Rated 5 out of 5 by Suelovesgames from Has a certain je ne sais quoi This is a wonderful game with the right balance of mini puzzles, HOS and in-game puzzles. It's exciting, intriguing and atmospheric. The graphics could have been a bit more interesting but they were okay. I'm prepared to overlook that and still give it five stars because it's special, unique and quirky but in a classy way. But most of all, it's memorable and I'll be playing it again at some point. You really feel ike you're on a journey in this game. It's quite sequential and well paced and puzzles are fun too. An unexpected treat. It delivered more than it promised. Even though, it's exciting, it still remains relaxing. I'm not quite sure how it gets that balance but it does. SPOILER The thing that makes this game memorable is...I'll say one word - Gnomes. Gnomes give this game a certain je ne sais quoi. If you like gnomes, you will love this game.
Rated 5 out of 5 by lahdeeda from Great Game! Worth the Buy! Fun combination of hidden object and mini-games, and, unlike most games, the mini-games actually have a greater purpose in the plot-line. I found the gnomes a little annoying, but nothing too bad. Easy to navigate, and a fun mystery game without being dark. Only way to improve would be to allow access to the mini-game auction after completion of game.
Rated 5 out of 5 by sroebuck117 from Refreshing! Great twist for a HOG! Really fun HOG. Different than your average, spooky HOG. You had objectives, side tasks, and puzzles along with the hidden objects. Some puzzles were quite challenging!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Silvia_B from Terrific Game I absolutely loved this game. I played it 3 times. The animation is great. The puzzles were many & lots of fun. The music & sounds were great. I smiled through the entire game. Only frustrating part was the auction, which is optional. I did great in the beginning but those last auctions were so fast plus it would give me an undeserved red x which was very annoying. I hope a lot of people demo this game. It was great fun! Silvia
Rated 5 out of 5 by caseymom from A Hidden Treasure No, this game doesn't have a car wreck, mad doctor, an asylum, etc. but it has some really spooky gnomes. You don't have to wear your sneakers out, it does provide a challenge, the hint recharges quickly and so does the skip button and the storyline is similar to Rose Red by Stephen King. Its a nice clean game (by clean, I mean good graphics, subdued music, etc). Give it a try and you might surprised how quickly you get hooked. I know you will have a new view of garden gnomes.
Rated 5 out of 5 by DrDavid from A good little game. This is a real well done little HOG with light, bright HOS and many different types of puzzles. It isn't macabre or dark. Most of the time the game play flows well with sufficient clues to keep one headed in the right direction; when that fails the walkthrough is excellent. The puzzles have some guidance as to what is needed to solve them, although that wasn't quite enough in a couple of cases where I still was guessing at first. The story line is like an adventure game where it unfolds rather slowly during the game. Animations were fairly good; rather than voices there are short exchanges of text to read. The exchanges with the grounds keeper are kept brief, however. Interestingly most of the HOS give you multiple items for your inventory.

Rated 5 out of 5 by downeyduo from one man's treasure This game was delightful, fun and I loved that it wasn't so dark, the clarity was refreshing. The graphics were great, and the ho's , though small, were a challenge to a true ho gamer. Loved the gnomes, music was relaxing . All in all I loved the game. It offers laughter, challenges, and I hope that there are more games produced that are not dark, making it hard to see, this one is wonderfully light .No real eye straining.
