   This is by far the best game they have given away. Its a find the object game
   and it also has puzzles in it as well. I've been playing it for the last 2 hours
   and I've really enjoyed it, but don't play if you have something to do or
   it will be the end of the day before you know it.... :)

   I am glad you like it. Hidden Objects games are becomming pretty popular. I just can't seem to get into them though.

   Well...I am currently playing Escape the Museum, and it IS a bit of a challenge ("to say the least", Sue mutters). I just got out of the area involving paper, stone quill, key, and glass shard. The one before it where you have to find the door knob, etc. just about did me in, though.

   Sue - taking a brain break...lol

   Well, I've gotta be the party pooper and say I think this one stinks as a Hidden Object game. HAAAAAha-ha. I dunno. I have this from awhile back so am probably farther on, but I liked it at first also. THENnnnn it started getting really annoying. Some of the things are so hard to find, even tho you give in and take a hint and you're looking right at it. The drawings are just plain bad at times and very unclear, especially for a HO. But don't lemme rain on your parade! It took me awhile to get to this point, and now I have to force myself to play a level. But finish it I shall! =|:-b

   Midori..don't feel like a party pooper as I totally agree.
   I had this game before but lost it when I uninstalled a different game house game and it took Escape the Museum WITH it???( weird..lol)
   So I installed it again yesterday and happily found that my game progress had not disappeared( I am about 1/3 of the way through)
   BUT!
   It IS hard on the eyes and the items are SO obscure and YES badly drawn/painted.
   Right now I am stuck on a ledge..lol
   Compare these graphics to something like Treasure Masters(remember that one??) It had GREAT graphics yet was still challenging enough.
   Still. .. free is free and like you said, I WILL finish this...
   :D

   Sue, YES I often have to stop while playing this game; it DOES hurt my brain after a while.
   Plus my eyes are starting to stay crossed...lol!
   :P

   Glad you are all having a go, I do agree with the graphics tho,
   they are not the best.
   I did manage to finish the game, and the last level is a right pain. lol
   If you are stuck, putting the mouse pointer on things you think might
   be useful can help, it will get bigger and smaller if its on the right
   thing.

    Thanks for that tip, Hallford... gosh, I've just GOTTA finish it. The little girl is stuck in the control room!! =@:-o
    I guess they all can't be as clearly drawn as the MCF and Little Shop ones, eh? You can still really hide things well w/out drawing them unclearly.

    Well guys, I am on level 25, now, where I have to get the weights equalled at 275 lbs. My last go-around with the with was (I think) 476, or something like that, and I eventually gave it up to my son to do for me - yep, he got it! I will get him to tackle this one for me, too.

    LOL, Sue... they sure can come in handy, eh? Just plain comes natural. I got that one "by accident," if you know what I mean. */:)

    (Sue, chuckles)...Well, at least *I* was honest about how *I* beat that one...Midori. I shut the game down - well, minimized it, anyway - went on to do something else (when geez, I should have go on to bed....BUT didn't... heh heh heh), and then decided to just look at it again, and so I did. I looked at it, and thought, "why not", so I did - I went ahead and gave it another try, and Lo and Behold! if I didn't get it. I wasn't really even trying that time, and I got it...lol. I then decided to play with it somemore, finishing off some more levels that it informed me (with those little red ! marks) were incomplete.

    I have to join in by admitting I'm hooked on Escape the Museum one too! Finally got through that hole in the floor. The fire extinguisher and hot key was a pain, then I found you have to use the extinguisher and grab that key immediately while it looks cool.

    Well, guys...I completed the game, today...:D. Will I play it again? Probably. Next time around, it should be easier to find the hidden objects, and figure everything else out.

    Hooray.. finally finished, what a relief! Hope they have some more hidden objects like this one! I like having to figure out things in addition to finding things!

    dsekirka, sometimes I do get the error messages, but somehow the software still downloads and installs.

    I am really surprised to see this game offered again, so soon. Seems like it was just last week, maybe, that it was first offered. Well, considering I am having problems with one of my computers (and *may* have to reformat it), it is a good thing it is reoffered. I did enjoy the game, despite the problems with being able to pick out the different objects, and plan to play it again. I figure since I know what to look for, I may have an easier time with it, the next time around.
