I was really looking fwd to another griddlers game however I was very disappointed. From what I saw there w/b a decent storyline.
When filling in squares there was no number count showing how many I had filled or "X"'d out. On the darker colors, I wasn't able to really see the number of squares that needed filled.
For anyone wanting a real challenge, this is it. If I had gone further than 4 or 5 puzzles maybe it would have improved.

I don't recommend this game.

I've come to love all the Fantasy Mosaics games even more than the games from 8 Floor. I've been spoiled by the fact that the unnecessary squares are completed after a player has filled in the necessary ones for a row or column. A big time saver. W/Fantasy Mosaics 4: Art of Color, a player needs to be more on the ball as each puzzle has 3 parts to it. It's exasperating, but I can't stop playing it.
I recommend this game!
Halloween adventures await you in this tasty puzzle game.

This game is by the same people who brought us Asian Puzzles. There are only 6 Rooms this time, however there are more levels per room than Asian Puzzles. After several levels are played, you can purchase hints and/or misses.
I keep playing Asian Puzzles over & over. The only negative I have (4 stars) is that the X's are orange & more difficult to see than an X that is black, otherwise this is a fun game to play as a break from HO games.
Give it a try, you might just become as addictive to it as me.

I have now played this game twice, going on 3 times & decided I needed to write a review.
#1. Hints & Mistakes CAN be purchased in the store however points need to be earned 1st.
#2. This game never goes above 15 across by 10 down. For me that's a good thing. More squares means smaller squares.
#3.No storyline. It's like doing a crossword puzzle or playing solitaire. None is needed.
I have this game on my desktop & also on my laptop. I only keep about 10 games on my laptop & they need to be ones that I love to play over & over.
Please give it a try, you might be surprised.

This game reminds me of GardenScapes & FarmScapes. This game is different & fun to play for a change in scenery. The story also goes w/the today. Some of the goals are scetchy, but an enjoyable game none the less.
I hadn't gotten that far before I left to purchase.
This looks to be a game that can be played over & over.
This is a game that can "cleanse your palate" between the "dark & scary" games.

The title tells it all. This was my 1st game of this type to play. It reminds me of Big Kahuna Reef in that I plan to do just 1 or 2 levels (puzzles) & end up playing SO many more. For this game, once I discovered I could hold down the mouse button & break or fill in all the squares, I would end up using the wrong button on the squares. Had to restart several puzzles because of it.
It's a good game for a break in the normal routine. I've finished it already & will make it a "go to" game when I'm bored w/my Hidden Object games.

I'm happy to report that after trying it, I bought it.
Although it is a "dark & stormy night" type game, I'm thoroughly enjoying myself. So far I'm not rushing around w/some horrible deadline to meet.
This game has many things that others ask for:
Map for movement
Voice-overs
Morphing objects
Helpful Hint button
Even if you haven't tried the 1st game, give this one a try.

Totally unexpected. I really like this game as a change from the normal HO games. I enjoy doing crossword puzzles on a "hard" copy, but have never tried as a computer game. This experience could just give me more options for game play.
I've only done the 1st two puzzles on the first level, however if the rest is like the first--what fun! I don't even mind finding out how long each puzzle takes me or even the stars given. Just seeing that w/the assistance of the firefly/butterfly I haven't had to use a hint. It will also show how many misclicks for each puzzle.

I've played the demo time & I have purchased the game.
As others have already stated this game has no VO's & you must click through the conversations. I don't mind this too much. My biggest complaint is how one needs to move from scene-to-scene. Very cumbersome. That is why I've only given it 3 stars.
I do recommend anyone who likes a Hidden Object Game or anyone who has played & purchased the other "Mystery Agency" games to give it a try.
I hadn't planned to purchase, however the story drew me in. I'm a sucker for mysteries.
Good gaming!

Storyline kept me moving fwd. Objects to find were cleverly hidden. Mini games were good. I was surprised by the ending. Was expecting something different, however It was a pleasant surprise.
The Hint button was helpful whenever I wasn't sure what to do next or where to go.
Enjoy.
