When I saw that this game was a throwback to the original Ravenhearst, I got super excited! It was the game that got me interested in the hidden object games. My very first purchase from Big Fish Games back in 2007. I have bought 100s of games since then but my favorite serie is the Mystery Case Files. They used to be better made, true. But some of them are still very entertaining. Comparing this game to the original Ravenhearst (which I replayed after playing this game) the original was harder. The H.O. scenes are more cluttered and the objects blend in to the background sometimes. The locked door puzzles were harder also. I had to use a hint or a walkthrough on almost all of them! I ended up replaying chapters also because the time ran out and the H.O. scenes did not have the exact same lists, so you had to find mostly new items! In the rewind version, if you have to replay a level (which I did a couple of times because I played on the timed version) the list is exactly the same and super easy the second time through.
I still prefer the original, but this game was super fun and I would like to see more like it!!
I recommend this game!

You can't top the original Phantasmat but usually you can count on this series to have interesting storylines and outside the box thinking. The mini-games are fun to play, as well as the hidden object scenes. This particular game is not my favorite of this series but still fun to play.
I recommend this game!

I like the games that have a storyline that is well written and it keeps its interest throughout the game. The mini-games were fun to play and the H.O. scenes were fun as well. I liked this game, but it isn't one of my top 10 favorites. However, I think the replay factor is an 8 out of 10. It would be fun the 2nd time also, if I wait a year or more so that I forget most of the game.
I recommend this game!

It seemed that I was playing a puzzle every 5 minutes in this game, which was great! I love the puzzles the best! Even better, there was a hard/easy choice for the puzzles which means my grandkids can play and beat most of the easy games. When I play these games with my grandkids, we take turns playing the puzzles. When it's one of their turns, I put it on easy. When it's my turn, I usually put it on hard but it depends on the kind of puzzle it is.
This game was very long. It took me several days to finish the whole thing (bonus chapter too). There were tons of puzzles in the bonus chapter also, which was quite lengthy.
I liked switching characters, it made the game more interesting and fun.
The only part of the game that I didn't love was the storyline because it was so farfetched but it wasn't as bad as some I've seen. The game wasn't filled with devils, demons, ghosts, witches, seances, etc. so that is a BIG plus!!
I enjoyed the game and will play it again someday.
I recommend this game!

I enjoyed playing this game. The storyline was interesting. The mini-games were fun and plentiful. I even liked the bonus chapter. I didn't find all of the collectables or souvenirs so I was happy to have the option (after I finished the bonus game) to go back to the scenes to find all the stuff! I will play this one again!
I recommend this game!

I thought this game was fun to play. I especially liked the mini-games. The storyline was far-fetched, of course, but still interesting. I wouldn't mind playing it again in a year or 2. The game took me several days to finish it, playing it several hours everyday.
I recommend this game!

Everything is top-notch in this delightful game! I loved playing it from beginning to end. There were so many mini-games and they were fun to play! Perfect level of challenge, I only had to skip one! Great game! I will be replaying this one! (and I usually don't replay most games) There were oodles of video clips that kept the story line moving and kept my interest in the game. I really didn't find anything negative about this game. I hope this is the first of many in a new series!
I recommend this game!
