I really love games where I have customers to take care of while doing Match 3's and such, but the timer on this one is just too tough for me. It took me 45 minutes to play 3 levels, which I guess I could take as a good thing because the game would last a long time!! But I did get pretty frustrated running out of time. I was bummed that I couldn't pick a level of difficulty or turn off the timer. If you usually don't have trouble with timers, then you'll be fine, but, sadly, not for me.
I don't recommend this game.

This is one of my first purchases as a Big Fish member (way back in 2007) and I replay it over and over. I just love the sound effects, cash (kaching!!), coffee sipping, and such!! You have the option of playing custom boards or changing tiles. One of my top ten go-to games to replay when I feel like relaxing!!
I recommend this game!

I've owned this game for some time now, and even though I prefer HO games over anything else, I do own quite a few TM games. This is one of my favorite in my collection. I go back to it time after time.
Your job simply is to keep the customers happy. You do this by making sure the rooms are vacuumed, customers have newspapers, meals, etc., watering plants, making repairs and such. It moves right along and for me, it is just at that right pace between not-too-hard, not- too-easy, so I find it quite relaxing to play.
Even though it's an older game, I think getting it as a Daily Deal is a great deal! Enjoy!

I just finished this game, and it took me about 8 hours, which is REALLY long for me! (I usually whip through these games in about 2 or 3!) I love a story with more than one storyline to follow and this was just that. Lots of rooms to go to, (not 1000! LOL) but there's a map to help you along, and the level of challenge was just right for me. I played in "expert/hard" mode because I play lots of games, and I'm usually bored by the end because so many of these are so predictable. This is definitely not your cookie cutter HOG, it was a great purchase, and WELL worth it!! Enjoy!
I recommend this game!

I had alot of fun with the first Pizza Chef, so I really liked this one too!! You run a pizza store and have to make Match 3's to clear the board to "cook" your pizzas (you have to make enough space to place the pizzas in the open spaces on the board). In addition, you get Hidden Object Scenes to do in between! So it's a great mixture of different games, and it's not so challenging that it drives you nuts!! Great replay value too! Enjoy!!

I normally purchase adventure games, but I just LOVE the Mystery P.I. series!! The great thing about these games is that while I am 'in between' finding a good, in depth, adventure game, I can play these. There's no storyline to follow, so if you stop playing for a little while, you can just pick up where you left off. My husband loves them too, when he's had a hard day and just wants to relax. The graphics are beautiful, and they do 'take you away' for a little while. I especially liked this one, as I used to vacation in New England as a child. GREAT SERIES!!
I recommend this game!

If you are looking for a relaxing, "kill-some-time" Match 3 game, then this is for you! The only con I have with it is that the levels are short, but there are 80 of them, and so the game lasts a good long time. You travel through all 80 days collecting parts for various items that you need to complete your trip. The game runs great on my older model IBM ThinkPad, so I'm sure it will be fine on most computers. Enjoy!
I recommend this game!
