4 out of 5 stars a lot of fun, and ideal for the hearing impaired. Probably suitable for some vision impairment.   July 18, 2009

Hidden Mysteries--Buckingham Palace is a pretty, if short, little game. It's mostly a hidden object game (HOG), with a few relatively easy puzzles thrown in. Many of the puzzles may be solved for you if you wish, and the unique hint system for the hidden objects is worth noting. While there are enough searching locations to avoid boredom, in my opinion, only the crowns move, so it's not the hardest HOG around. This is a plus to me because I was looking for a relatively easy, non-brainbusting game. The informational tidbits about the rooms were fun and weren't, to my recollection, repeated even when the room itself was.

"Buckingham Palace" is fine for the hearing impaired because there is no dialogue, and the informational tidbits are fully captioned for all. I'm not even sure whether I put the sound on at all, although I usually try to do so at least once. It would probably be fine for a pretty large amount of vision loss as well because the hint bubbles are nicely large, and the objects tend to be so as well.

This is an interesting game, with views of the interiors of selected rooms of Buckingham Palace and some historical facts about the British monarchy. Some of the articles are well hidden and there are a few puzzles to solve that are not too difficult. There is no way to save your game as you go along, except to quit the game and then it will save automatically. If your computer finds an error and suddenly stops the game, you will have to start over from the last time you quit the game. I found this a great inconvenience. Otherwise, this game is fun and gives a few hours of entertainment.

3 out of 5 stars Morbid music   August 20, 2010

Not a bad game, although they could have hidden the items a lot better. The worst part was the morbid music. Made me feel like I was at a funeral. Depressing. My advice - keep the sound off.
