There are lots of interesting scenes and they are never repeated. There are unlimited hints and a nice gentle mystery running throughout. There are some mini puzzles that you zoom in on, in HOS and mini games in between HOS but they are all doable and skippable. It felt very fast paced and linear and was mostly just hidden object scenes.
I just love the uniqueness of the invisible men and women ...Show more

I just love the uniqueness of the invisible men and women doing all manner of things, eating, drinking, sunbathing, cooking, playing musical instruments etc. But of course, everything is not as it seems... Show less

I recommend this game!

For such a comparatively small game this one seemed to go on for ever not that this was a bad thing. The bad thing was that the dialogue was a bit tedious at first as I couldn't read it all before it disappeared. The explanations between scenes were better bigger and stayed on longer. The graphics were very good, clear and colourful, the intro was a bit childish but this improved as the game ...Show more

For such a comparatively small game this one seemed to go on for ever not that this was a bad thing. The bad thing was that the dialogue was a bit tedious at first as I couldn't read it all before it disappeared. The explanations between scenes were better bigger and stayed on longer. The graphics were very good, clear and colourful, the intro was a bit childish but this improved as the game progressed. The scenery was excellent. The plot seemed to be to collect a number, which at times was challenging to find, from each scene to be added to a grid of numbers. A diary entry was made at the end of each scene. The puzzles were simple to medium and quite entertaining and the hidden objects were clear but some needed a hint. This replenished in a short time. After a bit of doubt at the beginning, this game developed into a good game, great scenery and interesting to play. The ending was a bit of a surprise but on the whole it is worth the money.

I recommend this game!

This is a cute little(not short)HOG. It was about travel and trying to collect numbers. The numbers were the hardest HOs to find I think and then you used the numbers to spell out a message. I would say this is a good HO game.

I recommend this game!

This was a very simple game without any frills. There was no adventure or challenging puzzles to get in the way of the ho scenes. The very simple puzzles that were offered are really geared for a young child, just beginning to play these games.
The visual quality was clear, but some of the items were very hard to spot as they were so small.

I will purchase this one only to just have a mindless game to play when I am just looking to unwind. Also, will purchase it for my granddaughter.
Thanks to BF for really steering away from the usual dark themes and the need to go back and forth between scenes. Show less

straight forward HOS one after another. Nice bright places nothing gloomy or creepy. In between HOS you have mini puzzles which are relatively easy. The hard bit on this one is looking for the numbers. Some objects are well hidden.
Recommend this one for beginners or children who love HOS. For well seasoned HO players this is too easy.

I recommend this game!

Very few puzzles and those were pretty easy except for the "find the differences" which I completed failed. Luckily there is a skip button. This is an older game with poor graphics. Many hidden objects are either very tiny or blend into dark backgrounds around the periphery of the scene. It's also very short--about two hours. It's not an awful game but there are so many that are better!

I don't recommend this game.
