A fairly enjoyable game, although it does have some flaws. The storyline was intriguing even though there were some gaps. The graphics were excellent, really sharp & clear, & I found the puzzles & mini-games challenging, but not frustrating.
The games main flaw is the incessant backtracking, often across the entire map to find things to make the game progress, at times excessive to the point of frustration. Also, without giving anything away, the game ending was also a little strange, as it left many questions unanswered, hopefully these are followed up in the sequel.
A really enjoyable game. Gorgeous graphics & music, an interesting story with good plot twists. Good hint feature, fun mini puzzles which were challenging at times, with the ability to skip if needed. The game also has 2 modes for those that like a challenge.
Also, very happy with the additional content, it is a little adventure in itself that is long enough to be worth the price, & was a colourful follow-on from the game.
Not like the usual Nancy Drew fair, & with all the negative reviews in the forum, I thought I wouldn't like this game, but decided to give it a go, & I am glad I did.
This is more like a hidden object game, rather than the usual Nancy Drew adventure game, however, it is not a typical hidden object game either, you need to match items rather than finding a list of things or fragments. The game is light hearted & fun, with nice visuals, & fairly linear game-play. As mentioned, some of the timed mini-puzzles are challenging, but for the most part the puzzles are not hard
I recommend this game!

Visually stunning game, with an interesting story & enjoyable characters. The game is quite challenging, & I wouldn't recommend it for beginners. There is not much of an explanation on how to do things, so if you have played adventure games before you could figure it out with trial & error, but I could see how confusing it would be for beginners. However, the game is definitely compelling & beautifully crafted, so highly recommended.
While this game was ok, it was a bit of a disappointment compared to the first Mystery Trackers game, which I loved.
There was no real storyline, & way too much traipsing all over the place, and constantly having to go back & forth, instead of being able to do things in a more logical sequence. I really liked the diary in the first game, & found it very helpful, but the video diary in this one was just a waste of time. Some of the puzzles I found irritating, while I like to be challenged, some of the puzzles in this game I found down right confusing, & had to resort to the walk-through to work out what to do.
Having said all this, I do not regret buying it. I think it is more I played the 2 games too close together & was maybe comparing them too much.
A wonderful fairy tale with an interesting twist, very enjoyable.
The story is entertaining, with lovely graphics & a very helpful map, which helped eliminate the tediousness of backtracking. It is a fragmented hidden object game, so a bit more entertaining than the usual fair. Good Hint feature. The mini puzzles were interesting, & challenging at times. The game also has 2 modes for those that like a challenge.
Fairly enjoyable game. My main problem was the length, seemed a bit short, & without giving anything away, I thought the ending a bit weak. However, in saying that, the game was enjoyable, with gorgeous graphics, & interesting puzzles. There is also a nice mix of 'adventuring' inter-spaced with challenging hidden object scenes.
Very enjoyable game, starts of a little slow, but you are greatly rewarded if you persist, and if you persist, the story is interesting & has some unusual twists. The graphics are lovely, but the music is a bit monotonous, although for the majority of games I turn the music right down, so not a huge deal. The game also includes challenging hidden object searches, & creative mini-games.
Enjoyable game, with an interesting story, lovely clear graphics, & spooky ambience. A good combination of hidden object scenes & puzzles, although the puzzles sometimes were a little easy. The game has sparkles, which is a big negative for some, but I found them fairly unobtrusive.
Just a note, there are many comments in the forum about small & dark graphics, but I didn't find this at all, & had no problems on my laptop.
Enjoyable game for the most part. Nice graphics, a few too many hidden object scenes for me, as almost all items needed in game come from them, but the scenes are not to difficult, so it doesn't become overly tedious. Most of the puzzles are easy-medium difficulty but enjoyable.
The main downfall of the game for me, was sometimes it was hard to figure out what to do next, which led to a lot backtracking, a map would have been helpful.
