Quote:
Top New York journalist Michelle Deanfield is finally taking a much needed Caribbean vacation. Join her on the white sands amidst the magic of the Mayan culture, steeped in legend and divinity. Not to mention, a good-looking diving instructor in her view. Everything is rosy for Michelle, that is, until the curse strikes and a museum casket goes missing. The natives claim it`s a curse from old spirits, but Michelle sets out to prove otherwise in this Hidden Object game. Will she uncover a network of lies in Mystery Stories: Island of Hope?

Exotic Hidden Object game
Wonderful bonus levels
Solve the island scandal


Happy Gaming

I think I'm almost finished. Not a short game and well worth purchasing. Just enough variety to keep you interested and some new ways to find objects.

wave Hello, all!

This game looks interesting. Is this a game that, once you've played it through, there is no real attraction to play it again or do the hidden objects change when you replay the game?


Woohoo and booyah! smile Have an easy peasy day!

I think the fact that it has so many levels you may play it again as you will quickly forget where things are at the start.

I found this game kind of blurry. All my other games work fine so I'm guessing it's not the monitor rather it's likely my eyes. I like a crisper game.

It is nice though that they come out with long HOG's. With the advent of the HOG that only takes 3 hours to finish, a longer game is more than welcome. Let's hope they continue the trend!!

I bought this game and I am enjoying it. Except I think finding her lingerie is kind of weird. This girl leaves her undies everywhere. wink

I'm enjoying this game . seems like I've been playing forever, a nice long game. It also has a puzzle mode which you can play as well as the timed or relaxed full version.

I like the different puzzles and I think that some things re-arrange slightly as you play a scene which makes it a bit harder.

wave Hello, all!

Well, finally purchased this game, downloading as we speak. Have to rush off to work, so I'll start the game later this evening. Enjoyed the trial, and it sounds like it's got some length to it, so I'm looking forward to getting into it!

See you later!

I am in the museum. I cannot find the 5th coin. The hint highlights the bottom right but when I click there nothing happens. What gives?

I have tried to download this game three times, but each time it ends up in the top left corner of my screen and is not playable. Has anyone else had this problem? I have never had a problem with any BF games before.

Well I'm bummed. This game looked so good. I d/l the demo and I got a shortened screen. There's 1/4" missing from both the top and the bottom. This happened awhile back with MCF: Madame Fate (after I already bought the game) and BFG tech support couldn't resolve it. I'm guessing they won't be able to help me this time either, but I sent in a request anyway.

Has anybody else had a problem with the screen missing a section at the top and bottom of games?

Look up a few posts Scarlet. A similar thing happened to Scarket. It sounds like it is in picturebox mode. Do you have a widescreen monitor?

No Ana, I have a regular width flat screen monitor. My problem is not the same as Adorable. The screen is centered perfectly, but 1/4 to 1/2" of the game screen is just missing. My desktop shows from the background at the top and bottom. The tech guy I had last time was very nice and we e-mailed back and forth for days, trying everything in his bag of tricks. If I lowered my screen resolution, I could recapture the missing parts, but the view was so tiny there was no way I could find the littlest objects. I finally just gave up. Win some - lose some. It's not like there isn't "a new game everyday" to choose from.

For those that have played or are currently playing this one: is the storyline at all interesting? Just curious, not that I care a ton about a great story in the hidden object games. But I kind of like it when the background story gets you absorbed too, so you're not just hunting for objects for no reason.

A holiday at last! The top New York journalist Michelle Deanfield needed a break. Fantastic white sand Caribbean beaches, crystal-clear water & tons of history offered her what she needed to escape the daily grind of the big city.

While vacationing the director of the local museum suddenly disappears as does a precious casket from the museum. The locals believe this is the work of an old spirit curse. Help Michelle investigate the mystery and uncover a network of lies, intrigue and secrets.

I tried the demo and objects too hard to find and the fuzzyness of the back ground hard to make out objects. This game I would not buy you would be frustrated for sure.
