This game was fun, but hard and short lived. Our TV is a standard 32″ I think, and you aren’t looking for objects, but for FRAGMENTS of objects. like 5 pieces to a dart. I think this would have been more fun if we had a larger television. It was an eye strain from the sofa though. We finished the game in one day, though. It’s a great game to just be doing nothing in particular. Not too much brainwork, and fun for kids and adults.
We bought this for the whole family to play.
All four of us played and finished the game in one evening.
My son thinks this is like an “I Spy” game. The pieces are very hard to find, but like SwellMoms said in her review, I also have a small 32″ TV.
In all, I don’t recommend this game because it is very simple, and too short to keep playing. Once completed, it seems like the game is over and it is time to trade it in.
There are a few reasons why I bought it in the first place.
1) I wanted a four player game so we all could play at the same time.
2) I was looking for a family friendly game for my 11 and 9 y/o.
3) I was looking for a mystery / dungeon kind a game. Wii is short on these it seems.
Nancy Drew is a mystery game, but is only a 1 player game.
Wiiviewer gave a great video review, and I think that review was very accurate.
Personally, I didn’t enjoy playing this game and completed it simply because I had purchased it and I was going to get as much of my money’s worth out of it as possible. If you do want to play the game after looking at the reviews, I would recommend renting it versus purchasing it, for no other reason that it only takes about an afternoon or evening to finish playing the game.
enjoy!
being a fan of hidden pictures this game can be a challenge, but can be completed very quickly. In each room you find pieces of items and then must place the items back where they belong.The hardest part is some of the coloring makes it hard too see items. The rooms are very busy, but this game can be played by all ages. I would have liked to see more rooms or variation in this game
