I really enjoyed this HOG. I found it to be fun. The HO scenes were light and bright and relatively easy to solve. Almost all of the objects to find were easily visible, confused with lots of ‘other’ objects but easy enough, a few were so well blended in that they appeared to be more background and took a bit more time to find. I killed the sounds in the first minute because they were annoying, ...Show more

I really enjoyed this HOG. I found it to be fun. The HO scenes were light and bright and relatively easy to solve. Almost all of the objects to find were easily visible, confused with lots of ‘other’ objects but easy enough, a few were so well blended in that they appeared to be more background and took a bit more time to find. I killed the sounds in the first minute because they were annoying, but the game was fine in silent mode. Hints can be purchased by finding the crowns in each scene, but after each act they are reset to 10. I never used more than 2 in an act. When I used a hint, I used the silhouette either to distinguish an animal from an object when looking for a ‘bat’, or to tell the size and direction in which the object is oriented. The puzzles could use just a bit of a hint now and then. At least tell us why we are doing something. Show less

I recommend this game!

Wow! Buckingham place. What a beautiful place. This is the first game I played in this series although I am not finished with the game yet. The setting is beautiful and the puzzles are a bit of a challange but not too hard. The music is soothing too. The ho's were not too hard to find though. They were pretty easy, for me anyway.

I really like these old school HOGs without all the "going back and forth" of the newer games. Relaxed mode is perfect when you just want to take it easy and have some fun.

I recommend this game!

Hidden Mysteries: Buckingham Palace is much better than the Civil War game. More interaction and objects much easier to find.

I enjoyed this game, but the thing that makes it unique is following a mysterious letters to find a historical treasure. The puzzles were a nice mix of easier and challenging. The final puzzle was a hum dinger, trying to place 17 colorful objects in a box without the same colors touching each other.

The final puzzle was a hum dinger, trying to place 17 colorful objects in a box without the same colors touching each other.
The views of the interior of Buckingham palace were lovely; I've never been so I don't know how accurate they are. Of course when you throw a whole bunch of random objects on top of the scene it loses some of it's grandeur;) Still, all in all a great way to learn a bit about history and have fun.
I very much recommend this game. Show less

The graphics are fantastic for the hidden object scenes. And, there are hidden crowns in each scene to earn additional hints. I really like that options for hints are given, for different cost. You can get just the silhouette (1 hint credit), what it looks like, or its exact location (5 hint credits). The puzzles are challenging, but not impossible. The first one took me forever, but figuring it ...Show more

This game was fun to play, not extremely challenging but fun anyway and having the objects small added a bit of a challenge. The issue with this game is the ending, its not exciting, interesting or much of an ending at all, and thats what stinks about this game, otherwise it is good.

I recommend this game!

This game wasn't too challenging, but it did have an interesting plot. You are thrown into a mystery upon discovering a mysterious letter with the writer leaving clues all over the Palace. Mainly a hidden object game with some scene interaction, this game does keep you wanting to play. I can't really say I didn't like anything.

I recommend this game!
