I really like it. Not just a hidden object, but puzzles to complete as well as mini puzzles, and plenty of hints
I haven't played right the way through yet, so not sure how long it is, but enjoying it right now

Good game. Items are easy to find and I like the puzzles. One thing I don't get is - How do you turn the pieces in the puzzle? I tried right-click, and also click on the arrows in the puzzles but that didn't work.

I thought this was a pretty good game. It reminded me of the Natalie Brooks game. A lot of hints, makes you think (but not TOO hard, lol), and you can easily skip the story line.

Tammy64 - if you put your mouse in the middle of the puzzle piece, hold the left mouse button (I think!),and gently move the mouse in a circular direction, it should turn the piece. It's a tad sensitive, though.

Thanks Stella - that worked. I also bought the game. I don't know how big the game is, but I bought it anyways. Thanks again.

Hard to describe without giving too much away, but lets just say different,they make you work for objects and clues . Towards the end they get harder, finding things in different rooms, that are needed for another room. Some we have seen before, match 3 for instance, but most are different. Not too hard or really frustrating either, but make you use the grey matter smile

I liked it. Objects are fairly easy to find, but the hidden objects take a bit more thought. The puzzles are pretty simple at least in the hour I played. An enjoyable no stress game. I didn't see a timer. I wish there was a way to turn off some to the hints that tell you what to do next. It would increase the difficulty a bit for some of us. Kind of like the Nancy Drew games where you can chose to have a checklist on what you need to do, junior or senior where you are on your own. I have a feeling its not a very long game.

I played the BF demo, and got a little further than the first time. It really is fun! I'd be interested to know how long the game is, too.

I guess if I had a BFG wishlist, or wish-item, it would be to be able to flag games that are "maybes". So my wish would be to have a BFG wishlist! I guess I could do my own, simply not uninstall the "maybe later" games, but I get fanatical about space. Sometimes I think "what was that game again, the one that I liked but didn't want to buy at the time?"

Bought the game and love it, but now I'm stuck in the open market with 2 planks, camera, and a baseball. I know I have to do something with the boy who's holding the pot but have tried everything and nothing works. If anyone has gotten that far please let me know what to do.

I like the game a lot although I don't care much for cartoon-like graphics... the items are not too awfully hard to find and the games are fun. I like the interaction with the blue items.

This one gets a well-deserved thumbsup


Prices are going up everywhere except in our incomes.

Interesting game. Better than just HOG. Makes your brain a little tired also.

BFG Guy did it again! What a great game! I started the demo for 3 minutes and immediatly bought the game. Highly recommend the game and I love the interaction with the various objects and the scanner to freely see what the object looks like. No timer! Big hugs to you BFG Guy for listening to us Casual gameers who don't want the added frustration of a timer.

I hope the game is a long game because I know it will be sad when it ends. Just my opinion thus far. Ana I think you will enjoy the game also. Well back to adventuring with Samantha.

I like that the artwork is different than the usual HOG. The interaction reminds me a lot of Amazon, but essier. The game, so far, isn't too hard but still interesting. I can't tell how many levels it is but there is a "museum" screen where you can see the artifacts you collect. Anyway, I bought it after a few mins. I like the game a lot. smile

Got all the way to the altar to put all the animals and flower on the altar. Got all the animals and the staff in the hole on the floor but can't figure out how to put the flower on the altar. Can anyone help that's done it already as I have been trying for quite awhile.

I finished the game in about 3 hrs. I liked the game alot. I just go through games like this quickly and always wish they were longer.

Candy,
do you have the flower? Look for the blue sparkly place to put it. sometimes the active area is not where you would think, it might be in the middle of that alter instead on top. The game is super linear. It won't let you try new things until everything else is done before hand.
