I've always enjoyed this series and took a chance and bought it without trying it first. Glad I did! This game is just as challenging and fun as the others. And Susan is a great character with a good, continuing storyline. Thanks for the attention to detail, the challenging puzzles, and the humor. The high standards for the game, the voices, the graphics and music have remained intact.
I recommend this game!

I had never tried a jigsaw puzzle on the computer before this game and frankly wasn't expecting much. Wow, was I wrong! I ended up also getting Forgotten Destiny because I enjoyed this one so much. Absolutely beautiful artwork and compelling storylines in both. And I honestly loved the music, it so enhanced the story. Whoever put these together, took a lot of care and knew what they were doing.
And also of note, you can change the background to make it easier to work the puzzles, change the amount of pieces, gridlines, etc. You can also use the scroll on your mouse to zoom in and out. There are also challenges and blitz games. I really think they thought of everything.
The story in this one was very compelling and Forgotten Destiny was heartbreaking. I know that sounds crazy for a jigsaw puzzle, but I couldn't wait to do the next puzzle to get more of the story. This one is about an alien invasion. And as you solve puzzles you get bits of story and journal from various characters. What do they want? Does humanity survive? What is the cost?
Hoping there will be another, but happy to wait to get this kind of quality.

I truly enjoyed the game! The artwork is lovely, the voices are well done. A lot of work went into the details. It's true the super-puzzles of other MCF games were more difficult, and it's not as weird as some of the other storylines. And that's ok because, frankly I kind of lost the thread of the others they became so twisted up and stretched out. This game has it's own good story, good puzzles and I was never bored. Change can be good. Madame Fate will always be number one, but that doesn't mean this one has to fit the same mold. And I don't miss the guy with the tv for a head. At all.
I recommend this game!

First, the artwork and design are wonderful! And it's full of puzzles, yay! If your looking for the usual hidden object, need just the right object to open another object - this isn't for you. I like those, too, but this is a refreshing change. There aren't constant directions because you don't need them. You're given clues and part of the puzzle is figuring out what to do. They aren't unattainable, you just have to think it through. Each room has puzzles, a key and a gem to get into the next room. Visually it's beautiful and the storyline is fun. And there is a fun guide included if you get stuck (not usually in SE's). Thanks Big Fish, I had a lot of fun with this one!

I love Halloween and the graphics in this game are perfect! The colors and the atmosphere are certainly in the spirit. The voices are well-done, too. Bought the games before finishing the demo, and so glad I did. There is a variety of puzzles and challenges, and lots of attention to detail. Delivers spooky without being scary. Well done, and thanks for giving me some decorating and cookie ideas!

Been waiting for this game since I played the demo! Different from so many other games. New mini-games, new structure, new setting. Has a journal that gives background and info on the Viking lore. Challenging enough to make you think but not so difficult as to make you lose interest. I didn't find the game slow at all. It's not the kind where you, at this point, run around clicking the same old tasks and HOPs, going through the motions. You follow the story and think things through. That's not slow. There is a map but I barely used it. If you want the same old paint-by-numbers game, then you will be disappointed. If you want something fresh give it a try.
I recommend this game!

This game has it all - beautiful art, interesting story, and challenging puzzles. If you are looking for the same old HO Adventure this is not it, this is fresh and it is played differently. (i.e. you are not looking for a hundred keys to a hundred locks) You have to think and you have to look. Everything was so well done, the 3D puzzles that you play from all sides, the music, the actors, even the flashlight was realistic (I kept playing with it). The setting of Thailand was lovely and spooky, fantastic job.
There is a map, a hint button and you can skip puzzles, but I didn't need to and I'm not an expert. If you want to try something new give this a chance. It's not a game you rush through, it's a game you enjoy and think through. I just wish it was a CE so that I had more play time and a wallpaper. Please start working on another!

Great game! The graphics are wonderful, similar to Drawn, and nice music, too. Puzzles aren't particularly hard, but fun to play. I enjoyed playing the first Bluebeard, and the sequel hasn't disappointed. And the best part is, they've made a really good game without making you run back and forth over the entire game looking for silly stuff. Very enjoyable to play.
It's beautiful to look at, lovely to listen to, and intelligently designed. Well done Fanda Games, and thanks Big Fish!

Great game! Beautifull graphics, unusual puzzles that challenge but don't make you feel like an idiot, and a fun British mystery. Normally I don't bother with games that have a lot of dialogue, but this was so much fun. You have the option of continuing to click on characters to get more information out of them. Nice combination of movie and game. The HOS were well-done, with clever touches. Bought the game even before finding the black cat and knew I made the right choice then! Would love to know who the actors are who did the voice overs- some sounded so familiar. Well done, Magicindie and Big Fish!

I really enjoyed playing this game! Something new and different. Liked the live action and the sense of humor. Even the strategy guide was innovative but easy to use. The only thing I didn't like was the numerous and extremely difficult challenge of moving the blocks to put the picture together. Even when I knew where they should be attached I couldn't always get them to go where I wanted. Once was alright, but after the second or third time I was annoyed. That's why I didn't give a five for level of challenge. That aside, great game. And thank you for a map for easy travel and not giving me busy work looking for just the right key and just the right scissors. You can always count on MCF to take it to the next level and move forward.
