I played this game when it first came out and enjoyed it. I just played it for a second time (Nov 2018) and find I just as much fun. Yes, the hidden globes aren't so hard to find, but the scenes are fun to examine nonetheless. I'm especially happy that the HOP scenes use text that's large enough to be viewed comfortably. Readable text is always a plus in my book. There's nothing in this game not to enjoy. Enjoyable mini games. If you need a distraction or game to keep your mind active, this is great for that. Will be just right for my 11 yr old granddaughter.

I downloaded this free version a month before purchasing. I'd downloaded the second in the series and couldn't remember which I preferred. I mistakenly chose to buy this one. I've played a lot of HO games, but I don't think I've ever had to use the HINT button as much as I did in this one. I felt that the game didn't flow as well as others, and the items given or picked up didn't remind me of the tasks I had to do (if that makes sense.) My second complaint is that there was no mention of a ghost or any supernatural things in the description, however, right after I purchased the game, there he was. I don't like that kind of stuff, so I was very disappointed about that. The graphics are great, and I was able to finish the game, but I'll be deleting it. Really wish I could return it, because I'd buy the other one.

After playing the mediocre Whispered Secrets: Beyond, I was really looking forward to a new game by EIPIX so I could get back in the groove. :DAs with Beyond, however, I find it hard to believe that this game truly is new. There is a significant step back in terms of the configurability of difficulty; the availability and quality of the map and journal, if any; the complexity of the HOPs; and the overall quality of the game. The graphics and cut scenes seem dated as well. I certainly did not see any aspect that struck me as innovative or novel.This was also one of the shortest trial periods that I can ever remember before I was asked to buy a game. I was only able to visit four scenes and complete three or four short puzzles. This was hardly enough to convince me to pay the $6.99 requested in order to continue.I cannot recommend purchasing this game based on my experience. I am rating it three stars because it does not appear to be glitchy, just antiquated.

I have enjoyed all four games in the series. The graphics are clear, HO's are visible, and the puzzles are not difficult (a negative for folks who really enjoy a challenge!). Scenes load quickly and I experienced no glitches. The only collectible is a water globe in each scene and they are not particularly hidden. The map, however, must be accessed from the menu which is a minor inconvenience. The length, for me, was just right. I get really restless when a game goes on forever and ever.
