I really enjoyed playing this game with all of the innovative puzzles, especially the champagne bottles!
This game held my interest from beginning to end, and was a delight to play! Exploring the mansion, searching for hidden objects and solving numerous puzzles created hours of entertainment!
Graphics were clear, and game played smoothly!
Eagerly anticipating future releases from this developer!
I recommend this game!

This game was so engrossing and such an enjoyment to play, that I was actually saddened when the bonus content was completed. Absolute perfection as far as a hidden object puzzle adventure game is concerned!
I am a puzzle fanatic and when I came across Reversi, also known as Othello, I was in heaven!
The game had just the right amount of hidden object scenes with crisp graphics. The storyline held my interest throughout the entire game, that of which you are the aunt entrusted to save your family. The artistry was superb!
This game includes puzzles similar to Othello, minesweeper, lights out, match3, and so many more which now makes this game my favorite so far! One other item, which is of utmost importance when playing a game, is that it was glitch free!
Thank you Big Fish and developer for providing hours of entertainment!
I recommend this game!

Thanks to the developer for another splendid Snark Busters game! This game is just pure FUN!
How I enjoyed traipsing through the alternate mirror worlds, and bantering with ghosts while trying to solve the mystery of the missing necklace and clear my fiance's good name.
The placement of fragmented objects into circles is one of my favorites!! The puzzles were easy, objects were clear with colorful scenes, and there were no glitches at least on this old computer!
I'm looking forward to the next installment and quest to finally capture the elusive snark!
I recommend this game!

WOW! This game has all the elements that I could ever want in a HOPA, and a CE! First, please let me say how much I enjoyed watching the 13 steps in making a game under the bonus category! Bringing children to the office, sleeping at the office, eating at the office, etc just goes to show the DEDICATION that went into making this one of the BEST games of 2012! I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this game, as well as the puzzles and extra hidden object scenes in the extras section!
The storyline was superb, that of a sister trying to save her brother from a revengeful half-sister that neither knew existed. The graphics, music, story, cutscenes, movies, and characters were all outstanding!
The outstanding artistry, along with many, many rooms to explore, interactive hidden objects, puzzles, and cliffhanger only makes me anticipate the next release!
Kudos to the developer and many thanks for hours of sheer entertainment!
I recommend this game!

This game was just SUPERB!! I thought Sins of the Father was the best of the best, but this one sets the bar even higher! Incredible is the closest adjective to describe this game!
Visually stunning videos and graphics, especially the individual videos for each coin! I don't think Skyrim or Diablo can touch those graphics! The hands and fingers of the protector of the chest were just stunning!
The story of trying to rescue your daughter from a ghostly pirate was well-developed from beginning to end. The hidden object scenes were just right! The option to play mahjong was a nice touch!
The puzzles were a little on the easy side, but in no way deters my opinion that the game was just incredible and fun to play.
The bonus was too short, only because I would have loved to have kept playing!!
Thank you to the developers and all the artists that made this final product! I cannot wait until you release your next game!
I recommend this game!

This game delivered and satisfied my appetite for an adventure game without hidden objects, served by none other than one of my favorite developers, ERS!
I do enjoy hidden object games, but was in the mood for an adventure game with puzzles that kept the story and search going forward in lieu of stopping to search through hidden object scenes. The opening video was intriguing, and just the right amount of mystery to want to finish searching for the kidnapped child, all the while unraveling the mysterious Penumbra Motels' past. This game did remind me of Alfred Hitchcock's movie, Psycho. Of course, the excellent graphics were true to form from ERS, as well as the soundtrack to accompany the different scenes. The videos with live character interaction are always a PLUS in my book! The puzzles were fun to play and solve!
I hope ERS continues to release these type of games, as well as continue with the excellent hidden object games!
Thank you for a very enjoyable afternoon playing this remarkable and lengthy game!
I recommend this game!

This game was truly enthralling, from the opening scene to the ending scene. The game entailed trying to resolve as to why patients disappeared from the asylum. Spooky music enhances the atmosphere of the game. In my opinion, just the right amount of interactive hidden objects to collect necessary items. I really enjoyed completing the adventure! Thank you for also adding morphing objects as well.
The puzzles were great! Two of the puzzles kept me busy for a long time. Loved the achievement at the end indicating completed all puzzles without using the skip!
I cannot get over the length of this game! There were so many rooms to explore and equally, a number of tasks! I am really looking forward to the next release, "Frozen".
Thank you Big Fish and to the developer for such an outstanding game!
I recommend this game!

This is a really great Nancy Drew game! I believe this game was the most challenging of all that I have played thus far. I thought the dancing and avoidance of the robots were hard in Phantom of Venice, herding the sheep in Castle Malloy, playing against the monkeys in Seven Seas, finding all the ghosts in Blackmoore Manor, but this one was even more challenging. I thoroughly enjoyed playing the snowball game, and the fox & geese game. It really is fun to play detective, and try to figure out who is the culprit. Nancy has to find out who is trying to scare off the guests at the lodge.
I very much recommend this game!

This game was unique. It had more of an adventure feel and I quite enjoyed the puzzles! Finding music notes, moving the stairway to access different areas, finding objects that changed in order to collect her soul, all added to the enjoyment of playing this game!
The hidden object scenes were plentiful and not too crowded.
Thank you to the developer and Big Fish!
