The HOG, 'Sprill' has been available to download from BFG for a long while now but I had to write a few words in appreciation of what I consider to be an excellent Hidden Object Game.

The graphics are a delight and the objects can be clearly seen but not all of them in obvious view.

There is no timer but at the end of the game you will be informed of how long it took you to complete the game. Therefore, as I and my grandson have done, you can keep on playing the game through from the start by changing the username, thereby trying to beat your previous time taken.

There are a number of mechanical type puzzles which are not particularly difficult but which do require some thought.

There are hints provided and if you run low on hints a small question mark may be found in following locations which you can click on to increase your hints to 3.

I really do think this is an excellent HOG and I thought I would mention it here as I cannot recall there being too much mentioned about it here on Gameboomers in the past wave

Do a search on Sprill and you can see just about everyone loved it.

I've played so many in the last few months I get confused as to which one that was...lol and some are unfinished.


Prices are going up everywhere except in our incomes.

Must have appeared when I was away during a particularly bad time before a family bereavement. Glad you liked it NYLady wave

This game is a great one to play with children. The little Sprill character is cute and the aliens aren't really scary, just impatient and bossy. For those who complain about short games, I swear this was a marathon! It just went on and on and on. I loved the variety of "vessels" they had gathered underwater. The hidden objects were modern and I didn't even need a dictionary to understand what I was searching for. Cute game and very relaxing with no timers to worry about.

I am looking for a walkthrough for Sprill. I have searched several places including here and haven't found one. If someone knows where there is one, please point me in that direction.
Thank you for any help you can be.

Mine had a bug, repeated downloads didn't help. One of the puzzles got stuck when solved and the game couldn't go on. Just kept returning to the puzzle. Other than that I agree it is really well done.

Cherie, I didn't have any luck either. But if you are having a problem, you can can ask here and a member may be able to help.

Cnmoore, did you contact the folks where you bought the game for help?

Cherie, I am sorry, I can't locate one either. If you need help finding something in a screen, you can take a screenshot and email it to me and I'll find it for you.

Cnmoore, I am sorry you encountered a glitch. Have you contacted the place you downloaded from for help?

EDIT: Hi L4L lol We are in sync this evening.
