For the person looking for where the pipe goes - look in the front of the screen where there seems to be a little steam escaping and put it there.
I'm going to revise my review a little bit. This game was shorter than others from ST. You only visit each scene once in story mode. Some people were able to play story mode within an hour but it took me about two and a half hours. So that part really didn't disappoint me.
I didn't care for the endless mode though. One of my favorite parts of ST games is being able to clear each scene of all the objects. This one is set up to randomly generate a scene and only list 10 objects per scene. Once those are cleared, it randomly brings up another scene with 10 more objects. You never get to totally clear each scene.
If this gameplay had been like other games from ST, I would have given this game 4.5 stars. As it is, I'm only giving it 3 stars because of the way endless mode plays.

If you're looking for an easy, relaxing game this is it. The graphics are pretty good, nothing super tiny or frustrating to find. I liked the clues on the object list, was fun that they make you think just a little bit, for example, It goes caw (a crow) or smell pretty (a perfume bottle). Was also fun to find an item and then have to place it in the scene.
It doesnt have a relaxed mode, it's timed, but gives a very generous amount of time. I only used the hint button once, it seemed to reload quickly. I'll wait to buy until it's a Daily Deal, I heard it's very short.

Played this for 5 mins and stopped. The music is annoying and I hated the response when an item was found. Boring game play.

ST: If it ain't broke, don't fix it! ST has always been the go-to dev for a nice, long, relaxing mindless HOG....don't tweak the formula!

Yes, this game is easier than some, and yes, it's on the short side, but with some games, the rest of the game makes up for this. Here, the clues are, as has been noted by several others, quite creative, and fun. The touches of humor are great. Finding the hidden objects does take a bit of studying the screen, as it should be, IMO, but not so much that your vision is ruined for an hour afterwards. The graphics are bright and colorful. Yes, they "goofed" on the "L"...but, hey, a lot of people born and raised in Chicago don't know that the term is actually "El", short for "Elevated", so that's not an issue. I admit I wish they had familiarized themselves with the zoos here, but again, this doesn't over-ride the pleasant game-play. My family loves this game, I love it, it's a keeper.

This was way to easy for me I finished it in one hour with 15 minutes to spare on trial version. I didn't skip any of the mini puzzles. I would of liked this game better if it were longer, had more of a penatly for random clicking and my cursor was kind of jerky, no option to get rid of the pointer.

I totally agree. It's relaxing even in timed mode because there is so much time given and lots of hints. No itty bitty things to find. Loved the music. For plain HOG it is refreshing. Just played demo so not sure about how long.

It seems it has been a long time since there was a game this good. Hints to finding hidden objects is very clever. Nice challenge and a lot of fun. The music works with the game.
