Mystery Casle Files Ravenhearst is one of the best Hidden Object Games that I have played since Huntsville and Madame Fate. When I first time I played Ravenhearst game I was little freaked out about by how spooky the game is hearing voice of Emma urging you on to save her. I love this type of game that you can play over and over again and yet get different objects to look for.

Make sure you get Return to Ravenhearst as well.

I'm excited for the next installment of Ravenhearst saga: Mystery Case Files Escape from Ravenhearst; which is coming very soon.. Show less

The third game of my favorite series. Again, bigfish added something new in this episode. The doors puzzles. What a nice surprise !!!
Some rooms are directly accessibles and other ones are locked and you have to solve puzzles in order to enter the rooms and hidden objects scenes

That's a straight Hidden Object games and even if you prefer interactive games, this one is really fun.

That's the first episode of a very very creepy story.
You meet Charles Dalimar and Emma Ravenhearst . Show less

This is one of the first (of many) Hidden Object games I purchased. The graphics are great as is the hidden objects - it really makes you think! Great for the older generation to keep their wits about them. I love this game. I'm 56yrs old!

I recommend this game!

This is an excellent hidden object game, it is very heavy on the hidden object side- so be warned. It also has a strong and exciting storyline (told through the medium of diary entries which are assembled like a torn paper jigsaw puzzles at the end of each chapter).
There are also some truly unique and inspired puzzles which are bonkers, yet brilliant and SO satisfying to complete!

This is the first game in the 'Ravenhearst' series and is just lovely! Graphics are a bit old/grainy but not too bad. Give it a trial! Show less

This is where we first encounter Emma and Charles.....it was an eerie but fun game.....and it kept you on your toes......literally......who knew there would be many more games to follow this one. The mini-games are fun (a tad bit difficult but what isnt)......there are forums to help when you need it. The story is very well played.....some parts made me sad then angry.....there is nothing I didnt like about the game (except for one character). I suggest you start here before you play any of the other Ravenhearst series so you wont be lost. But also play the other MCF games in-between to keep up with current affairs.....you wont regret it. I must add it made me love hidden object games more......so go for it. Show less

I have just recently returned to play some of these timeless HOG games and have found that I really like this style of game. I have played the newer versions such as Return to Ravenhearst and absolutely love the twisted story, but I passed on this game several times because I didn't feel there was enough adventure for my taste. To my surprise I really had fun searching all of the rooms for clues even with that timer clicking away. After searching each room you had to solve a puzzle or mini game where several gadgets needed to be tinkered with, no instructions other than figure out what needs to be done, frustrating but completely entertaining.

Although the hidden object scenes are mostly junkpiles and some for me were difficult to see (the green on green background in the garden), the game more than makes up for it by its excellent storyline and puzzles. For each location, there is a jigsaw and door-lock puzzle so those who like jigsaws like myself will find them in abundance here. The story is dark and disturbing and as the story unfolds, you will put together a jigsaw picture that corresponds to that particular day in Emma's diary. You'll also hear whisperings scattered throughout the game to make it more realistic. And the door puzzles are of the most unusual kind with funny animations included which have nothing to do with solving the puzzle but are there to lighten your mood and make you smile. Even though there are no instructions for the puzzles, you can basically just click around on everything and things will fall into place and you will notice a pattern form as to what to do. When I first played Ravenhearst, I just kept clicking around and the locks would open on some of them without me knowing how I did it. Upon later plays, I saw the pattern and was able to solve them the "right" way. I never needed to consult a walkthrough or the forums. Finding the skeleton keys at the end was thrilling as it was timed, so try to find them when you're at those locations earlier in the game so you'll remember where you've seen then and you won't get too stressed later. A tip for when you're finding the keys during the timed portion: write down the rooms where you pick them up from so you don't waste time going back there looking for a key that you've already retrieved from that room. There are many rooms and because of how you access those rooms, you may forget that you've already visited that one when looking for the keys. So if you love finding hidden objects and doing jigsaw puzzles, you'll like Ravenhearst. I played this one after failing miserably the first time with the puzzles in Madame Fate. The door-lock puzzles in Ravenhearst got my confidence back in that they were challenging but not ridiculously hard like in Madame Fate. I like these better. Show less
