I like all the Montgomery Fox games and this one is no different. Scene after scene of Hidden Objects, with many quite cleverly hidden. The graphics and music are "cartoony" which is just fine. There is a story that takes you from scene to scene and you will revisit each scene 3 times so you have a lot of bang for your buck . There are 5 mini games which you will replay 3x each...they are pretty simple. If you want to kill some time in an enjoyable fashion without stress or brain strain, this is a good game.

At first glance, this game looks like child's play, but some of these items are pretty challenging to find, especially the Magnifying Glass parts. The title and the graphics fool you into thinking this isn't going to be a challenging enough game for adults but it turned out to be a really fun and relaxing game!

The Montgomery Fox series was originally developed by Paprikari Games, the same people who created the amazing  Mortimer Beckett series. Cateia Games has taken over the series, remastering them while releasing a brand new edition called Montgomery Fox and the Revenge of Victor Draven. Although all three are basically the same game, with the same features, each game has a different "case" to solve,
 
Cateia Games stayed true to the original concept in this remastered version while making the game more user-friendly. They added additional  Hidden Object Modes, such as Silhouetted Shapes and Scrambled Words, as well as the ability to replay any of the HO levels. They added a Challenge Mode, which is a Timed Mode with no Hints available, but it also has more frequent specialty items available, including a unique feature that requires you to cycle through different words until you find the correct item that is available in the scene.

HIDDEN OBJECT SCENES 
There are 20 different level locations that are played in three stages for a total of 60 Hidden Object Scenes. You can scroll to zoom in for both the main scene and the Zoom Zone.  

SPECIAL FEATURES 
Items listed in Blue must be cycled through until you find the correct item that is located in the current scene. This is a cool feature that makes it a bit more challenging because you have to figure out which of the 3-4 words are the available item. Scrambled Words and an occasional Silhouetted Shape item will also appear on the list, which shows three objects at a time.

There is a secondary Zoom Zone scene available in each HO scene. Originally, the zoom zones continued to sparkle throughout the game, but this feature was tweaked so that it stopped sparkling if there were no items available. The sparkles will reappear as items are found, and new objects are listed. My only complaint with the Zoom Zone is that it doesn't automatically close after you find the items, nor do the items highlight for the Zoom Zone so you have to keep checking the Zoom Zone as new items are added.  

COLLECTIBLES 
Each of the 60 Levels has a section of a Magnifying Glass to locate (shown as a pictured item on the left side of the inventory bar) as well as a pictured Collectible Trophy (shown on the right side of the inventory bar) These collectible's show up as achievements on in Montgomery Fox's office after each HO level. You will also receive a new Journal Entry.  

MINI-GAMES 
There are only five different types of Mini-games which are available in four different stages. These are simple games, such as rotating discs to get a ball from point A to B or swapping colored balls until all balls in their matching colored tubes.
