Wow! I purchased this game for only $5, which is way more than it is worth. I seldom purchase a game from Big Fish that I find is a total waste, but this one certainly is.
I had to use my escape key to get out of the stalled box segment 3 times. I never could get past the first level. Really disappointing. I like the other Hiddenverse games but the glitches keep me from playing this one. I've deleted it from my games.
I don't recommend this game.

Yes! This! I seldom gush about games, but this one is fabulous! It is absolutely one of my all-time favorites. Not your same only HOPs or puzzles. I enjoyed this game from the get-go.
Yay!

I enjoyed this game very much. I love HOPs and this had plenty to satisfy. The included games were not so hard as to be frustrating but not too easy, to be boring. I think beginners and intermediate players would both enjoy this game. The game and the storyline moved forward quickly and except for one tiny section, flowed well. I plan to search for other Queen/Regicide games that I haven't played. Despite the title and subject, I found this a fun departure from spooky, dark games,
I recommend this game!

This game is lovely. It moves fairly quickly and the HOG and the puzzles are fun, not frustrating. The artwork is clear and the colors bright. I am happy I bought this and I will play it again. I am an Intermediate player who likes games that entertain. This is one of the best.
I recommend this game!

I enjoy the Faircroft's Antiques series. It was exciting to see another Faircroft game so soon after the last one. However, I was disappointed by this game. The hidden objects are so tiny that I found it difficult to find them. Plus, the hints were not in context. When I hit the hint button I received word clues about what I should be looking for. Cough! Cough! I knew what the item was, I just couldn't see the thing because it was so small. Sigh. I will buy more Faircroft games, I am sure, but not without playing the free trial. The puzzles in this one are the best part, I think. I recommend this game, with reservations.

I purchased this game after playing the promo. I had so much fun. The HOPs were colorful, interesting, and not creepy. I like to play fun Halloween Games, not necessarily the scariest. I'm not a puzzle lover but I played about 60% of these, without skipping them. That's good for me, All in all. A great game, worth the money.
I recommend this game!

Since so many reviews supplied the full storyline, I will spare you another one and just say that this game surprised me. If you're a real Hidden Object game lover this game will delight you. It has an engaging storyline and wonderful puzzles filled with twists.There are numerous interesting HO scenes and lots of puzzles.
I enjoyed the ability to switch detectives as needed, which bumped up the fun factor to the highest level. This is one of my new favorites.
Elephant Games designed a winner. The art is beautiful and although it has some paranormal creepy themes (especially the bonus game) it is not one of those dark games that can cause nightmares. (Yes, I am a wuss).This is an amazing game.
I based this review on the full game plus bonus game.
I recommend this game!

It's so nice to find a real hidden object game with a good story line. Sometimes you want an adventure game with a few hidden object tasks and sometimes you want a hidden object game. This fills the bill for the latter. I enjoyed this game tremendously.
I recommend this game!

I liked the game...great HOP potential even though the music was a little maniacal. Unfortunately, it shut my laptop down twice when I was looking for the 20 some odd keys. Not good. Deleted it at once. (Sigh)
I don't recommend this game.

Love Nora Roberts, love the series,and love the game but the resolution was so bad it limited my enjoyment. It's the first game I have ever regretted buying from Big Fish.
I don't recommend this game.
