This is based on the demo. After being so annoyed at the popouts in the last games, I decided not to buy any more like them. The popouts are irritating, slow down game play, especially when the popout indicates which action to select!, and make game playing less enjoyable.
I will say that the premise - children as detectives - is interesting.
I recommend this game!

A seek and find game from Avi that lacks in the details. Although the scenes and games are easy to see, there is not a lot of challenge. This is for a day when you don't want to think much. And, as previous games, it is plagued with misspellings, such as "sledge" for sled. Some make it difficult to know what you are looking for. This has been such a persistent issue that I wonder why Avi has not dealt with it. It is certainly not worth the collector edition price.
I recommend this game!

I like these games and have purchased the prior games, but not this time. The constant pop-ups (stars, etc) that interrupt game play or prevent you from seeing things are too irritating to continue playing. For example, when you pick up cards, a pop-up from the left emerges. When you click on it to make it go away, you ALWAYS go to another screen. Please make these things optional so we can enjoy future games.
I don't recommend this game.

I like this game and the puzzles so far (base on the trial) are interesting.
However, the names of items are often incorrect. Example (there were a number): in the first location, the item was listed as shutters. There are no shutters on the house. I finally tried the horizontal blinds, and that was what they were referring to. Blinds are very different than shutters! Please make sure the names are consistent with those used in the US if selling to US audiences.
I recommend this game!

Grade school level; way too easy. Some types of puzzles I just don't like to do and the skip does not work. Not fun.
I don't recommend this game.

We've waited TOO long! It has been almost 10 years since HTT 2, and there should be one every year. A fun game that has been updated some. Don't make us wait another 10 years for the next one.
I recommend this game!

I've enjoyed these games and purchased the previous ones. However, not this one. It is almost impossible to see many of the items. I play these for fun and enjoy a challenge. But it is no fun to play a game where the items are either so small or blend in with the background to the extent you can't see them (or both). Too bad; these used to be great games.
I don't recommend this game.

This is similar to the last game. There are many spelling errors (e.g, stake instead of steak) which made it difficult to know what to look for (does anyone proofread??). The scenes are repetitive and the time you have to wait to skip a game you don't care for is way too long.

I looked forward to spending the day playing a fun game but this was a real disappointment. The graphics are so-so, the games are the same old, and it takes no time to finish each level. Big Fish, you can do better!
I don't recommend this game.

This review is based on the trial. I've not seen hidden objects "thrown" on a scene like this before. I loved their previous games, and was expecting a more refined game. This missed the mark by a long shot. One thing that was nice was the music.
I don't recommend this game.
