The designers of this sequel to "Ravenhearst" have reached a new plateau of excellence in the Hidden Object genre. "Return to Ravenhearst" is gorgeous, fun, challenging and delightful. Perfect for everybody from older kids on up. Way up. I am 79.

You, as detective, return to the creepy old mansion, this time to free the souls of Rose Somerset and her twin daughters Gwendolyn and Charlotte from the clutches of the insane Charles Dalimar, murderer of Emma Ravenhearst. You had freed Emma's soul in the previous game, but she left behind her maid-housekeeper and the two little girls. Charles is kept alive by feeding off the souls of Rose and the children, even though they are dead. The souls cannot rest in peace because they are figuratively shackled to Dalimar. Their ghosts eerily appear, urging you on,as you journey through the game on your way to setting them free.

The environments are superb, filled with special effects, such a flickering candles, leaves that practically fall into your lap and sullen, spitting raindrops that will set you shivering right in your computer chair. There's a marvellous bouncing Victorian trolley car, and everywhere raucously cawing crows, for in this game everything is engineered for atmosphere. One scene is of a ghastly bathroom with a shrieking mannequin in the shower and flies crawling all over the garbage littered everywhere.

The mini-games are wonderful and you have to figure out how to open locks to various areas by solving a puzzle. They're clever, very imaginative and funny. If you absolutely can't figure any of them out, you can by pass them but they're too much fun to avoid unless you have to! There are many walkthroughs in Google if you get stuck.

The music is excellent, and although the sarcastic comments that appear when you click on the wrong thing or get in any kind of clicking frenzy might annoy some, I found them funny and often appropriate.

The Hidden Objects are diabolically well-camouflaged and even with your nose an inch from the screen, you're gonna have to work at finding them. A great evening's entertainment for the whole family if you can all get close enough, and somebody will frequently be yelling "There it is!" Don't know what a kazoo or a carabiner are? You will! You have to find all the objects or you can't move on, but there's a hint option. However, you have to wait a long time for the hint to rev up enough so you can use it.

Enjoy!
