I had a great time playing this with my wife. It's a hidden object game with a few more puzzles thrown in, all framed around the short-term goals of solving silly mysteries. It's very well made and very pleasant.

I used to love this game as a child, so I was stoked to see it on Steam. I read some reviews, but also saw that crashes and stuff were fixed, so I bough it. Not even 0.2 hours in there were multiple issues. The mouse was just missing. It was either not there or replaced by a black box that seemed to paint the screen partly black when moved, as if it was a paint.net paintbrush. The game also tends to crash, making this game unplayable.
I assume this game is just too old to run on modern systems, I don't recommend buying this game unless you manage to get it running on an older (virtual) machine.

Felt like writing a positive review for this game. I had quite some fun with the colorful scenes and the references the game has to the Diner Dash series. After a couple of levels, obviously you've kind of seen everything gameplay-wise, but I don't hold that against casual games like this. It had enough variety in it to keep me interested to the end, and I'd recommend it to fans of hidden object games and/or Diner Dash.
P.S.: I had no technical issues whatsoever, and tried it on my desktop PC, my own laptop and someone else's laptop.

I was hesitant to buy this game as most of the reviews say it didn't work but I actually didn't have any trouble with it (I have windows 10) other than the window being very small, but this was easily fixed by exiting out of full screen mode and changing my display scale to 250%.
I'm not super into hidden objects games but this one is actually really fun and not too challenging. As someone who really loves the diner dash franchise it was great to see all my favorite characters together. If you like the diner dash series and puzzle/light-hearted mystery games then this is the game for you!

It is a great game - in fact, one of only few 'hidden objects' casual games I was able to play :)
But then I am a big fan of DinerTown adventures like 'Avenue Flo'. And here we not only meet Flo herself and all her friends, but we actually play as Bernie, one of the most memorable DinerTown characters, who tries to be a detective. And that means - not only just plain hidden-objects-searching, but quite a lot of other diverse puzzles as well!
The only drawback of this game is that unfortunately PlayFirst has abandoned PC market for several years already and they are no longer with us to support their great games. Which means - no trading cards, no achievements, no Steam sales, no updates - and many negative reviews from people who couldn't launch the game for some reason.
And I have to add that I had no trouble launching and running it with all the videos on my rather new PC.
