Straightforward, straight up fun classic HOG – big, colorful scenes – no magnifier but you really don't need one.

Straightforward, straight up fun classic HOG – big, colorful scenes – no magnifier but you really don't need one. Most scenes have a raccoon, a “lost” object, special objects and the usual list of HOG items to find so you'll be very busy trying to locate all of these various things during most scenes. The detective you meet in the opening scene is interested in acquiring the lost items as part of an investigation of some kind (we are led to believe) but there is resolution at the end so I guess we'll never know if we helped her or not, LOL. That said, there's no plot really here at all, just a setup for a plot. That doesn't really matter that much, as this is not a HOPA game and it is not advertised as such. That's fine with me really as a more complex plot doesn't necessarily mean it's a more enjoyable game experience. There are minis between some of the scenes – some are better than others, but you can skip the ones that don't interest you without any sort of penalty. Yes, this is a foreign produced project (as most HOGs are) and some of the listed objects have rather unusual names, but most of the time you can deduce what it is they're wanting you to find. There's also a peppy little soundtrack which adds to the mood. The whole game is very smooth and polished and well done as HOGs go. There will be another Lost and Found Agency installment after this one and I look forward to that one, too. I loved it! Show less

I recommend this game!

I really like this game. What drew me in right away were the graphics and how well the objects are hidden. Also that there are so many things in one scene. I think the developers did an amazing job with this one. I really like the puzzles in between. It is just beautiful and sometimes it's just more relaxing to play this type of game than a more complicated HOPA.

I recommend this game!

This comes across as a simpler knock off of the "Park Ranger/ Cruise Director" series. I do get tired of the same repetitive HOPS found in most games these days so this was a nice break. No story line at all really but that's okay. I also enjoyed the music to this one. Something I rarely say. It was entertaining enough that I'm purchasing.

I recommend this game!

If you like Hidden Object Games, this is a really enjoyable game! There are no timers or combo meters; therefore, no pressure, yet it still presents a decent amount of challenge. It has a bit of a story about a Detective Agency that finds lost or missing items, above-average graphics, fun features, and a ton of variety.

If you like Hidden Object Games, this is a really enjoyable game! There are no timers or combo meters; therefore, no pressure, yet it still presents a decent amount of challenge. It has a bit of a story about a Detective Agency that finds lost or missing items, above-average graphics, fun features, and a ton of variety. I was a fan of the first Detective Agency: Grey Tie game, and I bought the CE version at a fraction of the price elsewhere. (under 3 bucks!) I like the retro vibe, and the mini-games are better than those offered in some of the big HOPAs lately.

Each scene has a Lost Item to find with a pull-out tab on the right side. Most of the scenes have 3 bonus items to find via Silhouetted Shapes, and the raccoon has returned as well.

The Hidden Object Scenes vary with Listed Items, Silhouetted Shapes, Logically Related Pairs, Swatches, Multiples of the same object, Find & Replace, and even Descriptive Finds. Items in Pink are hidden in or behind other objects; items in Green require a task to be completed. You will earn a Red Star for completing the location, a Blue Star when you find the Raccoon and Silhouetted objects, and a Gold Star if you find the Lost & Found Item as well.

Unfortunately, there are several mislabeled or oddly named items which, for me, dragged down the "likeability" a bit. An hourglass was referred to as a Sand Glass, Yoghurt (which is the British version of yogurt), a wallet is referred to as a purse, and I have no idea what a Log Store is??? There was one scene that listed Crow x3, the first two were actual crows, and the third was listed in pink and ended up being a bell??? Obviously, the developer is trying to rely on a simple Russian-to-English translation program, probably a free Google version! (contact me, Avi, this is what I do!)

COLLECTOR'S EDITION EXTRAS:
12 Wallpapers, 20 Music Soundtracks w/player, 8 Bonus Levels, 8 Bonus Puzzles, 12 Extra Puzzle Games, a Hidden Raccoon in every HO scene, 3 Silhouetted Shape Finds per scene, and 1 Lost & Found Object per scene.

It doesn't really qualify as a real HOPA ---- just some HOS with some ok puzzles and a weak but barely serviceable story.

Good enough to be leveled above the junk involving animals, travel, etc. from other devs so it gets the 3 stars. However, it is not, imo, CE worthy at all

Graphic scenes are dark, cluttered, obviously English was not first language of developer, no magnifying option for dark objects on dark background. I love a good HOG without any "adventure" component so wanted to like this but just had too many negatives.

I don't recommend this game.

Try to earn 3 stars without losing patience, that's the real challenge here. Amongst the clutter are hidden a Raccoon, Silhoutte Item and Lost Item. There are items that require additional action, such as an air pump to inflate a tire. The scenes are too dark, the graphics are not good and it's very hard to recognize just about everything you need to find.

The scenes are too dark, the graphics are not good and it's very hard to recognize just about everything you need to find.

For those of us who don't have keen eyesight the blue words on the list pose a slight problem. Items are small and some are mislabeled which adds another unwelcomed challenge. You can't hurry through this game with such dark scenes which are on the edge of being blurry. Even the zoom zones are a problem. Had to skip the demo mini-game, for me it was just un-doable.

I would suggest passing this game up unless you have super sharp vision and you love frustration. Show less

I don't recommend this game.
