Storyline
5/ 5
The game follows the adventures of a PI as she solves a mystery. Objects collected from various scenes form disguises (hence "masquerade" in the title) that one puts together and uses to advance. Unlike many hidden object games, this is not limited to a "collect everything in one scene, move to the next, collect everything, move to the next" mode. Instead, in several stages the player gets to travel back and forth among several rooms to collect objects before advancing to the next stage. (not too difficult since hidden objects are highlighted in the appropriate rooms). The challenges (except 1) where just challenging enough to be fun without being too difficult. Importantly, the game was engaging and fun without drifting into dark, evil or creepy (the requisite "bad guy" and accomplices were present but the game contained nothing twisted or dark - why can't more games be like this?!).
Hidden object game with engaging story line, refreshingly free of Dark, Evil or Weirdness!

This is a fabulous game to play w/ teens/kids. My entire family liked the hidden object scenes (challenging enough but not too hard), the need to combine found objects to advance the game, escape from one room/ scene to the next, etc.
It seems some hidden object games have little or no plot line or if they do have a plot line contain a disturbingly dark twist. We played the 1st Escape the Museum & liked it, I think this one was even better. I would love to see more along the lines of this game, please!!!
