Hollywood Escape

Rare to see escape games like this. Most of the time in these style of games you reach a point where you get stuck and watch a walkthrough to find the solution but don't know why it was the solution and it's never explained. This game has no nonsense. Didn't need a walkthrough, all the puzzles make sense and if you think hard enough you'll figure them out.

Graphics are great. Didn't notice nod to tv themed rooms until the end "bazinga" - wish I had paid more attention to that. A few puzzles were not related and were just pushing dithers until the right pattern was found (not challenging). The last room was the most annoying - but worth playing the free levels.

I enjoyed this game. The theme was fun, though I have to admit, I missed the nods to the different TV shows because I'm not into TV much. I did find it a little odd that clicking on seemingly unrelated but adjacent parts of the scene would all bring me to the same puzzle. At times I was unsure what in the scene I was actually looking at when I zoomed in because it wasn't where I had clicked. The puzzles were not repetitive, like some other games I've played, which was nice. I liked that some of the puzzles required several steps to solve. I felt like I got my money's worth, and only had to check the walkthrough a couple times.
