Has Hidden Objects and Puzzles! I found it easy at some places and hard at others. The puzzles are the hardest for me
I had to get the strategy guide, and I'm still stuck in one area,,,/The use of the shovel on the sand

I hope ppl try out this game. It's lots of fun!!!

I recommend this game!

While this is not one of the "snazzy" games, (no movies, no voices) It is a really fun game to play. The game tempo keeps you moving along at an enjoyable pace, the HOS are challenging without being frustrating, the puzzles are frequent with clear instructions, and the story line is amusing. This game is a great choice for anyone looking to spend a long afternoon just having fun!

I recommend this game!

This game, to me, was a pleasant distraction and alternative experience from the latest difficult and really challenging games that are around these days. It was interesting without being too envolved. Dr Artifact is called on for his help by several people to have their mysterious items examined by his unique equipment to solve three separate but related phases of a mysterious plot which has rather a surprising finale. There is quite a bit of dialogue to read through but it is necessary for the understanding of the story line. There are two modes to play - easy and normal, I played normal and found it relatively straight-forward. The graphics were clear, clean, bright and colourful. The hidden objects were of the standard type and also multiple items required to assemble into one part. All were reasonable simple to locate without too much difficulty. The puzzles were rather unique and different but were reasonably easy to solve, some required a little more nous.
I enjoyed it - a relaxing, pleasant and not too much taxing of the old grey cells. Show less

I recommend this game!

i read the other reviews and thought i would give it a chance anyway. based on demo.
No vo's just reading
sound not sure since i turned off the music which i normally do
graphics nice and clear altho some parts of objects have tendency to be obscure
the constant loading is annoying but they are quick to load
the drawing and coloring of the characters look like a good comic book drawing nicely done ...Show more

You have a choice, playing two different modes, Easy and Normal. I played normal and it was easy for me.

There are lots of puzzles and I enjoyed that. The story line is so-so, and the graphics are not bad, but they are not that good either. I did like the magnifying glass for the HOS.

When I bought this a couple of years ago, there weren't nearly all of the sophisticated games that are out there at present. Having said that, I played this again today with my granddaughter, who didn't care for the continual "Loading" from one scene or experience to the next. I liked the HOS's, and I liked the three different scenarios. It's a simple, easy to finish game.

I recommend this game!

This game is a series of Hidden Object scenes, sprinkled with a few easy puzzles now and then.

I just completed the game using my Windows 10 PC with no problem whatsoever.

Objects in the scenes are not cluttered and are well drawn and not tiny... so you should have no problem finding them without using the "hint" feature. There are also fragmented objects in order to resolve puzzles.

The game has 3 stories/chapters, which can be completed (without skipping) in about 45 minutes each, and flow nicely.

No animations, no voice-overs: just a bit of reading the very short dialogues.

Not a contender for "favorite game", but still simple fun. Show less

I recommend this game!

Has one feature I haven't seen before - you can switch to an alternative selection of objects to find if you're stuck, but in some of the mini games I couldn't seem to work out what was needed, and I only tried the "easy" rather than "normal" level.

I don't recommend this game.
