I love games I can play over and over with the board never quite the same. This fits the bill. The first Rainbow Web didn't have much variation in the boards, but this one does. The games in between boards are very easy with lots of hits, should you require them. I had a little trouble with the hidden objects, my eyes are bad. The storyline was dull. I played the game completely through a second time without reading the story and discovered it really isn't necessary to read. And there was only one brief drawing of a spider, so fear not fellow arachnophobes! I also like that the game can be timed or relaxed. I don't do well with timers.
This is an intriguing game. I love the green men and the storyline is delightful. My only problem is my eyes. The background picture can be changed to black so it doesn't interfere with the squares but the areas that are clicked "NO" can be hard to see. The "YES" squares are bright blue, that was good. There are an ample supply of hints and misclicks so I rarely had to redo a puzzle.
If you like jigsaws, this is the best one. Lots of pictures, and the ability to add my own photos is nice. Pieces don't need to be rotated and you can choose the amount, size, and shape of pieces. Plus the background colors. Try the free edition and I guarantee you will be hooked!
This is not a game for everyone. The storyline is positively magical, but not everyone likes to read. The entire game has a delicate cloud feel. As soon as I finished, I went right back and started over. The zen quality of the artwork and story is unlike anything I've ever seen.
A fire breaks out during a concert, and now your daughters are both missing. Hurry to track them down – their music may hold the key to life and death!
I have never played a game with so many different types of puzzles. Most weren't so hard I skipped them, but none were easy either. This is a sequel that is better than the first one! And the map made it easy to get around and help me remember where things were. I didn't play the collector's version but there wasn't a "submit your review" button. Either way, this was a great game!
Fun game, but ends oddly. I still had tape at the end and according to the map, there were still several rooms that were locked. If they weren't needed for the game, then why have them? The forum was helpful when I got stuck as there isn't a walkthrough.
I recommend this game!

Not your typical hidden object. It's more of find an object and do something with it to find another object. The rooms are beautiful and there's a great map to make it easy to maneuver around the game and find where there are actions, what's locked, etc. It is a long game - I spent four hours one rainy afternoon and didn't even get halfway done. Nor did I get bored. The sound is beautiful - haunting, cave sounds, etc. Some puzzles really easy, some really hard. But don't worry, you can skip the ones you don't want to fight with. If you are unsure, try the 60 minute sampler. You get a feel for the game without being disappointed with it after you buy it. I tried one of the other Sable Maze games and didn't like it at all. So don't compare this one to another!
I recommend this game!

Just like the soda machine at work - the "claw" game took all my coins and wouldn't let me pick anything up. Fortunately, it was during the trial version. This is only the second time in about 8 years that I've had a bug in a game. Also, this is not a typical hidden object. It's more of a hidden parts of an object. Not as enjoyable for me, but I know people that like that kind of thing.
I play hidden object games all the time. Making my own map isn't difficult, but I didn't like the game having unanswered questions. For example, the spindle room is there, but I can't and don't need to get in it. So why is it there? The same for the debris blocking the door in the throne room. The secret room (hard level) was a disappointment. Clicking on a painting and finding out it is in remarkable condition is nice, but it wasn't part of the game and should have no more description than a bottle in the kitchen. Overall, not Big Fish's best effort.
