I have a confession to make, I never read The Great Gatsby, but after this game I just might! Admittedly this game doesn't have great graphics and it does have a few glitches, BUT, the story is captivating and there are several mini games with out of the box thinking.

I have a confession to make, I never read The Great Gatsby, but after this game I just might! Admittedly this game doesn't have great graphics and it does have a few glitches, BUT, the story is captivating and there are several mini games with out of the box thinking. Turns out that I changed professions, I'm an architect assigned to restore Gatsby's Mansion, but my detective skills come in handy when my best friend Amy is kidnapped by a ghost (no, not of Christmas Past) of Gatsby's past! The HOS tend to be on the hard side because they are on the dark side and items are somewhat small. The mini games are where the out of the box thinking come into play. One I thought was kind of cool was trying to figure out which waiter has a chess piece after several zoom around the room. You can see what the past was like when the pocket watch opens, you will see the room transform from ruins to riches in seconds. The map shows you where actions are available but does not transport you there. I am going to use a credit just to find out the whole story, enjoy! Show less

I recommend this game!

Great fun(Judged from Free-to play 1hr)!
Playing the extra couple side tasks applied here & there was great.
Good Map - but still had to walk the walk to get to the next work place(No Jumping short cuts)
Good help if stuck.
Good story line and conversations through-out this adventure and I'm looking forward to finishing this one now that I've purchased it!

I recommend this game!

Fantastic aftermath spin from "The Great Gatsby," one of my favorites--a Roaring Twenties story, redone in game form with interesting twists and turns.

Although game is a bit slower than some of our latest razzle dazzle CE collections, I was impressed with the interesting story line and gameplay extras--Diary that shows Materials and Objects; a Token which reveals the splendor of times past and car keys for location travel. Awesome! Also some clever mini-games and time-appropriate hidden object scenes spice up gameplay.

All in all, a well done spinoff to the late, great American Author F. Scott Fitzgerald's Classic tale, "The Great Gatsby".
A definite buy for this BFG game lover!
Enjoy! -Mama Mia- Show less

I loved everything about this game. GREAT graphics and story line. This game was so clear and fresh. I was able to sit down after a long day of work and just "enjoy" playing. It was also creepy in some scenes when something you werent expecting happens. Great job!

I recommend this game!

Liked this game so much. The Art Deco furniture and designs in all the rooms, including the ruined mansion, were beautiful. There were clever and different types of puzzles and the HOS were not as boring as other games. I read a lot and love the classics but found this game to be better than the original book! Looking forward to future games by this developer.

I recommend this game!

I've played many hidden object games and thought I've had enough.. but this game is a bit different - HAS a storyline, is NOT ONLY hidden objects - there is more. Not only hidden places, which you have to find to see more hidden objects ;) There are some puzzles, things to find out. It is just something more than just hidden object easy game.

Not only hidden places, which you have to find to see more hidden objects ;) There are some puzzles, things to find out. It is just something more than just hidden object easy game. I love the story, also added Gatsby-time scenes - so you may feel like being a part of that times. And IMO the graphics is very nice and makes the game worth playing. Show less

I actually enjoyed this game and I was not too sure I would. It is a little "low tech" than some of the other games out there but I think that is what I liked. It turned out to be a detective story surrounding the Great Gatsby. Reminded me of a film noir. I wish the map was interactive but other than that it was quite a little find and I am glad I discovered this game.

I recommend this game!

The ins and outs of finding the treasure will keep your interest if you have an inkling of being a detective solving an old case. I won't give any hints out and if you're truly interested you will want to solve this case on your own. I don't usually rate a game when I completed one but this one is well worth the money in my opinion.

I recommend this game!

SUMMARY: Lovely color palettes for a decayed mansion and old machinery; see the splendor flashbacks to Gatsby's days; pleasant voice overs need passion; and very well-done challenging HOS.

Nice game, but it sometimes takes awhile for the frames to load, which can be frustrating, to lowered the rating. Good color palette - shows the destruction and decay of the Gatsby mansion without being overly drab and dreary (and it isn't dark - YEAH!) - even at night. Other developers might want to take notice.

HOS were uncrowded but items were cleverly hidden - the good kind of HOS challenge. Objects were not too small. Not too many puzzles. You "drive" to new locations and keys appear when it's time to go somewhere else - you even hear the car.

Voice overs are pleasant sounding, but the woman's voice is not always appropriate. When her roomie is taken hostage, her voice doesn't sound upset or surprised. It's in the same pleasant voice, as though she's reading a story without any passion. Took off a star because it doesn't put you "in the scene." Live that you can see her imagination with a special tool as she looks at something and "sees" what it must have been like in Gatsby's days as she renovates the mansion. Show less

I recommend this game!
