I played the demo and I loved it, the story isn't anything fantastic, but I really liked the hidden objects puzzles, the items were easy to see and find.
It was nice to not have to find extra items and morphing objects, just a simple easy to play game, I think even kids would like this
Graphics were really crisp and bright, very cheery.
I will be buying the game for sure.
Give the game a try, it may not seem like much but it is a really good game.

This is a game that may not have a lot of great graphics, but it sure makes one think.
No real hand holding here, but this is a great game for people who want to think for them selfs and solve some intriguing puzzles.
I played the demo and will probably use a free credit on it, I don't think I would want to pay money for it though.

The graphics were fine, I turned the music off just because I don't like music with my games.
I found it almost impossible to get past level 1, there were no real instructions on what to do, the game just started and it was up to the person to figure out how to play.
Level one is an extreme challenge, and if people like to challenge them selfs to the point of almost no fun, then this game might be for you, but me no thanks I won't even waste a free credit on this

Grandpa's Table is a very atmospheric puzzle game where you need to group tokens of various colors.

I have not seen such a bad game for a long time, not even sure why this was even available.
The music is repetitive, graphics are old school, and I found nothing really good about the game.
Yes, it is challenging, but it soon becomes boring as you are doing the same thing over and over again.
No sorry, this is not a game I would even waste my free credits on.

The music I found annoying after a while, so I turned it off.
The story was good, I liked it and the I like the fact it has voice over so one does not have to do a lot of reading before getting into the game.
The play was alright, but not something I would rush out to buy, I would consider buying it if I had a free credit.
I would still recommend the game though to people who really like match 3.

This game is great, it is quite challenging, and takes a bit to get into it, but by the end of the demo I was hooked, I was hoping that Big Fish had the first one in the series, but it does not seem to at this moment.
I had the music turned off so I don't know how that was.
The graphics are great, the puzzles are challenging enough but yet not so hard it makes it impossible.
This is a definite thinking game.
I will be buying it with one of my free credits.
Give this game a try it might surprise you

This for some reason did not grab me as much as I thought it would, I tried the demo version, and I was not happy with it.
There were no voice overs which is fine, I don't mind reading, but I always prefer the story unfolding with the characters talking.
The music was not bad, I did turn if off as I am not a fan of music in a game.
The scenes were good, some of the hidden objects scenes were a little hard to find items but doable.
There is not a lot of help with how to play the game which is fine for people who are familiar with this type of game, but for new people, it might be a bit confusing.

And if you have a serious phobia of spiders, you might want to skip this or have a friend nearby to help, there is one hidden object scene where there is a HUGE lifelike spider, freaked me out, I got a friend to do that part for me :-)
No, I didn't care for this game and I wouldn't recommend it.
I don't recommend this game.
Position brightly colored fobs on the game board to match up colors. Just do it before the time runs out!

This is a game for very young players, the music is very childish and annoying, the gameplay was so boring I didn't even make it past the demo, I lasted for about only 20 minutes because I wanted to really give it a chance.
Not something I would buy unless I had kids or grandkids.

I tried the online version first, then I downloaded it and tried the trial, and I really liked it, it has enough of a challenge to it to keep it interesting, the story is really non-existent.
The music was terrible but easy to turn off.
All in all a fun game, and a change of pace from other games.
I will use a credit on it instead of paying for it, or if you have a free game use it on this :-)

The remastered version is a lot better than the original in a lot of ways.
In the original one had to swap disks all the time, and the playing area was a small viewing area about half the screen.
In this one, we get the choice of full screen
No disk swapping :-)
The characters are now in 3d, so a lot better.
The original characters were more cartoon-like.
This version also has a new character added, a detective
The endings are different as well, I won't give that away.
The original has 2 arcade machines in the diner, but none offer mini-games, now in the new version one of the machine offers a mini game
I don't play the music in any game, so I can't tell you what that is like or even if it has music or not :-)

If you are new to Nancy Drew games, don't start with this one, since they don't need to be played in order as each game plot is self-contained.
Pick a Nancy Drew game with a location that intrigues you.

If you want lots of puzzles Last Train to Blue Moon Canyon, if you like intrigue and backstabbing among students try Warnings at Waverly Academy, if you want something exotic try Phantom of Venice, and finally, if you like to be scared while snooping around try Legend of the Crystal Skull or Ghost of Thornton Hall.
There are so many good Nancy Drew games available, and as I said this one is good, but I still prefer the newer versions, the reason I played both is just to compare the difference between the two and for a little nostalgic walk down memory lane :-)

This one is quite a bit shorter than the newer ones as well, mainly because there are not as many puzzles, mini games, plots or twists as the newer ones
I recommend this game!
