Finally a new part of the series, I've been waiting for it. As always, I wasn't disappointed: tons of solitair levels, additional giant levels, puzzle levels, match 2 levels, sliding levels (new!) and mahjongg levels. Weeks of fun are guaranteed. In my opinion, no other game provider can match the quality. The Jewel Match series is simply the ultimate and can't be topped.

Sure, the levels are always the same in this series, but that doesn't matter. The storyline is always different and the match 3 levels are just plain fun. It doesn't always have to be a big challenge, sometimes a perfectly normal match 3 game is enough that you can play comfortably and that even beginners can enjoy. I love this series and will continue to buy it.

This is a typical match 3 game that is great for relaxation and can be played intermittently. The actors act motionless and a small exciting plot is offered. I really liked the match 3 levels and it was a lot of fun. The levels are not too difficult and in my opinion also suitable for beginners. In any case, I felt very well entertained for 6 hours.

I'm a fan of this series and I was happy that the three detectives are active again. Unfortunately, this game is extremely short, it took me just 4 hours (!) including the bonus part and I'm not an expert. The story is quite good, the graphics are nice to look at as usual. I didn't like that there was a change in the characters after only a few parts of this series. Each actor has their own character and special skills that need to be used. James is now replaced by a youngster who doesn't really convince me yet. The HOs are easy and the puzzles are relatively easy to solve, even for inexperienced players. It wasn't a big challenge. Too bad, you could have gotten a lot more out of the game. Of all the episodes in this game series, I found this part to be the weakest. In addition, the game is frozen at one point in the bonus part.
I recommend this game!

What a fantastic game! This is a real gem! I downloaded the game after a game recommendation from Bigfish and I have to say it's the best game I've had on my computer in years. The game is so ingeniously made and everything is just right here: super graphics, an exciting, adventurous story, great music - there are no limits to the superlatives here. The game is split into 5 episodes and is super long - it took me incredible 17 hours. In some scenes you have an all-round view in every direction, including up and down, to find items and ensure progress. It took some getting used to at first, but it quickly became a lot of fun. The puzzles really challenge your head, but you can always find the solution with a little experimentation. There is also a huge amount of collector's items such as butterflies, pieces of jewelery and figures. Of course, there are also hidden objects. I haven't had this much gaming fun in a long time. The whole game was a complete delight. After each episode I was excited to see how it would continue. The ending gives hope that there will be a sequel. The game is simply 100% recommended - if it were possible I would increase it to 500% or give my overall rating 10 Stars.
The game didn't convince me. I found it a pity that you couldn't clear all the cards once the golden cards were unlocked. There wasn't much variety and after a short time I found the game boring. It's a shame, more could have been done with it. But for the same price, I'd rather stick with the Jewel Match Solitaire games, there's a lot more on offer.
It's an older game, but what are you going to do if there aren't any new ones out now? I like the games from the Mystery Tales series because they mostly have a dark and spooky atmosphere. Graphics and background music are just excellent. And the spooky dolls provide the appropriate scary factor. I liked the story about a revenge spirit. I like these games with the supernatural events and the good or bad spirits. This time there was also a camera that could be used to display past events. The selection of HOs and mini-games convinced me. They were just right for my skill level except for a few tricky puzzles. I liked finding the hidden items (morphs, keepsakes and coins) and using the coins to set up a dollhouse after completing the game. What I particularly liked was the good length of the game. It took me over 8 hours including the bonus part.
I was really looking forward to the continuation of the series and was not disappointed. An exciting criminal case has to be solved and I felt like I was in an Agatha Christie film adaptation (and of course suspected the wrong person until the resolution towards the end of the game!). As you can see, it doesn't always have to be ghosts or mythical creatures, a common criminal also does it to offer an entertaining game. The HOs were varied and very entertaining. I liked searching for items under the dwarven hats best, but the other HOs were fun too. I found the well-mixed mini-games easy to moderately difficult, so that even beginners and advanced beginners have no major problems. I found the length of the game - it took me 6.5 hours - to be appropriate and good.
I love the time management games in this series. It's always great to end the mess our hero has caused with his clumsiness. I liked that some levels require you to follow a certain order of collecting items to complete the level. That makes it even more exciting. It's also fun to look for the H bricks, some of which are well hidden under skulls, books or bushes.
And once again it is a matter of protecting humanity from a malicious sorceress. She has covered the world with eternal winter. The exciting plot is packaged in attractive graphics with appropriate but subtle background music. As usual, the characters are beautifully presented. There is a good number of HOs in which, e.g. in addition to the usual list search, you have to partially interact or guess the right object from puzzle pictures. The large selection of minigames caters to all tastes and some of the puzzles are pretty difficult (at least for me). The rotating and sliding puzzles in particular are always a big challenge for me. As usual, morph objects (you really need a magnifying glass for some of them) and other objects are hidden in the pictures again, which unfortunately cannot be searched after completing the game. The game is a good length - it took me 7 hours including the bonus part - and I really enjoyed it.
