## What is The Princess Case?

Getting the biggest scoop of her career was never so hard for one intrepid reporter. How could a simple news story turn into a police investigation. 

The media were all smiles as the royal couple set off on their honeymoon trip. A reporter with New York’s People Mag, Lois Wheeler was the first on the trail of a big exclusive. But when she finds her way into the newly-weds' hotel, Lois gets more than she bargained for. 

* UNLOCK THE FULL VERSION DIRECTLY IN THE GAME *

Instead of interviewing the couple of the moment, she finds herself tangled up in an international kidnapping case. And before she knows it the FBI are involved. 

Thrown into a situation unlike any she has faced in her career, Lois has to use her investigative skills and gift for languages to rise to the occasion. Seek out the objects used to commit the kidnapping and begin your investigation. 

Use your reporting skills and powers of observation and deduction to evade the trickiest of situations.

### 5/5 — Nice Game

*2026-02-21*

I enjoyed this game.

### 5/5 — ausgezeichnet

*2017-10-06*

Der Kauf der Vollversion lohnt sich. Auf meinem iPAD läuft das Spiel auch nach dem Kauf einwandfrei. Ein sehr schönes kniffligesWimmelbild-Abenteuer mit einer spannenden Geschichte und abwechslungsreichen Aufgaben und sehr schönen Bildern. In manchen Szenen muss man das Tablett nach links oder rechts schwenken um sehr gut Versteckte Objekte am Bildrand zu finden.

### 5/5 — It's great

I wish that I knew what I was supposed to find! Could you provide a picture of what we are supposed to find. Another thing some pictures are too dark to find anything - UGH!

### 1/5 — Énervée

*2016-11-09*

Après avoir payer, je me retrouve bloquée, malgré les aides qu'ils fournissent.
La solution ne fonctionne pas.
Super !!
Résultat, j'ai payé et ne peux pas joué.
😡

### 2/5 — Meh doesn't work!

*2016-09-17*

This game has the potential to be really enjoyable however, after purchasing, I can't 'press and hold to scroll through the maps' so I'm stuck at the beginning 🙁

### 1/5 — Hidden objects off screen

*2016-06-19*

I liked the first few games and purchased the full version.  When I got to "the hotel honeymoon suite" two of the hidden objects are off screen.  I can't coolect them and can't progress.  The instructions say something about a map but I can't find it either.  No info on Microids website.

### 1/5 — nul

*2016-04-30*

### 1/5 — Abzocke! Nach Kauf ging nix mehr!

*2015-05-18*

Das Spiel ist voll die Abzocke. Nach Kauf ging es noch ein bisschen aber am nächsten Tag konnte ich es leider auf meinem IPad nicht mehr spielen.
Habe es dann noch ein zweites mal probiert aber wieder der gleiche Mist.Schade ums Geld auch wenns nur 4€ waren.

### 1/5 — The princess case

*2015-05-09, version 1.6*
