Bummer. What kind of a who done it game lets you know at the beginning who the bad guy is? Sure did take away from the game play for me. The story line is excellent...so much potential..but once again in my opinion EIPIX falls short in that department. The HO scenes were fun as were most of the mini-HO's. I will say I do not like the LARGE hint tab and Large task list tab with wasted space on both sides of the screen. What that means is you must click through you inventory to find what all is there. The voice overs were good but the graphics could have been better. I played for an hour of the demo and that was sufficient for me. However, try the demo...you might find it is the right game for you.
I recommend this game!

This is a truly a fun game.....and Jack is back. I liked the story line and the morphing objects and the hidden cats.The puzzles could have been a tad more difficult and the match 3 is a little over the top with the number of times you must do it...but that seems to be the norm in games lately. Whatever needs enchanted, disenchanted etc. requires the same action over and over which tends to become stale and somewhat boring but I do love 4 Friends games and they offer a lot to keep you engage in the game. Try this and I am sure you will have fun and an immediate purchase.
I recommend this game!

I really like this game. This is a new Dev that I think will go far.
Yes, the graphics could be better but I absolutely love the story line and the old fashion solving of a murder. Everything ties into the story line. No junk piles (hoorah). The journal is great as are the clues they give you. The HOs and mini games also tie into the story. Old Fashion can be good. Just relax and solve a good mystery.

Wow, this game has a lot of back and forth....Just to make the game longer????? The graphics are good except I do not really care for the little eye that opens when you mouse over it when there is an object you need. In my opinion it takes away from the game play. Too distracting. I am on the fence about this game. I truly would like to know what happens but the HOs and Mini-games are very easy and have been done in almost every game this Dev. has developed. I will think about it before purchasing. Please try the Demo first and see what you think.

it did not live up to its potential in my opinion. I do love a Good mystery and this is one. The story line may be old in some peoples opinion....but murder it is! The graphics were poor. I realize they were going for old school...but they could have done better than what they presented in the game. There is quite a bit of back and forth which seems to be the norm in today's games. Why? I have no idea other than to make the game longer, but it is also frustrating. The morphing objects were okay but if you click on one when someone is speaking, it goes to the next scene. (Poor graphics) I will say the over-all game is boring including the HO's and puzzles. Absolutely no challenge. But I love a mystery and must find out what is going on. So yes, I recommend this game but I might wait for the SE.

I always enjoy 4 Friends Games. They are fun with a lot of variety to them. Yes, they do repeat some of the puzzles in their games but it has become a trademark for them...I think. This one should appeal to all level of players. I liked the story line and finding the hidden eggs. It also helps that they have a side bar telling you if you missed any in the scene. It helps me because I get so caught up in the story that I forget to look for them. Seeing Corgi again was like seeing an old friend. I am glad he is along my side. A definite buy for me. Try the demo and I think it will be a buy for you also.
I recommend this game!

I really wanted to like this game and to purchase it..but I won't..I will however recommend it....with reservations....Please play the demo first. I did love the graphics and the opening scene was awesome. I really did not like the story line. Perhaps if it did not require me to burn the witch and use peoples ashes for the Hexagon I would feel differently. I liked the mini games which were different and were fun. They were the only things I found fun in this game. Play the demo and make up you own mind.
I recommend this game!

I do love griddlers. The colors are vibrant and the music did not interrupt my playing. The game did seem too easy in my opinion, but perhaps it was because I was at the beginning and hopefully the puzzles get harder as you progress. I played each choice and even the hard was easy because they block off most of the puzzle that is not needed for that particular color.It is a fun game, and for newbies this is the perfect way to learn how to play and relax.
I recommend this game!

I enjoyed playing the demo. This will be a buy for me but I think I will wait for a sale. The graphics are excellent and I truly like the story line. I do think that the puzzles were much too easy. Perhaps next time they will give us a choice of easy or hard...or maybe just make them a tad more challenging. I love mazes, but I feel this one was lame. I am hooked though, because I want to solve the mystery and find out exactly what happened all those years ago. Try the demo. I am sure you will be pulled in the same as me!

I am not certain when this game first came out. But I do remember playing the demo before. This time when I finished the demo I still had 33 minutes left leading me to believe this is an older game when the demo was 1 hour. That said I do like the game. It is fun but not real challenging. I did not care much for the graphics. A lot of it is cartoonish. I liked the story line and the mini-games. All in all it is a good way to pass a few hours. I will purchase it with a coupon. Try the demo and see what you think. You may be surprised by this cute game.
