Interesting Game [Posted on 2008-02-09]
I enjoy this quiet game. It makes you pay a great deal of attention to detail. It's good for your brain.

This was the first "Hidden Object" game I had played. I enjoyed it very much it was challengingly without being frustrating. I would recommend this game to anyone that enjoys this time of game.

This is another that I bought the game instead of downloading. The objects are a little had to find because of the snow but it can be done. He gives advice on mountain climbing.

Horribly repetitive, plotless, and devoid of any real characters or goal [Posted on 2008-04-19]
This game is amusing for perhaps the first ten minutes. Then you realize the ENTIRE thing is finding very well hidden objects in attractively rendered, though lifeless, backgrounds. You do that several times in a row and occasionally do one other type of puzzle (the only other type). The second kind is roughly like a jigsaw, but less fun and with clumsy handling. As you complete more puzzles, you get more...hints? I'm not sure what it is. It's mostly meaningless and short scripts, some factual (buut not very interesting) and some about "characters"...though there is no development to these personages...or a story, really. It's all pointless, and neither challenging nor easy. It is simply repetitive. If you want brainy games, something with a story, something with characters or any interest at all, try something else. It's not worth the money or time. Avoid similar games by this company.

I enjoy playing this with the grandkids! [Posted on 2008-04-20]
I thought this was going to be another hidden object game that has to be played in small bits and pieces before boredom sets in. But the hidden items are well hidden, and the timer feature adds some excitement. There are timed puzzles here and there that are challenging enough to be fun, but not so hard they are frustrating. It is possible to get tips, but you have to earn them. There is a little to be learned about geography, and my 8-year-old granddaughters have learned the names of a few items they had never seen before. But this game is for entertainment -- not education. There are other "teams" who appear to be competing against the player. We always play this as a team of three, so it is more socially interactive than a lot of computer games.
