I love the Gardenscape series & associated games. This is another great one.
It has the usual garage sale motif of finding gifts for 20 customers in a room in the house. This mixes up the item descriptions between, words, pictures & silhouttes occasionally. It gives you the usual $25 speed bonus on HOGs and has the new feature of financially rewarding/punishing you for clicking. Only click on the objects needed & you get 100% of the bonus money, mis-click a couple times & you get 93% and so on. Not sure how I feel about that.
Some of the items you can purchase have more than the standard 3 options to choose from, allowing you even more customization options. I also like you get a cat this time instead of a dog. I'd like an option to choose a pet type.
I really enjoy it and highly recommend it.

I love hidden object games & while I play the dark supernatural themed ones I do like something bright & cheery every now & then. This is it. You are renovating and old inn and need to find objects to sell in each room to earn enough to buy things. You visit each room 3 times, doing different tasks on each visit.
It's an easy game to play, there are no dark objects against a dark background causing eyestrain but the items can be well camouflaged. It is a nice way to spend a few hours.

This is a light, fun yard sale style hidden object game. It's a great sequel to Gardenscapes. You are now remodeling the interior of the mansion, you earn money by having a yard sale in the various rooms of the mansion, using your hidden object skills to find the items the punters are looking for &then spend the earned money on fixing up the house. This makes a nice easy change of pace from all the dark & spooky hidden object games out there & is great for kids as well as easy on aging eyes that can't spot the tiny grey blur against the slightly darker grey background of other HO games
I recommend this game!

I got to beta this game & really enjoyed it. I liked the variety of characters you can choose from each time, they each have special abilities to help you with the board and they can level up as you go. The boards were a decent variety.
There was a lot of story though, I did find myself skipping it sometimes, both while beta testing & after I purchased it
I recommend this game!

I liked this games balance of hidden object scenes & match 3, but a few more match 3 boards would not have gone amiss. The graphics are great, there is some repetition of scenes but the objects get harder to find each time. This is a long game, well worth the price.
I recommend this game!

It's ok. The game variety is decent, the play is average. Personally the mix didn't work for me.
I don't recommend this game.

This is a long game and a hard game. The first couple generations are not too bad but they get harder and harder as you go. It's worth it though. Each person has their own style board to master & there are 5-6 boards per person.
The plot is not that interesting and some of the characters, like the Docent, get quite irritating when you fail the board & have to try again but the board play is worth it
Play the ultimate jewel matching adventure; turn precious relics to gold! Match wisely, and you’ll unveil the treasures of Africa!

I really enjoyed this entry in the Jewel Quest series. This one has a lot of boards and many interesting challenges to deal with - lighting, monkeys, empty spaces etc.
The storyline appears in short scenes that can be skipped. There is an untimed mode, which I appreciate, especially with the monkeys. The graphics are good, the story is interesting. It is a fun game.
I recommend this game!

This is not my favorite of the Jewel Quest games, but it is an ok play. The HO scenes are good the first time or two you go through them but you go through them several times to the point of where you know where nearly everything is & it loses some fun. When you find enough jewels you get to play a Match 3 board & those are fun. Overall I call it average
I recommend this game!
