Mysteryville is a fun and challenging game for all ages. It is set in a small town where all the cats are disappearing. You are a reporter who stumbles on to the story and must figure out who is taking all the cats and for what reasons. Now most of you know that I love and raise Siamese cats and that I love to write so this really had me intrigued. All the cats are missing from this town and I get to write a story about it well I was hooked from the basic introduction. To start the game you type in your name and you are off and running. The first screen is a map to where you will go in the town.
The locations are a cantina, a lab, a fortunetellers store, an oriental market, police station and an airport, a nunnery and a museum. There is a story that you read along and dialogue with the different characters in the game. This game is similar to Prime suspects/Ravenhurst in that you have a mystery to solve and you solve it by going to different locations and find the objects in the hidden pictures. I found this game more challenging then Ravenhurst as each location is timed and your tips are timed also. It is different and more challenging as you sometimes only have shadows of the things that need to be found or the power goes out and you have a flashlight to search the room with. I play this with my grandsons who just love to try and find the hidden objects in the pictures. They can see them faster sometimes than I can. With it being a timed game if you go over the 3 or so minutes they gives you to find all the clues you can start over in that room, which I liked because with my grandsons being so young it was hard for them to find everything in a location the first time through.
My only two complaints about this game is that sometimes in the storyline the screen goes blurry and that can be hard on your eyes. The second is that once you have played through the game, you have to choose another player name to be able to play again. The game took us about 4 hours to complete which made it a long game but it is addicting so you just dont want to stop. I hope you all have fun with this game and that you have enjoyed this review. I give this game a 10 for graphics and a 8 for ease of play and it too receives "Nana's Wholesome Award".

RE: Video Game Review: Mysteryville
It has nothing to do with black magic. I bought this game awhile back and it was perfectly innocent game. I love the hidden object games. I recently joined bigfishgames.com because instead of spending 10 to 20 dollars per game. I now spend 6.99 per game. I just have to buy one a month for a year. I was doing this anyway, so now I am saving alot of money. My favorite one right now is Dream Chronicles 2. Its a little harder than this one, but very fun, lots of puzzles to figure out. For kids you just about cant beat any of the Mystery Case Files games. THere are quite a few to choose from too.
