A cute game to play with your young children or grandchildren. Artwork is similar to a cartoon of an extended family with parents, grandparents, 3 children and the family dog (Scruffy). The kids even squabble a bit and grandpa is a hoot.

A cute game to play with your young children or grandchildren. Artwork is similar to a cartoon of an extended family with parents, grandparents, 3 children and the family dog (Scruffy). The kids even squabble a bit and grandpa is a hoot.
SCRUFFY HELPS: You’re given a list of items to find and, if you get stuck, Scruffy is only too eager to help you. While in each room, you find a bone (highlighted as you cursor near it) for him. It costs a bone to get his help, but don’t use him unless necessary because, once you’re out of bones, you get no more help.
GAMEPLAY: There are 20 rooms and you begin by searching in only a couple, later expanding to 5 rooms per chapter. The objects to find in each room are not repeated, so you’re always looking for something new. Objects are nicely sized, so you won’t be pixel hunting unless you have a small screen from what others say.
GAME MODES: You can select timed and untimed mode. Untimed is actually timed, but you get a really generous 90 minutes in the latter half of the game to search 4 or 5 rooms (I think you started with 60 for 2 rooms at the beginning).
ANTIQUES EXTRA: After finding everything on the lists, you put together a picture, which will show an antique valuable, which you then must find in 2 or 3 rooms. Scruffy is not able to help in this part of the search, but the items are fairly easy to find and they all have a story attached.
SCRIBBLES: You will also find 20 photos scattered throughout the rooms (they will be on your list of objects) and you will play a game of “scribbles” after finding each one. In scribbles, the little boy will scribble on the photo, which you have to find. Find 15 scribbles and you get a gold star. Collect 20 gold stars, and the kids will show you a delightful little secret. And grandpa has a secret he’s been keeping all these years.
EASY TO PICK UP DAYS LATER: One of the nicest things about the game is that you can leave off anywhere and pick it up days or weeks later without skipping a beat, even if you are in the middle of one of the 15 chapters when you leave the game. So it’s perfect for when the grandkids come over every once in a while. Game took about 9 ½ hours and the characters delightfully entertaining, so it is certainly worth the money. Show less

This game has a very whimsical, childlike quality feel to it. It’s fun and presents a good level of challenge. I particularly like the mini games. The game sometimes got a little repetitive and some items are a bit small and hard to find, but over I would highly recommend it.

I enjoyed this game. It's not overly challenging, so it's a good one for beginner to intermediate. Advanced players may want more challenge. Sometimes though it's just fun to play something that is light hearted and humorous. I get tired of the dark, evil tales with menacing characters so this game was a welcome break.
I recommend this game!
