Mortimer Beckett and the Secrets of Spooky Manor completely captivated me from the first puzzle. This kind of seek and find game is what I’ve been looking for since Mystery Case Files. Like MCF, this hidden object game contain puzzles where players pick up or move pieces to make something happen. In these games, the puzzles are more of a guest star. In Secrets of Spooky Manor, the puzzles become the star. Only one drawback: It’s too short!
Each puzzle requires finding hidden objects — but not the normal way you see in most games. And this is NOT yet another seek and find game or hidden object game. Instead, you must find the pieces of the hidden object. A clock, for instance, could have four pieces for finding in the scene before the object appears in your inventory. Every scene hides the pieces of four objects, which boosts the challenge and cuts the predictability.
After reuniting all the pieces to recreate the objects, you can either go to the other rooms to find the rooms’ objects, try to solve the puzzle or place an object that belongs in the scene such as a putting a chess piece back on its chessboard. While nothing happens in object placement, it keeps the boredom away and makes solving the puzzle more challenging as you can’t easily figure out which piece goes where. Some objects belong in other rooms or the current room needs something from another room. For example, if you see an object needs turning off or on and your inventory contains nothing to fix this, it’s obvious the needed hidden object hides in another room.
Creating a game with a variety of puzzles takes more time than simply throwing objects into scenes for hidden object games. Nevertheless, I hope the Mortimer Beckett and the Time Paradox, its sequel (no date announced anywhere), will last longer and provide as much delight as any seek and find game would.Heck, I hope the developer plans at least two sequels! Unless you don’t like puzzles, finding things and solving things. Click here to download the demo now!

This hidden object - seek and find game is nothing short of stunning. I play these kinds of games often, and there are good ones out there and mediocre ones. Nothing I've seen comes close to this.
One of my favorite books is "Something Wicked This Way Comes" by Ray Bradbury. This game beautifully captures the atmosphere and mood of the mysterious and creepy carnival which is at the center of that story. In fact, the graphics are so amazing I found myself forgetting I was being timed while playing, as I was fascinated by the realistic storm clouds blowing by, or the lightning flashes in the background. The mood of this game perfectly captures the ideal of an old time, creepy carnival, in everything from the images to the music to the voices, etc.
Not only is it amazing to see, it's much more difficult that any hidden object seek and find games I've played, and the mini games are abundant and equally challenging. I'm a critical person when I review something, because I like to do what I can to help others decide the best game to buy, but I can't say enough about Madame Fate. It's the best by far of the MCF games, which is saying something.
Click here to download it but be aware that the file is huge, about 90 megabytes and will take a long time to get if you are not on high speed internet.

Seek and Find Eye Spy Game - Agathe Christie Peril at End House
0 comments Posted by Games at 5:14 PM
Interactive adaptations of Agatha Christie's beloved murder-mysteries have ranged from good to great (Death on the Nile). Well, fans of these casual games will be pleased to know the latest adventure - Agatha Christie: Peril at End House - is the best yet, providing many hours of seek-and-find fun on your PC. Click here to download it now!
You must help Poirot with this task by searching for clues, meeting suspects and most of all, searching for items in more than two dozen locations (spread out between four main areas: End House, Majestic Hotel, Nursing Home and Town). If you get stuck you can access a few limited hints, which reveals where an item is in the scene.
Unlike most other seek-and-find games, Peril at End House cleverly weaves in clues and other plot-related puzzles into each scene - not to mention the look and music are relevant for this story and time period, too - such as finding pieces of a newspaper which, when put together, reveals a clue or realizing it's a man's shoe that left a grease footprint in a garage. Hmm.
Players will also have specific tasks in each level, such as finding six toys and placing them in a beach basket or finding the letters to spell E-N-D H-O-U-S-E and putting them on a sign in the correct sequence. Some levels have animated objects, too, such as a mouse you need to find, who reveals itself briefly before scurrying off into the corner.
I'm a fan of seek-and-find games but there are so many of them now that some of them seem mundane. Peril at End House, however, is gorgeous to look at, fun to play, and never boring.
Fans of these kinds of games will no doubt find this to download to be of the best in the genre. Its pick-up-and-play accessibility, beautiful presentation, engaging story and great puzzles all make Agatha Christie: Peril at End House perfect for armchair sleuths.
