@OutofPrintArchive@mstdn.games The books for this were classπŸ‘Œ, I can't imagine myself buying a game for it; but the book series I'd totally buy again if I see them.

I don't think the hidden object style of entertainment will ever hit as hard as it did with Where's Wally/Waldo or the Mortimer Beckett series' of games/books.

I actually never knew this series had a game, I'm tempted to find and try it purely out of curiosity.

@BigBlue@geekdom.social

Someone at work has been playing a similar games these past couple of weeks. πŸ˜…

I wonder myself why as there are so many better things to play, even on a phone.
But oh well, live and let live.

@OutofPrintArchive@mstdn.games True, the last time I found these style of games that were genuinely great were back in the days of Big Fish Games. The modern stuff doesn't quite hit the same, they feel more like those time waster pastime titles you'd find on facebook way back.

I miss Big Fish Games; when I think of Windows XP, they're the first thing that comes to mind.
