Don't forget about all the Collectibles (25) and Beyond Objects (34) among all else.

Achievements (9) earn you points to show off your journalistic skills. The hidden object scenes offer a variety of searches, some of which are multi-step with puzzles in them. There is a good variety of them, but if you want to skip some of them or all together you can switch to a jigsaw puzzle available instead. The puzzles are all fun and different too. They seem to be a bit easy, but that always depends on you skills.

All in all this hidden object puzzle adventure game is great and is probabaly one of the best in the series.
