For a new Hidden Object/Brain Teaser try todays new BigFish Release Curse of the Pharaoh: The Quest for Nefertiti

It's a great little combination of puzzles, hidden objects and mini games.

Happy Gaming!

Anyone have a clue how long this game is? I've got 23 minutes left on my demo and already have 3 places on the map finished.

I'm really enjoying it though.

Not sure jldcat. I'm waiting for Gamezebo's review to determine length before I purchase. There is one comment here that says that the game is short. It is a lot of fun though!

I purchased it and am having fun, but am stuck on a puzzle. It is a nice little game with clear graphics, and an interesting story line.

Enjoy!

I like the game but found it a bit too easy, even playing the hard mode. Also, if you don't pick out something right away the game let's you know where the difference is, much to my disappointment, because you know where the differences are before you even have a chance to get to them. You see a sparkle somewhere, and you know that's where to go.

It's probably a short game if you are quick at picking out the differences and placing the artifacts in the final rooms.

I checked out the files in the game, and it seems there are 5 flights, and each flight has a number of worlds. I'm at world 12 I think, and I have only gone on 3 flights, so there's a bit to go yet.

All in all, it's worth the 6.99 we pay for it.

Just to let everyone know that the game is pretty short, just under 2 hours in hard mode. There are only 9 worlds total, each world has 4-6 scenes.

I do have to say that I enjoyed the game but I agree with Flo NS that it takes away from the game when lights start flashing indicating where an item is. The game is already short, it could have been made longer if they would let you figure out things totally on your own. I think the game had potential, the graphics were wonderful and it was nice while it lasted. Maybe the developers could make the sequel a bit longer and not as easy. I also wished that there could have been a way to make the "Store" icon stop flashing in the corner, I found it very distracting.

Margie, I agree. I find the store icon annoying. Let's hope if there is a sequel, that is something they fix.

I was thinking maybe it was world 9 instead of 12 that I was at. So, I must be at the end stage. So much for the five flights thing.

Oh well, it was fun while it lasted.

I've been playing a bit at a time, so I got it to streach out some anyway.

BTW you can use all your coins, there's plenty, to buy the mini games in the store, and if you real bored, you can wack a wipi for some giggles.

I played the demo and decided to pass. Too much find the differences. Easier than others, but still too much.
Interesting concept, but not for me.

I also finished the demo and decided to pass for the same reasons as karmyn. I do like doing the occasional spot the difference in other games but for a full game, I need a bit more of a challenge. It's too bad though because the story and concept were very good.

I played the demo for a few minutes, and it hung up. Had to restart my PC to get rid of it. Tried it again and the same thing happened.

Teddo sorry the game hung up your puter. Did you email Big Fish just so they know there is a problem?

I agree with you all. I don't even like "spot the differences."

Well I downloaded it, went to play it and the window opened up half off my screen... I couldn't even click to close it I had to use the task manager. Now what in the world? I've never had that happen. I better write to BF techs.

I have been playing this game in 'hard mode'. However, what has spoiled it for me is the 'flashing hint' which appears within a very short time. This is one that I will not be buying for simply that reason! wave

Hmm, an easy, short game, sounds about right for me even if I don't like Egyptian themes very much. Think I will check this one out.


To love is to be happy with!

It worked just fine for me Patricia. Uninstall and try to install it again if you want to play it, maybe you got a bad installation.
If you have further problems and really want to play it...........BFG tech services might have an answer for you.

Hey guys! Thanks for all the comments on this game. The info that was sent out and the details on BFG made it sound like it would be a great game. I'm not a member so paying 19.99 for a 'short' game that gives the player nudges so quickly isn't what I'm looking for. shocked

I'll wait for something more interesting thanks wave

I agree about the flashing light to show you where the item is located. Why get any hints when you don't really need them.

I guess I played to the end of the game. I get a fairly black Nefertiti inset, but there is nothing to put there. I don't know why it shows a "lock" symbol if there is nothing to do there.

Not a bad game though.

Hi Tammy,

Did you really finish, did you get to the finale with the brother and sister?

If there is a lock symbol, there has to be something to put there, and that is not the last scene you should see.
