Thanks for joining us once again, and we’ll be back for more next month!

Have you played the Hidden Agenda Beta on Facebook lately? If you have, thanks! Now get back there and keep playing.

If you haven’t, wha-huh? Green County needs you! Get on the case to solve the murder of local official Albus Puckerwhip. New mysteries and new characters continue to be revealed.

Meet Zotkin the grumpy goat and help him figure out who is destroying his garden. Is someone trying to send him a message?

Get to know Constance Verity, local character, yoga instructor and unicorn. Is she as “zen” as she wants you to believe?

There’s arson, smuggling, thievery and, for my money, the most terrifying video game character in the history of video games, Sister Eloise!

Play Hidden Agenda today! Have fun, help Green County and save me from my unquiet dreams.

Hidden Agenda players will probably recognize this eco-conscious frog as Skip, the tireless crusader for a good cause who isn’t afraid to get his webbed feet dirty! What do you think is transpiring here between Skip and his avian server?

Submit your caption in the comments below, then come back Friday to vote on the finalists!

Hear, oh people, the warnings of Kuhu:

Be not out past the downing of the sun, and stay off my roof!

Glory is given, glory is taken. All who receive shall remain in the database!

Fear not the lopsided eyes of the Old Old Suit-Man … but fear his many approaching forms!

Kuhu learned email: KuhuSpeaks@PopCap.com!

Hear oh people, the joyfulness of Kuhu:

There, too, are many forms of worms. Among them, the shiniest are the i!

The lion will lie down with the lamb, and then the lion will get up and frolic in the meadows. And the lion will not calm down! And the lamb shall seek refuge and shout, “I should’ve stayed home!”

Joy comes in many forms, much like the Old Old Suit-Man… but its greatest form is a sandwich!

Hear, oh people, the future memories of Kuhu:

In the Year of the Singing Salamander, it was either that, or the Year of the Digital Swan!

And on the day they solved the crime, the County called Green was exposed. All who called this land “County” discovered the hidden truth, nestled beside the hidden feather: it is a Town!

And surrounding that Town, Canada!

Verily, all games shall exist, and some shall cease. The adventure hath existed even as the adventure was yet unknown. And the adventure was flowers and diamonds and words!

I just bought a huge soup pot!

Blog Ride Editor’s Note: Want to know what the future holds for you? Ask him at KuhuSpeaks@PopCap.com. Kuhu shall speak again.

Penny Paige. The local reporter, Penny is helpful, whip-smart, and not afraid to get mixed up in the action.

Maximilian Rourke. The prideful patriarch of one of the leading families, he wants to leave a business legacy by any means necessary.

Dylan Rourke. Maximilian’s nephew, he’s well-liked by all for his fun nature – but still a bit of a Reynard and quite secretive.

Luther Fairfax. The head of the area’s other leading family, don’t be fooled by his gentlemanly nature and elderly staggering. He’s an iron fist in a velvet glove.

Harper Fairfax. Luther’s daughter, she’s smart, capable, and gets along with almost everyone, though she’s never fawning and has her secrets.

Mr. Edison. The town’s venerable banker, he’s not going to stick his neck out too far.

Jeffrey ‘Fitzy’ Felis. A bit of a lowlife with high life connections, he’s not afraid to get his hands dirty and howl at the moon. Or wear a track suit.

Meet even more intriguingly fun characters when you rush to play Hidden Agenda, in Beta on Facebook now.

Seek and find hundreds of clues, complete side missions to uncover more evidence, interact with the locals and team up with your Facebook friends for higher scores and to find even more clues!

Hidden Agenda is in Beta on Facebook now. That means that we are still putting the finishing touches on the game so you might still notice an odd thing or two as you play. But play you must! With great characters, awesome new art and a deep story, it’s a whole new kind of hidden object game altogether.

Dear Australians and/or people currently living in Australia: do you want to see everything outside of your house without even opening the front door?

Check out Vacation Quest – Australia: our newest hidden-object game.

With the release of Vacation Quest – Australia, there’s one question on everyone’s mind (by “everyone’s” I mean “my”). Can you use “g’day” as a noun? As in, “Have a g’day!” We all know you can use it as a greeting: “G’day, mate!” But I also want to say “have a g’day” or even “this marshmallow cereal is a great part of a balanced g’day.”

Can anyone help me out here?

Anyway. We really like our Vacation Quest games because they offer a simple yet unique opportunity to take a vacation and skip the airport security. In Vacation Quest – Australia, you’ll search for hidden objects as you explore famous settings Down Under, journey through the outback, and relax every step of the way. Plus, you’ll unlock bonus game modes and solve a host of mini-game puzzles.

So if you could use a fun escape — a mental vacation to tune out the noise of life — you should try this game.

We hope you like it. Have a g’day!
