Hidden Mysteries: Notre Dame - Secrets of Paris is an enjoyable game to play. It's not the longest game, and not the most difficult. But if you're looking for a fun game with an interesting story, this should do it. You're helping the bishop find a very valuable missing icon. Your journal gives several good clues during the game. A good map shows all the areas that have tasks to do. You can make the game much more difficult by not looking at the map as you play. When you see sparkling lights, that means there is a hidden object scene. The art work is very good and the objects are not hard to find. There is no penalty for clicking, so if you're not sure where an object is located, click away! Some scenes are repeated in the game, but different objects are listed. There are several good mini games to solve. A little question mark in the upper left corner gives you directions for the mini games. There are also a ghosts to help you along the way. At the end you find out what happened to the icon and "who did it". I enjoyed the game very much!
I recommend this game!

There's something very engaging about trying to find objects using a 360 degree roller. Imagine some of the most iconic sights of London, filled with mysterious objects, and it's your job to find them. Part of the game is finding the objects, and the other part is trying to solve the mystery of the true identity of Jack the Ripper. Clues are all over the place, and you have to finish the game to see if the mystery is ever solved. This game should really be called Travelogue 360: Mystery in London. It's the third and best game in the series. The first game is Travelogue 360: Paris and the second game is Rome: Curse of the Necklace. Both are fun games. This game, however, has all the wrinkles ironed out. The roller ball is very smooth (not so in the other games). There are unlimited hints just in case you can't find one or two objects. Some of the scenes have silhouettes of objects rather than a list. Other scenes have objects that are moving slightly, which you have to find. This game was lots of fun to play! I highly recommend it.

Magic Encyclopedia Moon Light is a very good game. It's similar to the first Magic Encyclopedia game, but the art work is much better. You have to find hidden fragments of objects, and when you've found them all, then you can use the object. The objective of this game is to find a missing professor. You jump back and forth to different places on a world map, assembling and using objects. Some objects are used in a different room, so you can't use it immediately. In every scene there are jewels to find, and if you don't find them all, you can't finish the game. You can tell if you've found them by looking at the map. A jewel will be above the flag for your location if it still hasn't been found. The one thing I disliked about the game is that some of the fragments were very tiny and hard to find. I clicked all over the screen and found lots of stuff that way - there's no penalty for over-clicking. I liked this game a lot. It's not quite as good as the third and final game, Magic Encyclopedia: Illusions, but it's still lots of fun to play.
I recommend this game!

In this game, Travelogue 360 Paris, you go on 20 "tours" of various locations in and around Paris. There are 3-4 parts to every tour, and in each part you need to locate "souvenirs" using a 360 degree ball and directional arrows. There are two other games like this, but neither one uses the word "travelogue" in the title. You can find them if you use "360" for a search. This game has some wonderful elements: 1) You can see some highlights of Paris. 2) Rather than showing you exactly where something is, the hint button only gives you a gauge, and as you scroll around it becomes more green the closer you are to the object. There are also some elements that are not as good as one of the other games, "Rome: Curse of the Necklace". 1) There is lots more repetition in this game. Not only the same scenes over and over, but sometimes the same objects in those scenes. 2) The mini games at the end of each tour are almost always either a jigsaw puzzle or fitting things into a suitcase. The jigsaws vary, however, in that the pieces are different shapes such as grapes or croissants. In this game there are only 5 hints per tour, so be sure to save them up. If you use them all, you're just stuck until you can find all the objects on your own. Some of the tours, especially toward the end of the game, have 7 or 8 parts and up to 14 souvenirs to find in each part. All in all, I liked this game and gave it 4 stars. I had fun playing it, in spite of all the repetition.
I recommend this game!

The name of this game is kind of confusing. It should be "Travelogue 360: Rome - The Curse of the Necklace". Other than that, it's perfect! Here's the story line: 200 years ago a noble family disappeared. You play the game to find out what happened. You find clues in every chapter, each one explaining part of the mystery. It's lots of fun to look around 360 degrees - overhead, under your feet, and all around the room - looking for hidden objects. Most, but not all, of the objects are clear and large enough to see. Some of the names of the objects are a little obscure. But there's a good hint button for those few objects that are a little too small or far away or obscurely named. I used a systematic search approach, looking around the room using the rotating ball. Then I did the same thing again, only this time using the zoom at the largest setting. As you explore and solve each chapter, you learn fun facts about some of the old traditional businesses in Rome. You do visit each scene more than once, but that helps because you remember where some of the objects are when you saw them the first time. I totally enjoyed this game and highly recommend it.

I loved this game. I played the first Magic Encyclopedia game and wasn't very impressed, so I wasn't expecting much from this one either. But the ratings convinced me to give it a try. It was worth it! This is a MUCH better, much more sophisticated game than the first one. The basic procedures are the same; you're trying to find fragments of objects. Then when you find all the fragments, you can use the objects to move you along further in the game. The Illusionist has imprisoned all the master magicians, so Catherine must try to save them all and defeat the Illusionist. The game is charming and well-thought out. There are 5 chapters, so it's satisfyingly long. Each chapter has about 4 rooms to explore. I loved the game and highly recommend it.

This is a wonderful hidden object game. There are 25 levels, so it's a game you can really spend time on and is well worth the cost. The objects in each scene of New England are skillfully hidden, but the art work is very clear and easy to see. To play the game, you find hidden objects in an average of four to five scenes at each level. At the end of the level there is a mini-game such as Match 3, Jigsaw puzzles, Find the Differences, Mahjongg, Word find, etc. When you solve the mini game you receive a clue, and when you finish all 25 levels, you need to use all the clues you've collected to solve a final puzzle. You get extra points for quickly clicking on more than one object. There are also "bonus" hidden objects in each new scene. If you find all 25 cameras you get an extra million points. Every new scene also has a key and a lobster. The object is to find all 25 of each of these in order to play the "Unlimited" hidden object part of the game and Match 3 Bonus Game. After you finish all 25 levels, you can click on each scene and find every one of the hidden objects in that scene. I'm a real hidden object game fan, so this game is perfect for me!

I finished Magic Encyclopedia (First Game), but it was only due to personal stubbornness. The fragments of objects were pretty difficult to find, and I often found myself clicking systematically all over the page to find small invisible pieces. The idea of the game was very clever, and the sequels were much better than this one. You have to put several objects together by collecting all the pieces. Often you need to go into more than one location to be able to use all the completed objects. You also need to solve puzzles in order to find all the pieces. There is no "Skip Puzzle" button, so you have to tough it out sometimes. I found myself exiting the game and looking on one of the online walkthroughs to see how to solve two or three of the puzzles. Other puzzles are very simple. You have a limited number of hints to use, but if you run out you can earn more by finding 10 question marks in a special scene. In every level you need to find ALL the amulets (jewels). You can tell if you've found all of them if there is a flag on the map for that scene. If not, go back and find them because you can't finish the game without them. In spite of the cleverness of the idea, I was mainly frustrated playing this game due to the invisibility of quite a few of the small pieces. I would certainly try the game for the free hour of play before purchasing it if I were you.
I don't recommend this game.

I tried 3 times to finish the very first round of the Huntsville game and failed. I guess I just don't have the skill level for this game. To me, it's not enjoyable when I have to rush so fast. I've played all the other Mystery Case Files games and liked them very much. This one didn't work for me. If you love to hurry, hurry, hurry - - then this game might be for you. Be aware though that lots of the items are "very" well hidden and they take lots of time to find. This game is very similar to the Prime Suspects game, which itself kind of hurries you along. But I did manage to finish that one. Oh well - - you can't win them all. :-(
I don't recommend this game.

Mystery Case Files: Prime Suspects comes before the Madame Fate game in the same series. They are similar in many respects, especially the humor. You have to solve a crime and find the missing diamond by checking out various suspects. I think the game designers listened very carefully when people reviewed this game and used the ideas to make improvements for the Madame Fate game. If I could have, I would have given this game 3 and a half stars rather than 4. But it's definitely higher than a 3. This game only has 4 hints, and you have less time to solve each level, which to me increases the pressure and makes it a little less enjoyable. For each suspect there are between 5-8 scenes in which to find hidden objects. Some are dark and require you to find a battery in one of the other scenes. You're basically looking at the same scenes several times, but I guess this is important, because as you progress in the game, there are more scenes and a shorter time. So if you remember where objects are, it's really helpful. This game has less variety than Madame Fate, but it's still fun to play. There are no morphing objects. You can't skip puzzles at the end of each level, but the puzzles are easy. In Madame Fate, you are rewarded if you find two objects in a row quickly. In this game, you have to click on one object, then wait until it's taken off your list before you can click on anything else. Some of the art work is kind of messy which makes objects hard to find. Some objects are very tiny, very dark, or on the very edge of the screen. At the end of the game there is a pretty difficult puzzle to solve. I went to this game's page on the Big Fish website and checked on the forum. There's an explanation for how to solve the puzzle on the forum. Basically I think this is a good game to buy in spite of the problems I discussed. It's not perfect, but it's still fun to play.
I recommend this game!
