Bought this a while back and just played again.
It is a super hidden object game and you can learn some things about the past, too.
You travel to different locations to find the "great treasures".
The scenes are sometimes a challenge as all objects are well hidden. There are also helps as in you may need to dig, brush, burn or break open things to find the object you need.
You also need to find the "geocache" object that will be displayed in the museum. To find out what object this is, you click the down arrow at the upper right side of the screen and a riddle and/or description to solve will give you a clue as to what to find.
After all the scenes are finished in one area, you can go back and there is a bonus round of objects to find.
This is a great game for children & adults. Show less

I recommend this game!

It has a great story line to it and the graphics, colours, are awsome. I loved that it was in the time of Pharou ( sorry spelling ) anyway back than.

A nice little sequel to the Escape the Museum games. This time, no earthquake to start things off. It is an adventure to find various valuables from history to ADD to the museum.

The hidden objects can be very difficult to see - but that IS the point, right? And, you have an option to return to see if you can find even more items once a scene is cleared.

A nice little sequel to the Escape the Museum games. This time, no earthquake to start things off. It is an adventure to find various valuables from history to ADD to the museum.

The hidden objects can be very difficult to see - but that IS the point, right? And, you have an option to return to see if you can find even more items once a scene is cleared.

The music is a little annoying, so I podded that way down. The voice over is good and the story is interesting (IMO). The graphics are not as sharp as could be, but still, not that bad, either.

Overall, I like the game a lot. No going back and forth to find a single item. The scene is the only place you need to be. The riddles can give your brain cells a tug but they are not impossible. The geocache has a riddle and the journal has another set of tip style riddles.

Not a dark game at all so if you like creepy dark, this is not the game for you. This IS a nice little break from all the darkness. Show less

Now it is true that a lot of items are hard to find in this game, but they give you an item finder that helps immensely instead of a hint system, although there are a few hints in your journal. I only got stumped a few times, but there is an excellent walkthrough at the site. But I just loved playing this game.

I only got stumped a few times, but there is an excellent walkthrough at the site. But I just loved playing this game. You have to find treasures and you get a little brush to brush dust away, and a hammer to break items like clay jars, so you can find things, and a lighter to burn some things. You even get a shovel to dig up treasure. It was just a lot of fun and I give it my recommendation! :) Show less

Yeah, it's dated, and some of the scenes are too dark, so you have to use the hints to find some of the items, but overall, it has everything I'm looking for in a game. No HOS junk piles.

A few tools that are used throughout the game, and some items that are found and used in specific scenes. No back tracking. A variety of different locations, where the setting and the items (for the most part) fit the theme. A storyline that is pretty straightforward and does not involve rescuing grandpa from the supernatural. Puzzles that can be solved using logic and perseverance, and none of them repeat. I also appreciated the chapters, so that I could finish one, then get back to my real life, and pick it up again without having to try to remember where I was. Show less

The storyline is quite interesting, but it is minimal. There are also a few puzzles; but they are minimal too, and also quite easy. No, this is primarily a Hidden Object (HO) game. The old-fashioned kind. Basically, you go from one location to another, each one presenting a scene in which you have to find the items named in the list. Yet, the game is more than just a series of HO puzzles (HOPs). ...Show more

The storyline is quite interesting, but it is minimal. There are also a few puzzles; but they are minimal too, and also quite easy. No, this is primarily a Hidden Object (HO) game. The old-fashioned kind. Basically, you go from one location to another, each one presenting a scene in which you have to find the items named in the list. Yet, the game is more than just a series of HO puzzles (HOPs). It has several features that set it apart from other games of this type.

TOOLS: Around the very beginning of the game, you will acquire four tools: an Item Finder, a Brush, a Hammer, and a Lighter. The last three items are actually necessary because you will need to use one or more of them to reveal items highlighted in blue on your list. The Item Finder, on the other hand, is a substitute for the usual "Hint" in such HO games. I am rather surprised that one of the reviewers couldn't figure out how to use this gadget. For those of you who might have a similar difficulty, here is how. Just take it out of the Tools tab, and hover it across the scene. That's it! The Item Finder will do the rest. It actually works like a metal-detector. As soon as you pass it over an object you haven't found yet, its meter will hit the top and it will sound the loudest. But you don't even have to figure out where that happened! Because, even if you have moved past the object, the Item Finder's meter will remain the highest, and the sound will keep getting louder until the object automatically appears in full view and then disappears. The object is then also grayed out from your list. Pretty cool, eh?

GEOCACHES: Each location has one of these, but you don't *have* to find any of them to proceed in the game itself. They are just there for some additional fun. If you click on the down-arrow right of the word "Geocache" in the upper-right of the HOP, you will be presented with a riddle. That would be your clue as to what you are seeking. Figuring out the riddle helps you look for the geocache item, of course; but you don't have to solve the riddle to get the item. You may well find it *accidentally* as you click around the scene! So, if you like riddles and would rather find the geocache on your own, be sure to check out the riddle before you do anything else at a location.

BONUS HOPs: After you finish the required HOP, the game will take you to the next location on the map, either by plane or on foot. But you can return to the first (or ANY) location simply by clicking on it; OR, if the game has returned you to the Museum, then by clicking on the previous (or ANY) block of locations and then on the location you would like to revisit. When you thus return to a location, you will get a message, essentially telling you that another HOP has been provided for your additional pleasure. This message will also advise you that you don't have to finish this HOP and can just return to the main game. That is why I have called them bonus HOPs. You can play them, if you like; or move on, if you don't.

In short, this is quite a fun game, a real delight especially for the HOP-lovers; and I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did. :) Show less

Somewhat lengthy, depending on your expertise in finding well hidden items. Some adventure but majority is HOG. Interactive map. Generally, your locations are static. Your journal will give you a list of clues, usually one clue per location. HOS are somewhat challenging; items are very well blended in. You have an item finder, hammer, brush and lighter throughout the game to help you find hidden items. Whether playing casual or difficult mode, the protagonist talks a lot and is constantly giving you clues of what to do, which can get annoying, especially if you don't want the help.

Each location tells you what % of items and whether a geocache (one in each location) have been found. You are not told what the geocache is. Tells you “Location Complete” even if the geocache hasn’t been found yet. Once you return to the museum, you will be given the chance to revisit locations to find the geocache and a new list of items to earn a gold star. Graphics are good, though a bit bland in some locations. Items are detailed but very well blended into background. Music is okay. No puzzles. Show less

It was however a really nice hidden object game with a side of adventure. Your goal is to find out if a treasure really exists or if the letter somebody sent you is a hoax. If real, the Civil War treasures would be an awesome addition to your museum. You will search library's and even the Empire State Building for clues. Some items you find will be kept in your toolbox to help you throughout the game, such as brushes and hammers. I would have loved this game if the items were a tad bit more recognizable, some items were just too small. Show less
