Highly recommended if you love challenging puzzles!

Gameplay is extremely straightforward, consisting solely of progressing through a large estate house finding a few clues, solving puzzles and cracking safes.

As simple as the game is in execution it makes up for in the many varied puzzles placed in your way. Some are quite simple and require just a minute or two of thought, while others are mindbendingly complex that may stump you for hours. The amazing thing is that they are never cheap, there is always a logical solution - if you can figure it out!

The Visual/Sound Quality is pretty good, the house itself is a bit barren but nicely rendered, and the narrator has a pleasing voice that never gets on your nerves. The music is unobtrusive and fitting. Sound effects are great...you'll come to love the mellow 'Ding' sound that arrives when you hit upon the solution to a particular puzzle.

The story is as bare-bones as it gets, but that's not what this game is about, anyway.

It's about the puzzles.

And they do not disappoint! Show less

I recommend this game!

This has got to be my favorite game! It is probably the most difficult game I have ever played - well, tried to play. You see, I bought this game 2 years ago and still haven't finished it! The puzzles are that good. Graphics are beautiful, clean and concise, and the storyline is logical. You need to be aware that a hint to your puzzle may be in the same room, or in a different area of the house.

I don't normally look at walkthroughs to help with a game, I just tough it out. But I might have to break that rule (for a teeny hint!) to help with the puzzle I'm stuck on.
Puzzles are really varied..no two are alike.

Great game. Show less

Here is a great strategy game. You are at this man's huge estate and everything is locked. You have to find keys, codes, solve puzzles, and explore his house. It's pretty challenging and still has great graphics, even in comparison to what's come out recently! I love the Adventure Company.

I have a high IQ and this is my favorite game so far. I liked the graphics and found it challenging to solve so many different kinds of puzzles. One puzzle I worked on for hours before solving it, not realizing that there was a hint later in the game.

I recommend this game!

Pure adventure, no hidden objects, no hints, no help…..you’re on your own. Do not expect clues or hints as to what to do next, there is none of that here.

Pure adventure, no hidden objects, no hints, no help…..you’re on your own. Do not expect clues or hints as to what to do next, there is none of that here.

You are turned loose in a mansion (quite beautiful) to open safes (hence “safe cracker”). You are looking for a will of a missing/deceased millionaire. Along the way you find letters that provide you background information regarding him and his family. In the end you will (hopefully) find his will and it has no designated beneficiary….what are you to do?

BFG does not have a walkthrough as of this posting (I looked!)…there are the forums for hints, or you can look on the internet for free walkthroughs (they are in abundance). Okay, I admit, I got stuck reallllllly bad at one point and needed help, after that I was on my way. You will go through spurts of struggling, then you unlock one and it rolls through another and that rolls, until you get stuck again. It is very enjoyable for those that like this type of game, and it is also frustrating. Adventure games are known to be lengthy, as you have to use your brain and not be led by the hand. There is a clock at the end of this that gives you your time; mine was 7 hours and 11 minutes.

The music is background and pleasant, the man’s voice (your player) is calm and enjoyable (I like the way he reads), and he has a sense of humor.

There are no instructions, but I found by right clicking my mouse it would bring up my inventory, from there you can access your map which shows what safes you have and have not opened. You can also save your game from here. You MUST manually save your game yourself EVERYTIME you exit the game.

It is enjoyable, albeit very frustrating….but you get a great sense of satisfaction knowing you did something without being told how or what to do. Show less

I recommend this game!

This is one of the best large file type adventure games available from BFG. It really should have a demo version since a lot of people might overlook it because they can't try it before buying.

This is one of the best large file type adventure games available from BFG. It really should have a demo version since a lot of people might overlook it because they can't try it before buying. Despite this, I was blown away by this game. I usually don't like relaxed, puzzle heavy games such as this, but this one really held my attention. The graphics while not exactly photo realistic, are definitely a cut above, and the game engine works extremely well. There is some exploration, item gathering, and story advancement aspects to the game, but the majority of the gameplay occurs within puzzle solving. The soundtrack is quite good as it suits the mood of the game perfectly. The only criticism I'd give to that is the fact that the music repeats a bit too frequently for my liking. The game is quite lengthy so it is well worth a purchase. People who love puzzle solving and don't mind a challenge (the game is reasonable difficult once you've advanced through the first through puzzles) that might keep their attention for some time will love this game. Stay away if you don't like relaxed, slow paced, intellect challenging puzzles. Highly recommended. Show less

I recommend this game!

If you like stimulating puzzles of a wide variety, then you have to check this game out. My favorite part of any of the bigfish games are the puzzles. But I usually have to wonder around and kill time before finding another one. Not in this game. With this game, you solve one after another. Love it!

I bought this yesterday after reading the reviews about it and found myself thinking: "Na!!! Can't be as hard as they say!" How wrong I was. The puzzles are seriously tough, so do believe what all the other reviewers say. And not only that, but you have to crack one safe after the other.

I bought this yesterday after reading the reviews about it and found myself thinking: "Na!!! Can't be as hard as they say!" How wrong I was. The puzzles are seriously tough, so do believe what all the other reviewers say. And not only that, but you have to crack one safe after the other. I started playing yesterday evening and so far only managed to open two safes.

The solutions are logical and really stimulate the brain to the point of pain. The game doesn't have a skip feature or hint button. You can gather some information by reading some letters that you can find and sometimes the character gives you tip. Like in my second puzzle he said: "The only hole reachable seems to be the one on the right". At least that made me aware that I was on the right track, but knowing it and doing it are two different things in this game. Somebody mentioned in a review to observe how some of the puzzles react and I can also recommend to do that.

The mansion is interesting, graphics are clear. The storyline is very brief, but you have enough on your plate with the puzzles so you won't miss it. There is a map which highlights all areas of interest (red x for something that still needs doing, green x for something that is done) and a chip with a dollar sign tells you your location. The music gives a good atmosphere and the voice of the character is so nice that I wish he'd talk a bit more.

For me the game is great value for money, because I love solving puzzles and I have the feeling that this game may keep me busy for years :-)

If you are after a serious brain teaser and don't get frustrated easily then this is game is for you. Great fun if you find a puzzle partner to work the solutions out, btw. Show less

I recommend this game!
