This is a great game, with a fresh story. The puzzles are fun. The game flows nicely and offered just enough challenge to keep me playing for hours. I finished the game in two sittings, without ever getting bored. Don't miss this gem. With just a little more effort it could easily have made the Collector's Editions.
Discover the city of Apothecarium, where inhabitants are caught in a perilous struggle against a powerful alchemist who is taking the lives of innocent!
Instead we can grab it for a song, or even for free!
Somehow this game slipped by without my noticing....I am thrilled I didn't miss it altogether as it's one of the best games so far this year. Visually stunning, it's filled with hours of delightful game play; everything from hidden object [and the objects are relevant to the time period, and to the game and some of them morph!], to match 3, to slider puzzles and tetris-type puzzles, and of course we're tasked with goals we need to achieve in order to save the day. It's an innovative, gorgeous game. The developers offer nice surprises to keep us engaged and give us variety in our approach. With coins we collect along the way, we can purchase fun upgrades to the hint button and to the Match 3 option. There's an interactive map, a notebook that collects important information and a task list to keep us on track. Definitely not the same old HO, adventure puzzle; it has all the elements and then some! I was just sad when it ended as I wished I had at least a bonus game left to play. IMO this would have made an excellent CE. Congratulations and thanks to these developers, and, more please.... Sheila

This game is exceptionally fine with an excellent, well-told, well-paced story, engaging characters and fresh mini-games.
It's among my all-time favourites and since I've played nearly every CE released on Big Fish, that's saying something....
I have to stand up and cheer when a game is this absorbing; so much fun that I completely forget my chronic pain issues and just lose myself in getting the job done!

This is just a lovely, lovely game. The creators have produced a game that manages to evoke the scary qualities of the nightmare, at the same time that the story achieves its themes of healing and new beginnings. This game should not be missed.
As a long time Big Fish enthusiast, I've played all of the best games on the site. This one ranks right up there, among the best. Enjoy!
I recommend this game!

The best thing about this updated version of Bejeweled, IMO, are the features that allow you to use this as a relaxation guide and a meditation tool.
Monks first created Match 3 type games--not computerized, obviously--to aid in attaining Alpha and Theta states, to help focus the mind. Now, we can use them for that purpose too, with Bejeweled 3. I have used binaural pulses as an aid to meditation and pain management for some time. I`ve also used the games on Big Fish to distract me from pain. But this is the first time I`ve been able to combine several features, while playing, to achieve relaxation and enjoy myself too.
