Escape the Museum 2 Walkthrough

Casual Explosion

“…Susan, David, and their daughter Caitlyn experience a Thanksgiving catastrophe of their own in Escape the Museum 2 from Gogii Games. This hidden object adventure game is a direct sequel to Escape the Museum, in which Susan and Caitlyn were trapped in the museum during a 6.5 magnitude quake that temporarily shut down the mysteriously unnamed city in which they live. This sequel follows David’s adventures during the same quake. He spends Thursday morning napping on the sofa only to wake and discover the aftermath of the quake. In his attempt to make it downtown to the museum he quickly realizes that he’ll have to navigate dangerous streets, unstable buildings, aftershocks, well-meaning police officers, and a fractured drawbridge. What a Thanksgiving!

Each chapter of David’s adventure throws a problem at him as, in one way or another, his route toward the museum is blocked. Sometimes it’s an obvious obstacle such as a giant hole in the street. At other times David’s humanitarian instincts won’t let him ignore a bystander (or cuddly kitten cowering behind a pile of bricks) in need of rescuing…

…Escape the Museum 2 has excellent graphics and though many of the puzzles are a bit farfetched, they make for an enjoyable game. The setting and drama are more or less realistic, which makes for an odd match considering the hidden object game scenes often use common tricks like making objects the wrong size or color or even fading them into their surroundings. My only other complaint is that I often had trouble knowing where to click next to complete a puzzle or obtain the next piece of one. Even when I knew what I wanted David to do, sometimes getting him to do it was a bit awkward.”

The Mystery of the Crystal Portal walkthrough

Gamezebo

“…The latest seek-and-find adventure from RealArcade, The Mystery of the Crystal Portal, centers on journalist Nicole Rankvist as she receives a strange note from her archaeologist father, Robert, saying that he’s discovered an artifact that has the power to change humanity. When Robert goes missing, Nicole must find pieces of the Crystal Portal key and retrace Robert’s steps by – you guessed it – searching for hidden objects!

Nicole’s journey takes her to five exotic locations, including Japan, the Swiss Alps, the Mayan ruins of Guatemala, and wintry Russia. Each location is broken into two or three scenes where you must search for “normal” objects (the usual random assortment of items such as vase, bucket and saw), story items that will help you advance (like a jug of gasoline to power a generator), container items (more on these in a moment) and “puzzle” items like gears and tile fragments that unlock the final stage of each round, which is always a puzzle game of some sort…

…The game has good graphics in its favor, including beautiful scrolling panoramas that introduce each new location. It’ s evident that a lot of care was taken to place items in the scenes that look like they belong there instead of completely random stock photo clutter (in other words, you won’t see a Statue of Liberty or Eiffel Tower amongst the Mayan ruin, thankfully.

The verdict: The Mystery of the Crystal Portal is a good, though not stellar, hidden object game whose laid back set of rules is sure to provide a relaxing experience free of the stress of time limits and penalties for random clicking or using up hints.”

Spintop Games

“In Mystery of the Crystal Portal, you play as a New York Journalist named Nicole Rankwist. Nicole’s father is an eccentric archeologist and is always off in some exotic location, experiencing an adventure or two. This time, however, things are different. Nicole’s father calls her up from Japan to tell her about his recent discovery, telling her that it could change the course of humanity, but the odd thing is that he sounds slightly nervous. Our heroine agrees to meet up with him later, but when her very punctual father doesn’t show up for six hours after the meeting time, she realizes that something is wrong and she needs to get to the bottom of it…

…The ingenuity and creativity doesn’t stop at the story. While the gameplay in Mystery of the Crystal Portal is deeply rooted in hidden objects gameplay, it goes far above and beyond the usual formula. There are three different types of objects you must find in each level: normal, puzzle, and key. Key objects are what really set the game apart from others of its type. When you mouse over a key item, your cursor will turn into a hand. Click on that item and it will you show you a handful of other items that must go inside. There’s no list here that tells you what to find…

…Mystery of the Crystal Portal is - in my opinion - the best hidden objects game to come along in quite a while. It does so many things different from the norm and makes for a fun and unique experience that shouldn’t be passed up. It’s a true work of art that everyone should experience at least once.”

Alabama Smith in the Quest of Fate walkthrough

Gamezebo

“Forget Hannah Montana, now we’ve got Alabama Smith, in his latest adventure: Aabama Smith in the Quest of Fate. OK, despite this time-traveling hero’s cheesy name (what were the developers thinking?), this sequel - which successfully fuses hidden-object game (”HOG”) mechanics with point-and-click adventure gameplay elements - does manage to deliver a memorable ride.

In case you haven’t clicked through the original Alabama Smith game (Alabama Smith in Escape from Pompeii) — ok, so I’m still giggling at this guy’s name– the young archaeologist has access to a magical talisman called the Amulet of Time, which lets him visit places in the past to help solve a mystery in contemporary times. After visiting Pompeii - then and now - Alabama heads to Peru’s Macchu Picchu with his girlfriend, the attractive Anastasia, to stop a mysterious nemesis from finding powerful relics that can grant him power over the world…

…Visually speaking, the game impresses, including loads of animation during the game-play and cut-scene sequences. Too bad the soundtrack repeats itself a little too much…

…HOG fans and adventure game seekers alike should find something they’ll enjoy in Alabama Smith in the Quest of Fate. Again, it’s not a HOG game with some adventuring thrown in, which is the trend these days, but the latter is what will dominate much of the gameplay.”

JayisGames

“…Alabama Smith is built on an adventure game skeleton, making its central focus exploration, inventory management, and puzzle solving. Most of the tasks you’ll complete involve finding lists of hidden objects, making it a fine example of a hybrid casual game….

…Alabama Smith in the Quest of Fate takes a refreshing turn away from hidden object territory with its strong adventure slant. Inventory puzzles are where the challenge rests, and you aren’t punished for mis-clicks or for using the hint button. This is not a game about getting a high score because you saw the camouflage snake hidden in the background faster than everybody else. This is a casual adventure game with real puzzles to solve….

…Regardless of a few puzzle-related fumbles (and the fact that Peru isn’t as epic a setting as Pompeii), Alabama Smith in the Quest of Fate manages to pick up the ball and score. Even though it’s more adventure than it is hidden object, fans of both genres will find something to love in this well-made game.”

Elementals – The Magic Key walkthrough

It Expressions

“Right from the first scene, Elementals The Magic Key stamps itself as a true interactive adventure game, not just another good hidden object offering with mini puzzles to solve. Your interaction is required within the first scene immediately and instinctively you feel that this game is going to be good IHOG.

In each scene you will be given a list of goals to complete. In usual fashion, your cursor will change shape over objects and items that are useful, it will change to a eye if the items needs to be looked at more closely, gears to place objects from inventory or perform actions and so on. Objects may sparkle indicating you need to pay some form of attention to them. You will find a friend, called Felly, that will tag along and help you when the going gets tough. Actually Felly is like the hint button, and while the game has unlimited hints, you do have to wait for it to recharge after using a hint. ..

…Elementals The Magic Key graphics are superb and the entire production first rate. While it is challenging, it isn’t too difficult and mini games and puzzles can be skipped if they are proving to be too tough at that time. The good part is you can always go back and replay the puzzles as a bonus feature of the game.

Elementals The Magic Key is highly recommended with good length and is right up there with the best games produced in the interactive adventure genre. There are 7 chapters, 30 mini games and puzzles to complete, plus 14 battles that are entwined within the main game and 6 bonus battles that are unlocked after you complete those. Play Elementals The Magic Key IHOG soon. You won’t be sorry.”

Casual Explosion

“…Elementals: The Magic Key is a new hidden object adventure game from Lucky Soft. It can be described as just a tad Iblardesque, due to the floating sky islands that make up the fantasy world of Eiron in which the game is set. You play the character of Albert, a young neophyte magician in training at the Academy, a school for conjurers, magicians, sorcerers, and wizards. As two of the few students at the school, you and your much more intelligent sister Lillian have free reign of the campus… until a disgraced former student (seeking revenge, as disgraced former students always do) returns and kidnaps your sister! Not only that, but the big-eared, green-stripe-in-his-hair bully breaks the Great Key of Eiron into its six base elemental pieces! I needn’t point out that such a fracture can only spell trouble for the delicate balance of elements in the world! It’s up to you as Albert - and your (also much more intelligent) familiar and sidekick Felly - to recover the fragments and save Lillian…

…Like many hidden object adventure games, you have an inventory that fills up with items you can later select to use on objects in the background. Mousing over the scene often reveals objects that can be interacted with, signalled by a change in the mouse pointer. A set of gears means the object can be manipulated somehow, a set of boots means it’s an exit, a mouth means it’s someone (or something) you can talk to, etc. Many, many miscellaneous and extraneous bits of scenery can be clicked on for a description, a neat effect that I wish many other games would copy…

…Elementals: The Magic Key is a gorgeous-looking game and I found its story and world to be very well thought out, but also unengaging and slow to get into. The game throws so many new fantasy elements at the player at once that it’s hard to care about all of them. In fact I didn’t even realize that Albert was actually in the Academy building (as opposed to his own home) until the game mentioned that the library we were about to enter was the Academy library. But I did eventually get into the story, to which I can only credit the excellent artwork.”

Valerie Porter and the Scarlet Scandal walkthrough

Casual Explosion

“…Valerie Porter is a hidden object adventure game, and quite an active one at that. Like most hidden object games, gameplay primarily involves searching a scene strewn with all manner of knickknacks and junk. You have a list of specific objects to find; clicking on one of these items removes it from the scene and your list. After finding all the objects, you move to the next scene. And so on. Hidden object games are the most popular casual games…

…Though technically Valerie Porter is a hidden object adventure game, it’s a limited one with an inventory/puzzle system confined to individual scenes. Among your list of items to find you’ll see tasks or items written in red script. These require some sort of interaction between an item in your inventory and a portion of the scene. Using a key to unlock a filing cabinet in order to deposit a file, for example…

…The game was most impressive with these rather clever minigames… Equally impressive are the character voice overs; almost every line is spoken, which helps animate the slightly predictable plot…

…However, I can’t give out all gold stars… the game is displayed in the inexcusably low resolution of 800×600 pixels! Though there are few tiny objects to get muddled at that resolution, now and then I had to waste a hint on an object (some rosary beads resting on a plate of food) that I probably would have been able to spot at 1024×768 or higher. Probably. Maybe. It’s 2009, friends! We’ve all got newer computers that blur images when they’re upsampled to our monitors’ native screen depths!”
