I absolutely love the Mortimer Beckett games and own them all, and now this one. It is the first CE and still comes with no frills. But the changes in this one are delightful and there is very minimal character movement in this cartoonish installment. My demo went by so fast, I just simply bought it, to carry on!

I absolutely love the Mortimer Beckett games and own them all, and now this one. It is the first CE and still comes with no frills. But the changes in this one are delightful and there is very minimal character movement in this cartoonish installment. My demo went by so fast, I just simply bought it, to carry on!

So Mortimer inherits his uncle's museum in the little town of Snuggford. He travels there and finds the place in a mess and while cleaning things up finds a letter from Uncle Jerome telling of an important artifact, the "Book of Gold". This inheritance and the Book of Gold sends Mortimer on an adventure to unusual places, lots of things to search for, a mystery to solve and bad guys to hinder his quest. They want the Book of Gold and he is in their way!

He hooks up with a very bored young lady from Snuggford, just dying for something exciting to happen in her life. They end up together in this big adventure. Opposites attract! I just hope they don't get in each other's way ( lol )! I think this is a sweet, positive change for Mortimer Beckett. He's never had a love interest before and will somehow make the game even more fun.

The theme song is really neat, actually sung and the music in the game has almost a Pink Panther type sound, but I could be wrong. No matter, I love it ! The graphics are sharp, minimal animation, very colorful. No voice-overs and plenty of dialogue, but nice large print making it easy on the eyes. Mortimer's appearance has changed and I like it, big improvement. Now he's a cute little guy, still geeky but more likeable. The last couple of games he was looking pretty Ugh!

The only settings I found were sound and music and just one "How to Play" instruction. There is a skip puzzle button in upper left of screen, which is indicated by a puzzle piece in the green circle with the question mark. That also serves as the hint button too I think. Since I did not use, not sure.

The items you search for in this HOG/Adventure game are broken in several pieces and scattered about, and it shows how many pieces to find. As in all Mortimer games they are cleverly hidden and not super easy to find. It is always a nice, fun challenge without pulling your hair out. There are subtle little sparkles throughout, but not the kind that are annoying. I only had two puzzles in the demo and the first one was quite clever. Mortimer Beckett games are always fun with just enough average to hard challenge.

Look for a cute little mouse in each level, it is your collectible. Complete a level using no hints and win a green check mark. If you accomplish this on each level, you win a trophy. Trophies are kept in suitcase in upper right corner, can view anytime. The level can always be replayed if you don't succeed the first time.

Well, I am anxious to get on with the adventure. I know I will enjoy it, as I have never been disappointed with a Mortimer Beckett game. Are there other big fans out there?! And I know it won't be liked by everyone, but try the demo and have a little fun!

I recommend this game!

What an unexpected delight. This is a light hearted hidden- object adventure game packed with a lot of charm. Mortimer has just inherited his uncle's museum. Mortimer is quite the character, he loves talking to himself in a humorous fashion as he bumbles through the museum looking for the elusive book of gold his late uncle tasked him with in a letter he stumbles upon in the first level.

You find hidden objects that are in pieces that are littered throughout the scene. Some of them are not easy to find. The hint button is useful and recharges after a short amount of time. Once you piece together the objects you drag them into the scene to use. With in each chapter there is a mouse to find as well as a mini-game to complete. There is a skip button.

The game-play and graphics are flawless and the storyline is well constructed making this a quality game. This is a game the whole family can enjoy. Show less

This game is fun, some levels are more difficult and it took me a while to get it, but that is all about it, to have fun. It is a still more like the Mortimer games and not Delicious and why Mortimer can't meet his dream girl? The look of character's is based on Delicious however you don't serve the customers, you still search for the hidden parts to assemble and solve the puzzles.
The only annoying thing is that Big fish only offers a collector's edition. It is not worth paying a double. Show less

I recommend this game!

I never review games anymore but I had to try to raise the rating on this one! I'm pretty tired of the same old dark hidden object games and this is very different from those. It took me a while to get into the rhythm of this game but once I did, I really enjoyed it.I thought this was more interesting and fun than most of the games i've played in a long time!

I recommend this game!

Lovely, lush graphics, nice sound, good characters and great game play. It reminds me a little of the old school adventure games. There's a touch of Monkey Island in there. Also, I'm a big fan of the delicious games and this game is like those in graphics and style. What I really liked was the replayability of the game. I played it a second time, attempting to get all of the trophies. I didn't quite manage it. It's challenging at times if you don't use the hint button, as the puzzles/mini games are quite difficult and the objects can be hard to find. There is so much variety in the game play though, which made it exciting to play.
*Spoiler Alert* - nice to see Emily at the end. Show less

I really enjoyed this game. I see others have called it light hearted and charming and I certainly agree with them. I love that it starts in Snuggford and has a Delicious tie in. It's been a long time since I've played the previous MB games so I can't comment on the changes. I admit it could have been more challenging but I thought it was fun and I hope there are more MB games in the future. .

I recommend this game!

I loved the storyline. I think what hesitated me on the game was the tie in to delicious. Not my cup of team but try it. I only had to skip two of the puzzles because there was no clue on what to do.

The graphics were great and I love a good storyline which it had. Some of the extra puzzles are a pain but if you keep trying you will get them. I don't understand why so many ratings of one. I thought this was a great addition and I want more. Show less

I'm always looking for something a bit different. I tend to shy away from the games that EVERYONE loves. This fits the bill. Super adorable, great story, and lots of gameplay! I also really like the music and find myself singing it throughout the day! LOL
