    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------



    We have downloaded the new iPhone game called ‘The Secret of Grisly Manor’ and some say this app is just as good as ‘Myst’, personally Myst is much better but we can see much potential for Grisly Manor, anyway what do we think of the game itself.

    This is a very good game that keeps you busy for a while and when we say for a while we actually mean about 20 to 30 minutes, now at £1.19 for the iPhone app this is a little too expensive for our liking, there is obviously going to be a sequel and we cannot wait for this next installment.

    The game is brilliant on the iPhone 4 with crisp clear images and very smooth gameplay, going from room to room can take a while but yet still not too bad on the grand scale of things, we have seen worse.

    The game is all about a grandpa who hides his work and you have to find inventory to unlock other rooms, draws and solve puzzles and much more, you have to find objects and clues around the house to solve each puzzle.

    Main features Include: A massive adventure that fits into your pocket – over 50 locations to explore, Beautiful graphics that draw you into this mesmerizing adventure, Fantastic soundtrack and sound effects, Lots of items to collect and puzzles to solve, iOS4 compatible and Auto saves your position.

    When they say over 50 locations to explore that is a little let down because you are expected to go to 50 new places, yet the 50 locations is within the house where each puzzle is, if they say locations we expect 50 different levels to be fair.

    Overall Summary: This is a very good game and has a lot of potential, it gets you hooked straight away and is hard to put down, but for £1.19 for 30 minutes of your life is a waste of money. Hopefully the developers will give us free app update with new levels, because if they charge us for each new update that would be a rip-off and maybe they should have just released a full game for something like £4.99, you know a game that lasts weeks instead of minutes. We do like this game and can see it being very popular indeed but we suggest getting ‘Myst’ as there is much more gameplay, maybe we are wrong and Grisly Manor will get much better. For more information and option to download please visit iTunes.

    Hi I really like this game, but I'm so stuck playing it! I have only three items on me: matches, a goldfish bowl with water and a goldfish in it and a ticket with 6 numbers on it grouped in twos. I've gone all over the house trying the items in every way possible and nothing is working! I looked through the thread to find help but I'm still stuck. Can someone tell me in much greater detail what is my next step- and I haven't got a clue what to do do with the falcons :(
    And how do u get tithe study because right now ya impossible. I've tried setting the clock to evening times to match what I see outside but nothing happened
    Help!
