Lovely game April 30, 2010
Cynthia M. Shipley (Naperville, Illinois USA)
If you enjoy anything Victorian you have to love the graphics on this one. The music is also a special treat and the objects can be found (no hidden dark spots) but they are also cleverly concealed. Really enjoyed this one. Very relaxing and fun.

I am having a problem with this game working on my computer. I can get it to pull up & play for a short time, but it kicks me off often. I have Windows 7 & it calls for Vista/XP. All other games I own call for the same thing & work perfectly fine. I would really like to play this one!

Challenging! November 20, 2009

Based on Wilkie Collins' 1868 classic "The Moonstone" which was the precursor and inspiration for English mystery fiction including the Sherlock Holmes stories, this is an excellent hidden object game. Atmospheric and authentically nineteenth century with Tchaikovsky to help you get immersed, you as Sergeant Cuff will try and nail the thief of the fabulously valuable Moonstone diamond which has been stolen from a house when there are nine guests present.

Each of the nine suspects has four different scenes devoted to him and you have to travel back and forth from one environment to the next to find the tools necessary to perform functions and unearth additional hidden objects. The graphics are extremely clear but the objects are often very hard to locate. However, there are no anachronisms- in other words, the objects are authentic to the nineteenth century and you won't find a hotdog or a typewriter nestling on a haystack.

"Mystery Masterpiece:The Moonstone" is a great game for the hidden object buff but you're going to have to have very sharp eyes to find everything!

Tough Fun December 31, 2009

A fun hidden object game, the designers of this game certainly made the most of the Victorian-era setting. You play a detective charged with finding evidence and interviewing suspects in the theft of the Moonstone, a massive diamond stolen by British troops from a temple in India. The stone is said to be cursed and, indeed, when it's inherited by Rachel Verinder her life gets quite complicated. Your mission: solve the crime by identifying the suspect.

As a prior reviewer noted, locating the hidden objects requires good eyesight and, I might add, plenty of patience. At times I found myself grumbling over a clue list that included things like "dusty bottle" in a room where there were four bottles, only one of which was the correct one. Fortunately, there's no penalty for incorrect clicking in this game. That's also a good thing considering that at times the game seemed annoyingly particular about exactly *where* you clicked on an item. Since there's also no time limit, I figured that finickiness is tolerable.

While I can't say this is the most fun HOG I've played, it's certainly a good one. I don't recommend it for newbies to the genre due to the game pickiness I mentioned earlier, but for those who like HOGs and want something relaxing to play this fits the bill.

Live in a great novel! April 15, 2010
Jody (Northwest Ohio)
Wilkie Collins The Moonstone is one of my all time favorite novels, so naturally I was thrilled when this game came out.

In several ways, this game is brilliant. It's very atmospheric, and the music is gorgeous. The interiors are very well done and the hidden objects are appropriate for the story line. I liked the option of following one character until he/she was cleared of suspicion and the mechanics of the game did not intrude on the story line. I really had a sense of being in a great Victorian house. I appreciated the very witty allusions to the novel and it's evident that the game's creators love it also.

On the minus side, it dragged a bit. The puzzles seemed repetitive and every now and then I had a sinking feeling of, "Oh no, not the parlor/bedroom/bathroom AGAIN!"

I still enjoyed it, and it's a lot of game.
