I like the way the Treasure Seekers games are designed.. the hidden object scenes are well thought out, the story line is good and the challenge and length of the game is good too. My only grumble.. the ending was abrupt.. I will not spoil it for you by explaining but I feel after a great thought out game it was like they just ran out of time or couldnt be bothered and it was just thrown together.
Such a shame, but still worth four stars.
I recommend this game!

Loved this one. Great story and challenges. My only grumble was delay loading time between certain scenes or games but hardly anything major to grumble about! the hidden objects are not too dificult but that makes the game play flow well and the adventure aspect makes a lot more sense than other IHOG games I have played.
I loved the others in this series and this one did not disappoint (unlike the new ravenhearst).
I recommend this game!

I absolutely love Mystery Case files games.. I have them all so on the sale day I bought this old game thinking it must be good as I love all the others.. WRONG!
It generally is just Hidden Object scenes with junk pile basic search.. some are flashlight in the dark (very annoying) and some are simple junk pile. The hidden objects can be challenging but it is the repetition I found tedious.
You go back to the same scene at least 10 times and re-search.. after finding about 30-40 items you then get to do either a match two cards game or wordsearch or jumbled picture puzzle.. none are challenging and it gets very boring after a while.
I think because it is an old game, "of its time" it was a great game but now with all the other choices and stories and challenges put into IHOG and HOG this one is really dated.
GIVE IT A MISS and try all the other FANTASTIC MCF games.
I don't recommend this game.

I did like this game but for some reason none of the cut scenes worked on my computer. Therefore I didnt see the end scene or begining so dont know what happened!
As far as game play is concerned though it is a good game with a good mix of challenges just wish it loaded quicker and I was able to play it without freezing of screen.

I loved the other two games in this series but have to say this one was a big dull dud for me. Found myself getting really bored of the story line and little to no challenge in the puzzles. I wish I had saved my money for another game.
I don't recommend this game.

Great game for Poker lovers. I have played the first game in this series too and it was great but this one has more of a story to it and flows really well. It has various Cities you visit to play games of Poker then you can purchase the houses to eventually own the whole city! your goal is to win all the cities and beat the governor of Texas and become the new Governor. I really dont have anything bad to say about this.. if you love poker it is a must buy from Big Fish! Nice long game play before completing the game so it is value for money. :)
I recommend this game!
