My biggest challenge ended up being able to know what the heck I was looking for in the first place; either I need to watch the show more, or bone up on period history, because looking for a flagon created all sorts of problems for me. In some ways, figuring out what was what was still an enjoyable aspect of the game. Simply put, the gameplay, familiar characters and additional elements make for an interesting ride.
Downton Abbey: Mysteries of the Manor
Activision · Sep 15, 2015
About
It was one of the most exciting days of the year for everyone living and working at Downton Abbey. The day of the village fete had arrived and everyone joined in the day’s festivities. A great time was had by all, however upon returning to the Abbey it was quickly discovered that all was not well... The house had been ransacked! An unknown intruder had been through every room, stealing priceless objects and scattering items everywhere! With the Crawley family’s fortunes on the line and with so many Abbey residents with secrets to hide, no one is safe and everyone is a suspect. The Earl of Grantham has hired YOU to help return the castle to its original state of glory. However, the real reason for your employment is to uncover the real mystery of the break-in as discreetly as possible.

- 4.0You’ll often run out of energy on your searches, leaving you to wait it out for the meter to recharge before going back to chip away at potential success. This meter runs out too quickly, meaning you don’t get to play much before you’re stuck waiting for something to do. Maybe it’d be ok if your anticipation was high but odds are that you’ll just stop caring all that much, eventually moving onto something (anything) better than this. The brief moments of satisfaction as you progress a teensy bit towards the next scene really aren’t enough. Stick with the show.
