This in my opinion is just an okay game. The story line is cute but the tasks are the same as most all Domini games. Also, there is, as usual, the back and forth to make the game longer. And why when you click on an item they MUST show a large BLUE shape of an item you will need to use with that item. Do they really need to make their games that easy or do they believe we could not figure it out for ourselves? I do like the story line but it could have used a lot more Christmas Happiness. Please try this game. It is Christmas almost. Perhaps next year Domini will release a fun filled Christmas story. Merry Christmas
I recommend this game!

Oh, this is a GEM of a game. Yes, it is old school but such fun. I bought it and am so sad it will not play. I had my computer guy do what Big Fish Website said to do for freezing...but sadly it did not work. He also said I do have the latest video card so that is not the problem either. However, at least try this game. It makes you think (which is a good thing) and it has all the elements of seeking, searching, finding, and figuring out what to do. You can always go to Mr. Tall and ask him what to do-he will make you laugh. Enjoy TRY THIS GAME!
I recommend this game!

Oh how I want to purchase this game. It has everything I love in it. Graphics are beautiful and the game play is fun. But I got as far as saving the elephant and the game just locked up and I could not do anything. I uninstalled and re-installed and it locked up again at the exact same place. I am playing on Windows 8.1 and have not had this problem before. But I suggest you definitely try it and hopefully you will not have this problem. I hope Big Fish can check into it. It is a fantastic Game.
I recommend this game!

Wow, I love this game. I purchased it without playing the demo and I have no regret. The story line is great. The graphics are super and I love the voiceovers. I also love that you can choose more puzzles or more HO's. Replay value at its best. It has plenty of collectables along with morphing objects. I loved the HO that was morphing objects that you had to choose at the right moment. Definitely give this game a try. I am sure you will have fun.

What a great change from the same ole same ole HO's we seem to have these days. This is FUN. The story is cute and the characters are cool as are the graphics. Very colorful and does have puzzles thrown into the mix...Just a good, fun game. Try the demo and I am sure you will be hooked....just like I was.

I truly am enjoying the story line but I am an intermediate player and I have played the mini games on hard and they are all way too easy. There is very little challenge in this game. I like the HOP's they are different and do offer some challenge. I think the graphics in this game are poor for Domini which used to be one of the leading devs. A lot of the story line does not make sense but I can overlook that because there is suspense in finding the killer. The collectables are just so so. No fun looking for morphing objects. Oh, the one collectable does morph but is kind of pathetic. I am sure you will enjoy the game. Just do not expect a lot of challenge. I hope Domini goes back to what they did best. Happy Gaming.
I recommend this game!

I believe quite a few of you will not like this game, but if you just give it some time and play through the demo, I believe you will change your mind. The attention to the details and small tasks is phenomenal. This game is an old fashioned HO mystery. The graphics could be better but in my opinion that does not deter from the game. The puzzles are fun. Even changing the tire on the car gave me a giggle...haven't done that in years. This is a buy for me as I am tired of all the same old same old games that today's devs come out with.
This is a refreshing and well thought out story. Give it a whirl!

I purchased this game without trying the demo because I truly liked the 1st Paint By Numbers. It was fun, relaxing, and had a mixture of brilliant colorful paintings. Some of them to me were awesome because they were intricate and took some concentration which is also a get-away-from day to day "stuff". This one, while it is relaxing, does not compare to the first one. There are very few colors used and the pictures remind me of coloring when I was a kid. I find it sad. To me it seemed as though they threw this game together when had they taken their time, it would have been a much, much better Paint by Numbers. I will recommend it because it is relaxing and not a horrible game...just could be better.
I recommend this game!

The key work here is FUN, which this game delivered to me.
I understand this will not be everyone's cup of tea, but if you have been a BF customer for a long time I believe you will appreciate this game.
Yes, it does repeat scenes but each time the list is different and some of those are jumbled lists and other such things. Some of the HO's are small or dark but to me that is part of the fun of trying to find it. The puzzles are unique and not really hard.
You can choose the easiest in settings and it is a pleasant untimed journey. You can get a lot of help along the way should you choose to.
Give this gem of a game a try. Hopefully you will enjoy and have FUN.

This review is based on the 90 minute demo. I must say the graphics are terrific and the colors are beautiful. Everything is very crisp and clean....except for the dirt in the scenes. LOL
The HO are the ones we are most familiar with but a few I have not encountered before which is cool. The puzzles are not very difficult at least in the demo. I do like the story line, which I will not get into since others have already done that. The demo did leave me with wanting to know more and how it will all end so this is a buy for me. I own most of the Nevertales but not all of them. Some were not to my liking. This one however seems to hold some promise, so it is a buy for me,especially during this time of staying home. I know I will enjoy playing. Try the demo and see if you too will have some fun.
