After purchasing the series of "Art by Numbers," this Paint by Numbers was a real disappointment. The lines between numbers, which are difficult to see, are thick and interfere with the pictures. There is such a difference between this series and the Art by Numbers, that I am sorry I purchased them.
I don't recommend this game.

I thought I'd play the trial first, but right off the bat, I find the game uninteresting. I don't care for the "astral realm" and trying to find Richard's path to saving his soul. I have always enjoyed the games following the Gray family, but not this one.
I don't recommend this game.

I was very happy to find this HO game. Great storyline that actually flowed and made sense; great graphics; great eerie music; HOs that were a bit more hidden than the usual run-of-the-mill HOs. This developer seemed to take the time and effort to create a fun, interesting, and clever game. Thank you!
I recommend this game!

I am so happy to play a game that is different from most other games of the HO genre. This has a real story, eerie music, great graphics, and plays in a sequence that makes sense. The HO's are not too easy, so I'm enjoying the hunt. I commend the game developers for creating something refreshing and interesting. Thank you!
I recommend this game!

I'm in the shop with the phoenix bird and I'm supposed to light the incense on the bird's magic fire. I have clicked and moved and clicked and moved, but it just isn't working. I'll have to give up on this one.
I don't recommend this game.

I couldn't give any more starts because I was stymied right from the get-go. The hint button NEVER recharged, and when I attempted to exit the game, it froze. Not well made, at all. Back to the drawing board, folks
I don't recommend this game.

First of all, I have purchased every single one of the Vacation Adventures: Park Ranger. Absolutely love the concept, the scenes, the games, the puzzles, etc. This new one has me a little put off due to some of the graphics in a few puzzles. Too difficult for an older player like myself to see tiny features in the drawings. In the hidden object scenes, I find that an over abundance of objects have been thrown in which, again, makes it difficult for me to determine starting and ending points for a few things, such as hiding most of an object behind something else. I usually play these games over and over to relax and enjoy myself. I'm not enjoying this one so much.
I recommend this game!

I loved the game and enjoyed everything about it, but I missed Richard! I've gotten so used to his face and manner, and I was disappointed to see Anastasia. Overall, a very good game.

This "game" is too clicky for me. Too much dialog and it makes the game drag a bit. I prefer a classic game with puzzles, and less of a story with several characters you are forced to speak with. Some people may really enjoy it, but I don't. The graphics are nice.
I don't recommend this game.

I have been looking for a new game that would hold my interest and entertain as well as challenge me. This is a beautifully drawn, well thought out story that is just what I was looking for. Good puzzles (not terribly difficult), good HOS, and a very good story with some good characters. The story moves logically and the voiceovers are done well. This game is worth your investment.
I recommend this game!
