Weird title, I know.
What I mean is that this game is not scary but it is as addicting as the rest of the Build A Lot franchise-another great game.
Personally, I am an experienced player and this additional challenge was exciting and fun, although I would suggest starting at the beginning of the various games as you will enjoy it most.

Definitely one to play for those experienced Build A Lot players!
I recommend this game!

Barely a game, it passes the time away but I felt it definitely didn't challenge me.
I found the game dull and repetitive; the only difference I joined was the change in shops and increased stalls. But I didn't feel challenged...
The main thing that annoyed me were the actual people in the shop, their voices were annoying, and I did turn the sound off the game but I enjoy playing games with sounds.

Very simplistic.

Well, it is definitely the best one I have played so far but I've been playing them in a mismatched order. I was quite excited to play this game after playing the dossier series of lights, camera, curses which is much more simpler but equally as enjoyable.
I've played as a junior detective and I can't give an overall view but the puzzles were fun and a little challenging. The storyline was fun and intriguing: each character has a story to tell and by the end of it I accused everyone of causing the mishap.
You must play this as a Nancy Drew beginner or an expert; it definitely challenges the mind.
I recommend this game!

I have played all of the Jane series so far.
This is the same as the other ones, it is fun for the casual player but when something is classified into time management I expect pressure and a sense of achievement.
Jane's Zoo is the same, the storyline is quite bland, I enjoyed looking after the different animals but I was bored after 20 minutes.
It is not challenging enough for me and I am only an intermediate gamer.
Passes the time away but not good enough for a recommendation but I don't want to put you off so I won't say that I don't recommend it.
Just don't expect anything exciting!

Oh no. Spin offs are risky, real risky and unfortunately this did not work for the developers of the Jane series. I love Jane's hotel, 2 and family hero. They were a fun, simplified version of time management games and they were fun in terms of upgrades and difficulty level.
This, however, is like a boring Build A Lot, I love the Build A Lot franchise, but for some reason I don't like this. I only liked the upgrading the house and that was highly limited.
A disappointment and so was Jane's Realty 2.
I don't recommend this game.

I really enjoy the life simulation games, I had high expectations for this game because of the quality of the Life Quest sequel. I thought this game would be fun but for me it was a nightmare playing.
I kept fainting from the lack of food, and because it too long to eat, I had little time for my job or my classes.
It wasn't fun, there weren't goals or competitions, it was plainly boring.
Too much expectations for this game really, and it definitely didn't live up to mine.

My friend introduced me to the Nancy Drew series, and I've being playing them in a completely different order.
Yet when I approached the game, it was obvious it was the first, they weren't as improved or sophisticated as other cases that I had played.
I was really excited for a murder, and I was so excited because it was my first murder case but because of the age of this game I was unable to live/investigate the full extent of the murder. It was much more focused on the school and the diner, that was the only disappointing aspect of the game.

If you are playing Nancy Drew for the first time then I suggest starting with this one, because "most" of the gameplay just gets better and better (usually).
A good game from the Nancy Drew creators but not the best; a lot of improvements could be made.

I enjoyed the different aspects of the lessons from summer to winter.
Different stock and different buildings; I liked it.

I loved lights, camera, curses. I recommend playing that one first even though they are both good, they are subtle hints to the previous case and it is easier to pick up the technique.
This game follows the easy pairing of items, I agree with some reviewers that there is less freedom because there is more focus but this makes the cases much quicker to complete-I completed it in 7 hours. This is much more focused on hidden objects, and I don't particularly like these game styles but the innovative storyline makes me compelled to complete the game.
The only problem is that the storyline is a little too obvious; I guessed it halfway through the game.
I recommend this game!
