  Don't have anything bad, and lots of good, to say about this game. For starters, it is SO pretty and colorful - as opposed to the "hard" black screens that so many HOGs seem to think equate with skill - that the searches are extra fun: hummingbirds, royal regalia, artifacts. Plus, the comments are often humorous and there are surpising graphics like the fish that turns into a blowfish when clicked. Butterflies on the list? Find a net and catch them. This game is lovely, charming and really fun to play. Added good stuff are the unique puzzles which were new to me in large part and the perfect level of difficulty. Tasks are reasonable to figure out and rarely repetitive. Never got frustrated; never cussed out the screen. Mostly smiled. Totally recommend this one, but it is a bit short and simple. But way fun. One small aside, there was a bug in my download which prevented me from being able to launch the game the few times I made the mistake of quitting and trying to resume. Have a question into GameHouse, but no big since I already finished. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

  It's a good game with good graphics but I don't really enjoy playing it. I guess I'm just not in to hidden object games. But fans of hidden object games should try it. I think they'll love it. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

  Beautifully drawn, animated background scenes. No crammed full junk piles here. Finding objects ist easier than in most good HOGs, but not too easy. I enjoyed the variety of minitasks, which linked in nicely with the HOG parts. Minigames and puzzles often went over several scenes. After completing a scene you do not visit the same location again. Given that you accept that archaeology is what the game makes of it - namely solving puzzles which seem to be created over centuries to take the heroine to the long lost objects and on her way taking anything she likes - the storyline is engaging and well written. I liked the relaxing yet interesting gameplay very much. And I´m looking forward to the sequel. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

  I have only good things to say about this game. The graphics, story, length, gameplay were perfect. It was the most enjoyable HO game I have played and I have a few. Level of difficulty for me was perfect- I rarley had to use a hint but had to hunt or think at times. Perfect game and anymore like this I would buy in an instant. Big Kudos to the developers of this marvelous game. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

  I remember when this game came out. I loved it and still do. Great scenery,puzzle,and quest. I had problems with my pc when the puzzle came up for it would get real sloooooowww. I could not understand why. I took the tower apart of my computer and wow... the dust bunnies took over. I always vacuummed the vents but I guess not good enough. After I tore everything apart and cleaned everything, the game worked like magic. And I was elated 'cause the game is awesome. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate
