It's refreshing to see something of the Pacific Northwest. It is very beautiful and has lots of interesting sites and history, but our HO games always overlook this region. BoomZap is doing it justice and the fun facts are great.
Graphics are super sharp, colors bright and perfect. The scenes are full of everything you would expect and lots you would not. Each location provides a list of items, some interactive, there is a variety of list styles. Find the key in each scene to unlock a fun fact. The items are well hidden/blended, even those in plain view were sometimes overlooked. I played all the difficulty modes and found even the easy mode to be a good challenge, custom mode not so great because of longer recharge times, the others were typical. Had to use hint too often, irritating.
It was hard to hold on to and place the pieces of some items, i.e. bring yarn to cat, place bird in cage. Could have worked smoother. Items are generally small and mixed in with so many others that you can't hurry your search. The challenge is very good. Some items are in areas that are quite dark, also. The magnifier and zoom feature will be used quite often. Loved the mini games, especially liked the eagle jigsaw and they can be skipped if you wish.
The game plays like the others from BoomZap. Plenty of levels but I thought the CE was a little short on extra content. Still, I enjoyed the demo very much and will purchase with today's sale. I especially appreciate this dev, always deliver quality games. They did a great job concealing the HOs and the challenge is what makes it so much fun for me. Show less
I recommend this game!

After Finding America: The Heartland I honestly didn't think this series could get any better. I stand corrected! I love the wealth of history and information given with each scene. I love the game visually, it is pleasing to seek out the objects and the morphing objects make it challenging to say the least. I absolutely love the music!

I don't think one can have enough relaxing games these days. So even though it follows a familiar formula, it's interesting and beautiful, and a "buy" for me.

Based on the demo, this isn't as enjoyable as other HO games. The scenes weren't attractive and many items were too difficult to find. Instructions were poor and music so repetitive that I had to mute it.

Based on the demo, this isn't as enjoyable as other HO games. The scenes weren't attractive and many items were too difficult to find. Instructions were poor and music so repetitive that I had to mute it.
You can choose the difficulty and in Custom mode, you can click on edit to adjust the second timer to a minimum of 5 seconds. To begin the game you click on "Campaign". In each scene that you will play 5 times, you will find a key for a fun fact and a star to unlock unlimited mode play for that particular scene. After each time you play a scene, it will indicate how many keys and stars you have found.
There is a magnifier and you can also use the scroll on your mouse to zoom in and out. I found this very helpful as items are often way too hard to find which is why I gave this 3 stars. It is a chore more than a pleasure to be staring endlessly at a scene to find items.
It isn't the worst, but surely could have been better. I will be purchasing the game when a better sale is available. Show less

The game mechanics have improved, and the objects are blended better than they were in the first game. The Stars & Keys, in particular, were way less obvious; they are supposed to be an extra challenge, so I believe this was a smart move on BoomZap's part. I loved the outdoor nature scenes, but those were far & few between; the rest were very unappealing. However, I do recommend the music...for ...Show more

The Stars & Keys, in particular, were way less obvious; they are supposed to be an extra challenge, so I believe this was a smart move on BoomZap's part. I loved the outdoor nature scenes, but those were far & few between; the rest were very unappealing. However, I do recommend the music...for those who are having trouble falling asleep.
There are four modes of difficulty, Easy-Medium-Hard, and Custom, which allow you to set the Hint & Super Hint Recharge from 5-60 seconds, enable/disable misclick penalty, as well as locking mini-game pieces. There are several HO modes available: Standard Listed Items mode, Picture mode, Silhouetted Shapes mode, Missing Vowels mode, Riddles mode, and scenes where you have to find items that seem out of place.

Each Hidden Object Scene has a Hidden Key that unlocks a Fun Fact. You can replay levels to get a new fun fact if desired (5 keys/fun facts per location). Each scene also has a collectible Star that will unlock that same scene in the Unlimited Play mode. There are Morphing Objects and two objects per scene that require a task of some sort, such as "catching the butterfly," and some scenes have a zoom zone available.

A mini-game is unlocked after playing three Hidden Object Scenes. There are several shaped puzzles requiring you to drag fragments in place, word searches, and art coloring games.

COLLECTOR'S EDITION EXTRAS:
40 Hidden Object Levels & 14 Collector's Edition Bonus Levels (in the Campaign tab), 13 Achievements, 15 Wallpapers, 11 Soundtracks, 50 Re-playable Mini-games (in the Subgame Journal tab), a Fun Fact Diary (fun facts unlock as you find hidden Keys), an Unlimited Play Mode (each HO scene becomes available as you find hidden Stars)

Yes, I used to love these games! Especially the Unlimited seek and find. But... they have made so many changes, just to make them different I guess. Surely can't be to make them more fun as they don't! I don't want the fancy potatoes with spices up the wazoo I just want plain mashed! YUM! Please tell them, don't change what people like for mediocrity.
