Hidden object games can be littered with all kinds of goodies to find. Keys, canoes, cookies - you name it, you'll find it (if you're skilled enough) in a hidden object game.

That's the question PopCap Games is posing in Hidden Agenda, their first free-to-play hidden object game for Facebook.

Most hidden object games are meant to relax us, and let us slowly pick apart a room to find that last hidden banana peel. Not Mystery Manor Blitz. Here, time is very much a factor, and players will race against the clock to turn each room inside-out. The exciting "blitz" approach to this game is an extremely fun twist to the hidden object genre: but too many technical and design flaws spoil the entire experience.
Relationships are difficult at the best of times. Poor Albert - he really didn't need the added difficulty of a magical rat king that thinks he's human kidnapping his girlfriend and turning him into a nutcracker.
