This "game" is just tedious. the story line is inane. this get hard and click-click-click soon, but the level of boredom I felt was constantly high. Reading the phone book is much more amusing.
A lot of inane, repetitive tasks,the dialogue is worse than an 80's sitcom. and the story never rises above the "skip" line.
It includes "every aspect of hotel life – cleaning rooms, helping out in the bar and keeping up with all the paperwork." Yay - paperwork and cleaning glasses.
It's so bad, you should try it, It's like a blister you have to poke to see how bad it can be.... and it can be pretty bad.
Same game engine as some many other games.
BigFish should select the games better.
I can't wait for the sequel Ella's Tax return 2020...... click on schedules, scan in receipts and wait for hours on the phone...
This game has a limited amount of locations that you will have to revisit over and over again. It also includes a match3 location and a "find the pairs level"
HO: 12 objects / location find by name or shape
There are tools: Find1 object; find 3 objects, illuminate whole scene. get more time
Handicaps: mirrored level Dark level (only see part of it) Words are anagram Harpy - find one at a time
this is a state of the art HO game from 2008 The story is.... inane
Favorite Genre(s):Adventure, Brain Teaser, Hidden Object, Time Management

I remember when Hidden Expedition was a ground breaking game. high visual quality innovative and fun.
This exactly like that game, but not at all.
No innovation. the CE has all the standard stuff and achievements every other HO CE has, at least they are easily achieved.
graphics are sub-par and some puzzles are very obscure, like the "pose the people on the plaque" puzzle Hidden Expedition Amazon is way more fun, i replayed that 11 year old game and: (worse graphics but more fun)
This is not one game, it is an assortment of many mini-games. There is nothing new or exciting about these. The graphics are lagging behind by 10-15 years. It is the same 300 objects that are either scaled down or up or black and white.
The user interface is primitive, low-res and hard to use.
There is no real story; you can not exit in the middle of a game and if you finish a "level" you get treated to a quote ( the same quotes you see changing daily at parking structure entrances.
And also you get a line of text from the designer/producer/programmer/artist ( they are all the same! ) Something like: "I thought to leave this line blank but it would confuse people"
