Of course, Elf is a bonus! Gamma option is a huge plus because the scenery is rather dreary and drab with a splash of color. Graphics are good, but noticed small print to explain several tasks, oodles of back and forth to complete most all tasks, but the hint does transport most of the time. I disliked the constant running back and forth to complete everything and found it annoying since I prefer a move forward game style
Soon into the trial a task required me to find a screw driver to tighten a door latch at the doctor’s house…you mean he hasn’t entered his home until my character arrived? Really made me wonder who wrote the story line, just a dumb task or a task to consume time.
Hidden object games were nicely crafted with clear object images and there wasn’t a multitude of mini games to break up the continuity, which is a big plus. The characters were nicely developed and animation was good, but that infernal sound that occurs with each move is extremely annoying and absolutely unnecessary.
The above issues of back and forth and the noise after each move determined why I won’t purchase this game, but I’m extremely picky. Elf usually sways my decision but not this time. However, for many fans I’m sure these issues won’t be a problem. I will recommend the game because of the plus features.
I recommend this game!

Enjoyable game. Excellent graphics. Love the cute dog, but not so sure I'm into the volcano theme, but the game moved forward with interesting tasks. Hidden object games were well done with variety and clarity of objects. Mini games are well crafted but not a fan of them, so I skipped most of them. I would recommend this game just for the attention to graphics, details and characters. Too bad the volcano theme was a sad sack.
I recommend this game!

Excellent graphics with attention to detail and décor as well as characters attire. The story moves forward without a lot of back and forth which I appreciate. Hidden Objects games were well-crafted with attention to design and clarity of objects. Mini games were doable and not exceptionally time consuming. On that note, however, I don't enjoy the match games that repeat 3 times but they do require strategy to complete without leaving a token standing! The voice overs and dialogue were well done. I decided to purchase this game after the trial run.
I recommend this game!

Beautifully crafted graphics, scenes and characters with detail to attention to design and environment.
Unfortunately, the child, woman and conductor in the introduction, though well-crafted, were rather wooden in animation. Developers need to remember that the introduction is what pulls a player into the game! Later the characters were animated which made it much more interesting.
This developer makes it a delight to see what comes next and didn’t disappoint throughout the entire trial. The tasks, hidden object games and even the mini games were a pleasure to see.
The hidden object games in the squirrel’s nest were beautiful, even if some of the objects took a bit of time to find. The mini games were enjoyable and well-crafted and I’m not even a fan of them.
The story did move forward nicely but unfortunately with a few too many back and forth tasks. If this developer could create games that moved forward with the same continuity, they would get all 10 of my votes!
Overall the visual excellence of this game pulled me in to the story and those little things that often annoy me were not even noticed and that’s saying a lot for the game!
I’m giving this one a 5 because of all the work and attention to the little things and believe this developer deserves that rating!
I recommend this game!

I am not a fan of Eipix, but I always believe in giving another chance. This one had an interesting story, well-crafted hidden object games and even a plus to the mini games. Tasks were well thought out and offered a variety of game play options. So far in the trial, no key locks and no potions to mix up!
The hint transported you to the next task which is a very nice option.
The hint transported you to the next task which is a very nice option.
Characters varied in development and animation from good to you got to be kidding! Some of the character animation was awkward, Valerio behaved like a robot a couple of times and an intruder in the museum walks off the ship in slow motion…really? Also, the forced accents were just distracting. Editing and more attention to detail might be something to reconsider in the future.
My problem with Eipix is that they fall short by repeating continued annoying oversights. In this presentation, in the introduction (which is what pulls a player into the story and makes them want to continue) the Senator aboard looks like a fleshy teenager. I almost stopped playing at that point, but trudged onward. Anyone who has read history or watched a movie would have an image of a Senator as a mature and/or an older citizen! However, the introduction, other than the Senator blooper, would pull you into the story. Nicely crafted.
Graphics were washed out in a number of locations, like gamma had been turned low. That surprised me. The music was again repetitious and annoying and I turned it off after 5 minutes. Then there was the constant clunk when you click on an item that was not ready or not usable and that became extremely annoying very quickly and why is that even necessary?
Most annoying in this offering, when you are required to utilize your tool kit you must align 3 circles every time, spare me with that boring and redundant game play! And, the flash light provided in the tool kit was almost worthless to light up any scene.
Overall, I gave this one a 4 because I can't give it a 3.. It did have an interesting story line and the tasks, hidden object games and mini games were crafted with detail, no hidden dark corners in the hidden object games so far, and the mini games were visually attractive and not too complicated but still challenging.
Turn off the music, get used to aligning 3 circles and block out the repetitive clunks and you might enjoy this game. For me, I am not purchasing it because of the negative factors I pointed out, but that is what annoys me. I’m sure others won’t be bothered by those little thing and will enjoy this game for the content. Or just take the trial run and see for yourself!
I recommend this game!

Excellent graphics and characters with detailed scenery and décor. Everything I want and expect in a game and I played all the Bridge series, but this one was way too predictable and I thought a rather dull and boring concept and it just didn't have enough concept to make me want to move forward with it.
Hidden object games were well done as were the mini games, but too many mini games for my taste.
I hope developers can put on their "thinking" caps and come up with some new and innovative ideas vs. depending on old fairy tales and classics.
I recommend this game!

Very good graphics and interesting story, but characters overplayed their roles to the point of corny dialogue. Hidden objects were difficult to find and too many mini games for my taste. Completed the trial and this might have been a game I'd consider purchasing but I just can't handle badly written dialogue when in my opinion that is one of the key components to development of a good story. To be fair take the trial run, see what you think.
I don't recommend this game.

Lack of creativity with characterization and voice animation. Fair scenery, but poor graphics. Introduction was bad with horrid graphics which left a bad impression from start. Just same old stuff. Didn't see anything new or innovation to pull me in. Didn't finish trial. Try it yourself to see what you think.
I don't recommend this game.

Poor initial introduction. Immediately turned me off..confused wooden character, duh! Not a great way to pull a player into a game. After it actually started it wasn't so bad except that the characters are wooden, they talk too much, and this story just didn't hold my interest, felt old. When carnival was mentioned, that was enough for me. I don't enjoy carnival or circus themes. It seems this was old development vs. new concepts. Just lacked something. But to be fair, take the trial run to see what you think and make your own judgment.
I don't recommend this game.

Graphics, voice overs and characters were superbly developed and crafted,Their clothes were designed with attention to detail and visually pleasing. Also, dialogue was well written.This game is a visual delight. I just want to see what is next.
Also, I found the hidden object games filled with interesting and clearly identifiable items, the mini games were well designed even if I don't like mini games
It's been a long time since I've been impressed by development to detail and quality of design in a game.This developer stepped up to bring us a game that we can enjoy viewing and with crafting that made me want to see more. Honestly, if the story is lacking in context for some reason, and I hope not, I know the visual quality will be enough for me to enjoy it.
I'm going to purchase this game!
I recommend this game!
