I have the other 2 and bought this one yesterday. Enjoy playing and lots to find and do. As someone else stated well work $6.99 and yesterday it was on sale. Relaxing and fun.
Side note: I am recommending an older game. Lost Lands series is excellent or the Hidden Expedition games when Eipix were the developers. In this dry spell I have been replaying them.
I recommend this game!

Interesting game and so much fun. You have to think but not too much. So far figured everything out on my own. The whole game is really inventive including HOS games. Something different in a good way.
I recommend this game!

Elephant Games is one of my favorite developers and is why I decided to try the game even though fairy tale games are not my favorite. This game is fun, good storyline and beautiful graphics. It was a solid 4 star for me. As others have mentioned it is not real challenging but sometimes it is just what you need to pass some time.
I recommend this game!

This is based on the demo. I saw the first 3 really negative reviews yesterday and was tempted to not even try it. Thank goodness I tried it anyway. To me it is a solid 4 star. This is a fun game and not sure why others have been so hard on it. I do not find it confusing and as someone else remarked the last several games were played where you play 3 different characters, and each has a unique skill that helps solve the case. So far, the game is fun and well worth trying it. I am enjoying the storyline (something different for a change) and I have always liked this series. Glad I tried it and made my own decision. My one negative comment is you do not know when there is a collectable (clock parts & puzzle pieces) and there is not one in each scene. I have sometimes not purchased a game because of this as I find it very frustrating!
I recommend this game!

It was a buy for me after the demo. This is my 5th game in the series and like this better than the last 2 I bought. I always enjoy Joe's quotes, the directions throughout the game and all the options a player has. If you like to match items in all sorts of ways and combinations and still be challenged plus some cool puzzles thrown in try this game.
I recommend this game!

Game is just so, so. Nothing new here. After the demo I had had enough. When you play the timed mode they never give enough time so you play the same level over and over and it is just plain matching. I know it is a match 3 game but as someone else mentioned they could be more inventive like the Jewel Match series or an older game Imperial Island 3 (4 is okay and 5 started going down hill). So my recommendation is to spend your money on a match 3 game by Jewel Match Royal 2 or 5 year old game called Imperial Island 3. Both are a lot more fun and offer more entertainment for the money.
I don't recommend this game.

As the first 2 reviewers have provided the layout of the game and other details my review is simply of the game itself. If you have Atlantis 1 and 2, Atlantis 2 was a huge leap from 1. All 3 games are excellent if you enjoy match 3 games. Atlantis 3 is basically the exact same game as 2 except for adding the match 3 and more bonus’ games within the regular game. With that said I definitely recommend this game. It has soothing music, love being able to earn additional fish and a lot of trophies to earn. Like the map layout as they have had for many of their past games. For the price you cannot beat the amount of game play you get with it. Why would you buy 3 if you already have 2? I bought it to build new scenes and like the match 3 addition. If you have never played a Jewel Match series, I recommend you start now!
I recommend this game!

Wow really like this new series by Domini! Since the game has been out for over a week I will be brief. It was BOGO free I was looking for a 2nd game and this turned out to be it. I knew within minutes it was going to be a great game. Storyline is fascinating, graphics and voiceovers well done. The puzzles are interesting and so are the HOS. Highly recommend this game. I found nothing boring about this game. Try it!!

Elephant Games has come up with a winner in my detective book. Really like the mystery case storyline in this game as well as the first one in the series, Five Orange Pips. The current game takes it up a notch.
Enjoy the interactive questions and clues and putting them together.
In each scene is a puzzle piece to find and in some scenes a figurine. The map shows if you found the puzzle piece but not the figurine. From the map is an option to view the silhouette of the figurine and that offers some help.
Like the older fashion graphics and feel of the game including the map. It goes well with the storyline. Voiceovers are done well and appropriate for the character.
Like the puzzles there are some inventive ones and enjoyed the HOS although fairly standard for the most part. I really enjoyed this game it is a buy for me hope you will enjoy it too!
Achievements are standard, wish they would come up with some new ideas.

Graphics as usual are well done by the developers, Domini, including the voiceovers. The three items to find in each scene are fairly easy especially with the sparkling on the side to let you know there is one, so no brainer there. Puzzles were well done. Storyline wasn’t bad. Like the little extras for example in the first scene if you touch the hens in the cage they come running out. Many items in each scene like this. Just adds to the fun… but…
With 14 minutes of the 90-minute demo left I was already bored. As someone else mentioned the broken key and then there’s the broken bellows (again!!), broken well handle, barrette and hairpin both needed for different locks, need the boards with nails and a ‘heavy object’, need to saddle a house, etc. etc. etc. When it got to the broken ladder I was done. Just one tedious task after another. I have seen it over and over by this developer. Just not a buy for me, the pros did not out weigh the cons. Try it for yourself it might be your cup of brew.
