Great Hidden Object-Adventure Hybrid November 6, 2009
Leslie H. Basden (California)
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

This game is a beautifully made hybrid of the hidden object and adventure genres. The objects you seek are broken up into many pieces. Some pieces can be placed in their proper locations when they are reconstituted, but others must be used alone or in combination with other pieces to unlock the next door, rather like the escape-the-room games such as Trapped: The Abduction and Escape the Museum. The pieces are well-hidden but are not tiny, and the scenes are uncluttered, so you're not dredging through large heaps of items lying all over.

There is an adequate hint system, so you shouldn't find yourself stuck and frustrated often. The puzzles are challenging and some require concentration and patience, so this is a game for older kids or adults; a five-year old might not have the skills yet to complete some of the tougher tasks.

The game is a good value in that the time it takes to complete it is greater than most seek and find games, and it is challenging enough to play well several times. If you enjoy this kind of game, try also the second in the series, Magic Encyclopedia: Moon Light, which is equally worthy of your time. Other similarly made games include the two Mortimer Beckett offerings and Mystery Case Files: Return to Ravenhearst, Campfire Legends: The Hookman, Department 42, and Vampire Saga: Pandora's Box. This new hybrid genre is growing rapidly, and these are among the best to date.

Best DL Game September 22, 2009
L. Schwartz (Weston, Florida)
I have three more searches to go but I was very surprised how awesome the graphics are. The storyline is cheasy but cute and you are sent on a journey as a girl to find her brother through coded messages. There are five objects in each search that you must collect, piece by piece as well as jewels to store in the jewel box for later in the game. The game takes you around the world and you see the mayan ruins, graveyards, western scenes, russia, japan, etc. I love all the searches however the pipe puzzle and matching external numbers with internal numbers on a circular chart were the most difficult games. You are timed on the puzzles but you are given MORE than enough time to complete the puzzles. Great challenging game and not impossible to finish !! I suggest it to all people of age 10 and above, unless your child is a genius.

This game was great. I never would have figured out a couple of things on my own, but that's perfect. I'd rather it be too challenging than too easy. So bummed I'm finished!

We loved this game. We like "task oriented" puzzlers and this fit the bill. The puzzles were challanging and fun. My 6.5 year old loved it. He beat it in 4 days. Can't wait for ME2 to come out.
