A "beautiful" game but it was way too short. For $20 you should be able to play longer than two hours! Download the trial and be done, don't waste your money like I did.

I love hidden object games and this was a nice twist. My husband and I both enjoy playing this genre together. We found this to be enjoyably challenging. I loved the puzzles. It can get boring staring at a screen looking for a specific item but when you're also thinking logically through the clues as to where an item might fit or how to get an item to work, it makes it challenging. I also loved the idea of "breaking" some of the items and then looking for the pieces. That can be especially challenging when some of the pieces can be pretty small and blend in very well. Well worth our time and one of the few hidden object games my husband and I would both enjoy buying.

I thought the game was great and really enjoyed the uniqueness of it from the usual hidden object games. I was very disappointed that is was so easy and I finished in less than 2 hours. I felt I had wasted my money.

This game was my first foray into the whole 'hidden-object-puzzle-piecing- mystery-solving' genre - and I totally hold it responsible for my addiction! I have played many(too many!) similar games since; But none better. "Spooky Manor" is the house this game-addict was born in. And: You KNOW -
"There's No Place Like Home" ! I try to visit often.

I thought this game was a stroke of genius. It's a hiiden object with a twist. In this game you find peices of the object ad then you have to find out where that peice goes in the rooms of that level. The story is cute and the graphichs are great. A must buy.

I absolutely fell in love with this game after checking out a few other hidden objects ones. By far, this one is the most unique of all the games in this genre that I have tried, and the layout of the game fits so perfectly with the title, and especially the theme. The game play is great, and the interaction with the items is not only a welcomed change, but it is one of the reasons this game is so unique. You have to not only find the items, you must figure out what to do with some of them in order to proceed to the next room or to complete the room you are in (even bringing the items you find from one room to the next). I can't say how much of a challenge this game would be for experienced players of this genre, but I would rank it somewhere near a medium difficulty. Nonetheless, it is a highly enjoyable game experience.

I really do like this game a lot. It is another hidden object game, but I liked the format in which you solve puzzles with them and unlock new passageways. My 2 year old gets a kick out of the ghosts that pop up, so I click away to make them appear. The only drawback is that it is too short, and that the game does not change - not even the word puzzle/secret location - the second time you play.

I really enjoyed this game. A completely new take on Hidden Object Games. This time you have to find pieces of the objects to assemble them and then decide where they go. Then there is a puzzle item to place in order to go on to the next level. The graphics and sound are great. Only drawback is the short length. However, they left it open for a sequel. Can't wait for that. A real treat for those who like Hidden Object Games.

A good, slightly different find-the-hidden-objects game. In this, you have to find seperate pieces of a certain item and use the items you find to restore things that sometimes uncovers the last piece of an item or unlocks the next level.
