This game is outrageously terrific. It's stunning to look at, the music is beautiful to listen to, the game variations are among my favorites, it's well worth the price, and more. I love sudoku type games and I always relish a good and challenging word game. Good word games are few and far between here at BF, so it's much appreciated to find one of this quality. I have enjoyed several games by this developer. I had thought I should probably go to bed pretty soon, but I think I'd rather stay up a bit longer and play this game for a while.
I recommend this game!

I have all the games in this series and think they are top notch. I am not overly wild about the voice overs, but I can easily overlook that since the game play is so excellent. I'm not one to go into great detail like a few others do on a regular basis. I especially like the puzzles where you have to go back and forth through 4 or 5 panels to find things and then insert them in correct places. Some hidden objects are very challenging to find, but using the hint feature doesn't upset me. I'm in it for the challenge and the fun of it - isn't that the point of playing a game? Maybe Pennmom or HeavenBound will pop in and give one of their Indepth reviews. So happy to see this game since I have enjoyed the previous ones in the City of Stories series. I've purchased the CE versions each time. I hope there is another one coming down the pike to brighten my day.
I recommend this game!

In the hidden object scenes, the majority of objects are IMPOSSIBLE to see, even after using the hint button. I don't mind having a challenging game, but this is totally ridiculous. I liked the other types of puzzles, but struggling to find items isn't worth the frustration. If I had it to do over again, I wouldn't buy this game. I didn't have any technical difficulties, but when you can't see the hidden object even after the hint shows you where it's located, it's time to find a different game to play. It's a visually nice game. I really like the premise of the game, but making things impossible to find due to darkness is a deal breaker for me.
I don't recommend this game.

Calling this a hidden object game is misleading. There is a wide variety of games, most of which I really enjoy playing. I played a few levels just to make sure it worked with my computer (which I do with all games). I bought it almost immediately after downloading the trial. Overall, I couldn't be happier with this game. It's hard for me to stop playing and doing other things, but when the dog barks to go outside, I have to put the game on pause.
I recommend this game!

Big mistake to not offer an untimed option

I know this is a knock-off of the Rescue Team games, but I enjoyed it anyway. I like the bright colors and I don't mind anything "cartoonish." I was definitely going to buy this, but then I realized that it is strictly a timed game which meant that I had to delete it. I think it is extremely short-sighted of a developer to offer a game with no option for a relaxed or untimed mode. Not every player is able to deal with a timed game because of various elements - arthritis, diminished eye sight, slower coordination, etc. Speaking for myself, I DO NOT enjoy playing any game that puts pressure on me to rush through that game. I want to get my money's worth out of game and that does not include having to rush through it. I have a cat and a dog that frequently need attention, my phone rings, I have to go to the bathroom, my doorbell rings - life is full of interruptions and a timed game is so totally not conducive to these types of interruptions. I know there is a pause feature in all games, but untimed is far superior to clicking on the pause feature repeatedly. I am so disappointed because I was ready to hit the "buy" button, but I just do not purchase a game that offers only a timed version. Other than that, it seemed like a fun little game to enjoy - at my own pace, of course.
Story-driven time management fun in a land of wonder!

I have all of the games in this series and enjoy them. I play just for fun since I don't like time restrictions that force me to get through a game quickly. This one has a few things that are new and different which is nice. Time Management games like this one are my main games of choice these days. Big Fish doesn't offer games of this quality nearly as often as they used to. I'm pretty much over and done with the majority of the games that are offered most of the time now, but every once in a while, a high-quality game will surprise me and make my day. Too much of what we are offered now are the same type of game over and over again, but I keep checking each day to see when something special pops up and surprises me.
I recommend this game!

I moderately enjoyed the game. It wasn't great, but it was acceptable. Someone here said the voice overs were good. I'm just throwing in my two cents worth and saying I thought the voice overs were absolutely horrid for the most part. Most of them were like chalk on a chalkboard - make the noise stop!! There is no way I'd pay full price for this game, but if you can get it on a good sale somehow, it's something to pass the time.
Epic story-driven time management in the realm of nightmares!

I also like Elven Rivers. But I certainly see no major reasons to give this game a horrible rating even though this game is similar to Elven Rivers. Lucky me - I get to enjoy both games. I never play the music when playing this or any other game. I prefer my own playlists on other devices. I am a gamer who likes to kick back and have some fun at a relaxed pace, so I find this game to be enjoyable. The ability to get another game at no charge is also a huge draw since many of the membership benefits have gone by the wayside recently.
I recommend this game!

I love this style of M3 play. Whenever I see a game like this, I immediately purchase it. It's a unique style of M3 play. The only thing that bugs me a little bit is that the color of the tiles that need to be removed is often difficult to identify. When I get to the point where there are only one, two or three tiles to remove, I very often find them hard to quickly identify. Overall, this is another outstanding game of this genre of M3s.
I recommend this game!

I've tried many nanogram type games from BF and this series is one of my favorites - the other being the Rainbow Mosaics series. I like the colors and the hints/clues are terrific. I like all of the mechanics here. In response to some of the other reviewers, you don't have to read the dialogue/story. There is an option to skip it and just play the game. Another reviewer said he/she can't download it. The first day a game is offered new, you have to sign in to get the download button to magically appear. I've bought one Gizmos game and didn't like it as much as this series or Rainbow Mosaics, so I'm very glad it's not like Gizmos. Each game has its own pros and cons.
I very seldom use the word "addictive" to describe games, but this series and Rainbow Mosaics are 100% addictive for me. I have a hard time hitting the exit button even when I'm hungry or it's time to get some shut eye.
I recommend this game!
