This is a great game for a variety of hidden object styles and quick games. Long term play with the storyline, revisiting similar scenes with slightly different objects or new objects enhances the length of gameplay with less need for new scenes. Very fun, would recommend!

Extremely weak hidden object game. There's nothing else than the hidden-object scenes, no adventuring parts. The gameplay is very grindy and repetitive, forcing you to replay the same scenes again and again. Some variety is added by alternative game modes, but it's not enough and some of the modes are quite annoying. The HoG scenes are completely static and the graphics is blurry and unclear. And everything is accompanied by a bunch of glitches and UX flaws.

Absolutely not recommended, there are thousands of better games in this genre.

Ein durchschnittliches Wimmel- und Rätselspiel. Es ist ok für zwischendurch. Die Grafik ist einigermaßen ok, aber inzwischen nicht mehr allzu hübsch anzusehen. Vorteil ist aber dabei, das dies Spiel auch auf alten Rechnern problemlos laufen sollte. Die Story zwischen den Wimmelbildspielchen ist eher etwas gezwungen. Alles in allem währen einer Rabattaktion trotzdem empfehlenswert.

I don't usually care for the plot of a HO game; they are usually cheesy or poorly written.
But I now I realize that a cheesy story is better than none at all, which feels like is the case with this game. A game show is not a story after all, and it makes for a boring HO game.
But that's not the worse part. The worst part was the low resolution pictures, which were poorly lit or shaded. Need I say more?
All in all, playing this feels like a chore.

Straight up HOG with a few pretty easy puzzles. Great for when you're tired of games where you have to gather items to unlock locations and all that nonsense. I liked the different game modes in the later puzzles and the narration was entertaining.

TLDR: Low resolution. Hintspam gameplay. Repetitive. Uses a lot of cheap tricks to hide the objects. Not much of a story. Outcompeted in saturated genre.

Between the reshades, the object hidden by other object and the resize of object there are a lot of cheap tricks this game uses.

So this is sort of a gameshow in which you spin a wheel and must gradually solve more and more games of hidden object to unlock modes and free the little guys in the jail.

You get few modes to begin with which makes the game repetitive especially since they cannot be selected. The main hidden object scenes are hard to complete due to cheap tricks. The speed at which hint button refreshes means it will almost always be ready before you spot anything else so the game mostly plays itself.

There is not much of a story to speak of. There are bonus rounds which involve finding broken poker chips which are good to break the pace a bit but they go by so fast that they barely even matter.

Conclusion: Better stick to a more traditional story walk clicker hidden object with better presentation and fairer puzzles. This just feels like a lot of filler, being repeated over and over again in a pointless grind.

* PURE TRASH *

As a HOG fan, my suggestion is to not buy this. First, I cannot resize the screen out of 800X600 resolution. Second, from what I was able to bear watching this is pretty bad as far as hidden object game stories go.

If you see this on sale, don't bother!

EDIT March 2018: Per Dryspace's comment on this review, I looked up BridgetFisher's review and tried the fix for the resolution issue I had. With that fix in place, I was able to play the game and finish it, though I doubt I'll complete the Extended Play in Jirard-style completionism.

So, I change my review to a recommend with that. The plot is basically non-existent, but the antagonist's voice acting is some of the best I've encountered in an HO game. The various game modes give this game a bit of something different.

------------

First, I'll admit that I bought this on sale for not more than two dollars, probably less. While I give the game much credit for the idea and an actually interesting antagonist, I got tired of the game very quickly. The reason for that wasn't the game play, but the lack of an actual fullscreen mode. The scenes are repetitive, but the various types of games helped with that.

If I didn't have to have the screen next to my face to see what was going on, I would have probably finished the game at least. It seems a bit nitpicky, but that's a deal breaker in this case.

All in all I like this title. It is based on a concept that you are playing a gameshow and trying to rescue previous contestants that lost but it isn't a strong story line that keep pulling me back into the game.

What does keep pulling me back into it are the new ideas Gogii added to the Hidden Object game genre. Like I said this isn't a strong story driven game much like Artifex Mundi games BUT it does add many new concepts when looking at the same scene; match 3 (adds an extra 2 items somewhere), find 10 like items (adds another 9 items to the scene); Find Alphabet Letters to spell words of objects you must find; Riddle (you need to decipher a sentence to know what to search for), Puzzle (yes puzzle pieces that make up the scene), Combine (kind of deciper an easy meaning that translates to 2 items in the scene), List & Sillouette to name most of them but not all of the modes. There are 12 modes. Also as you play, you get a chance to play 15 second bonus games that let you earn hints, unlocks (to unlock a new mode) & skips (if you didn't like a particular mode). Going back to comparing Artifex Mundi, there isn't any map to this game. It is mainly a game show theme much like 'Discovery! Seek and Find' where the scenes change and not your position on a map. (Thus you don't need to remember where to use an object because you don't pick up any objects to carry around.)

The scenes keep changing rapidly so you don't feel any staleness in looking at scenes or for objects. I also find this game moderately hard to find objects and I've needed to use hints.

If you like HO games and you want to try something different in the HO genre, I'd suggest trying this game out.

A pretty fun, interesting take on object-finding puzzles. The storyline and voice acting are okay; it's the way you unlock new modes and do the same or similar rooms in different ways that make it interesting and fun. A little frustrating at times, but more due to the challenge level than low game quality. Plus, the game is fairly accessible - only one mode involves a time limit, and hints are fairly easy to come by and don't seem to count against you (nor does time taken); the only issue I can think of is that the Find The Difference mode is not color-blind friendly.

If you like hidden-object puzzles, it's a pretty good pick up!

Once again, I wish Steam had a "Maybe" option.

Very basic HOG. No real story line. No puzzles. Just variations of HO scenes. Standard list of objects to find, find the outline of the object, eliminate objects to find the one you want, find hidden letters to spell out the hidden objects, and the most annoying one of all ... find the object based on riddle clues.
The whole premise of the game is it's a game show. You spin a wheel that randomly selects what type of HOG scene you get, but that's where it gets really annoying. It's possible to keep getting the same types of scenes over and over depending on where the wheel lands. You can earn skip tokens, to skip the ones that annoy you, but it really doesn't matter, because the wheel only selects the first game you play, and then that's followed by two more random scenes chosen by the host. I hated the riddle scenes, I opted to skip them, I played a different scene, and then the host decides he wants to give me riddle scenes!
As the game progresses, you unlock more types of HO scenes, but there's no real sense of progress, it's just scene after scene after scene.
Overall ... this game is old fashioned HO. No bells or whistles, just pure HO ... and if that's what you are looking for, it's fine. The genre has moved on from this to bigger and better things, and if you are used to playing newer "adventure" HOGs, you will probably want to avoid this one. It's basic, it'll scratch your HO itch for a few minutes, and then it starts to get uncomfortable. If you must, try to pick it up on a sale.

TL;DR version at the bottom.

This is really not that terrible of a HO game, but there are a few things that you need to know before you give it a try.

Firstly, this is an old-school HO game, without a map/travel or inventory management puzzles. Like many of the older games, it's just finding objects in a scene packed with dozens upon dozens of items. If you are looking for something like the new Artifex Mundi games which are more intricate and have more features, you probably won't be thrilled with this.

That said, there is a wide variety in the types of HO scenes in this game. Essentially, you spin a wheel for each scene to see what variation you'll be playing, with a "skip chip" that can be used to block off a certain type that you don't like. While they are all "find the object" variations, there is enough variety to keep it interesting (combining objects, traditional list, timed, silhouette, plus some pretty different ones that you don't see often).

I've seen some complaints about pixel hunting and low-res graphics, but to be honest, I had no difficulty with it. There was no pixel hunting for me, and all of the objects were defined well enough for me to easily discern what they were. The scenes can be difficult, especially depending on the mode, but I don't feel like the graphic quality is the problem. That's not saying that it's a gorgeous game, it definitely comes off as old with dated graphics, but not to the point where it hinders the gameplay.

It is a VERY short game. I clocked in at 2 hours from start to finish in one sitting. Finishing the game unlocks the ability to complete each scene with the different game modes, which adds a touch of replayability for people that enjoy the simplicity of HO scenes without the story. I would recommend getting it on sale due to its age and lack of frills (I picked it up for $0.99 and it was a buck well spent, in my opinion).

About the story... there isn't much of one, which is pretty common for these early games. If you go into it for the gameplay and not the plot, it's not that big of a deal. If you want a deeper story (or any story...), again you may want to bypass this.

TL;DR: only worth playing if you don't mind the old-fashioned HO games that are ENTIRELY object seek without frills, bells, whistles, or embellishments, but well worth it if you like the old-style HO games. Due to the short playtime, I suggest getting it on sale.

A hidden object game as it should be!!!
Actually one of the best I´ve played so far, because I really really don´t like those pseudo-story fairy-tale run-around hidden object // point and click - crossover games.
This here is the good stuff: no real story but plain and simple finding hidden objects in a picture. What makes it even more interesting is the fact that there are different modi besides the classical get a word, find the object but also find things by shape, find five of a kind, find things that belong to a category, find letters first to get the words, place puzzle tiles and so on.
Really love this game! All I ever wanted and I would like to see more games like this one!

"Welcome to the Hidden Object Game Show" says the ever so glib, top hat and tuxedo wearing Master of Ceremony with the Clockwork Orange eyes and a maniacal laugh that puts the Joker to shame. Okay, gramps what have you managed to get yourself into besides a cage along with 5 other caged 'contestants'. For accuracy's sake two people are in one cage, making 5 cages total. Despite this bizarre and slightly unnerving introduction the only thing any of this has to do with gameplay is releasing the trapped and caged 'contestants'. (Making this game 5 levels in total.)

I read all the reviews after I played the game and the negative ones did nothing to dampened my enthusiam about recommending this game. This is what a TRUE HIDDEN OBJECT GAME IS. No bells, whistles, or storyline beyond the premise. No walkabout adventure/mystery. No point and click, puzzles, achievements, or anything else that is associated with today's HO games. This is a game for a connoisseur and an afficianadio of the Hidden Object genre.

Circa 2010 and the third of a series, this game is only about finding Hidden Objects. The only thing repetitive about this game is probably the music. So turn it off. This game uses a spin wheel to chose the type of hidden object play the gamer gets. It is randomized and there is an auto-spin option. There are 13 different types of hidden object find "puzzles": straight list, combine (which is equivalent to "extra step" finds), letter getter (find the alphabet which fill in the letters of find clues - almost like hangman), silhouette, focus (day version of night mode played with a fuzzy picture and a magnifying glass), riddle (i.e. orange and rabbits favorite food), elimination (eliminate several series of items from the scene before a riddle to the object needed to be found is given), triplets (find three of the same object), find 10 (find 10 of something), spot the difference, puzzle (match the puzzle piece to the puzzle piece in the scene) and countdown (30 seconds to find the object). Just the variety of different types of Hidden Object "puzzles" is staggering compared to today's games. Now add to this about 30 different scenes and the game is a very far cry from repetitive some claim this game is.

I never played the same thing twice, and not until near end did I even get the same scene (and then with a different puzzle type). A mention about the scenes, the objects in the scene are what one would expect to find in say a garage, a swimming pool or a bedroom. Albeit a very full garage, cluttered swimming pool, or extremely messy bedroom but overall the items are appropriate to the scene not just random junk.

The object of the game is to release the 6 trapped and caged 'contestants', who they themselves are a bit over the top. Their banter is pretty amusing, as well as their stereotype. There are six total game rounds that must be played to release each contestant. (In one case, 2.) However, each game can be extended with bonus rounds (up to 3). (I think this is random, or NOT getting bonus rounds may depend on whether or not the gamer lands the stop in a small gold area on the spinner.) Despite playing a bonus round on the same scene the puzzle type is different, and the objects move or are added depending of the puzzle type. During gameplay "bonus" scenes show up that the gamer can click on. (I only ever got two per puzzle.) These bonus scenes last 15 seconds during which time the gamer must collect as many broken token pieces as they can. These tokens give the gamer hints, 2x hints, skip (a puzzle type when placed on the spin wheel), and/or an unlock (unlock a new puzzle type) depending on how many pieces the gamer collects. After each game round a scoreboard is given showing accuracy, tokens, etc. (Accuracy may depend on misclicks, less misclicks the higher the accuracy??)

That is the game.

After everyone is free, the Master of Ceremony states the "gamer" cannot leave because there is more to do. The "more to do" is found in the extended play area on the main menu. In this extended play area, scenes are shown with stars beneath indicting which type of puzzle that has or has not been played.

One warning: Some the scenes have windows which are so bright the objects in them can not be seen. I thought this was probably my computer but apparently not. Others have mentioned/complained about this. I am quite sure if this game was ever remastered that this would no longer be a problem. My solution was to use hints or simply randomly click on the window to "see" if anything was there. Compared to some of the bugs I have encountered in newer games this was barely a shrug on the annoyance scale.

So yes, get this game, and though I received this as a gift, full price is well worth it.

Millionaire manor, and murder mystery! Sounds intriguing, right? Uh. . . Y'see, that's part of why I can't recommend this game - the waste of what could have been an intriguing plot under layers of mind-numbing repetition. It's not that the puzzles are bad, just driven into lackluster presentation due to the sheer number of times you have to do, redo, and redo again to free one of the captives - plus you're given only the scantiest of motivations in rescuing your grandfather.

Visually, the game is fine. The sounds and soundtrack are fine until hearing it for the nth time drives you crazy. The gameplay however is bogged down with a flawed concept and waaaay too much repetition. Yes, there's variations on the average puzzle I would normally applaud, but you end up doing even those SEVERAL times over the course of a single hour.

Seriously, save your time and money and go find another game. This one just isn't worth it.

I like this game because it was actually just a hidden object game. Not a lot of frills and extras, just doing a number of different modes of hidden object finds in different rooms. Some people seem to have found it bland and boring because it is lacking the point and click adventure part that most other hidden object games are filled with, but if you're not looking for that then this is good. Although, it is very short.

Parte della noia che mi ha prodotto questo gioco deriva dal fatto che e' in inglese (mea culpa non avevo letto) e su diverse parole sono andato a caso. Altra parte della noia e' prodotto dal gioco stesso. Non disdegno gli hidden, anzi ho giocato un paio di episodi di "The abyss" e mi sono piaciuti... ma questo e' noioso, bruttino graficamente, fortuna che occupa un 200 mega e ci si mette poco a scaricarlo.

This is a great game for a casual hidden object playing session, although it is very easy to complete and the extended mode after completing the main game is a little tedious.

The great thing about it is that I loved the different types of hidden object mode you could play in with the spin of the wheel, particularly elimination. This adds much needed variety to the genre. I also initially liked the bonus game where you collect chips to help you out. In the end, however, this got a little wearing. I was also left wondering why, despite collecting numerous 'unlock' chips, I never seemed to unlock the final type of game - perhaps that's a feature because I have the extended version.

The voice acting is TERRIBLE and the music is really annoying after a while, so for a better experience, turn off the sound and play your own music instead. Also I think it's a shame that all of these hidden object games seem to be so lazily targeted at women by having a female character who needs to save her children/relatives etc. It's nice they acknowledge that there are women who play games, but I'm not convinced this aspect added any more to the game than if I was a genderless character who stumbled into some strange manor and was drawn into a game.

Also, I have no idea why it's called 'Millionaire Manor'....

Generally, though, it's worth a few quid and was satisfying for a couple of casual gaming hours.

Story: Befrei deinen Onkel aus dem Käfig! Der Käfig ist direkt vor dir. Ach ja, vorher musst du 4 andere befreien. Ach ja, dazu musst du Wimmbelspiele in verschiedener Variation lösen. Ach ja, da ist so ein Kerl der sich als Showmaster ausgibt.

Qualität: Ich suche gerade den Abfallstempel... ach egal, Mülldeponiestempel geht auch... Zack und gelöscht!

Dauer: Die ist gut, aber nur weil es nur auf Englisch ist und ich nicht alle Wörter kenne. Nach dem durchspielen der Story kann man die Level noch einmal spielen und verbessern, aber ... neeeee

Fun hidden object game.
You play a young lady that has to save her grand-father from an evil crazy game show.
The host of the game show, kidnaps people and makes them play his games, if they loose, he keeps them prisoner.
You end up having to save everyone including your gramps.
It is solely hidden objects, but there is a twist, the game has many styles of play, that you «choose» by spinning a wheel.
Fun, but it gets repetitive after a while, the games are the same, but at least the rooms change often.
Liked it, but wait for a sale.

This is a HOG with no story and you can't walk around in a house or landscapes or whet ever to find clues to go further in the game. It's basicly finding hidden objects or silhouettes, actually kind of boring. The voice over is very irritating. I've bought it for about 1 Euro but it's worth 10 cents and when you buy it play it when you've got really nothing else to do and use it as a time killer.

I can not recommend this game to be honest. It's short. The alternative game modes can be annoying. You can not choose which type of mode you get, you have to spin a wheel so it's random.

Extended play (after "beating" the normal play) could have been redeeming since then you can do the game modes you've missed in the different hidden object scenes, but by then I was so bored, I de installed. I felt no sense of reward but completionists might like to do all modes on all scenes and fill the board with stars :)

Don't buy if not on super sale.

Edit: I forgot to mention the bonus thingies that randomly pop up with which you can earn extra hint tokens: they are timed with a nervous melody that made me rather jittery.

Millionaire Manor is a pretty bland hidden object game with little to no adventure plot involved. It's just a series of hidden object 'puzzles' with the only connection being a spinner that selects the mode that the hidden object screen will be presented in (e.g. list, silhouette, puzzle piece, etc.).

I didn't find much of a challenge, none of the hidden objects require any kind of manipulation to reveal, and the hardest thing about it was finding the objects in lower quality images (poor lighting, distance perspective, etc.) The most imaginative thing about the game was the constant timed "Bonus Round" interrupting the main hidden object screen with another hidden object screen.

Each puzzle seems to serve no purpose other than to complete itself. There's no sense of reward or accomplishment, as you get in the more entertaining adventure story HOGs when you unlock the item that you just happen to need to progress in the story. I guess if spotting and clicking random stuff thrown in haphazardly on top of blah pictures is the part of HOGs you enjoy most and you hate the story part where you have to figure out the puzzles, this is the one for you.

If this game at least had Steam achievements, then it might be worth the effort to slog through the boring gameplay in order to grab some easy achievements. As it is, there are so many HOGs available on Steam that would be more deserving of your time, even if you picked this one up on sale.

[h1]Short version: 60%[/h1]
An old hidden object game stuck in an even older time, Millionaire Manor offers a nice variety of game modes and a good overall length, but it really struggles to keep the player’s attention.

[h1]Long version:[/h1]
Millionaire Manor is the third instalment of The Hidden Object Show series, a rather strange breed of hidden object games that really showed how quantity can hurt quality.

Yet again, the player is participating in a television game show– this time with a dark twist– centred on finding hidden objects in several different game modes, ranging from the usual checklists to more exotic types, like riddles. This large variety offers a long play time…

…if you ever decide to actually go that far. Unlike the previous games it’s not required to play every game mode on every level to finish the story, 100% completion is purely optional. But some of the modes are so frustrating or boring that it is doubtful many people will ever want to reach this goal.

A HO game veteran probably won’t find anything appealing in it, since it uses the same mechanics as the first part released in 2008, but for newcomers it may be an excellent starter game with a decent price/length ratio.

A nice new spin on a hidden objects game. Solve puzzles and find hidden objects in order to save your Grandfather from a crazy game show host.

I'm normally not for Hidden Object games, but I thought this one also had jigsaw puzzles (it doesn't, really), so I put it on my wishlist to check during sales, and when I saw it for 0.49 euro, grabbed it.

And then it kept me up to nearly 7am, intent on unlocking the extended play. And I had fun!

- There's variance to the puzzles, different game modes.

- A clever frame/story to get you to play the games and dive right in (without tedious running around or any half-hearted pretense at adventure).

- Solvable puzzles, and plenty hints available for you to use or ignore.

- The only truly timed games are the bonus rounds.

- Random clicking won't get you anywhere.

If more Hidden Object games are like Millionaire Manor, I might become a fan.

Only negative:

- No Steam Overlay, no Steam screenshooting.

I'm very stingy, but even I find this game is well worth more than the 0.49 euro I paid for it. If you think 5 euro isn't much, it might even be worth the full price for you.

Edit: For someone with my terrible memory there's also great replay value (plus training memory). You can not only play all puzzles as often as you like in extended mode, you can also make different profiles (for different people playing or just yourself again from the start) and also delete them if you feel like playing yet again from the start.

It's ok. Rather repetative puzzel usage. Get it cheep.

This hidden object game is not one of the adventure/hidden object hybrids; instead it is a pretty much straight hidden object game with just a very minimal story, sort of like the Spin Top hidden objects. A different take in this game is that each hidden object scene has a number of different modes, which are chosen randomy through spinning a wheel. Modes include things like list (regular HOG where you find objects from a list), silhouette (silhouettes only, like what shows in some HOG hints), getting a hint rather than the item name, etc. Once completed, you can go to an Unlimited HIdden Object type of bonus stage where you can choose the modes for the scenes that you did not play before. The game doesn't explain what the Bonus thing that pops up is until you click it--make sure to click it, as this is how you earn hints. Hints are fixed and do not recharge, you must earn the tokens and unfortunately once your stack is maxed out they no longer accumulate.

I love to play Hidden Object games together with my daughter, but this one is so boring that we stopped playing it.

The graphics is nice enough and from the atmosphere it looks good, but the game itself is totally repititive and boring.
There a re some good ideas making it different from the run of the mill HO game but the overall presentation is not enough to save it. And if you are looking for a story, well there is some, but it is pretty unrelated to what you are playing and serves only as an excuse.

I do not know what the negative reviews are about. My wife and I play Hidden Object Games for fun, and Millionaire Manor is one of the better of the half-dozen or so we have played. Unlike some games, the objects mostly are appropriately sized and placed (not huge, or stuck on the ceiling, for example). Yes, in a few cases poor contrast makes an object invisible, but that is not particularly uncommon in our experience with other games.

Although short, the game seems clean and professional. We like that the game has an unusual variety of different modes, such as: list (the usual HOG mode), silhouette (only the outline of the object), matching (combining 2 objects to make the list item), alphabet (first find all the letters, with only the found letters presented when naming the object), and jigsaw (place a row of jigsaw pieces at their position in the room), among others. After the main game, Extended Play covers the rest of the modes on each of the rooms, which may be longer than the main game.

The evil master of ceremonies is just a hoot! We enjoyed it!

This is one of the more fun HO games I've played. It has several varieties of puzzles that make it more interesting than just finding the items on a list.

The story is dumb, so if you play HOGs for story you may not like it.

Probably the most boring HO games I've played. Feels more like a grind. No good story, no resolution options.

Achtung: Das Spiel ist komplett in Englisch und wenn man das nicht beherrscht, dann wird man hier nur wenig Spaß haben.

Zur Bewertung: Das Spiel ist ein Hidden-Object oder Wimmelbild Spiel. Die Story ist quasi nicht vorhanden und unglaubwürdig, bzw. schlecht erzählt. Die Minispiele und Wimmelbilder sind recht gut gemacht, aber es gibt ein paar Varianten bei denen man unter Zeitdruck Dinge finden muss und damit zumindest für mich nicht in diese Art Genre passen.
Zusätzlich ist die Art des Spiels das man bekommt jedes mal komplett random ausgewürfelt, man kann höchstens eine Variante aus dem RNG entfernen.

Wer ein Spiel auf dem Niveau von Artifex Mundi erwartet wird enttäuscht werden. Wenn ihr das Spiel mal im Sale für 1€ erwischt, dann kann man das mitnehmen, ansonsten eher Finger davon lassen.

このゲームは面白い。言ってしまえば単なるアイテム探しゲームなのだが、細かなアレンジに工夫があり、単調になりがちな同ジャンルのゲームを上手くまとめてある。
内容としてはひたすらアイテム探しとそのアレンジルールをクリアーしていくだけで、ストーリーなどはほぼ無いと考えて良い。ゲーム内容としてはかなり偏った内容とも言える為、アイテム探しというジャンル自体が嫌いな人は買うべきでは無い。ただ、同ジャンルが嫌いでなければ十分楽しめると思う。

このゲームの特色としては、基本的なアイテム探しの他にそれをベースとした様々なアレンジルールの存在がある。通常のアイテム探しであればアイテムの名称から絵の中にある同じアイテムを探す事になるが、このゲームではそれは「List」と言う一つのルールになっている。またアイテムのシルエットから探す場合は「Silhouette」と言うルールになり、他にもジグゾーパズル風のルールや、間違い探し、謎々を解く事で目的のアイテムが分かるルールなどもある。
これらの複数のアレンジルールが存在する事で、単純にアイテム探しを繰り返すだけのゲームに上手くメリハリが付いて居る。良くあるこの種のゲームでは単調さを無くすためにストーリーに力を入れてみたり、全く別種のパズルを大量に入れ込んでみたり、もはやそれはアイテム探しゲームなのか、アドベンチャーゲームの中にアイテム探しが入れてあるのか分からない様な物もあるが、このゲームは「アイテム探し」という部分にフォーカスしたまま上手くゲームとしての多様性を作り上げてある。
また、アレンジされたルールで同じ問題を解くと言うゲームシステムは、単にバラバラの問題を解く以上にゲームとしての楽しさも向上させている。
例えば「List」を先に解くとその問題に出てくる大体のアイテム名称が分かる。アイテム名称が分かると、「Riddle」で出される謎々の答えも想像付きやすくなるなど、別のルールで解いた答えが他のルールを解くヒントになる様に出来ている。この解けば解く程有利になるシステムによって、ゲーム攻略に導線が産まれ、ゲームを進行しやすくしている。

ここまではこのゲームの良い点ばかりを上げてきたが、もちろん悪い点が無い訳ではない。
まずはなんと言っても、単純すぎるゲーム内容は問題だろう。幾らアレンジされてるとは言っても、基本はアイテム探しに尽きるゲーム内容は人を選ぶ。
また、通常のゲーム進行ではどのアレンジルールで問題を解くのかを選ぶ事は出来ず、ルーレットによりランダムに選ばれたルールで攻略していく必要がある。ストーリーをクリアーした後は自由にルールを選ぶ事が出来るが、自由にルールを選べないストーリー部分ではストレスの貯まる場合もある。
最後はグラフィックの悪さを上げる必要がある。ゲームの基本となるアイテム探しの画像が良い物だとはとても言えない。写真やCGを加工したらしき画像はリアリティもイラストとしての味もなく、あくまでゲームとして成立してる以上の良さは無い。また妙にjpgモアレが目立ち、一部アイテムは答えが分かっても何が描画されてるのか良く分からない所もある。
この様に幾つかの悪い部分もあるが、いずれもゲームプレイを妨げる程では無く、全体としては良い点の方が多い。

ストーリーモードのクリアーで1-2時間程度、全ての問題を全てのアレンジルールでクリアーするのに2-3時間程度、計4-5時間程度のプレイ時間。長いゲームでは無いがセール時の値段を考えると相応かとも思う。
アイテム探しというジャンルを超えるゲームでは無いが、このジャンルを上手く拡張したゲームとして、同ジャンルが嫌いと言う人でなければお勧め出来る。

I bought this Game during a Sale after discovering how good HOG`s can be through the Artifex Mundi Games.
Sadly this one is not even close to them. The Story is nonsensical and lackluster. That alone
I wouldn`t mind so much but the Gameplay, while theoretically varied with lots of gamemodes
is absolutely random. You spin a wheel that randomly gives you a Gamemode. This means
that you will most likely play the same modes again and again and never get to see some of the
others.

Still I could forgive the Game this if it didn`t fail at the most important part, the Hidden Objects.
While they should be more or less hard to find, I have encountered several Objects that were simply
impossible to find without Hints due to bad contrast and lighting. Even WITH the Hint I couldn`t see
1 or 2 of them while staring right at them. Only blindly clicking on the area were they revealed.

TL:DR
If you are a Hardcore HOG Gamer and want to complete your collection, buy it during a sale.
Everyone else stay far, far away from it.

This Hidden Object game is that your on a gameshow to save your grandpa so you must complete puzzles to do it. The variety of puzzles are interesting from silhouettes, to riddles, keeping things fresh. A solid 10/10 idea! Good voice acting which drives the story makes the game feel alive.

The game detects your resolution loading the game in that resolution which can result in stretched or fuzzy low quality textures.
How to Fix:
Right click the steam entry and choose properties/click local files then browse local files.
Right click the exe "THOS3" with the star icon and choose properties.
Go to compatibility Tab and put a check in the box for "disable display scaling on high DPI settings".

After a while it starts to get pretty boring as the riddles come up oer and over again. Also there was a problem that while I was in the storymode I wasn't able to unlock the lst riddle, only afterwards in the extras I was able to play it. It's ok for this small price and some no intense gaming
