I wasn't too sure that I was going to like this game when I was reading about it. But I had a free game credit and decided to get it. Well that was a great decision. Not being fond of Match 3 games this game makes me like them even more. I love decorating and you win a lot of coins to be able to do that in this game. And they have a large variety to pick from. My only complaint would be that the 'Casual' setting has a timer. If you don't get the puzzle done on time you only get one star. I don't like timers and being told I've failed every level because I didn't rush. To me that defeats the purpose of being a 'Casual' setting. Otherwise I highly recommend this game.
I recommend this game!

I own the whole series of Vacation Adventures and this one is my favorite. It's almost like the Park Rangers have met Clutter Joe and had a party together. So many new features and it still has your favorite mini games. I'm not good at math but thankfully there's a skip button so I can get on to the next level. And I love to play the word search games without looking at the list of words. It's a fun challenge to me. I do wish that the jigsaw puzzles had a photo of what you're suppose to be making. I love that you have an option to use a timer or to take your dear sweet time playing it. This is one of the few HOG's that I play that I actually enjoy reading the dialogue. I highly recommend this game to beginners, intermediate and advanced players of most ages.

I purchased New York Mysteries: Secrets of the Mafia
on 06/15/14 and New York Mysteries: The Lantern of Souls
on 04/06/19. Unfortunately this one seems just like the other 2. You go here, find something, go back to where you were, use what you found only to find out that you need it again a few minutes later. I find it repetitive. The graphics aren't bad but for 2019 they're not great either. And the story line didn't hold my interest.

Hiddenverse is my favorite series for relaxing games. This one doesn't disappoint. Great game play with new challenges and twists. Same beautiful graphics. Great for beginners of hidden object games. And great for seniors with poor eyesight. One review mentioned that the developers needed spellcheck. I haven't seen any misspelled words yet. I'll be playing this game over and over again. Thank you for my newest favorite.
I recommend this game!

I love this stress-free game. I played the demo for 10 minutes, exited out of the game and bought it. I love the relaxed mode so I can get up and get something to drink and not worry about the clock running out. I love the hidden areas that have items hiding in them. The graphics aren't perfect but they're recognizable and don't hurt your eyes from being too bright and too cluttered. If I had one complaint it would be the scoring. I found everything in less than 2 minutes and only got 1 star. Either don't have scoring in the relaxed mode or give better scores. This is a game I'll enjoy playing with my grand kids. I didn't know about Summer Adventure (1) but I'm going to buy it too.
I recommend this game!

I'm so glad I played the demo first. This game looks like it has beautiful artwork but I couldn't get past the very first scene of the gate. The rules didn't make sense. I turned this and that and never could open the gate. It didn't have a hint button to show me what I was doing wrong. I wish I could play it.
I don't recommend this game.

This game is ok if you have a lot of patience and good eye sight. The hint button takes so long to recharge that it takes away from the fun of the game. And a lot of the objects are so hidden or not drawn well that it's impossible to see what them. I'm giving it 3 stars because it has a lot of hidden objects.
I don't recommend this game.
Get ready for the most exciting Un-Hidden Object games you will ever play!

I have all of the Clutter games and love them all. This one was confusing to me at first until I read a previous review. Thanks to that members post I've been able to figure out the game play now and love this game as much as the others. I'll be playing this one over and over again.
I recommend this game!

I don't care for games that have dialogue in each scene. That's why I love these type of games. The graphics are easy on the eyes and I can just hunt and click. I wish they'd make more games like this.
I recommend this game!

This game isn't bad but I've gotten spoiled on the Match 3 games that you get to decorate things with your winnings. This game has great graphics and music. But I've noticed a couple of glitches in the game play. It's not enough to keep me from enjoying the game though.
I recommend this game!
