Previous reviews are fair, but I think the attractiveness of this game depends on the player. If you like Samantha Swift games, I think it is at least worth doing the free trial (although I don't think it is as good as Samantha Swift).

I love hidden pizzle games, problem with this one is you spend your time going from scene to scene trying to find all the pieces needed. the puzzles are too hard and you skip them. Took me only 3 hours to finish game and no reward or bonus games for finding anything. Don't bother with this game, not worth the 6.99.
