I have ALL the Vacation Adventures (Park Ranger & Cruise Director) and ALL the Christmas Wonderland games. I so enjoy playing these hidden object games as they are relaxing yet challenging. Hours of play. They're not as easy as it may seem...I always make it a point to find all the Recycling/Wildlife.
I didn't need more than a second to buy this one.
I recommend this game!

Oh how I wait for these games each year! It's always an instabuy for me. Yeah, the actual game play doesn't change much from year to year, the themes are different but the same...but I can look forward to several hours if not days to complete the game. The graphics...always WOW! They get me into the "spirit". These are not only for the HO lover...the puzzles they intersperse are not difficult but can be challenging. I can tell you...you WILL be challenged to find all the items (including the toys, trees and snapshot signs). I like to challenge myself to make the bonus for each scene. Does it sound like I recommend this game? Yes...yes I do.

I wait patiently for new games that are rooted in modernity. I bought this without hesitation and am not a bit disappointed! It's a good, long game, not a lot of bling (but that's ok), storyline that actually held my interest, minimal back-and-forth through the scenes. The graphics are crisp, clear, in-focus with not overly-done color saturation that I'm seeing in many of the newer games these days. I was a little put-off by previous comments in the ratings about too many puzzles, but I found the puzzles delightfully refreshing yet challenging and mostly easy enough that I wasn't almost instantly hitting the skip button. Actually, I feel there is a good balance between HOs and puzzles. All-in-all, this is a good thriller that I highly recommend if you're looking for a change from castles, witches, golems, spooks and, well, the unreal.
I recommend this game!

Waaaaaa, don't like to complain but this is NOT my Hidden Expedition of memory. Played my first Hidden Expedition: Smithsonian Hope Diamond in 2013, Smithsonian Castle 2014 (both Collector's Editions) and have purchased each and every subsequent Hidden Expedition without a second thought. This one is not so much a history lesson (no fact cards) as the others as it is another HO adventure story, rather cartoonish scenes and characters, over-saturation of colors and, while there's much to do in each scene, just lacks excitement of the original games. Also, can't skip through much of the dialogue so you're just trapped there until they finish. I do like this developers option of Match-3 in the HO's. The map works well enough and the ability to see what extras you need to find in each scene is a plus. Note to all developers: a little realism goes a long way with some of us.
Please don't stop producing Hidden Expeditions, just please re-visit the originals to see why they have been such favorites in the Big Fish world.

What a deliciously long, detailed and challenging game! The visuals are stunning and each scene is intricately done. I agree that some of the objects are VERY tiny and hard to spot, but I play for fun, not to be timed, and am not averse to using the HINT button! I'm only up to Nevada right now, but this has been several days of play...what a great way to pass the long hours and keep your eyes & mind focused!
I recommend this game!

I am currently playing Roads of Time and I like it! Ok, maybe it's a lot like the other Strategy/Time Management games and maybe it's a little too "simplistic" for lots of folks, but I've had to restart several levels while playing because I trapped myself without adequate resources to move ahead, sooooo...you DO have to strategize your moves and I'm not finding that in some of the most recent games I've purchased. I like the graphics and boy do the guys move fast when you activate the speed bonus! Poking ahead on the map, I see there are several additional levels to be played, so I'm thinking this is a great little game without the collector's edition price!
I recommend this game!

Oh yeah! Thank you, devs, for shooting this out to us during these stay-at-home times! I always instantly buy ALL Vacation Adventures, Cruise Adventures, Christmas Wonderlands. I have absolutely NO complaints (uhm, is it just me or are the hidden objects getting really small??) Perfect game, as always!

I love the 12 Labours games! This one is another addition to my collection. I find them fun, eye-appealing, not too challenging and definitely make use of my free time. There is a 12 Labours X out there and I hope we get that offered to us here on Big Fish.
I recommend this game!

I've just started this game...bought it on BOGO weekend to be able to purchase another one I've wanted. This is not my first Bonfire Stories and, though I can see the point of the commenters with the low ratings, I've been completely challenged with this game so far! I have been a Big Fisher for years and "cut my teeth" on HOG's, though I have to admit I've become jaded and bored with them as they've all become same old-same old. Now this one comes along and is an HO lover's dream come true! I don't think I'd recommend this for beginners...for old, experienced eyes such as mine, many of the items are very difficult to spot and I've spent a lot of time searching the so-called "junk piles". I like that it is not puzzle-heavy and I like the concept of following the map to advance to the next scene. I truly appreciate the story being rooted in modernity and want to thank the developers for changing things up enough to keep me interested! Oh, and I don't necessarily buy a game for the "bling"...the extra time I get to spend on any game is enough for me.
I recommend this game!
