Haunted Hotel Room 18 is probably one of my favorite Halloween games of the season. Actually, it is probably one of my favorite games in the Haunted Hotel series. There is so much to like in this game, starting with an excellent storyline. The graphics are excellent, showcasing the versatility of this developer. I remember when the first Haunted Hotel games were released, and this game reminds me ...Show more

Okay, so at least for me the gameplay seemed rather easy at times and perhaps a bit predictable but nevertheless, I found Room 18 to be such a wonderful game for a cold, stormy day and so enjoyable. Another surprise is that I absolutely enjoyed every puzzle in the game. There was a new puzzle, or at least one that I don’t recall seeing in the past, and I loved fiddling around to move those keys into the correct position. There was also another puzzle that I’ve not seen in ages that is a different spin on the unblock me type. For someone who doesn’t particularly enjoy too many puzzles in HOPA games, I found those in Room 18 to very entertaining.

The HOS were fun and included various styles but were predominately the list type that I love. The only style of HOS I truly dislike is the one where we need to find matching pairs of items hidden behind other objects in the scene. There were several of the storybook type scenes and I did find some of the required items difficult to locate. Overall, the HOS were very good and as much fun as the puzzles.

The spooky atmosphere added to the creepiness of the game and at times I felt like I was going to jump out of my chair. I love a game that has this sort of feel to it and that the unexpected did happen. Although some of the gameplay was predictable and found items were used right away, at other times some items remained in my inventory until later. There did seem to be a bit of back and forth and the map did help when I wasn’t sure where to get back to the place where I knew that an item should be used. In the end, I think this is a wonderful game that is suitable for teens as well as adults.

Since I had played the beta for the game, it was one that I knew I would purchase as soon as it was released, and I did. Even though I think that Haunted Hotel Room 18 is one of the best games that was released this fall, as always, please try the demo to see if it is one you will enjoy as well. Happy gaming!

I recommend this game!

Completed Game approximately 4 Hours
(including completion of all puzzles & CE Bonus Chapter)
*18 Scene Locations +7 CE Bonus Chapter*
Difficulty Range: Intermediate

The Blackthorn Brothers aren't the sharpest tools in the Haunted Hotel Shed. After receiving their Family Reunion Invitation, they head to the Sweet 18 Hotel long before any other family member arrives. They don't seem to notice the dreadful condition of this establishment, nor do they put two and two together to draw a haunted hotel conclusion until it's too late. The concierge hands them a key to a very special room, Room 18. The boys soon find out that Room 18 has roots that intertwine deeply into their family's past, discovering how and why is the easy part, escaping Room 18 is a whole different ballgame!

What a perfect game for Halloween! The graphics are creepy, the sounds are haunting, and they remind me of the perfection this developer insisted on back in the day. I LOVED the Keyhole Hint graphics, well done! Okay, so the Morphing Objects are the Elephant in the room, literally, they are the size of a baby Elephant, but I am so happy to see that these guys are slowly returning to their roots. They are abandoning the "Emblem" for every single door, window, box, cabinet, and drawer scenario, they have returned to their original graphics style that was superior to all other developers back in the day. They lost sight of what made them special, honestly, they got lazy because we allowed them to be lazy by not noticing or complaining once we did notice. Room 18 isn't perfect but they are obviously trying to improve, and I will show my appreciation by giving them 5-Stars for the first time in a long time!

Hidden Object Scenes:
There are 10 main Hidden Object Scenes and 4 smaller Zoom Zone HOP's +6 in the CE Bonus Chapter. They are mostly Interactive Listed Item Finds and Silhouetted Shape Finds but there are also Symbol Finds, Multiples of the same Object Finds Keyword Interactions Finds, Uncovering Pairs, and Finding 2 Related Combo Items that match the Listed Words (_+_= Mermaid) There are no alternate puzzles offered.

Mini-Games:
There are 21 Mini-Games +6 in the CE Bonus Chapter. Although they are decent puzzles, they do tend to be fairly easy to solve, and there are several "clicking one may affect others" which are my personal nemesis. Below are a few of my personal favorites during the game:

1-Drag the frame over a tile & press directional arrows to align paths to allow energy to flow.
2-Move blocks horizontally or vertically to clear a path for the key.
3-Rotate groups of bottles until the colored corks match the pattern shown.
4-Press the 'jump" button on an arcade to avoid moving rows of skeletons, pumpkins, and ghosts, then jump on logs to the exit.
5-Drag clock weights that move the clock hands in different increments to set each time shown.
6-Remove all blocks by dragging and droppping them to matching colored blocks.

Bonus Chapter:
Uncle Samuel insists on returning to Sweet 18 to rescue Caroline who he claims has been begging for his help in recurring nightly dreams, so it's back to the Haunted Hotel for some more ghostbusting work. This is an average-length chapter that takes place over 7 Scene Locations with 6 Hidden Object Scenes and 6 Mini-Games. You will continue to search for 7 Morphing Objects, 4 Morphing Character Statues, and 5 Puzzle Fragments to complete the final Bonus Scene Image as well.

Collector's Edition Extra's:
10 Wallpapers, 10 Concept Art Pictures, 5 Music Soundtracks, 18 Achievements, 13 Replayable Hidden Object Scenes, 14 Replayable Mini-Games, Secret Room, 14 Morphing Character Statues, 26 Morphing Objects (25??), 20 Puzzle Pieces (to complete 4 Scene Images) 3 Main Chapters +Bonus Chapter and a Built-In Strategy Guide.

This game is okay compared to others that just seem downright childish or super easy. I played it on the hardest level. I’m not sure that was a good idea because, despite the potential of the story line and a fairly large variety of HOS and puzzles, on this level the game seemed to sometimes drag along and could be frustrating rather than challenging. Often the most difficult part was trying to figure out what to do with inventory items, which is not my favourite type of game play. Why couldn’t an ice knife (eventually used on something that wasn’t ice!) be used to get the object stuck in the window out? Also, at times the game lacked logic; for example, there are two pairs of scissors stuck in the mannequin but you have to find something else to cut her dress ruffle off. What is a potato peeler doing in the washroom? There is a large amount of obscure find this to do that or find this to open that which can make any game seem mundane. I did finish it and enjoyed some of the puzzles, especially the move the key up puzzle and the very last get rid of the blocks puzzle (which could have been made MUCH more difficult), but, overall, it wasn’t one of those games I could hardly wait to get back to. As mentioned earlier, playing on the hardest level is not a good idea - play it on an easier level because the hints/comments are needed to make the game flow along. I’d give the game a 3.5, but have to opt for 3. Show less

I recommend this game!
