I don't usually like the "run here and run there" games, but this one is quite interesting and intriguing! Music was exciting and varied. There were a lot of things to do and good puzzles. Story line is good and I really wanted to know what happened to the characters. Most of these kinds of games, I just didn't care--and sometimes even wished some wimpy characters would get rubbed out for good! I may actually purchase the full version of this one!

It was a pretty typical HOG--nice variety of melodies-trash to find, lost and found items--lots of variety of puzzles to solve. I played the 60 minute trial but will not buy it just because it's very similar to so many other HOGs.
I recommend this game!

The Big Secret of a Small Town
Find out what is hidden behind the mysterious disappearance of the Mayor.
Mediocre game at best. I got stuck at the hot valve streaming steam level. Couldn't figure out how to get the tapestry down to stop the leaky hot steam. Not a game I would purchase--just not one I would want to play more than once. Music was ok, not annoying, graphics kind of cartoonish.
A very well designed game, graphically fantastic! Fascinating variety of mini games and twists and turns in this one. I probably won't buy this one though, because it's not one I would enjoy playing more than once.
I recommend this game!

Big City Adventure: Istanbul
Visit the ancient and powerful city of Istanbul, ever-steeped in history, in the latest chapter of the hit classic hidden object series.
Love all the Big City Adventure games! This one has great music, which always makes the game for me! Hidden object games mostly with puzzle games interspersed throughout.
This is a cute game--pretty much exactly like Gardenscapes--which I did purchase. This one is so much like that one, I can't see buying the full game. But it is fun.
I recommend this game!

Word Explorer
The biggest Word Game on the planet! Collect thousands of photographs around the world with this epic word game!
This is a very different word game in my estimation. You get a clue to the word and one or 2 letters that are "givens" and the rest of the letters can be rearranged. Every time you move a letter, it costs you one point on your score. Agree with the first reviewer...very interesting world facts, sites to explore, naming rivers, mountain ranges, exotic animals, a lot of which I have never heard of!! The music is varied, especially in the Quick Play mode. This is a free to play game, and there are constant chances to spend real money, but you shouldn't have to. This is a well crafted game that likely took a lot of work on the part of the developers!
I recommend this game!

9 Elefants
Follow our intrepid investigators as they explore this unique Paris setting that combines fantasy and the Crazy Years.
Waaaaaay too much bubble/cloud conversation between the characters that you just have to click, click, click on versus skipping the whole thing. The "puzzles" are old and tired things. The game kept telling me "congratulations, you've collected 10 gears" but I don't exactly know how I collected gears unless it was the "prize" for solving the "puzzle." I lasted about 6 minutes into the demo before chucking the game.
I don't recommend this game.

Just a sweet little game to pass the time. Lovely music--the Ice Queen doesn't like it when you have too many cards left on the table and kind of scolds you for that. Otherwise...just a nice little solitaire game.
