Join a family group as you explore some of the sights and ways of life found in America.

Motorhome - Travelling America offers to take you on a road trip across the USA to view the surrounding landscape.  Developed by AVI Games, this title is available in Collector's Edition format bundling a raft of bonus items to supplement the main Hidden Object aspect and mini puzzle game play.  Your role in the game is to accompany a family made up of John and Grace with their daughter Stacy and their dog Lucky as they visit various locations.

The game divides its main content into blocks consisting of six separate challenges.  These challenges will be made up of Hidden Object scenes and mini puzzle games with the former outweighing the latter by at least double.  Both the blocks and individual challenges must be completed in sequential order.  The only diversion being an occasion to jump back to retry a previous challenge to attempt to improve your score.

A fairly standard method of approach has been used when portraying the Hidden Object scene aspect.  The scene will consist of two different levels that each have their own list of items to locate.  These items could be listed as text, silhouettes, images or part of the actual scene.  In some cases you could be asked to solve a riddle to identify an item, look for pairs of objects and sometimes replace an item once found. 

Along with the list of specific items, extra items shown in silhouettes need to be found in order to earn a bonus.  Also featured in a scene will be a raccoon that could pop up anywhere, possibly wearing a natty waistcoat, and a camera. Once found the camera will grab an image of the scene and this will be transferred to a photo album feature that can be accessed.

Once you have completed the current Hidden Object scene, you will be awarded stars that are coloured Red, Blue or Yellow depending on performance plus a number of points.  You are then allowed to move on to the next location which could be another Hidden Object scene or a mini puzzle task.

This title has a series of mini puzzle games which will be randomly presented.  You could be asked to create a pathway by rotating elements, find the differences between two similar scenes, reassemble scenes, complete a sequential labyrinth or one that features numbers.  Other puzzle types could involve arranging cars on a grid, connect items in a flow pattern, move circles to match numbers and turn segments to produce an image.  Points will be awarded for the completion of each puzzle.

Eventually your Motorhome journey will finally arrive at the Grand Canyon and your Motorhome excursion will be completed,  You will be allowed to access its Collector's Edition content.  This will consist of 8 bonus levels, the photo album feature, music player and wallpaper images for your enjoyment.
