I was very disappointed to discover that the game must be played in timed mode and 3 stars earned to get a puzzle piece even if you find it during play. I do not like playing in timed mode and so this game is not a buy for me. I do think it is cute and would have been fun to play if all the collector's bonus parts were accessible to those of us who prefer playing without time constraints.
I don't recommend this game.

I enjoyed the entire game but was disappointed to find that by playing it in untimed mode, i was not able to redecorate the museum. There are voice overs at the start and end of each chapter and every segment has conversation to read. I enjoyed the story line and have finished the entire game.
Some may feel it is not worth a CE price as there is not a bonus chapter but instead you find puzzle pieces to put together and recieve an extra segment for each puzzle.
Try it and see if you like it.
I recommend this game!

I have always enjoyed the clutter games but was disappointed at first with the game as it doesn't offer an untimed mode. I had run out of time in the 3rd level and so wrote a review about my disappointment. I decided to try the game again as I had time left in the demo and figured out that by hitting the middle green button, I am able to finish each level.
I am enjoying the game almost as much as the other Clutter games but will say to Joe, please bring back the options for no time, belt running etc from previous games.
I recommend this game!

I completely enjoyed this game. It's fun to switch between husband and wife and in some areas have them working together. I loved the plot, the way everything was played out and it didn't involve magic, monsters (except the human kind), devils or other unworldly critters.
It was lighthearted fun if you can call a murder mystery lighthearted. I liked the variety in puzzles including in HOGs and the different characters presented.
The game reminded me both of Jessica Fletcher (Murder She Wrote) and Dead Reckoning games which I have played over and over.
As always, play the trial first to see if it fits your playing style. A big thank you to BFG and ERS for this game.
I recommend this game!

Based on full game and bonus game. I loved this game. The setting was fun and the characters were fun (as well as known names), the story was fun and I especially enjoyed the bonus game. I am very tired of dark games and have quit purchasing them for the most part so it was lovely to find a game with light graphics and a human villain who made sense.
I enjoyed the mechanics of the game too.
Try it and see for yourself.
I recommend this game!

I love Rumbic games and so bought this one with trying it first. I own their other games and replay them often. I was disappointed and dismayed to find that there was no untimed/unlimited move option. I am still trying to play it but can only last a short time as I get frustrated having to replay levels 10 or more times.
Rumbic games , please go back to allowing those of us who play for fun the chance to play unlimited time/moves.

I purchased this one immediately as I am a big Agatha Christie fan and love the previous games. I think it followed the book very well and loved the portrayal of the characters. It is an adventure game not a HOG and has a hint system but you do need to think on this one. I am really enjoying playing it.
I recommend this game!

I seldom give reviews but had to comment on this one.
I spent most of the demo time on level 4. I found it very hard to discern cards - the 4 and Ace look identical etc and with all the card suits the same color it made it even worse. I enjoy good solitaire games - even matching ones - but this one is set up to be frustrating instead of fun.
On a positive note I did enjoy the music and it was cute to make the face cards gangsters and molls.
I don't recommend this game.

I enjoyed the demo and got the game (fortunately with a coupon) and then later discovered it was timed and there was no option to play relaxed - I probably would not have purchased it if I had realized the time only mode.

I have played for several hours and am still not finished. It has lots of different variations of puzzles and hogs. The scenes are beautifully done and the game is very pleasant and fun to play. I am surprised that it is just an SE due to the length and quality.
I recommend this game!
