When I saw that this game only had an average of 3 stars I was surprised because it is a very nice, fun, relaxing Hidden Object game. I love the whole series of Faircroft's Antiques games and this one is no exception. I honestly cannot understand the low ratings. If you love the old fashion HO games, then try this one for yourself and don't let the negative ratings discourage you. I almost did, wondering what was wrong with this one that it would warrant such low ratings. I am so glad I tried it and ended up buying it. I sure hope the manufacturer does not get discouraged by the low ratings and keeps them coming for those of us who love it. Show less

I recommend this game!

This game is not that bad. It is a great family friendly game. I had no trouble finding the items, and there is a hint button. Sure there is a lot of dialogue, but I find it interesting. It is telling about the history and the mystery which I like. For hard gamers it will be boring, but if you have kids it educational and fun.

I recommend this game!

This series follows Mia Faircroft, an antique restoration expert, on her adventures in various locations searching for precious artifacts as well as the history and personalities attached to them.

Though I did not review them, I have played the previous games in the Faircroft's Antiques series (Treasures of Treffenburg and The Heir of Glen Kinnoch) so I knew what to expect. What do I like about the series? Chiefly that it's clear there has been an actual effort to create several different characters, and to give each character a distinct personality as well as his/her own side story. There are no one or two-dimensional characters here. Now it's one thing to try, but another to succeed, and in this series the developers have succeeded. The characters in this series have far more depth than the typical HOP game that is offered. If that doesn't interest you, then you probably will not like this game or the others in the series.

That's because there isn't much else unique to this series. The HOPS and puzzles are fine. You will play four or five HOPs as well as one or two puzzles per "chapter" (there are many chapters). Nothing that you have not seen before. However, the various locations all tie into the story as well as the chapter. For that reason, I judge these to be among the best written games in this genre.

I will add that toward the end of the games, the story does sometimes drag a bit, as if to keep you in suspense about the ending. Also, and this is VERY IMPORTANT, each game in this series is best played in several sittings rather than straight through (I believe this could be the reason for some of the not-so-positive reviews). Because the games are longer than the typical HOPA, as well as the nature of the play, playing straight through could become somewhat tedious. Fortunately, it is easy to pick up where you left off, even if it's been a while.

I think this game, and the others in the series, are well worth your time and investment. You'll find yourself actually caring about the characters and how their situations are resolved. This is something the typical HOPA offering rarely, if ever, achieves. Show less

I recommend this game!

heaps of hidden object scenes. loved the storyline too. this series is different in the fact that it has silhouettes, photos and riddles for objects to be found in the scenes. I have absolutely loved playing all of the games in this series. I hope there is another soon.

I recommend this game!

I only just started playing but already, I am really enjoying this one. It even has animated items in the scenes which I haven't seen in other HOG. What I do not like is that the skip function often doesn't work and just continues on with the dialogue.

I recommend this game!

There are so many people saying that there's way too much dialogue.
There always has been. These games have not changed. At all.
Don't people know how to use the skip button?
There isn't any need to continuously click through the constant chatter beteeen characters. Just SKIP it all. If you go back several games, they're quite similar.

Test a game first before a purchase. Use the skip feature; it's your friend.
These games are perfect for people who simply like looking for objects. HOS are always followed by some kind of puzzle.
Whenever I see a game by this company, I always know what I'm getting.
They make me smile. Show less
