graphics are atrocious. when in HOG hint is slow to recharge, and if you exit the HOG before finished and come back to it, the hint starts to recharge all over. definitely the worst BFG game ever.

I agree with Justthefacts: BASED ON ONE HOUR DEMO -- this game didn't excite me at all. A confusing and VISUALLY VERY POOR INTRO tells us that the previous owner of the house went mad, trying to find the treasure that is allegedly to be found on the estate. There is a SINISTER STRANGER as well, but that’s all ANCIENT HISTORY. We are the new owner and no nothing of this until we find his DIARY. In there, we find the 7 GNOMES POEM. This looks more interesting. The first gnome is predicted to fall down the chimney, and after we light a fire to warm us, choke on the smoke, and put it out, there is GNOME NO. 1. It’s a RIDDLE, and maybe it leads to the TREASURE? In any case, we are alone in a creepy house, with SERIOUSLY ODD background sounds, including VOICES floating in and out of STATIC. Although the GRAPHICS IMPROVE in the HO SCENES, they are, on my admittedly large wide screen monitor, STILL POOR. The HOS are NON-INTERACTIVE LISTS, and there are a LOT of them. So far I have not had to revisit any. The PUZZLES are DIFFERENT, enough to make me confused. In one, you must solve a riddle which requires you to count fish in a pond. But to finish the puzzle, you must write the answer down IN THE GAME, and I never figured out how to do that without pen and paper. SKIPPING a puzzle costs you 15 minutes on your GAME TIMER. HINT is directional, and you only have to CLICK ONCE to be taken to the next action. There are MORPHING OBJECTS to collect as well, but NO other ACHIEVEMENTS. So it has the MAKINGS of a GOOD STAND ALONE SE, but I can’t like it. It’s as if the developer and I are thinking on different wavelengths. So I guess you’ll have to make up your own mind. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS GAME.
I don't recommend this game.

this HOG is made up of tons of images that are made up of hundreds of tinier images that you must search through to find the few mentioned on your search list. graphics: very poor storyline: you get a puzzle piece for finding all the hidden objects. After the level is done, you get to put the puzzle pieces into a picture. gameplay: each level is timed. rewards are puzzle pieces that you later assemble. there is a zoom button and a hint button that lights up a large circular area around where the hidden item is located. the circle slowly closes in to focus in on the item you are seeking. my interaction: 15 minutes and gave up careful that you don't go blind

Grapics were ok. Too much dialogue. HOGs were interspersed with too many mini games. Sounds when items found in HOGs were really annoying. Played all the free time but was a waste of my time.

Very slow moving game..........had to force myself to continue until free play time was up. Slow moving between scenes. Not really a true Hidden Object Game as is usual from BFG. Too many embedded puzzles to complete before moving on. Idea is good, but needs work!
I don't recommend this game.

I love the TV show and have lots on DVD, so thought that this game would be exciting. Found it boring -- very slow and the graphics poor.

Like TeachumWell, I found that the idea of the game was fascinating, and that it would be a fun twist on match 3. What a disappointment! The timer was way too fast. It was difficult to see the creatures against the background. So exited the game and uninstalled it.

game is very slow moving.....just sitting around waiting for the characters to do their job. unfortunately when you use the 'hand' to speed things up, it only slows down production definitely won't be buying this one
