Hidden Objects Sherlock Holmes ١٢+

I am enjoying this game. You do have to replay each level a few times in order to get 5 stars. I had actually gotten 5 stars in all the 35 (or thereabouts) levels, and had stopped at 100% in each level. However, I found out purely by accident today that you can go above 100%. The 5 stars stay the same, so I don’t think there’s any increase there, but you do get new objects to find if you go above 100%. That being said, I do agree with other reviewers on a couple of negatives. The same rooms keep popping up. Not much variety in the rooms at all. There are several hidden objects rooms, and a few “find the difference” rooms, but other than that, nothing changes. Also, I agree that the terms for some of the items you’re supposed to find are not in USA English. I get that the game may have been created in another country, and that other countries may play it, but it’s very confusing for many USA users to understand. Examples: “Casket” instead of “Jewelry Box” or “Trinket Box”, along with several others like that. When I saw “casket”, I thought I was supposed to be looking for something to put a dead body in… I do like the concept, however, and the fact that it’s free, and there’s no dumb storyline you must follow in order to get to the next level. I will keep playing for awhile, now that I have discovered that you can get above 100% and get new objects to find.

I gave this a 5 only because it met my expectations. The graphics are good. There are only about 10 different areas. A couple of find identical objects. A find the differences. A couple of find 10 of a certain object. A couple of rooms to find a list of different objects. Enough variety to keep it a little interesting. However, repeat games; though slightly different, are not different enough to be challenging. There is no time limit. I hope this is descriptive enough that you will not be disappointed if you get it and will not get it if you like something more challenging.

This is an ok game. It’s not rocket science, but, when I have a migraine & I’m trying to do something to distract myself while waiting for the pain Med to work. It’s especially ok for that, & valuable, bc, I need something that isn’t overly difficult, hasn’t got a lot of bells & whistles (ie, low tech is good under the circumstances) & there isn’t a deadline to put pressure on me. It’s fairly therapeutic, except that, Sometimes the items are SOOO SMALL that it’s extremely difficult to see, & that’s worse during a migraine. Also, the screen/picture is very dark, & I haven’t been able to figure out how to lighten it up, if that’s even possible. If it is & I’m dumb, oh well. If it isn’t, it’s kinda unfair that the objects are not only “hidden”, as in camouflaged, or decoyed, but, one can’t find them because the screen is too dark? C’mon!
