Customer Review: Mystery P.I. Portrait of a Thief
Summary: 5 Stars

I really like play this game. The puzzles are fun and some are hard to do. It keeps you on your toes. Lots of fun.

Customer Review: Peeper pleaser, sharp eyes and good memory needed......
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a pretty good game if you like solving puzzles. The puzzles are not that difficult but because they are timed they can still be challenging if you are trying to maintain a high score. Some of the clues will get you running for a dictionary, using words that are not commonly used in a normal day to day vocabulary. After all you can't find an object if you don't know what it is. This adds a slight learning value to the game. I am 59 years old and I am slightly red/green color blind. Some of the small objects like "red bug" were almost invisible to me. I did find them all but I had to resort to using a lot of "clues" to find the little bitty ones. I think the game screen is probably designed for younger sharper eyes. I spent about 20 hours working on it before I solved the game. Then I read the instructions and realized I could have raised my score a lot if I had read the instructions first, but it would have taken me longer to solve it. Some of the almost invisible objects I found were when using random clicks to search them out. Points are deducted for clicks that don't score a hit on an object. All in all I think it a pretty good game that gets you thinking a little and one that puts your short term memory to the test. I enjoyed playing it.

Customer Review: Mystery P.I.
Summary: 3 Stars

It seems to be difficult to get to the next levels after solving the mystery. For some reason it keeps starting the player over on the same game.

Customer Review: I'm now search and find game addict!!!
Summary: 5 Stars

Ok, I've admitted I'm addicted to these type of games. I loved Amazing Adventures and Mystery Case Files MCF. If you've found yourself loving those, you'll like this one too. For those who haven't played those, you go into rooms and search for items that are totally out of place in the room that are on a list. This makes it harder to find them and to recognize them for what they are when you see them. It sounds so simple but there's just something abnout it that makes it so much fun. Just lots of fun and a highly recommended game for anyone of any age.
