Your a reporter who needs to locate the "Holy Grail" because it is your destiny!  And God is sending you her own personal guardian Angel to help you! 

WHAT???!

You're following up on the leads an old priest started on the search and you overall the story is fast paced, but some of the items to find are outlined in total darkness where the only way you can find them is clicking all the area or use the HINT button.

The ending?  "What?  That's it?" Basically it stopped short where a little animation would have lessen my disappointment how short it was and there wasn't even a choice by the player to see if 

SPOILER ALERT BELOW:  Highlight below to view

Above is a screen shot of our "Hero's" of the game trying to stop an evil group of people resurrect the one and only Cain from Cain and Abel.  And yes that dude is a Vampire.

We are searching for the mysterious rare books, but later find out it is to an ancient spell to bring a very pissed off Cain back for payback.

You need a special book, blood from a descent, and a body to hold him (a~la the vampire).

Can you trust your teammate or will you discover your own truth?

In some of this hide-and-seek and the annoying mind Mastermind game where you have to find the right pattern of marbles and the right colors to boot with some many chances to figure it out.

Some items are darken in the scene to find and you can click until your hearts content because there is no clock to find the items.  If you need help there is a HINT button, of course.

The BONUS scenes are like 5 and BORING. 

Linda should have let Tom do one thing ~ get to the end to see what she turned down.

In this educational game that cost me only .99 cents to play I learned several facts about Hawaii that you can easily look up on the Internet.

True having the find the hidden objects (including several shells to open the additional levels) does encourage your brain in top shape, but the ending just left me flat.

Now if they kicked in a 'pop quiz' of all you learned or even real animation and not just some simple photo (above) of a fake you leaving on a private jet it might have made me slightly in a better mood.

Overall I think the concept of attaching facts with the game and learning something new is a great start and should do it for every state and country to broaden the horizon of those who don't know.

A hui hou kakou (Until we meet again).
