Another episode of THE CURIO SOCIETY from DOMINI GAMES. I just finished and enjoyed the demo of this game. It has amazing graphics and scenery. The audio and sound effects are very good.
Agent M from the society is on another mission. This time to recover a very powerful artifact that can turn the humans of the world into virtual cyborgs. Living, breathing, flesh and blood, but devoid of any and all emotions, ready to do the bidding of their new master.
Trying to stop the villains is easier said than done. The agent managed to get close, but wasn't quick enough to avoid an attack. Henceforth, the hero is in danger again and needs rescuing.
There are morphing objects and Rorschach cards to collect and HOS and mini games aplenty to keep players interested. A map for easier travelling from one scene to another, set tasks to do and a journal to keep you up to date.
I recommend this game for players of all level of skill.
I recommend this game!

I just finished playing the demonstration and enjoyed it a lot. However, the evil queen took Ice, my dog and I want him back. I guess I have to buy the game so that I can rescue him.
The graphics are excellent as are the audio and special effects. I am a big fan of dragons and all things fantasy. Games such as these mystical mythological games help us to escape for awhile, the everyday things we go through.
I wait with anticipation for the next new games to come out and this game I am definitely going to purchase. It has everything I want in a game. Fantasy, Magical Creatures, Dragons, good storyline and just true blue escapism. I really enjoy the games more when there is interaction between the characters and when a helper is included in the stories. That is why I have to finish this game, to rescue Ice. As always the heroine receives help along the way from a myriad of interesting characters. The mini-games and HOS are interesting and varied. I found the storyline keeps you interested in as much as you want to see what the heroine receives in obtaining magical powers along the way. So far she has two. I can't wait to see what her next power will be.
Hopefully there will be another episode to follow this one, the first in what I hope will become a series, especially if Ice is included as helper.
I recommend this game!

I only played this game for about 30 minutes and found it very enjoyable. Oddly enough the story is about a town named Glanville (I was born in a small beach town called Fort Glanville here in Australia), so obviously the bio I read on this game caught my attention. I glad it did. Glanville has been attacked by giant Golems and the Royal Detective has been asked to investigate. Along with the help of the gnome who relates parts of Glanville's history you have the help of one of the elvan miners from the previous games, along with a small clay golem that you have make your self. Most of the townspeople have fled and other than your helpers you are on your own to try and find out who is behind these attacks and bringing the golems to life. Along the way there are collectibles and morphing objects to look out for and a variety of different HOS games and minigames to keep the interest alive.
The storyline is very good.
Graphics amazing.
Sound quality is brilliant.
Have purchased one game from this series and beta-tester the other one, but so far I like this one best of all.
I recommend this game for all levels of expertise. Thumbs up.

I already have the previous two games of this series and all I can say is that they keep getting better and better.
I loved this episode of Susan's adventures. Her character is brilliant. Susan is fearless, thoughtful, generous and kind. Nothing is too much trouble for her. It was great to see Maaron back along with Susan. They make a terrific team. This time, along for the ride, is Maaron's young granddaughter, Fiora. She reminds of my daughter, Tabatha, who talks ten-to-the-dozen and never takes a breath (for non Aussies, chatterbox and talks really fast). She is a delight. Together they fight four indomitable foes. They travel through the amazing Lost Lands finding adventures along the way. I was impressed with the graphics, colour, sound and overall quality of the game. The mini-games were excellent and the HOS games different and interactive. What made it more enjoyable were the voiceovers between the characters. The bonus chapter was very good, but I preferred the main game. There were also lots of collectibles and morphing objects to find and manuscripts describing the history of the Lost Lands.
Out of the three this is my favourite and rated in my top five (5). I love the character Susan and I look forward to seeing her in another adventure very, very soon. Next to Elf and his offsider she is third (3) on my list of favourite characters.
I recommend this game for all players, regardless of experience in hidden object games.
Thank you

I have been playing for less than an hour and I am very happy with the fifth game of this series. I already have the other four games and they are very good.
The quality of the graphics, sound and special effects are all excellent. The HOS segments varied and enjoyable. I love the mini games.
The storyline is interesting. You, as an agent of the CCPP, must stop the Watchers of another dimensional world from taking control before they eventually invade Earth. A visitor, named Kraixx, came from another world through a portal seeking yours and Professor Bennett's help. The three of you go through the portal, but become separated. You then have to make your way through collectibles, HOS and minigames to be able to meet the Professor and Kraixx in the city.
There is a map to make the travel from each scene easier.
There are owl collectibles along the way to collect, so keep an eye out for them.
This is a game for the regular players of Hidden Object games. It will take you through beautiful scenery and also their are interesting facts to learn along the way about Kraixx's world.
An all-round enjoyable game and I recommend this game.
I recommend this game!

I downloaded this game to play before buying. Ten minutes in, I bought the game. Graphics, voiceovers, sound and storyline excellent. I was especially happy to see ELF again, I have missed him. I am an enormous fan of Mystery Trackers and have ALL of their games. I especially love the ones with ELF. Each of the games have gotten better and better. The graphics and special effects are brilliant and the stories are great. Love the collectors items,in this game, some of which you will have look for, but it makes these games much more fun and interactive. The HOS games are brilliant and varied. Keep the Mystery Trackers coming as their games are for everyone from beginner to expert. I loved the scenery. The graphics have been so well done everything looks realistic. I think the detective character in Mystery Trackers games she is my favourite out of all the heroes in all of my games I have bought and combining her with ELF, they make a funtastic team. Only one negative, like one of the other reviewers comments I read, they were right and the fact that it does take a long time between cut scenes and I was sitting here looking at a black screen. A little frustrating, but worth the wait. Good work Elephant Games and keep ELF coming. Big fan!!!!!!

THIS IS ONE OF MY TOP TEN GAMES. IT WAS DIFFERENT, INTERESTING, ENJOYABLE, FRUSTRATING, ABSORBING, FUNTASTIC. ONE FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY OR ANYBODY WHO IS LOOKING FOR SOMETHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY. GRAPHICS, STORYLINE, INTERACTION, PUZZLES, HIDDEN OBJECT SCENES WERE AMAZING. MORE GAMES LIKE THIS ONE AND WE WOULD NEVER GET ANY WORK DONE. WE COULD NOT STOP UNTIL THE GAME WAS FINISHED. THE THING i LIKED ABOUT IT WERE THE VOICE-OVERS. IT MADE US FEEL LIKE WE WERE IN THE GAME. SOME OF THE MINI GAMES WERE DIFFICULT, BUT DETERMINATION IS ALL THAT IS NEEDED, ALONG WITH BRAIN POWER, TO ACHIEVE A WIN.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS GAME AND HAVING BEEN BORN IN 1952 I WAS ABLE TO RELATE. IT WAS LIKE AN OLD SCI FI MOVIE BROUGHT INTO THE 21ST CENTURY. BEING AN AVID SCI FI NUT, THIS GAME WAS RIGHT UP MY ALLEY. TRY IT! i DARE YOU.
