This game has potential, but it also has too many irritating flaws. First, muting the sound does not work. I like to watch TV while playing and if I can't mute sound I won't play. The controls have a lag time that I also find irritating. Windows pop up and don't go away quickly when you are done with them. You have to find just the right spot to click or move your cursor to. I do like the concept, but I couldn't stand to play long enough to see if the storyline was any good.
I don't recommend this game.
In the latest Fantasy Mosaics adventure, join Penguin Harry on the high seas for new mosaic puzzle challenges!

I love the pirate ship and island theme! Let the haters hate, those of you that love Fantasy Mosaics will be happy with this newest one.

The carnival theme intrigued me and I wish I could have loved this game. It is a basic solitaire game, but here are my 2 deal-breaker issues: The screen is narrow and the cards are small. There is no reason for this in a new game. The other thing I do not like is that when you get a "bonus" you can not click on the next card until the popup clears. Doesn't seem like a big deal, but it interrupts the flow of the game and I find it irritating. As always, try for yourself, but I recommend playing the demo before wasting money or a credit.
I don't recommend this game.

One of my complaints about HO games, is that almost all of the newly released games are all so cookie cutter: same storylines, same puzzles, same objectives (why do we always have to find a pull tab for a zipper?). The creators of this game used a little bit more imagination, giving us some new challenges. Nothing mind-boggling, but at least it's not the same old same old. I probably wouldn't buy it outright, but it is certainly on my list for the next BOGO.
I recommend this game!

I really enjoyed this game. It is a pretty straight-forward hidden object game with a couple of puzzles per chapter. If that's not your thing, fine, don't buy it. You don't have to leave a bad review about a game just because your likes and dislikes differ from other people's. Just move on to what you do like.
Furthermore, I experienced no glitches and I have played it all the way through. The instructions on writing reviews specifically state: "Don't use reviews to report technical issues." As with any game, try before buying so you know if there is an issue with your platform.
As for the complaints of too much dialogue, THEY ADDED A SKIP BUTTON as requested after the last game release. Is it too much trouble to just click the skip button?
I recommend this game!

I really enjoyed this game. It is pretty much all HOS with a few fun puzzles thrown in. This would be a buy for me and I would be giving it 5 stars except that the dialogue just goes on and on between every scene and puzzle and between every chapter. I feel like I am spending more time clicking through dialogue than I do actually playing the game. There really needs to be an option to skip the dialogues.

While figuring out the griddlers is fun, what I enjoy most are the decorations you get after every 5 puzzles. And this newest release has taken it to the next level in my opinion. The scenes, inside and outside the little house get more enchanting with each game. Many have a mini-game attached that you can play over and over.
It might not be your thing, but many of us still love Fantasy Mosaics just the way they are.
I recommend this game!

For some people these games get redundant, but I see the little improvements they make with each one. I find these games one of the most relaxing ways to waste time.
I recommend this game!
If you are a virtual bird but love adventure too, this game is just for you.

I love the Adventure Trip games and this one is no exception. I have played almost all of the levels and none of the items were off the screen as one reviewer said. This is pure hidden object with not much of a storyline so it may or may not be your thing. Play the demo and see if it is!
I recommend this game!

Like many have said, this game seems aimed at children. My problem with that is right off the bat the little girl needs to find a revolver/pistol (terms used in the game) to shoot the evil tree. I think this sends the wrong message and could result in a child looking for and using a firearm in real life.
I don't recommend this game.
