Great game. I liked this series since the beginning. New player but that is ok as Anna's father is back even though he didn't have a big part. Game was interesting with no large twist s in the story line.

Try the game as it is a good game and seems others like it also. Show less

I have to admit, I thought I'd miss James. Nope, didn't miss him at all. Loved the nod to him and Elf. The freshness to this install was wonderful. I'm glad I invested in this one!! It ticked all of the boxes for me. Generous game play, visually pleasing, and very interesting storyline. I will try to patiently wait for the next install. Well done, Elephant Games!

I recommend this game!

While the game is shorter than I would like, in my opinion, this is the best game Elephant Games has put out in a long time. An interesting story, good gameplay, etc.

This is a throw back to how good this series was and based on this game still is! Like the familiar characters, enjoy the storyline and is just all around a fun game. Not too hard so just relax and have some fun. Best game to come out in a while.
This is based on the demo, bought the game before I even finished the demo!

I recommend this game!

I love the Detectives United games. I only played the demo, and it looks great. It is very expensive, though, so I won't be buying it until there is a sale or something.

Nice to see Richard back though his appearances are few. We have been asking for his return so TY. A shift toward the older versions of this game with more "ghost" appearances would make this a 5 star series again.

Nice to see Richard back though his appearances are few. We have been asking for his return so TY. A shift toward the older versions of this game with more "ghost" appearances would make this a 5 star series again.

I enjoyed playing the game (demo) and didn't find any fault or problems with the game play. Other than the challenge level, I found all other categories of the game to be above average.

I love that the HO scenes are truly Hidden Object puzzles and even though I am not a fan of the mini games, most of these were quite fun.

I agree with others regarding the challenge in game play. Most of your found objects are used in the same scene which requires no thought process by the player and could make the game seem tedious or boring.

This HOPA game is better than the ones that have been released over the past year but it still isn't up to the standard of the older HOPA games. Sadly I think those excellent HOPAs of old are a thing of the past and today's HOPAs are what we are stuck with.

I recommend playing this game. But based on what other reviewers who played the entire game said about it not being CE worthy, too short, I would only recommend purchasing with club store points or with a good sale. Show less

I can't help but wonder why the remaining 3 HOPA developers haven't figured out yet why the genre is dying a slow death. Fans of this genre aren't tired of playing HOPAs...we're just tired of getting the same game with a different title.

I can't help but wonder why the remaining 3 HOPA developers haven't figured out yet why the genre is dying a slow death. Fans of this genre aren't tired of playing HOPAs...we're just tired of getting the same game with a different title.

Lately, I have been replaying some of my favorite series back-to-back, and I'm still delighted with the genre. Take Mystery Trackers, for example. The earlier games were phenomenal. They had great stories, challenging puzzles, old-school Hidden Object Scenes (the ones that were actually fun), tasks that weren't mundane, and most importantly, you had to roam from scene to scene trying to figure out what to do and where.

Today's HOPAs have forgotten to put the Adventure into the HOPA (Hidden Object Puzzle ADVENTURE!) Finding something and using that something in the same scene is not an adventure; it's just a mundane task that doesn't require critical thinking.

I can see the gears slowly turning in Elephant Games' mind. They ditched key characters in almost every series because it's easier than building and maintaining a specific character. They replaced characters such as Elf, Rick Rogers, and our beloved Richard. They tried to replace these staple characters with a new crew of agents fresh out of high school as if they were trying to appeal to a younger generation. I don't know who is giving Elephant Games advice, but these newer HOPAs don't appeal to most Gen Zers...but the older HOPAs would if they had updated graphics!

Obviously, Elephant Games is starting to see the light because they are finally bringing back these beloved characters. They have to be realizing that their older games had an "IT" factor, otherwise, they wouldn't be tying the plot into Detectives United! If Elephant Games were smart, they would replay their original games first, such as Mystery Trackers: Four Aces, and then go back to the drawing board to put the Adventure back into a HOPA. If their production budget is as low as it would seem (according to the content we now get) then start offering these games on the place that starts with S and ends with team and bump up the price a bit. The alternative isn't sustainable!

With that being said, I highly recommend giving this game a whirl if you are in the age bracket that actually remembers playing Mystery Trackers: Four Aces! I love the throwback story, I loved the return of Richard, and I really enjoyed some of the puzzles, especially the mechanical-type puzzles). My only complaint is that every inventory item is found & used in the same scene, again, that's not an adventure, it's just another mundane task that requires little to no skill!

Great graphics and voice overs. Good story...kind of. VERY short game and don't think it's worth CE price. Nice to see Richard was returned to the game. But taking out James was a massive mistake. Retiring a well-liked character before the actually picked up steam (three games??) wasn't a brilliant idea. James was the humor. Ewan doesn't fit. but that's just my opinion.

On the new haunted hotel they have his cousin....I'm wondering if the developers actually listen to their customers. Please stop changing what's not broken.
