A fun- filled supernatural theme, not scary for children
I am having great fun with the game, especially with the themes of smoke-and-mirrors, reversals etc.
The carnival theme and " magic" people is fun, with players gaining magic powers by clicking on blue flames in every scene. However this is at the expense of stars which give you hints- I seem to be gaining very few during the levels, and only getting a paltry 2-3 at the end of every successful level.
Luckily the game is not too difficult, with just enough puzzles to make you slightly frustrated, but with perseverance you can guess the strategy.
Well done, Haiku games. I love all your games.

Trying TOO Hard!
I've played all the escape games from Haiku, and I've also played tons of other escape games. Haiku still is the very best, but this recent Midnight Carnival is very frustrating in places. It almost seems like the game designers are trying to "out cute" each other, and it doesn't work. For example: The balloon game seems self explanatory. Put the 5 balloons in order by color. I tried every possible combination, and nothing worked. So, I began using clues to find out what I was doing wrong. I bought ALL the clues available, and it didn't help. I couldn't even buy my way out, because the solution regenerates. The clues seemed to clearly say that all 5 colors had to be used, but not the case! That really upset me. Now I'm stuck trying to unlock a drawer with flags and clocks as clues. I figured it out fairly easily, thinking how neat a design it was, but NOOOOO! The order of letters which SHOULD work, does not work. Trying too hard...but still the very best escape games I've found. They will be leaving a great LEGACY!
Another thing that I enjoy is the story which accompanies the game. They are pretty well thought out, which I cannot say for other games!
