The graphics are subpar lacking in detail but colorful. Makes it hard to find things especially in HOPs. The music is conventional, not impressive.
Some puzzles are hard, 1 was funky, another didn't work right. There are some tricky Hops, with embedded puzzles. Some items to apply are not so apparent.
You have a map to help you navigate but not where to go next, you have to refer to the hint interface.
There is 1 easter eggs to find, 50 owls. Some are easy to find while others are hard- embedded in puzzles and HOPs. Warning, if you fail to find the owl before you complete the puzzle or HOP, you can't go back and get it.
There are lots of customization and a good strategy guide. This is where the detective meets his partner dog.
I recommend this game!

The game has OK colorful cartoon graphics. It has a variety of mood music at a chamber music format, light hearted, not heavy. You can play it untimed or timed in easy or hard modes. Although it's face appearance seems developed for kids the complexity, especially in timed mode, is on an adult level. So start the little ones in untimed and then let them progress to timed if they fell so motivated.
I finished all the levels in easy timed mode with many quite challenging.
On every level there is a puzzle easter egg in the form of a clock that translate to a puzzle piece. It has a tutorial and a basic strategy guide to set you off in the right direction.
Plenty of challenging levels to keep you busy for hours.
I recommend this game!

The graphics are of reasonable detail and colorful. The music is western style, OK.
The puzzles are not hard although 1 was funky and the last one was an arcade type. There are some tricky Hops, with embedded puzzles. Some items to apply are not so apparent.
You have a map to help you go where you need to and to find artifacts.
There are 3 easter eggs to find, wanted posters, morphing western items and money to buy stuff for the saloon in extras. You have map indicators to get a heads ups. Items are readily found.
There are lots of custimizations and a good strategy guide. Nice extras from the easter eggs.
I recommend this game!

The Graphics are of good detail and colorful. The music was not very tantalizing.
I was not able to complete all puzzles without skipping or hints. There are some tricky Hops, one was real hard for finding all the objects. There are 2 real hard puzzles that I had to use the strategy guide on. 2 hard puzzles were funky.
You have a map to help you go where you need to and to find artifacts.
There are 2 easter eggs to find, Jugs located by device and Stained Glass pieces. You have map indicators that tell you when one of the items are at hand. Not hard to find but you have to pay attention in each scene.
There are lots of customizations and a good strategy guide. Nice extras from the easter eggs. There is an extra bonus object find game in the bonus area.
I recommend this game!

The game has the usual colorful cartoon graphics. It has a good variety of mood music, some good and some not so good. You can play it untimed, timed in easy or hard modes. It plays much like previous games minus some easter eggs. I finished all the levels in easy timed mode with many quite challenging.
On every level there is a puzzle easter egg, some very well hidden. No guides, just an online tutorial. You need to find all the easter eggs to complete the puzzle to open up the bonus game to that section. You can do this in untimed mode and then change the mode level to a timed mode, if you like, to replay the levels in that mode. You don't have to refind the easter eggs once you find them in any mode change or replay.
To build the clock castle you have to play all the levels in a timed mode and get 3 stars.
Plenty of levels to keep you busy for hours.
I recommend this game!

The game has balanced, colorful cartoon graphics. It has a good variety of mood music. You can play it untimed, timed in easy or hard modes. I finished all the levels in easy timed mode with many quite challenging.
On some levels there is an owl easter egg, some very well hidden. Only the guides, as they become available, will tell you if there is an owl on the level. It won't alter the outcome of the game.
Plenty of levels to keep you busy for hours.
I recommend this game!
