 Just not very well-done November 22, 2008
J. Carroll (Island Heights,NJ)
There are a number of problems with this game. The storyline is insipid, the graphics are repetitive and animation is almost non-existent. I enjoy the occasional mindless activity of "hide and seek" puzzle games and this is game is not even as good as the web-based games I've played. Keep looking, you'll find better games available.
 "OK" sums it up nicely. June 22, 2008

It's not the best game--I consider the animation to not exist, and, for all the talk about finding the cats, there wasn't much going on. The story wasn't much either. I found it amusing, though, that the makers put themselves in the character roles. I feel that the game has some major potential, but I wish the execution was better.
Proofreading, Anyone? June 2, 2008

I recently purchased this game, and I have to say I was very disappointed. The puzzles weren't very challenging, the game itself was fairly short...but the worst part was the editing! I could barely stand to pay attention to the storyline, because not only was it short and without any attempt at depth, but the grammar, spelling, and punctuation were just appalling. Duplicated words, misuse of similar words (they're, there, and their have different meanings, people), sentences that didn't even make sense...it's like the developers forgot that word processing programs have spellcheck! If you're going to charge $20 for a game, at least TRY to fix this kind of thing. From the demos included on the disk, it looks like the next ???-ville game is just as bad in that regard. Since there are plenty of other hidden picture games out there, I would suggest you skip this one.

This is really a fun game! If you like Mystery Case files, or iSpy type hidden object games - you will love this one! Great graphics and funny story line.
 It was OK, but not the best October 15, 2007

I love find and seek games such as this. I love how they are challenging and puzzling. However, having played many of them, I can honestly say that this one is somewhat of a drag. The storyline is dull and kind of unbelievable. You are playing the game through the eyes of a reporter, and you are interviewing residents of 'Mysteryville' because cats in the town have been mysteriously dissapearing. Every character on the list will tell you to run back and forth from person to person, and question them. So it's almost like a detective game except there are really no clues to follow, and you just have to go from place to place simply to find puzzles. The puzzles themselves were not challenging at all. I love these games because of the challenge of finding the objects. I found every object on the lists provided in this game within three minutes tops. I won this game from start to finish in under half an hour, that's how much of a give away it was. And the ending was very, very confusing and not well played. If you want a good find and seek game, try Dream Day or the new Titanic: hidden expedition one.
