Sure ... it is old by today's standard but it was interesting, good puzzles, not too demanding, you could quickly click through the all-too-long dialogues, but in saying that, did give you a sense of what your goal was and hey, even in today's gameplay world, there is plenty of dialogue only offered differently ... we still all too often have to either "sit" through or "skip" any and all ...Show more

Sure ... it is old by today's standard but it was interesting, good puzzles, not too demanding, you could quickly click through the all-too-long dialogues, but in saying that, did give you a sense of what your goal was and hey, even in today's gameplay world, there is plenty of dialogue only offered differently ... we still all too often have to either "sit" through or "skip" any and all dialogues!

I usually dislike HOP's, seeing it as an easy way for DEV's to "get out of finding a way to produce the item we need"!! However, the HO moments in this game were interesting, different and quite fun! Easy at first, but hard to find that last item!

I found the puzzles enjoyable, some quite challenging such as putting the map together, were logical and made sense so ultimately, solvable, with some time and patience. The game has quite a good hint system but beware, some items need to be "exactly" placed or used! Moments like those were frustrating!

So, sure it is old, not up to today's standard but worth a coupon, worth trying and if you like lots of puzzles, interesting HO moments, then this is a great game! I usually only buy CE games, my standards are high, but I ended up really enjoying this game and glad I tried it!

Well worth seeing what you think! And persevere .... initial judgement .... for me too ... was an "oh dear" moment, but as I said, glad I continued to try it out! Did give me hours of enjoyment and quite unexpected from this calibre of game! Show less

The story in the introduction already shows that it is a game for children.
Graphics are well done and cute. Voice over is pleasant.
BUT...
Long... long... long dialogues between child and grandmother about a missing girl. And no skip button (but If you click go faster).
The chapters are very short and each scene has only one or two things to do, like find only one object and play 1 mini game. ...Show more

The same happens in the mini games ... silly and easy.
Between the chapters, long dialogues again.
Could not play more than 15 mnutos. Too boring.

Recommend for children. Show less

This game has 18 chapters. I played the demo for 20 minutes and completed 4 chapters. I enjoy games that are relaxing, but this one is mindnumbingly (if that's a word) boring.

It is not a hidden objects (plural) game. It is a hidden object (singular) game. Find a business card holder and move on to the next scene. Find a photo album and move on.

As the other reviewer stated, no skips on ...Show more

As the other reviewer stated, no skips on dialogue, which is long and tedious. But you can click on the dialogue box to move it along.

The story line is, well, stupid. Half of it focuses on a missing girl, the other half on a grandmother's birthday party.

The graphics are good and bright. The hint button, though barely needed, does recharge quickly.

I can't recommend this even on sale -- well, maybe for a child. Show less

I don't recommend this game.

I couldn't even make it through the demo, it's that bad. The graphics are as basic as it gets, the voiceovers are horrible, when grandma speaks her lips move up and down so fast it looks like she's a puppet! The story is about a girl who visits her grandma who used to be a top notched investigator, but now is a bit absent minded.

I couldn't even make it through the demo, it's that bad. The graphics are as basic as it gets, the voiceovers are horrible, when grandma speaks her lips move up and down so fast it looks like she's a puppet! The story is about a girl who visits her grandma who used to be a top notched investigator, but now is a bit absent minded. There has been a kidnapping and the granddaughter has a dream about this girl, in her dreams she sleuths crime scenes and finds out pertinent information about the girl who has been kidnapped. There's no explanation as to how she got these super sleuthing abilities in her dreams. The tasks are repetitive and boring, every scene requires you to find a few items in a room by clicking on everything that sparkles as your mouse hovers over an available item that can be moved or opened to expose meaningless items. There are mini games such as repeating the sequence on a toy piano. A definite no for me, and the first single star rating I have ever given! Show less

I don't recommend this game.
