What players say

Well made puzzle and hidden object game. Nice that it has free hints and skips, not that you will need to use them much. The graphics are very good. No bugs or freezes, I do recommend playing this game.

Mhhh wow...! This whole family is f-ed up. o.O Not bad! I liked the crazy story and cinematics, but... The mini-games/collectables are on the easy side. The collectables literally flash in your face until you get them. XD The H.O. scenes are good and how they should be. So good job on that. But wow uh... Yeah. :> :)

WOW! If you're looking for a game with extremely easy puzzles, terrible storyline and short gameplay, then this is the game for you!
