Puzzles are generally of the “use the right item in the right way” variety, although the final puzzle might take a little more brainpower. Mata Hari is not a hard game, helped by the ability to reveal all hotspots, and wrong conversation choices are easily rectified by simply doing it again. There is some hit-and-miss in some of those choices, most usually when Mata is trying to seduce someone, but these are fairly limited in nature. There is one maze-like game, but a little thinking will reveal an easy way through. The creeping game is too much an exercise in randomly trying where to go next to be interesting or challenging. The game is a mixed bag puzzle ways, but the ups outweigh the downs, and it suits a range of adventure experiences.
