As previous reviewers have said, this game is not for the beginner! The Hidden Objects can be hard to find, but the hint button does allow you to get the hints necessary to complete each scene. I averaged about 2-3 hints per scene. In the mini games, few have any instruction at all. I attempted all of them. In some cases I thought I had completed the game correctly, but then nothing happened, so I had to skip the game. If you are not familiar with many types of mini games, it can be rather frustrating.
I did complete the game with the help of Hints and Skips.
The ending is a little abrupt and leads me to believe there is a sequel out there now or it's being developed.
I got the game on sale for $2.99 and I feel that's a good value.
I recommend this game!

This is just a fun game to play. You are on a quest and along the way you are learning about your past. You meet some very interesting characters. You are looking for objects to complete specific tasks at each stop on your journey. You play some enjoyable mini games. There is at least one that I haven't played before. The music is pleasant and the voice overs are realistic. The story makes the game more interesting and it has an ending that makes sense! What more could you ask for in a game!
I recommend this game!

I love games like this where you travel through history in mini chapters! In each time period you get to look for various items needed to complete the major tasks for that chapter. Some chapters are shorter than others. You do go back and forth between various sites in each chapter, but you have a map which makes it easier to do it. There are various mini games throughout, that are fairly standard but still fun. You do have the option to skip them if you choose. The hints are pretty generous and usually helpful. An overall enjoyable game!
I recommend this game!

What makes this game so much fun is the coyote. You never know what he's going to say next. I played in relaxed mode and really enjoyed the game. You keep going to the same sites looking for objects, although what you're looking for changes each time. After you complete a level, you have to do a mini game to win an object of one of the gods. It's educational in that you get to learn more about the various gods in Aztec mythology. There are some twists at the end that I wasn't expecting, but it's a game that actually has an ending that makes sense. This is one game I'll play again!

It's actually not as bad as many of the previous reviewers said. The storyline follows Alice in Wonderland pretty well. Although some objects are hard to find, I'm finding almost all of them. They do allow you to keep up to 6 hints at a time, and I found I have been keeping 6 the majority of the time. It's important to keep your brightness up on the computer. There are a few mini games that are keeping with the theme of the story. So far I have had to skipped 2 of them, which at least is an option. I'm enjoying playing the game although I can see how it could be tough for some younger children as you do need to be diligent in finding many of the objects.
I recommend this game!

Like many of the previous reviewers, I also enjoy a game that is light and fun for a change. It's too bad Big Fish doesn't have more lighter games. Too many are dark. I play those as well, but it's fun to play a game with no deaths. I enjoyed going to the various places to find objects and the mini games, although nothing new, were still fun to play. The storyline is also fun!
I recommend this game!

I do enjoy HOG where you can remodel something. This was a good one! I enjoyed going to the various rooms looking for objects. The rooms were fun. In each room you were looking for objects that would unlock other rooms. Besides finding specific items from a list, you also had to put items back into the room where they belonged. That could be a challenge once in a while. You also had to find so many of a given type of object in each room. Once each room was cleared, they could be rented out. You also look for coins in almost every scene and as you were finding things you were earning the money to redecorate the outside of the Inn. The choices for redecorating were beautiful and fun.
I need to find more games like this one. No one is lost or dead, and no creepy music for a change. Just relaxing fun!
I recommend this game!

Remember old fashioned Easter Egg Hunts? Now translate that fun into a game. That's what you get with this game. It's easy enough for kids but fun for adults as well! I've already played it twice. The objects are mostly easy to find, but in each Hidden Object Scene you must also look for the Easter Bunny, other bunnies and eggs to score points. The games are easy but several of them have an Easter theme to them, such as decorating Easter eggs and matching Easter bonnets to the correct outfit. It you want a relaxing game to play for Easter, this is the one!
I recommend this game!

I love playing the Fishdom games so I thought I'd give this one a try. For the first 15 minutes or so of the game, I couldn't figure out how to get it in full screen mode. The setting for this was a bit weird in that you had to click one of the options to get it out of a particular mode in order to get it into full screen. It started out OK, but then as I got to higher levels, it would not give me enough of the specific fish I needed to complete the level. After playing the same level about 3 times, and the same thing happening, I was saved by my trial period ending. You do get to choose some of the elements for the store, and there is even a challenge round which I don't think I quite understood how to play it. There was also one Hidden Object Scene I managed to play during the trial. It did have to be in full screen to complete.
I don't recommend this game.

I played this in Casual mode but am considering replaying it in Expert mode. I loved the storyline. It kept me guessing until the end. I made one choice. I'd like to replay the game to change the ending. In Casual mode, it is a relaxing and fun game. You can actually find the hidden objects. The mini games are also easy. I love the graphics. I don't listen to the sounds as I'm usually playing games while watching TV.
I recommend this game!
