3 Cards to Midnight has a clever storyline, and a wonderful twist on finding hidden objects. you need to find objects that go with the keyword(s). The boys were fascinated by the cut scenes, but we all agreed the poor character looked like she was on drugs, and the story was scary. The levels were well done and friendly enough. I liked the ability to skip the puzzles. Although they were4e fun, it can be frustrating to get stuck, and being able to skip through it can be a benefit. We would not label 3 Cards to Midnight as a family game, it was definitely for older audiences.
