I have always been a fan of the Big City Adventure series. This adventure takes us to Barcelona where Grandpa serenaded Grandma, and the family decides to search for the guitar that was used. This is purely a HOG adventure with a Mini Game available after each Hidden Object Scene. You will visit popular tourist attractions throughout Barcelona such as Casa Batllo, Montjuic, and Gran Teatre del liceu. You can choose a Timed or Relaxed mode, and you can opt for zoomed in areas or turn off riddle descriptions.

Each Hidden Object Scene has a hidden guitar that isn't on the list, for a total of 60 guitars. (hopefully one of those are the guitar we're searching for) Each scene will have coins (again, not on the list) the coins are for extra hints, some add 2 minutes to the timer (on Timed Mode) some add 1000 points to your score and some can be used to fast forward the hints. Each scene has one area that can be zoomed into, and usually has 2 items hidden within, that are listed in blue. Unless you opted for no riddles in the option settings, there will be at least one item listed in the form of a riddle, such as, a sideways walker, meaning a crab, or a rounded clothes fastener, meaning a button.

After each and every HOG, you will solve a Mini Game which shows you the next location you are going to visit, when solved. Most of the puzzles are quick and simple such as rotating tiles to complete a train track from the top left to the bottom right, using arrows to guide a ball from bumper to bumper and into a hole, Mahjong, or a Match 3 type game where you click on groups of 2 or more images until all wooden cells have been broken under the images.

This is a wonderful series that takes us to beautiful countries, and explains interesting facts about some of the most popular tourist attractions. In my opinion, this game is meant to be enjoyed as a family activity, easy enough for the kids (or grandkids) to participate, and interesting enough for adults to enjoy too. Pack your bags HOG fans, you're Barcelona Bound, enjoy! Show less

I recommend this game!

I have grown quite weary of HOG games where I have to add inventory and put it in the right place. I just want some great ALL HOG games. I've looked for & purchased all of the total HOG games I could find (some have impossible amts of objects to find and are not casual but with a ridiculously short timer). Anyway, Since I love the Big City Adventure games (I have them all & replay often) it was a super treat today to have a new one. Same game play as the others with a few new mini games added. I'm delighted to have a new BCA game to play. thank you BFG and Jolly Bear for giving me more fun. Great explanations of what I'm visiting in Barcelona, as with your other games. I am enjoying my day thanks to you!!! Nothing with death, dreary story lines, horror, etc. Just fun and learning at the same time. Show less

I recommend this game!

I am a big fan of these big city adventure games. I know the old style hidden object games don't appeal to a lot of gamers, but I'm sure there are still people out there that do like these. I thought this one was very well done and I like the clarity of the scenes. The music is pretty. I really can't find anything I don't like about this game.

I enjoyed the demo the further along I got into it. It starts out kind of drab in my opinion but as the scenes leave the old brown drab buildings and get outside into the open it becomes more colorful, which I like.

I enjoyed the demo the further along I got into it. It starts out kind of drab in my opinion but as the scenes leave the old brown drab buildings and get outside into the open it becomes more colorful, which I like.
I am not a great reviewer like some but just thought since I finished the demo I would add my two cents.
I thought it was very hard on these old eyes because there are so many items to find and most are very small or well hidden.
The background music is someone playing a guitar which is nice, not annoying.
I found that if you have played the other games then this is all the same except the location, Mini games are the same, coin collection is the same, there are 60 locations to visit and you have to find a guitar in each location.
All in all it is a buy for me, it will be a great game to play while watching TV since you don't have to rush. By the way does anyone use the point system that they have in all these games? I figure if I get all the objects without using to many coins that it is a winner for me. Show less

I recommend this game!

I love these games and have waited so long for Big Fish to get this one. They are so much fun, something we can see and not in the dark. Lots of different games as well as my favorite HOV's. I just wish there were more games like this.

I recommend this game!

I get these games for my mom, she loves the HOGs without the fancy inventories and other interactive stuff. She just wants to find things, but the mini games between each scene are a plus. I hope there are many more of these to come!

I recommend this game!
