Liking this game so far. No problems with downloading or installing (though it did take awhile , using IE), hints are readily available, storyline is good, hidden objects aren't that hard to spot, music is good. 1 out of 3 good ones this week!

Fair warning before you download this game. It was fun until I got to giving the snake the milk and it crashes at this point every time. I Checked forums on other sites and this is apparently a bug that needs fixing because it's happening to a lot of people.

A*****come on -- the game is half-way decent right up to the point where it crashes. I get kicked out when I unbolt the upper half of the mask. which is further along than another player got. This is getting tedious, every week a new game failure. Help.

Very glitchy. It thinks you still need to do something when you've already done it. Very tempermental--have to click in just the right spot. Graphics weren't my cup of tea, to put it kindly. Just not worth the frustration.

Another game where the scan and first part of the download is short but then it takes forever to finish. Have had problems with all the games like that. I would like games that download easily and don't take forever to finish loading.

I'm stuck at a point where you make the poster and have to give it to 'MECH'. It seems it's impossible to give it to him. I tried clicking hint but it did not work. Is there any way to solve this problem or is it just another bug?

I enjoyed this game. It was just hard enough to be somewhat challenging, but I didn't have to go looking for a walkthrough to complete it. Didn't have any crashing problems. Download took about 30 minutes, but the good games are usually a longer download and I don't mind the wait. For the lever, you need to have two broken pieces of lever and melted ore to fix it in the mold. :)

The game was fun, but some of the minigames got a little boring at times. For the person who asked about giving the drawing to Mech, you don't give it to him, you put it on the table that you got the blueprint from, to his left.

I really wanted to finish this one. I even went looking for a walkthrough to see how it ended because I can't get past the snake/milk issue. After 6 crashes and install/reinstall 4 times...I'm done. I can't get the Candy game to work either so I'm left with Dracula 5 for the week. I hope one of these games work or I'm done with this site after just 2 months. I sent the issue to support and have yet to hear back.

Lucky you get the refrigerator handle and go the refrigerator and put the handle on and the milk is there. You can give the snake the milk.

IMO this game has a good story line, awesome graphics, was challenging! However, just like everyone else- It started to crash after the fourth/fifth character was introduced. I know it is not my computer either!

I am really getting fed up with the quality of the games. I resent paying for a service that Shockwave cannot seem to provide. If they don't get their act together soon, I for one, will not continue with my membership. Come on Shockwave, you can do much better than this!

I have the paint and it is on the alter and I have the red cloth and garland but when I try and out the paint on the alter it doesn't let me. I am about ready to delete the game. This Hidden object games are either easy and I solve them in a few hour or so difficult that I want to pull my hair out in frustration!!!!

The mold and ladle go to the place where the fire Monster is. you will out put both on the fire pit. You will need the iron bar and broken lever to go into the mold. The ore goes into the ladle then you pour into the mold, the ticket goes to the guard next to where you got the ticket. You give it to him then there is some dialog and you go to a train station.

Got the same Twisted Lands Insominiac message, not the game name. And it keeps crashing a few seconds further into the scene with the molten Golem, every reboot gives you about four more seconds. It was a bit interesting until then, slow and the graphics are mediocre but at least it WAS interesting. deleting......

I finally finished the game . There was a game released a few weeks with the same theme MEXICAN DAY OF THE DEAD. Only that time it was a man recusing the his girl friend and I am tired of all the vampire games. I might have to find another game site because either there are no games I want or the games are too easy.
