games but the other 2 are good too. There is no puzzle skip buttons so it is all up to the player.

WOW
I totally loved this game and now I see there are 2 more games like this on Bigfish. The sequel to this one is called "The Babysitter" and then the 3rd, is called, "The Last Act".
These games are so unique, you really get into them. The voice overs and the art work are fantastic. It is also designed to scare you from time to time with some jump scares.
These are great and I am glad I found them. Ill get them all.

No lurid colors!
It's worth 4 stars just because of the coloring. I am sooo tired of the garish colors so popular with the devs these days. The moment I see those neon colors while I'm shopping for a game I just move on.
It's spooky enough to have made me jump a couple times and some of the puzzles are difficult enough that I needed help from youtube. That's better than the the simple minded same old same old.
The most refreshing thing about the plot was that there actually was one and it was neither tired nor predictable.
Sort of short but it kept me interested all the way through. Most games by the mainstream devs bore me so badly that I start skipping puzzles just to get it over with.
So if you're tired of haunted hotels and castles and unicorns and purple moonlight you just might enjoy this.

Why has Campfire Legends not been reviewed yet?
Because of the storyline it is important to play this series in sequence: The Hookman, The Babysitter, Last Act. The Hookman starts out with some girlfriends sitting around their campfire wanting to hear a spooky story. One of the girls begins an "urban legend" tale about The Hookman. But one of the others chimes in, saying that it is a true story of a family that was murdered years ago and they all are anxious to hear about it. That's where our fun begins...
We find a young lady arriving at the cabin in the woods for a fun getaway. Her boyfriend is late, as he usually is, for everything, so she isn't yet concerned. Mom and Dad arrived earlier, but left a note on the cabin door saying they are out exploring. So now the girl is all alone and it is getting late. Creepy and baffling things begin happening. Having trouble entering the cabin at first, she finally succeeds and inside is where the creepiness escalates.
The lights don't work, that means a trip to the basement. After restoring the electricity, she sees something bad happened there. Things are torn up and broken, scattered everywhere. So, she has no clue yet as to horror she will soon be dealing with who is out there lurking in the dark, scary woods.
Now our HO fun, puzzles/games, challenges come into play. There is a lot of putting things back together, going back and forth, getting things to work again. A busy game. In my opinion it is very challenging, but not impossibly so. I imagine the experts will think it's a snap! I am intermediate, but pretty darn good at it, finally! The objects are very well hidden and not the usual way of using the found items, and the hint system is different. Difference is good, it takes away the ho-hums. You acquire hints, only 5 max at a time, by finding fireflies. You must remember to always search for them throughout the game, lest you totally run out of hints. They are quite small and blend well into the scenes, but not impossible to find. When help is needed just click on one of the bugs in your collection and it unlocks a hint. I was worried about all this at the start, but was able to get along fine with much hard thinking and few hints. Much easier really than it sounds. Actually, when I did use a hint I found another bug almost right away to replace it.
I love everything about this game. The graphics are clear, the color good, the music is grim and fitting, good storyline. All the HO scenes, puzzles, interest factor, scary moments, challenge were excellent in my opinion. I like that there is a definite sequence to playing the games. Hopefully, you will enjoy as much as I did. For me, it was money well spent.
P.S. I am 69 yrs oId, not ready yet to become a tired, bored old lady and I own approx. 500 games, maybe more. And why? you may ask, or not. Because, they make me think and challenge myself. They help keep my mind clear and strong, provide wonderful entertainment, take me to their fantasy worlds. Thanks, Big Fish, for keeping that spark in me bright and constant. Much love to you all...

BASED ON FULL GAME PLAYED
This is the first in a trilogy. It is an older game and I finished it in 2011.
I have played MANY games by now and this is one of the only ones that actually frightened me out of my chair. (This part is near the end and not in the demo).
This series still stands out as a favorite of mine. It can be challenging at times.
This is a high quality series and the last one even offers more than many CE do for the SE price. The Last Act (#3, has a great screensaver, DL concept art, in game strategy guide and you can replay the amazing cut scenes.)
In order to appreciate these games though, I would suggest playing them in order.
I highly recommend this series.

Think outside the box
Loved this game and the sequels. This is not your usual HOG and it took me a while to get the hang of finding items but that was O.K. for me because I enjoy something different every once in a while. I liked the challenge of this game. The fireflies were a great hint idea because you could use some to point you in a direction or use your full complement to solve your problem. I always found more. Keep your eyes open and enjoy!

A amazing and fun hidden object game.
I was looking for new games to purchase and I was scrolling through the titles in the hidden object games when I came across this campfire legends. I have always enjoyed campfires so I found myself compelled to open the game. I was surprised there wasn't any ratings nor had the campfire games been advertised by big fish that I can recall as suggested games I would like etc. There are three of this series campfire legends, the hookman - campfire legends, the babysitter, and campfire legends, the last act. I played the free trials on both the hookman and the babysitter and I really loved the games. There is a lot to do hidden object which are not the normal find the objects and move on this one gives you other projects to do once you find the objects. and there are many puzzles which I found fun to do, You do not begin the game with the normal hints like most of the big fish games on these one's you must locate fireflies to earn your hints. After playing the second in the series on the trial I immediately purchased all three games. I am not going to go into the story line with you as upsydydaisy did a excellent job in describing the game to you in her review. I do have to say however that the story is really good- I really loved the campfire tales they discuss around the fire. There were numerous times the game made me jump. Don't let the fact that there hasn't been may reviews as of yet on this series for it is every bit worth purchasing and a lot of fun to play. Enjoy playing these games I know I am. I have over three hundred games and I am just glad I didn't let these pass me by.

Love This Game!
When I first started the game, I thought it looked to be one of those easy games where there would be a lot of hand holding. I was absolutely wrong. This is not one of those way too easy games, that there are too many of for my taste. You had to really look for the hidden objects, they are not laid out in front of you in plain view. This is mostly a hidden object game with a few puzzles. I'm tired of games that are listed under hidden objects and turn out to be almost entirely puzzles.
Most of the things you need to find are small, you really have to look closely. People with bad eyes may want to skip this one, but for those of you that love a challenging hidden object game...do not pass this one up! I've already purchased the two other Campfire Legends games, I hope they are as good as this one!
