For originality, one of the best. Puzzles go from simple to very clever, and some were excellent brain teasers. Exciting story line and well organized from beginning to end. One of my best picks.

I recommend this game!

Loved it! Loved it! Loved it!.
Intriguing story and a good mixture of logic, mathematical, jigsaw and spot the difference puzzles (some easy/some hard).
Kept me enthralled for hours.
Make sure you take advantage of playing YoX whenever you can - the extra hint coins are needed.
Always look for coins in each scene (either a glint or use your torch/metal detector).

You will have to back track alot to find all the totem challenges in each chapter.
This is just a puzzle game so if you are looking for more you might find this game a bit boring. Show less

It's rare to find a game that is tailor-made for those of us who like puzzles. The only other one that comes to mind is Riddles of Egypt so if there are others, I hope to find them. There was only one puzzle, the one about the three brothers, which threw me completely, mainly because when the description says "he", I couldn't figure out whether that brother was talking about himself or about one ...Show more

It's rare to find a game that is tailor-made for those of us who like puzzles. The only other one that comes to mind is Riddles of Egypt so if there are others, I hope to find them. There was only one puzzle, the one about the three brothers, which threw me completely, mainly because when the description says "he", I couldn't figure out whether that brother was talking about himself or about one of his brothers. Even with all 3 hints, it still didn't make sense. Most of the others are readily solvable without hints. A few are trick questions but most are straight logic and just require some thought.

It's a shame when players who don't like puzzles or who are looking for a HOG try a game such as this and then give it a bad review. In my opinion, this is an excellent game and I hope to see more like it. Show less

This game is absolutely fantastic for those of you who love the puzzles and mini games aspect of HOGS..this is not a HOG game, as stated by many, and the puzzles are very fun and varied! Theres a combination of math puzzles, riddles, spot the different, piece together the wire, etc. I could NOT stop playing and I have played through twice now, even knowing the answers! Absolutely worth the time ...Show more

I have been searching the Adventure list and using the free demos to try and find something just like this. Great story with interesting characters and no giveaways to the ending - it was a nice change. Only a few "hunt for pieces" type - not at all a HOG - which dominate the Adventure category for some reason.

I have been searching the Adventure list and using the free demos to try and find something just like this. Great story with interesting characters and no giveaways to the ending - it was a nice change. Only a few "hunt for pieces" type - not at all a HOG - which dominate the Adventure category for some reason. The puzzles were challenging to the extream somewhat at times - I did have to resort to the Walk-though on the forum for one of the puzzles - still have no clue why that answer was correct- but it got me through that sticking point so I am grateful to whoever worked it all out. There is a game tracker that shows you how long you played and It is easy to pause or exit. So you can play a little at a time. I was hoping for a sequel. I hope Eden gets to go on more adventures soon! Show less

This has to be one of the three or four cleverest games on Big Fish. If you are a HOG fan, though, you probably want to skip it. It's all math, logic, and non-linear puzzles with some sliding and jigsaw thrown in for good measure.

My rating is 4 stars because it was WAY too short for a serious puzzle lover (and most of the puzzles are on the easy side--hints will rarely be needed). That being ...Show more

I liked the variety and challenge of puzzles in this game - not at all repetitive, although there was a small amount of backtracking to "follow the trail". Would go back and play this one again.

I've always wondered if there was a game that offered a ton of mini games and puzzles as the main theme, and tah dah! Eden Hunt has been invited to a scavenger hunt by an unknown person, the prize is $10,000,000, so naturally she cannot refuse. Once on the island, you must solve a series of riddles, puzzles and games. Totems with Orange eyes requires you to complete a brainteaser starting out at 50 coins, every wrong answer causes the prize amount to spiral downward. The questions are tough, mathematical questions such as, if a boat traveling 9 miles at 9 miles per hour, and a macaw is zig zagging the boat at 34 MPH, how many miles is the macaw traveling. Totems with Red eyes require a challenge such as using flashlights to light every square on a grid. To open portals you will have to solve a game which is a variation of "Blocks" that get increasingly harder with every portal. This is a great game if you are looking to challenge your brain, enjoy!
