This is a game that I'll keep coming back to when I'm in the mood to do a jigsaw puzzle. Liking that I can invent my own way of playing by choosing a lot of pieces when I want a challenge or just keep it light and easy by choosing less. And the different shapes are good for a change too. The variety of different puzzles is great!
I found the trophy page and even though an achievement is reached - when clicking on each trophy there's no way of knowing what each trophy is for. This doesn't detract from the game play - I'm just curious what each achievement is.
Apart from that, I'm loving this game.
I recommend this game!

I'm loving this game but I don't mind puzzles mixed in with hidden object games. Not that crazy about Mah Jong but it is possible to skip it. (Press Menu on the bottom right of screen then Main Menu and then Skip on the bottom left.) Not sure why the skip button is not on the game screen.
There is no such thing as a game that's perfect for everyone but I find it entertaining. The graphics are so clear and the music is pretty cool too. Some of the objects are small or camouflaged but his adds to the challenge.
IMO it's a game worthy to repeat as I have with other Road Trip games.
I recommend this game!
If you are a virtual bird but love adventure too, this game is just for you.

This is the perfect game for me during lockdown as I do love hidden object games. I think a lot of patience is needed and am slowly plodding along even though sometimes I have to repeat an area if I run out of time. The puzzle games are just okay but playable.
The graphics are so clear and I like that the scenes are not too cluttered but still challenging. The trivia is quite interesting too - learning lots there.
It's hard to understand why some are having problems finding the extras - especially the peace objects. Sometimes they're a bit difficult to find but they're definitely out there.
Great game for those who love this style of play!
I recommend this game!

This is my first Hiddenverse and am loving the concept. Clutter games are a change from hidden object games and this one is pretty much the best so far. The optional puzzles are fun especially the pipe game.
Not too sure about the association game because association is subjective and I found it impossible to guess what to match. Had to take off the timer and muddle though it using lots of hints until I started to guess the matches. But this added on to the challenge. Glad to see the 3 difficulty modes too so a first timer like me can catch on.
Personally I'm not into the storyline all that much so it's great that it can be skipped.
Overall, a fun game and will be buying the other series for sure.

I was happy to find another Shopping Clutter but this one again is disappointing. SC Christmas Square and Blooming Tale are two of my favourite go-to games.
SC was unique because you could move the objects around which made it stand out from other clutter games but now with this feature gone, it's lost the fun factor. This is why I'm not recommending the game.
Also it's too fast paced for me too because I'm sure there was more time on the clock in previous versions to complete each game. (Playing easy mode is too easy with no challenge.)
I'm glad I used a free coupon.
I don't recommend this game.
Help the Walker family clear the clutter and decorate the Christmas tree!

For a clutter game, in my opinion, this series of games used to be quite good.
I prefer to play in difficulty level because easy is too easy.
Christmas Square 2 that was released last year, followed by SC Blooming Tales, were excellent with just enough challenge to make it playable. This one is frustrating because of the limited time given to clear some levels. Seems like the developers tried to reinvent the game to another level of challenge and for some reason make it really difficult. This hasn't worked
Maybe they should have 3 levels - Easy, Difficult and Really Insane.
Fortunately, I used a free coupon to buy this one hoping that it wouldn't go crazy impossible as the game progressed. Well, it has which is a shame.
Two positives are that the Christmas music is quite good and the concept of play is excellent but, to repeat myself, it's too hard.
Makes me wonder if the developers have actually played and tested it to see that some levels are impossible to clear.
Unfortunately, I won't be buying any more from these series and replay the ones I have.
I don't recommend this game.

I usually love Domini games and this had good and bad points.
What I did like were the puzzle games and graphics but the story didn't feel like a fairy story and I agree that it was more of a detective story than a fairy tale which really isn't a bad thing.
I have no regrets buying it and if you play the game for what it is and forget about the concept of the characters, it's quite good.
Towards the end though, some of the inventory items just didn't make sense and I had to ask for hints and I hate doing that and couldn't be bothered looking through the Strategy Guide.
I'm recommending it because it wasn't that bad to put into the not recommend category.
I recommend this game!
Help the Walker family search through the clutter to find everything they need to create a festive atmosphere in a Christmas square!

I downloaded this game after playing Shopping Clutter 3. I actually prefer this game to No 3 because I'd played that in difficult mode and was accustomed to playing the timed mode.
The first time I played the shuffling I hated it but got used to it and just picked up what I could before it changed. Some levels are impossible to complete in the allotted time so after trying for a few times had to skip which I don't like doing but do like that the games can be skipped.
Would have been good if the levels towards the end had a little longer time to clear but I guess that would take away the challenge. Not crazy about finding the split items especially in the shuffling mode.
Its helpful to collect all the stars because the hints are good once the time is running out.
Challenging yet cute little game that's become a go-to for me just to play something different.
I recommend this game!

After playing the demo only, I love the concept of this game which is fun but am disappointed that there isn't a variety of puzzles - only a Match 3 game in between the decorating to earn money and points.
The last Home Designer - Home Sweet Home puzzles had a lot more variety that included hidden object scenes which is what I prefer.
As I'm not a fan of Match 3 games, this game isn't for me which is a pity.
This game should be listed as Match 3 not Hidden Object.

I'm comparing this game to Road Trip Europe. It's the same concept and identical objects to search for though the scenery is obviously different. Thought it was the same developers but it's not. Road Trip Europe is one of my favorites but this one I found just that little bit tedious.
I replayed Road Trip Europe many times but I don't think this one will be a repeat for me.
It is a challenge to play and the graphics are quite good. There were many things I liked and the puzzle games were okay. What I didn't like was the word search hieroglyphs that I was happy to pass and the music wasn't all that great - game needed to be played on mute.
Not a 5 start game but quite playable for hidden object fans.
I recommend this game!
