Setting the way it ends aside (aforementioned by other players), this was a great game! To be honest with you, I tire of two types of game availability, SE or CE. Let's just have one game polished the way the developer wants. I applaud BigFish for throwing some different types into the mix lately.
It is enjoyable, has a casual feel, and does not contain standard Hidden Object scenes. The length was very good too. It sort of has mini-escape games and puzzles. Much different than the Hidden Object games we have playing a lot of over the past years.
I happened to like it a lot!
I recommend this game!

I enjoyed the game as it was back to what the series is about. I felt that NUMBER 10 is my least favorite of the series as it revolved around people too much. Maybe it would be nice if a future game follows a backpack trip through the park.
I recommend this game!

Although there were some fun and excellent puzzles I stumbled upon one that did not make sense according to directions (dog toy puzzle) and later was unable to continue the game because some event did not trigger character interaction appropriately. Did not manage to finish and exited the game unfortunately.
I don't recommend this game.

Dear HER INTERACTIVE: This review is dropped by one star because of the phone password puzzle that should have been sensical.
This is one of the most difficult Nancy Drew games I have played (which is almost all of them).
The game design is well made and includes secret doors and the like which is a plus. It starts out sort of slow and progresses into a more difficult level of play. After a while you are amazed at all of the game play during it that you have accomplished. Not for those that aren't good at puzzles and I cannot recommend it to a young audience due to the difficulty.
All that being said, it is a good game.
I recommend this game!

Fantastic game. I own all of the MCF games and too wish I could play through some Rube Goldberg puzzles but this gameplay was excellent. HOGs have become often completely doldrum for me as I have played so many of them. Crossfade made me excited and slightly giddy playing it as it was THAT good. I was NEVER bored and very much enjoyed the gameplay. Top notch job GrandMA Studios!
I recommend this game!

I did not like and found it unnecessary and inappropriate the writing between the chapters of this otherwise quite unusual and enjoyable game.
