Fun Freetime: Hidden Expedition - Smithsonian™ Hope Diamond HD - A Hidden Objects Adventure

Big Fish games recently launched Hidden Expedition: The Smithsonian Hope Diamond on iPhone and iPad, joining the PC and Mac versions of the game. In this first collaboration by the Smithsonian on a video game, Big Fish worked with the world's largest museum and research complex to create the 6^th installment of its popular Hidden Expedition® series.  Hidden Expedition: The Smithsonian Hope Diamond is a hidden object adventure game for download and purchase and primarily appeals to our long standing consumer base of female gamers ages 35-70.  The game has been available for download on PC and Mac on the Big Fish Games website since December.

A few things I really liked - the game is available in multiple languages, including French, German, Japanese, and Russian, so I was able to use it to reinforce German with my kids (not always easy to do with some apps). It is rated 9+, but the cartoon violence is infrequent and mild, so I felt it was pretty much appropriate for my 6-year-old to play. The graphics are good, and the puzzles are fun, too! My daughter and I play games like this together, so she can do some of the easier tasks and I do the more challenging ones.
