I don't write many reviews, but there are so many negative reviews of this game that I feel compelled to offer the opposing view. This is one of my 2 or 3 favorite hidden object games for the NDS.

Many of the complaints relate to the game being fairly short. I've found that's generally the case with hidden object games. Many can be completed in just a few hours. And if they take longer, it's just by seemingly endless repetition of the same locations with a few different objects. This one, I didn't find boring. I didn't feel like I went to the same locations over and over and over again.

I also like a hidden object game that has a few "extras"...mini-games and the like. I liked the various puzzles (and even the "spells") in this one.

Probably "MillionHeir" is still my favorite in this genre, but Mystery Tales: Time Travel is a close second. If you like hidden object games, and you know that they are relatively short (you'll never get the hours of gameplay out of a hidden object game that you will out of an RPG, for example), then you might want to give this one a try. I'm certainly glad I got it.

This is one of the worst hidden mystery games I've played--and I've played most of them. I started it once and became so frustrated because the instructions were so confusing that I put it away after about he third board. A couple of weeks later I took it out again and started over thinking I must have missed something, and found it just as frustrating and confusing. Compared to all the other hidden mystery games I've played, this has to be the worst. Don't waste your money even on a used one.

I was pleasantly surprised by this game. It had plenty of seek n find, games, puzzles, etc. Some of the "special sight" tools were frustrating - i.e. some objects could only be seen using a certain tool - but I still enjoyed it. Traveling to all the different places helped to keep interest in the game. I was stumped on a few levels - not very clear instructions - but was able to find online walkthrough guides to finish. I always get frustrated when I have to "cheat" with games, but I think this was still a solid hidden object game. Not the best one, but certainly worth the price.

was a gift for my son he like game and stil plays it so im happy with it your suppose to look for items on a page and its good for kids of most ages

This is not an easy search and find game at all!! Some of the items are near impossible to find, and it can be very frustrating. The game itself is OK, but I will not be playing it more than once! Make sure you know of the cheat web pages out there, because you will likely need them through the game to find some of the objects!

I really liked the game but it didn't last long enough. I was able to complete the game in a week. I had great difficulty with some of the items because I didn't know what they were.

When I pay 19.00 for a game, I expect it to take longer to complete.

The point where you have to connect 4 dots to each other in a curtain time. No matter what I do I failed every time and cannot continue. Frustrating and that is why I put the game away. Can somebody tell me how to connect those dots fast before the time runs out?
Very appreciated.

I've gotten to the goddess and finding the things she's misplaced, and it's really hard to find. I've had alot of trouble finding items, and the booklet is hard to understand also. And I'm still trying to figure out how to use my items.

This game was not very good. It is all hidden item puzzles and was solved quickly - no challenge. A bit of a bore.

THE GAME STARTS IN STORYMODE THE IT FREEZES AFTER YOU GET THE MP3. THE MEMORY MINI GAME WORKS OK BUT QUICK PLAY IS FADED AND WONT OPEN. NOTHING IN THE MANUAL SAYS WHY. I THINK ITS DEFECTIVE OR JUST THE ONE I GOT IS.
