I've had this game for years and there's only one other Match 3 game that I like. I wish they would do an update and correct the names of some of their objects in the mini games. Example: A Panda is not a Koala. I would give it 5 stars if they fixed it. It's a waste of time when you're looking for one thing and you have to use a hint to find out that it's something else.
I recommend this game!

I love this series. It's one of the few games that I always love the storyline. And the graphics make it easier to find things because the items actually look like what they're supposed too. And these are one of the few games that I don't have to worry about my grandson playing without parental guidance. I'm already excited for Vacation Adventure: Park Ranger 5!
I recommend this game!
Have fun helping Santa make the best Christmas ever. Put up decorations, visit Santa's North Pole workshops and open fabulous presents.

I usually love these games but I have to quit playing this one after 15 minutes because it hurts my eyes. It seems more cluttered than usual. And some of the objects are pretty small to distinguish what they are. A plus though is the Mega hint even though I'd rather find the objects without any help.
I recommend this game!

This is the type of game I've been looking for... One with lots of hidden objects and scenes. The music wasn't to my liking and I would love pretty scenes instead of dark. But it's a keeper. I'm really glad they have a relaxed mode to pick from. I don't like being rushed. But I wish the game would remember what mode I'm playing. You have to change it after each level.
I recommend this game!

I've played this for almost 2 hours now and have clicked on the 'HINT' button 23 times. I miss the HOG's that had you hunting for a list of things every scene. Now they have you traveling back and forth all of the time. The music, graphics and animations are priceless. My eyesight isn't the best and I could see the graphics without wearing my glasses. I would not recommend this game to a beginner though unless they are real smart and very patient.
I don't recommend this game.

I was so hoping that this would be a fun game for me. I'm so tired of games that make you go back and forth continuously. I want a HOG. Not a traveling game. I played the game for a half hour and only had 2 HOGs to play that whole time. What a waste. I thought the graphics were pretty good though. I'm finding myself clicking on the hint button all of the time just so I can hurry up and get to the next HOG.
I don't recommend this game.

These are my favorite type of games. I wish there was more of them. The hardest part about this game is trying to figure out how to exit out of it. Once you've figured that out the game is so much fun. I love searching for a bunch of objects at once instead having to go to one scene, find one object and then go back to a previous scene to use it. I love that this game has a relaxed mode for those of us that like to play games and watch TV too. We can take our time playing the game. And I love the bright clear graphics.
I recommend this game!

After 10 minutes I was so bored I had to quit. I'm not interested in having to travel here and there just to find an object or two. I'll admit that the graphics are excellent but I didn't buy the game just for the graphics. The favorite part of the game to me was the cute little raccoon at the beginning. My hopes got high when I saw him.
I don't recommend this game.

I love Big City Adventures but this one had me straining my eyes to find the objects. Some images were so small or partially hidden by other objects to you couldn't tell what it was. I don't care to spend over 5-10 minutes to find an object and with this game I had to use the 'hint' button quite a few times. I don't recommend this for the visually impaired but others might be more patient than I am.
I don't recommend this game.
From the makers of the Rite of Passage series comes a ground-breaking new series that's as creepy as it gets.

It's 1:30 a.m. and I decide to give this game a try. I'm not into dark or scary games but you take what you can get nowadays. The first 5 minutes and I'm yawning like crazy. Before I know it it's 5 a.m. and I'm still playing this game waiting to see what happens next. No more yawning. I feel like I've been under a rock or something, I've never played a game like this before! And I've NEVER paused a game 15 minutes after I've started playing it to read the credits and see who made this fantastic game. I set my settings to partial tutorials so I'm getting through the game pretty good. But I wouldn't recommend that setting for beginners. I don't get spooked very easy but giggle on most of the one's in this game. They are done pretty good I must admit. I love hunting for the objects in this game and how they've made it even more challenging to get them. The graphics are great and they are clear. I don't even have to wear my reading glasses to find things. In this game if it looks like a jewelry box, it's a jewelry box. Not a disfigured book or something like I've seen so many other games do with their images. I'm on my way right now to get more games by Mad Head Games. I hope they are as good as this one. This is the best game I've played in years.
I recommend this game!
