This game is NOT for the casual Match 3 player... I nearly tossed my keyboard at the screen a couple of times (those *%&*#$&##* monkeys!!!!)... Most difficult Match 3 I've played but very enjoyable and provides hours and hours of fun.... It's one I play for a while and then put aside for another day.... You won't be bored with this one, believe me!
I recommend this game!

Worth the sales price.... A nice mix of HO and puzzles, tho I still prefer fewer HO scenes as I'm not a fan of looking for hidden/lost stuff in real life OR cyber life! However, I never had to use the hints to find stuff in this game.... Nor did I have to refer to the walkthrough.... Puzzles were fun but easy.... Very easy! Story is great and overall the game is quite fun. If you need a game to relax with for a couple/three hours, this is the one for you.... If you're looking for a challenge, this is definitely NOT the one for you! :)

Very very very easy.... Even for me, who always plays in casual mode as I'm not a great fan of stress or frustration. I get enough of those in real life. But I do like a game that makes me think. This one's relaxing but a bit boring for me.... I recommend it for kids only....

I totally disagree with the previous reviews. I probably would have given it an overall rating of 4 stars had not the average rating been so low - and it definitely deserves to be higher than 2.5. A few puzzles are quite easy, but most are challenging without being ridiculously difficult - the HO's are very challenging tho - so fair warning.... One tip: most of the evidence you're seeking is very similar -- strands of hair, ashes, footprints, etc. I truly enjoyed doing part where you match up the suspect with the evidence.... Also, I would suggest you begin in easy mode until you get the hang of the game.... Enjoy!

Too many HOS for my taste.... it did have a few interesting but easy puzzles, but you need to really like HO scenes because that's what makes up 95% of this game.... The graphics however are some of the best I've seen.... I'm only recommending this game for HO lovers... If you prefer variety, you'll wanna skip this one....

Enjoyed this one thoroughly.... not too many HOG scenes; great story line; held my attention the whole way through; really looking forward to the next one in this series.... Was able to figure out what to do with very little help but needed my brain throughout. I love the ones that I can figure out with some effort but no frustration... there's enough frustration in RL as it is! ;) I never listen to the music in the games so I can't comment on that but I rate the rest highly. I rated the level of challenge as a "4" so that those who like spending hours figuring out a game won't be fooled... ;) All I can say to tie this all up is.... enjoy!

Loved it! It's even better than it's predecessor.... Again, you play three characters and have to juggle items between them, but the map makes that very easy. Keeps it interesting! Tip: leave characters in the trading chamber when you switch between them - makes it easier to keep track. You can use the map to return that character to its former position if need be. The game is challenging without being frustrating. It's nice and long and gives hours of fun. This is one I'll be playing again for sure. I'm a fan of puzzles that make you think but don't take forever to solve or drive you crazy, so this game is right up my alley. I happen to like being able to get hints for what's next right within the game and this one does that well. If you're not a fan of hints, you can play the more difficult mode -- or just not use the tools provided. Can't wait for more in this series!

This is one of my faves.... Challenging enough without being frustrating - enjoyed the interplay between the three characters and figuring out who needed what where. If you like the games that are extremely difficult, you probably won't like this one. And if you like them with no challenge at all, you won't like it either. I'm a player who likes puzzles that take some thinking, but that I can figure out without tearing my hair out or wasting an hour getting the solution -- so it was 'just right' for me. :)

Well worth the full price even... For me, in casual mode, it was nearly eight hours of great fun... The fairies aren't that hard to find btw, but I kept getting caught up in the game and forgetting to look - so I only got 48 out of 60. The puzzles aren't too hard or too easy.... Story is great and so are the graphics. Music is unobtrusive, which I prefer - I usually turn it way down but didn't need to for most of the game. If you like pure HOGs, you might want to skip this one. I'm a puzzle lover and this game is a great adventure/puzzle format. Loved it!!

Game only took me a little over two hours to complete. Puzzles are easy but fun. Makes for a nice, relaxing game but, since it's so short, I would only buy it on sale. A plus is that you can play the puzzles over after the game by clicking on "bonus content".... You can try to beat your time and play the more challenging round (which I've yet to do - I'm more into relaxing, enjoyable, non-stress games ;) One minus is that the scenes can be a bit blurry (I played in full screen). Overall, I enjoyed it but it's very short.
