I enjoyed this game a lot and was disappointed when the demo ended.
I will be buying this game or using one of my credits for it.
The graphics are nice and clear, the tutorial is very good and explains what to do.
The only negative I have is there is not a non-timer choice, I really don't like games with timers as I prefer to take my time.
I recommend this game!

This is the third in the series and I rather liked this one, not something I would buy, but the demo was okay, I didn't like the first two in the series, but this one seemed better.
A bit more challenging than the others in the series.
I recommend this game!

I have tried the first in the series and I was not impressed with it, so I thought maybe with the second one they would have improved, but no it is still not that great.
The screens are nice and bright and easy to see the objects, this game like the first had some spelling errors so it made it difficult to figure out some of the items we needed to find.
I don't recommend this game.

The game was okay, but not my thing, I like ones with a bit more of a challenge and also a better storyline.
Beginners might like this game, but it's not for me.
I don't recommend this game.

This game is way too easy, a lot of it just repeats scenes that are easy to memorize where things are.
You have to complete scenes to earn stars to go to the next scene, trust me earning stars is not hard at all.
This might be okay for really young players, but I can 't see adults having fun with this one.
I don't recommend this game.

Not really impressed with this game. The tiles were large enough to see, which I liked, but the music even though I had it off kept coming back on, and it seemed repetitious, nothing to the game really.
I don't recommend this game.

This was not a good game at all; I would not recommend it to anyone.
The pictures are pretty basic and make it almost impossible to see what you are looking for.
I would not waste a credit on this game.
Try a demo for your self but don't waste your money or credits on this game; there are others out there that are a lot better.
I don't recommend this game.

Music was really annoying, thank goodness we can turn it off, very repetitive.
The hidden objects were hard to see a lot of the time, but you can zoom in quite close so I liked that feature, I wish other hidden object games would do that.
There really is no story, and a lot of the times you repeat scenes and the same objects.
There is a timer, but not sure what purpose it serves as I have let the timer run out a couple times, and nothing happened.
There is also a penalty for clicking wrong, you lose $50 off your score, and when you find an object you get $100 per object, not sure what the money is for though.
All in all, not a bad game, maybe if I couldn't find another game for free I would use one of my free game coupons for it, but otherwise no I wouldn't pay for this one.
I don't recommend this game.

The graphics were fine, I had to turn the music off as it is annoying.
I found most of the objects really hard to find, I was using the hint a lot, not something I like to do.
Not a bad game, but not for me, if the items were easier to see then yes.
The mini-games were a lot of fun.
I don't recommend this game.

I almost missed this one, I read the reviews and almost passed on this game, but glad I took the chance, it is a great game.
It is quite hard, and you need to find things to help move the game along, for instance, there is a camel with a thorn in its hooves and you need to find something to remove it.
Music is annoying after a while, but it can be turned off so not a problem.
The hidden objects are quite hard to see sometimes, almost to the point of frustration, but with a hint or two not so bad.
Hints are great, you start off with 3 but can get a lot more, just look for the little pyramids after you finish each part of the game.
There really is not that great of a storyline really.
There are jigsaw puzzles to solve which are really quite easy to do.
Puzzles that require you to slide columns and rows, not really hard once you get an idea of what the picture is supposed to be
Hidden objects, as I mentioned are hard
Finding or figuring out what each scene needs in order to move on can be tricky and a little hard, but not impossible.
As far as I figured in the demo time, all puzzles can be skipped if need be.
I would have given the game 5 stars but the hidden objects part of the game is quite hard, so just 4 stars.
I recommend this game!
