Best game for nook.lots of fun. You have to archive somethings for it to load or deregister your device then reregister. Do one of those things and it should work. Also when you start playing go to options and turn on skip puzzle button incase you get stuck. You can also get the walkthrough if you need help. This was the most fun game yet and hope they get alot more like this.

Some puzzles do not work on Nook color

I can't say how this works on other platforms but at least one puzzle, opening the safe based on sound, just does not seem to work. I tried many times, going very slowly and carefully. Generally I can get this type of puzzle to work on nook but not in this case. The developers simply made it too sensitive for the touch screen input - at least with my fingers. It's a pity really because this is generally a well thought out game. However, without that puzzle and no ability to skip it will not be possible to finish the game so I have given up on it. In addition, a couple of clues that you are supposed to be able to see on rthe wall and on a painting are impossible to decipher even with a magnifying glass. I may try this game on my pc to see if it works better but I have come to the conclusion, with much regret, that I will not be able to play it through on my nook.

    I loved this game. Worth the money. Some of the mini-games were a little difficult but if they were all easy the game wouldn't be any fun. I can't wait for Haunt 2. They have a walk-thru for the game too on their web site if you need it.

    Front door

    U have to wait a minute. The door knob will fall off. Put it back on and then open the door. U can also go to options and turn on the skip puzzle option if u want.

    Very difficult

    I used a walk through for the whole game. I didn't find all the puzzel pieces to solve the last part of the puzzels so I just gave up. I'm giving 1 star for the graphics. I liked the fact that you could skip the mini games if you couldn't get them.

    Love this game

    Great game! Challenging mini games, good graphics, and a spooky story. A steal for 99¿ most games like this are $5. Cant wait for haunt 2!

    Great game with a sequal!

    Throughly enjoyed this game. Fun and relaxing although I found a few spots that challenged me. Throughout the storyline and main part of the game there are a number of mini games. These mini games were harder than I expected them to be. Certainly solvable but offer you the chance to play, skip or look at a walkthrough. The Haunt 2 is out everywhere except for Nook users. Hope B&N gets it out asap!

    Great Game

    I also love this game. I like the challenge of trying to find objects or solving puzzles to get through the game. I wish there were more games like this than the repetitive differences games.

    unable to download!

    I don't know if this app was to be only for the NookHD but it said nothing in the description. I have yet to be able to down load it if it was for all nooks.
