If you were to look at my Purchase History you would see I have bought A LOT of HO games. Dire Grove still ranks as my favourite HO game of all time. I miss it. Please update this game so I can play it on Windows 10. I would purchase this game again. BTW - I rarely give 5 star ratings for anything.
I have ALL of the ClearIt games. I just added Number 10 today. I love all of the games. I think it is version 3 that the game pieces reminded me of "Chiclets" - that gummy treat. I like to play these games in Casual Mode. They are a nice break from some of the mind bending Hidden Object games I usually play. The ClearIt games can appear simple but sometimes clearing the board proves to be difficult. I recommend trying these games if you want a change of pace. Ciao and stay healthy everyone.
Hello Fellow Fishies: I wrote a review for ClearIt8 and now I am writing one for ClearIt4. I got version 9 as a freebie then I bought version 8 full price. Today there was a sale on so I grabbed versions 3 & 4. I thought there would be some repetition in the different versions but not no. I may be a rube but I am surprised the company comes up with so many different game boards in each version. The games may seem simple-minded but I play them in casual mode while I watch TV. I really enjoy blasting the games pieces and clearing each board. I have also noticed different sound effects and clearing options in each game as well. It is raining heavy today so this is also a perfect stay inside game too. Stay safe everyone. Peekie signing off.

Hello Gamers: I am a big fan of Hidden Object games but sometimes I need a change. I bought Clear 8 a couple of months ago as a "freebie" and really got into it. I saw Clear 9 came out and I bought this one. I like this game to play while I have a movie running on my other monitor. I just started playing this version and I can already see some new "tweeks" from the previous version. Stay safe during COVID and play lots of games everyone. Thank you Big Fish for the free games you provided in the past months.

Hi fellow HO fans. I wasn't going to buy this game because of some of the reviews I read but I am glad I did.
I have been playing MCF games since they first appeared. This current game is based on characters, and game play, from past games. I kinda liked it. It was a change.
If you like HO action, and some fun puzzles, then give this game a try. I enjoyed it. Take care, K.
Hey Folks: I play A LOT of Spider Solitaire (4 decks - I like a challenge) and HO games. I do like a change every now and then. I purchased this game during Christmas and loved it. I played it right to end which is rare for me. If you are looking for something different for your gaming palette I recommend this game. Happy New Year everyone.
Hi fellow HOP lovers. I don't have my monthly membership anymore because I have my Felix doll and I own soooo many Big Fish games. I stock up on new ones in the story lines I like when they are published. I found this game when I was surfing this website and decided to give it a whirl. I LOVE IT. Just right for me in Advanced mode. The graphics are great and the game flow is excellent. I haven't written a review in years but I have for this game. I hope the 4 Friends game developers come up with some additional versions. Take care.
I recommend this game!

Murder, intrigue, sibling dead, poison and a heck of a mess to clean up. Doesn't anyone BBQ and swim anymore?
I thoroughly enjoyed my snowy afternoon playing this HOG. The puzzles were fun but not too difficult. I did have to use a hint on a couple of them. Hey, I am mentally inept at balancing coloured balls. No, really ... it's true ... there's a website about this - tee hee.
Graphics were great. Loved the cut away scenes. I really like HOGs that have a cinema texture to them. Background tunes were good. I am looking forward to the sequel ... you know they are going to do one.
I recommend this game!

Great visual treat. I played in advanced mode and had few difficulties. Loved the HO scenes and had to use a couple of clues. The puzzle scenes were not too difficult but a good mix.
I don't usually play with the background music sound turned up but I did with this game - soothing melodies that went well with the scenes.
Hope you enjoy it as much as I did - Ciao, KRA
I recommend this game!

I couldn't make up my mind about the atmosphere of this game. I was either lost in a Salvatore Dali painting or I followed Alice down the rabbit hole. I loved the play environment of this HOG. The artwork was excellent and visually stimulating. I didn't find it a particularly hard game but I enjoyed the HO scenes and puzzles. Just a lot of fun especially for a "bonus" purchase. Definitely going to play this one again.
