Almost immediately became very annoyed in the first hidden scene with the huge red X every time I hit on a wrong item. Like the Secret City series but am really on the fence with this one. Maybe if a good sale I will purchase. Until then it is a big NOPE for me.
Come on Big Fish....you are only releasing hidden object games once a week now so lets start releasing games that are worth the wait and the price you want for a game.

Don't know what is going on at Elephant Games but they have taken this great series and also Grim Tales and flushed them both down the drain. Each new game of theirs has less and less collectibles which, in my opinion, is a huge mistake. Not to mention NO ELF. Come on, what were you thinking!! I lasted all of 9 whole mins before deciding it was a waste of my time. I have been with Big Fish for many many years and have purchased a ton of games but am now shopping for a different game site. The recent releases of inferior games is enough to sour me.
I don't recommend this game.

I am so glad this game has normal scenery. I really hate the games that are dark with purple and pink colors. Like the story line. There is a little too much talking and after awhile all I hear is blah, blah, blah, lol. My only real complaint is I was not very impressed with having to use the phone to find symbols. Got a little annoying but all in all am enjoying the game.
I recommend this game!

When I saw that Elephant was coming out with a new series I was quite excited. Instead I am very disappointed. While I liked the storyline the game itself is the same ole same ole cookie cutter with even less collectibles than in other games. Maybe developers are burning out but i sure wish someone would come out with a game that grabs me from start to finish and leaves me wanting more. Has not happened with this game or any in a very long time.

Enjoying the whole game. Although the level of challenge was a little easy still very enjoyable. On a different note I would like to address the player who said they were tired of people "complaining". I would not call it complaining but giving their opinions of gameplay etc. Isn't that what giving a review is all about. How can developers improve on their games if players don't give an honest review on the game.

Just like with books and movies the sequels go from bad to really really bad. The first game in this series was awesome and then each sequel just got horrible. Really don't know what is going on with developers these days but there hasn't been a "terrific" game released in a long time. Only reason I purchased this game was the BOGO and I regret doing so. Most definitely not CE worthy.
I don't recommend this game.

I am enjoying this game very much but had to stop for a bit and rest my old eyes. I like a challenge as much as the next person and don't like it too easy to spot morphing objects BUT the size of these are just way to small for these old eyes. Developers need to keep in mind that people of all ages play their games.
I recommend this game!
When volcanic eruptions uncover hidden caves in Samoa, you can’t wait to decipher the ancient texts inside! But this educational expedition quickly takes a dangerous turn when someone steals your research! Legend says the Maori hid a powerful artifact, and there’s no telling what damage it could do in the wrong hands! Can you find the artifact and save the world in time?

First off, I had a terrible lagging problem. Did not even get 10 mins into game and had to delete. Would have been deleting anyway as this is just another cookie cutter game. It seems in the past few months the games are either the same or the graphics are too cartoonish. It is like the developers are pulling games out of a vault from 10 yrs ago.
I don't recommend this game.

Grim Tales has always been one of my most favorite game series. Got 12 mins into game and found the graphics horrible and Alice's voice so annoying I just had to delete. Besides the fact that no Richard, which was a huge mistake on developers part, I found this game not up to par for the Grim Tales series. So no buy for me.
I don't recommend this game.

Recently purchased this game as Mystery Trackers is one of my favorite game series. I just wish Elephant would bear in mind that there are old people playing their games and not with the best eyesight. The morphing objects were way too small for my old eyes. Half the time I had to have my son find it for me or use the guide. Other than that so far am enjoying the game (about 1/4 the way thru).
I recommend this game!
