This game is absolutely awesome. The story line is great! Its about a family who is run out of their mansion by evil spirits and the husband disappears! You have to find the husband but you can only do that by finding the gems to fight the ghost and do the hidden objects, puzzles, etc. It does get hard to find some of the items and put together some of the puzzles but that's what makes the game!

I am giving this 5 stars, because not only did I enjoy playing it, but to bring up the rating. It deserves more than two stars! This game does come with a challenge and it is different than most games on BF, but that is what makes it fun to play! I enjoyed venturing around the mansion to look for gems and items you will need to proceed in the game. There are HOP's and puzzles you put together. You can skip the puzzles and combating the ghosts before you enter each room. It will add to your game time, but it does not matter, because you can still finish the game. Using hints will add to your game time too. I am not much on how long it takes me to play a game. If you want to play something different and with a challenge then this game is for you! Show less

I recommend this game!

This is a pretty good HO game. It is not like the current HO games in that there is no lead in, no cutscenes, a very mild storyline, no characters, no music. It's like BAM!, let's get started.

The basic story is you are cleaning the house and area of ghosts. The HOs are challenging, the puzzles are all jigsaw but entertaining, and you battle lots of ghosts.

This is a pretty good HO game. It is not like the current HO games in that there is no lead in, no cutscenes, a very mild storyline, no characters, no music. It's like BAM!, let's get started.

The basic story is you are cleaning the house and area of ghosts. The HOs are challenging, the puzzles are all jigsaw but entertaining, and you battle lots of ghosts.

This is a timed game with penalties for using the hint button. I think the penalties very from 10 to 30 minutes depending on where they are used. You collect some rewards, but you collect them no matter what. There is a journal that can be a little helpful, but really is no necessary to the game.

As a semi-straight HO I have to admit I enjoyed the game, and finished in what was for me a little less than average time.

I would recommend this game as a relaxing, fun filler game. Show less

I recommend this game!

Based on the demo. The graphics are dark, even with my monitor set to the brightest level, but otherwise ok. The characters are campy, funny. The audio is very good. This game is almost entirely puzzle/hidden object. The hidden object scenes are so dark, it's hard to find some of the objects. The puzzles are very clear.

I played the demo for 15 minutes and just quit. The way the game is set up I found extremely irritating. It takes quite a lot that I'm confused and don't know what to do. Not even at the beginning I was quite sure how to exit the "introduction" to the game. I also found it extremely unnerving that in each scene you had the "feet" symbol, that showed you in which direction you can walk. And at every given moment you have name tags all over the screen, if you found something, you can look up something, what the object is etc. and "bang" new pop-up with another message; that really spoils the whole game. The cut-scenes were kind of ok but well, as you might have figured out by now .... this game I found simply terrible. Show less

I don't recommend this game.

Had to find gems to combat the ghosts and these were very hard to find...and you have to fight the ghosts to continue to other areas...if you can't find the gems you are kaput !!! Basically a very annoying game. No intr, just type your name and BOOM you're in front of a big mansion....a bit of back story is always nice, isn't it ? However it may suit someone else to a T....as always try before you buy .....Happy Christmas Fishes....and a great 2014 x Show less

Based on 15 minutes of the demo. First the good - and there isn't much: The jigsaw puzzle was FUN and had just enough challenge to make me happy.

The HO was horrible. No indication that the list of items extended beyond the visible screen and that is really unpleasant. I have this habit of using a hint for the last item in an HO. Did so with this and the item certainly didn't look like any kind of "bow" I'd ever seen. Imagine my surprise when the bow was still on the list. I scrolled around, but not apparently enough because the next time I couldn't find the bow, yet another unfamiliar item was removed and I still had to find the bow. Get the picture.

Not for me. But I gave it 2 stars for the jigsaw.

BTW, for those who complained about no back-story. I got the "lady of the house" on video at the very beginning. Several vids of her and the groundskeeper are entertaining, but don't save the game. Show less

I don't recommend this game.

Poorly designed game - should be taken off the market. The graphics are blurry in and out of the HOGs. Some of the background of the HOGs makes it difficult to see - such as finding little or skinny things against a background of ivy. No music or special effects adjustments - just toggle on or off. Two minutes for a hint recharge? Way too much times, especially if it adds minutes to your playing ...Show more

Some of the background of the HOGs makes it difficult to see - such as finding little or skinny things against a background of ivy. No music or special effects adjustments - just toggle on or off. Two minutes for a hint recharge? Way too much times, especially if it adds minutes to your playing time. No reason why you are at the mansion - journal doesn't say why. No cutscenes explaining why. Puzzles are repetitive. Even as a DD, it's $3 too much. Show less

I recommend this game!
