When I need to relax I just click on one of these puzzles and the world falls away. My favorites are the HD Picture Puzzles and the Matching Pairs. Those are the most relaxing. When I feel like testing myself, I love the geography quizzes and the word games. Fun for ALL ages. Great Job! Hope to see more soon.
I recommend this game!

I just finished this little gem of a game and had to write my first review after being a club member for 10 years. The HOG's were plentiful but not too repetitive, only going back to the exact same scene twice if repeated at all. The hidden objects are tiny but the artwork is so crisp that I had no trouble locating most of the items. I only resorted to the hint once and then found that if I got up to do something else and then came back to the screen I always found the missing item(s) more easily. Most are hidden in plain sight, but a few blend into the background for more challenge. The mini games are also plentiful and way different from any others I have played over the years. They are refreshingly original, if a bit on the easy side. I had to use the walkthrough twice for a couple of puzzles that I am not strong at solving when I ran out of patience. I am not a big fan of fitting pieces together like a tangram or doing math puzzles. The story line was outstanding and I got caught up in the mystery right away. This is a great game, relaxing, and fun. I need to find more by this maker. Hope you try it and enjoy it as much as I did. Also, even though this is an SE you get a bonus of being able to go back to all the HOG scenes and look for ALL the HO's.
I recommend this game!

The quality of these games just keeps getting better; I find myself not rushing to finish a scene just so I can enjoy the little details and extra actions of critters and other scenic details in every HOG scene. Now with the CE version I can extend that fun by playing even more of the puzzles that I love between the great HOG scenes. I really love the "turn the tiles" puzzles as well as the flipsaws. The only puzzles I consistently skip in these are the ones where I have to spin the rings to make the picture; I just don't have the patience to figure out how to get everything just right so that the rings that affect other rings end up right. Also not a big fan of the move the tiles around puzzles, but I was so bad at those actual plastic ones as a child that this is no surprise. All in all, I highly recommend all of these as well as the Cruise Director series. Just straight up FUN!! What would be so very cool is if the developer could go back and compile all the puzzles for more CE versions or just a "puzzles only" game.
I recommend this game!
