   Hi Guys,

   Things are going as well as can be expected in OK. I don't have a lot of time to be on the net.

   We are staying at my aunts and she wants to buy some Hidden Object games. I didn't want her to waste her money so I thought I would ask all of you as to which games are the best. I know a lot of you really like them(especially Lauri). I don't know how many she wants to buy. So giving me your Top 5 would probably be the best.

   TIA I know I can depend on you giving me your honest opinion instead of just going to sites and buying from their descriptions.

   Hi Delenn13!
   My favourite subject..which Hidden object games are the best!
   I tend to forget ones that I have played in the past but recently a few have REALLY impressed me.
   One is Berlin Nights..
   http://www.gamezebo.com/games/mystery-stories-berlin-nights/review
   LOVED this game. The story was innovative and the scenery enjoyable. The scenes were "dynamic" which I assume to mean that there was a sound track and some animations to make you feel like you were right in the scene.
   MOST importantly the objects were well hidden but not impossible to discern but not TOO easy either. PLUS the graphics were clear..
   Worth it, as it is quite a long game with plenty of mini games and action sequences to liven things up.

   I also enjoyed Treasure Masters..
   http://www.gamezebo.com/games/treasure-masters-inc/review

   It was a fun game and had an interesting story. The objects were clear yet it was challenging..
   Oh yes both had a timed AND a relaxed mode which was great. (I hate timed modes but others like this version I know)

   Either game would be enjoyable..
   Hope this helps!

   Hi Delenn,

   There are so many good hidden object games around these days it would be hard to list a top five, though I would agree with Merri on Treasure Masters, I beta tested it so played out most of the levels and was always impressed by the innovations that I found; (most of which have since been copied elsewhere. Another I'd highly recommend is at least one of the Dream Chronicles games (there's two now, both of which are gorgeous and very playable). Hidden Expedition Everest was an early favorite. I'm sure Big Fish gave one away (either Everest or The Titanic). Another I enjoyed playing (and because I beta tested it played through almost to the end was Unicorn Castle, and finally Mystery Legends: Sleepy Hollow. I’ve included some you tube videos of the ones I’ve mentioned plus one for Berlin Nights as I’m thinking of getting it soon.

   Hi, delenn13,

   One point on Serpent of Isis: if you're left-handed, you'll find it switches the mouse to right-handed use, which I always find sufficiently rude that I generally give up on the game.
   A very good one I've tried recently is Lost in the City; very atmospheric, good length, untimed option (though the timed one is not overly stressful), plenty of puzzle elements.

   Thank you for asking the question -- I always love to get recommendations from more experienced gamers!

   Thanks, everyone. I knew I could depend on you. :)

   Like I said I don't have a lot of time to be on the forums because 3 ppl are sharing ONE PC. I sure miss mine.

   Anyways I have passed this info to my aunt and now she gets to make the decision as to what she wants.

   I will be sending you an Admiral Seed, Copmom, when I get back.
