What players say
Players are split on this hidden object game. Some enjoy the episodic cases and challenging, varied minigames, while many others criticize the art for blending objects together, objects being poorly labeled, and overly precise click areas. The consensus is it feels dated, originally released in 2009, with a serviceable story that is not a standout.
