Hi all, I played about 10 minutes . I found the poor English very off putting. Seems like just another clone HOG. Thats just me.

I played nearly the full hour but it was the same old as other games I have.

I agree with lilkim about the english and the instructions were even wrong with right click instead of left but I can live with that.

I am a bit undecided about this- maybe to fill in an afternoon when nothing else to play I might get it.

I don't have anything to play so downloading. I still enjoy the straight HOGs. Hopefully it won't be too short a game. Thanks for the heads up on the instructions.

This would be a fine HOG for someone new to hidden-object games or just in general need of a HOG fix smile , but there's not enough here to interest me right now; I'm saving my game credit for Flux Family Secrets/Adventures (which hopefully will be the TGT tomorrow or Saturday!). I satisfied my fix for a general HOG already this past month with buying Undiscovered World.

I'm also hoping that Flux will be one of Felix's Favorites (I'm pretty sure that it will be).

I liked it. The game makers listened to us and gave us every thing we need in a game. No timer, variety of games, clear graphics, good music, and lot's of hints. But before I could buy the game it froze on me during the "find the difference" never did find the last difference. I may try it again later.


Prices are going up everywhere except in our incomes.

If you move the magnifing glass over the screen it will eventually begin to flicker. The object is near there.

Thanks for quick reply, thought that might be it, but found it not to easy, probably moving it to fast!!!

The magnifying glass hint is like the old "hot-cold" game. The closer you get to the hidden object the faster the green light in the magnifier blinks. When it stays green without blinking, you're right over the object. Took me awhile to figure that out. I must have been having a "senior moment."

The dialogue is definitely hard to follow because of the broken English. I also noticed that there are several of the same object, but only one is correct i.e. gloves, hats, etc. Some of the objects are named incorrectly, e.g. find a plate, but it's really a bowl.

This game is borderline. It's definitely a clone but if I really need a HOG fix, I might buy it eventually. It's not bad, just not outstanding.
