1893: A World's Fair Mystery review

Quandary (2003): "The actual game is fun and the puzzles are interesting although it is an extremely large gameworld and it's easy to get lost. Getting lost, however, isn't such a bad thing because you get to see more as you find your way around. It's only a problem (or a challenge) if you are trying to arrive at a particular place at an appointed time (i.e. to meet someone) because the game includes a 'clock' that advances incrementally as you perform actions."
