The official residence of Britain's royal family since 1837, Buckingham Palace has its fair share of secrets and mysteries. The latest seek-and-find adventure from GameMill Entertainment, Hidden Mysteries: Buckingham Palace, puts you on the trail of a long-lost treasure rumoured to exist somewhere among the palace's 750 rooms. Of course, you don't actually explore all 750 rooms of the palace in the game – it's actually more like a dozen of the palace's "greatest hits," including Admiralty Arch, the Royal Mews, the Queen's Gallery and the Victoria Memorial statue. You'll visit most of the locations more than once across the game's 12 chapters as you search each scene for the clues on your list.
Hidden Mysteries: Buckingham Palace shows improvement over its predecessor, Hidden Mysteries: Civil War in a few respects. Graphics are better, and objects aren't so tiny. There's a creative three-tiered hints system where you spend "Hint Credits" to purchase different levels of hint. You'll have to complete the occasional mini-game, such as deciphering tricky anagrams in an old letter, or arranging portrait paintings in the correct order on the wall of the Queen's Gallery.
Each time you visit a room the game gives you some brief facts about its background, which is mildly interesting – especially for history buffs – but it's no substitute for an actual planned and scripted story. Basically, Hidden Mysteries: Buckingham Palace is a decent hidden object game with an innovative hint system and some interesting inventory-based puzzles.
