the game had a puzzle flow that was easy to follow. It abruptly ended but was fun for a few hours.
I loved that real actors played the characters! Game play was 3+ hours.
The intro video was impressive.
All other videos & cut scenes had no audio at all including the big finale. No sound!
An interesting adventure with good music, graphics, journal, hint/skip button.
You have an option to do a jigsaw puzzle instead of HOS's.
Collectibles - coins, artifacts. Use coins to buy the penguin stuff for his igloo, cute!
The wheel/plank puzzle - I had no idea why I could switch some planks and not others. Rotating the wheel didn't help. I skipped it.
moon phase puzzle - rule of thumb is that the solution to all puzzles should be found in the game somewhere.
The HOS's were well drawn but were always a big pile of stuff. I felt like I was cleaning a bunch of kids' rooms.
This was a delightfully challenging Hidden Object game with great adventure and a wide variety of puzzles. The ending sequence was epic and jaw-dropping. If you are choosing games based on the "casualness" of them, this one tends toward a more challenging (and rewarding) experience! Hidden Object puzzles were also a cut above in detail and depth. This was one of the better games i've played in recent months and the effects and difficulty of puzzles were intriguing. The game has withstood the test of time, as relevant today as it was at its release years ago. Highly recommended!
Mystery Expedition: Prisoners of Ice is a fair Hidden Object Game.
The storyline and the gameplay are ok.
As far as H.O. Scenes are concerned, their quality is very fluctuating. Some of them look like a bunch of stuffs thrown out there, while others were rather good or high quality and very enjoyable HOS.
The puzzles/mini-games difficulty level ranks from easy to average. The least one can say is that there is an effort to implement innovative puzzles in Mystery Expedition: Prisoners of Ice.
Graphics are good. I usually don't like the use of videos in-game and still don't, but these ones.. well, they truly made me laugh, like in front of some cheap production movie ;D
I do recommend this game.
It's quite short though and can be completed in less than 2 hours and a half.
(I spent almost 7 hours on the game because I had to go through 3 runs to finally manage to gather all "Beyond objects" (achievement related), after several long minutes of screening).
If you're low on money wait for a sale. Otherwise get it now. In both cases, playing Mystery Expedition: Prisoners of Ice is a nice way to entertain a few hours.
I liked this one. Standard HOG with puzzles. Decent storyline. They tried some low quality FMV for the actors. It works. Um. Theres coins to collect to buy stuff for a penquin in a igloo. I don't know. Didn't find them all. It does have a map which is always nice. I'm going to recomend this one. Maybe wait for a sale, maybe not. Worth buying at any rate.
Not the best hidden object game I've played, but by far not the worst either. Somewhere at 3.5 out of 5...-ish.
Pro:
+ no whiny female main character (why does nearly every hidden object game have these?)
+ not too many facepalm moments
+ rather fresh setting (no pun intended)
+ two sorts of collectibles
+ about 4 hours of gameplay
+ you can unlock fancy stuff for your (pet?) penguin
Contra:
- cutscenes are completely muted while the rest of the game has decent sound
- I didn't get the story at all, apart from being stuck somewhere near the north pole
- about 4 hours of gameplay
- no bonus chapter
I liked the game until the last part where the jigsaw puzzles were suddenly no longer an option, and the ending was really abrupt and didn't solve anything. Still, I had fun for 80% of the time.

The Game Review
Game Visuals
I want to mention that the visuals in the game are well done. The visuals can be adjusted in the game's option menu.
Game Audio
I want to mention that audio for the game is well done. Even though the audio is somewhat simplistic and repetitive. The audio can be adjusted in the game's option menu as well.
Gameplay
There are three different difficulty game modes to choose from: Easy; Expert and Adventure.
The notebook keeps track of progression in the game. Such as story events and clues.
There is an interactive map in the game. It allows the player to fast travel between each location quickly without having the need to constantly backtrack. It also indicates that there are a variety of tasks that can be completed at various locations within the game. The interactive map is automatically given at the start of the game.
There is a padlock feature that is available to lock the inventory panel in place to make it stationary.
The hidden object scenes consist of the following: Traditional word list. Some of these hidden object scenes may require little or no interaction.
The puzzles are fairy easy to solve without having the need to skip any of them.
There is a pet penguin in the game. The coins are used to buy items for the penguin and most of the items are not fairly cheap. The coins are scattered throughout the game for the player to find.
There is a collectible in the game: Relics. There are ten of them and they are scattered throughout the game for the player to find as well.
There are morphing objects (beyond objects.) They are scattered throughout the game for the player to find as well.
There are twenty-eight different achievements that can be unlocked from playing the game. Each of these achievements does come with some requirements that need to be completed before they can be unlocked.
Miscellaneous
Final thoughts: I have found the game enjoyable to a certain extent. The replay value for the game is low. I would recommend this game, but not at the game's full price value.
need a refund the dame thing will not play. tried for almost 30 minutes. not sure whats up with it. would like to play it. I checked it out . I have windows 10. It just will not loadup to start.
Absolute rubbish it doesnt work. How do i get my money back?
Your grandfather wanted to find a treasure that he heard when he was stranded in the North Pole. He never returned from his second expedition. But you, you decide to find what happened. And guess what? You're stranded too... and with a traitor in the crew...
The plot is simple though I found the story short. The hours I've spent reflect the guide I've made about objects. But still, if the plot was beginning well, you have some holes: what happened to the captain? How come the mechanic was taken by the evil spirit if he was a prisonner?
The puzzles, if for some, are easy, for others, are quite a challenge. I had to skip some because it was a pain in the ass to try to catch the fish or you need to know the moon phases or you don't have real indication about how to solve that. The HO scenes were normal, though some items are difficult to spot, as they can be confused as part of another (got the case with a German grenade, where the handle was the same as a tool).
The official achievements can be done quickly. Nothing is rewarding you in the end for defeating evil, fishing for the Inuit, etc... But than you have hidden ones: 1 per relic or beyond object (object disappearing and reappearin)... Not every scene has them and sometimes, a beyond object and a relic can be in the same one.
The graphics are alright, but the characters are filmed actors. I would say that it's maybe weird to see them like that in a drawn scene. While it's maybe a nice intention, I didn't find that so... well-executed. The actors are correct, it's not that but how it was integrated.... during these scenes, I had pixels around....
The little nice add is to find coins to buy the pingoo a pool, a tv, a basket-ball. It's making me smile and while it's not very developed, it's still a little feature that is appreciated.
The soundtrack is alright too.
So, while I'm feeling perhaps mixed for this game, I'll still recommend to grab it with a nice discount. It's enjoyable, with "easy" achievements for those who loves 100%.
