Oldbroad and Marian, I think I reviewed Brightstone Mysteries: The Others on the big casual game review thread, so maybe BFG removed it. Anyway the game is very good. I remember having to get used to the graphic style and that the adventuring is challenging or was for me.
Thanks to Oldbroad, I found the game on BFG by searching Hotel. The game turns up on page 8 or so of the voluminous results for that word.

You are most welcome, Marlene! I'm glad I was able to think of that series. 8dognight, I am finding Unfinished Tales: Illicit Love here. IWin has been around pretty much as long as Big Fish, but having never purchased anything from them I don't know whether I would recommend the site or not. I would read their privacy policy as that might help you make a decision. I just looked up Brightstone Mysteries: The Others and it was released on Steam a little over a week ago. Big Fish does not have it yet, but perhaps it will be released there later on. There is also a new New York Mysteries game coming but it landed on Steam first. You can read about it here. Hopefully Big Fish will get it pretty soon. 5 BN's last game also popped up on Steam before it was released on Big Fish.

8dognight, are you suggesting that Brightstone Mysteries: The Others is an old game that has been revived? It actually sounded familiar to me but I thought I might be getting confused with Dana Knightsone OR that it was supposed to be a series that never materialized.. Or were you thinking of Hotel which is a Brightstone Mysteries game? Or are they the same game with different names? I actually have Hotel on disc and never played it. I'm going to re-purchase it on Steam when there is a sale.
Thanks for the head's up on the New York Mysteries game Marian!

I was just checking out Brightstone Mysteries again and now, having taken a closer look at it, it looks like a game that was released on Big Fish years ago called The Others, which was a very good game. Not sure why they have changed the name if it is the same game, though. Now that I think about it, though, what used to be the developer Paprikari Games (Mortimer Beckett, Montgomery Fox, and The Others) now have a publisher's name of Cateia on them, leading me to think that Cateia bought out Paprikari. And Playrix bought Cateia a few years ago. It's hard to keep up because who owns who can change so rapidly in the gaming industry.
Big Fish also carries Hotel.

Apparently Hotel is sometimes called Brightstone Mysteries: Paranormal Hotel and The Others is now going by Brightstone Mysteries: The Others. Two different games in a "series". https://store.steampowered.com/search/?term=brightstone+mysteriesThanks for clarifying which game you are playing!

Can you look at a video walkthrough that shows the puzzle being solved? I do notice, however, that the walkthrough says this: This guide will show solutions for non-random puzzles. Perhaps that is why your puzzle in the guide did not show the solution. The person who wrote that is an excellent guide writer - although not to say that she can't make a mistake. __________________________________ As for me, I just finished Shadowplay: Whispers of the Past CE. It was a solid Madhead game - not the best game I have ever played, but well done.
