Uncle Reg -- I'm listing a few -- I'm sure there are others that I'm forgetting (maybe someone else can add them).
Drawn: The Painted Tower and its sequels
Guardians of Magic: Amanda's Awakening
Age of Enigma: Secret of the Sixth Ghost
Nightmare Adventures: The Witch's Prison (one hidden object screen as a sort of gag)
There are also adventure-lite games without hidden object puzzles that are more whimsical and comedic rather than quest-like. A couple are:
Puzzle Bots
Royal Trouble
The Puzzle Agent games
The Blue Toad Murder Files

You want me to choose the best one? Not an easy job, because they're all good.
I'd start with Nightmare Adventures: The Witch's Prison. Then, if you want something more stylish and unusual, try Age of Enigma. Or if you want something with more traditional graphics, try Guardians of Magic.

Thank you Becky. I've not done much with Big Fish in the past primarily because I could not find actual adventure games - at least not the ones I am used to buying. Among the links on their page, they do list Hidden Object and Adventure as separate categories, but if you select "Adventure" and mouse over the results, you'll see the description Hidden Object anyway. So I never really looked further - until now.  The games you listed here and elsewhere on GB were all a wonderful surprise. I will keep going back and take more time in my searches. So ! I thank you again for that New Pool to go diving in !!
