As a brain injured adult, this game challenged my eye-to-brain and brain-to-hand coordination. It is colorful, cute and offers a variety of hidden object challenges. It also offers plenty of ways to accumulate hints and coins, which is great to help me from getting frustrated when I get stuck!
An area I see as a technical problem is when you still have a number of items to find in a scene, it shows this number on the main board, it tells you there are more to find in that scene when you click on it, but it does not open the scene so you can complete it. Even though I completed all of the scenes the PLAY button was still showing, but it only brings you back to the main board and the cycle begins again.
Nevertheless, I'll enjoy this game over and over again!
I recommend this game!

This game is similiar to Animal Kingdom in its structure: two screens to work with, morphing objects to get for bonuses and photos to find. A lot of things to remember at the same time for the damaged brain. The coloring pages also present a small challenge. I love flowers so using my bonus points to buy them and create my garden is great fun. The game works the nuero pathways for the eye-to-brain, brain-to-hand exercises. Wish I could find more games like this.
I recommend this game!

My laptop is 64 bit and this game will not display correctly. It cannot fill the screen, the box in the upper right is greyed out, and it's partly hanging off the screen so you can't get the text instructions.
Animal Kingdom is a unique hidden-object game straight out of the wilderness!

Due to a concussion from an auto accident I have difficulty with eye-to-brain, brain-to-hand, brain-to-eye, and brain-to-mouth abilities, so playing 2 hours of cognitive games each day helps engage the nuero pathways. This game is just perfect for me.
The need to focus on only 3 categories of items to find at any one time is still a challenge and I have to look at the list at the bottom often because my memory is only a few seconds. The switch between screens adds another layer of challenge because I don't remember the last screen scene after a few seconds, so each time I switch between them it's as if I never saw it before.
Extra points to the developers for not freezing the screen when I click incorrectly, allowing an untimed version, the trivia question after each level, and above all, using points accumulated when I get the trivia question wrong. I've seen few other games that actually use the points earned. What good is accumulating points if they are not used?
I'll look for more games by this developer.
I recommend this game!

I'm surprised this item is included in Big Fish Games, as it is not a game and is really boring. Clicking on highlighted blocks, many that are very, very tiny just holds no appeal. I did get a sore wrist from the one hour trial, though.
Another drawback to this 'game' is that you have to complete the 10 picts they offer in the first level, before you can move to a higher level with, supposedly, better picts.
For those reviewers who noted that they couldn't see the tiny spots...read the instructions and they advise how to magnify and move the screen around to clearly see all the tiny spots. That part of this 'game' does work perfectly; however, it does not help to reduce the boredom level or increase my rating.
I don't recommend this game.

The biggest problem, of many, with this game is that the background is not defined, so you can't see which tiles need to be cleared, besides that, all you're doing is matching. There are small goals, like trying to clear a certain number of one tile to earn other power-ups. The game praises your multi-match combinations by flashing text on the screen, which doesn't allow you to match while displayed. Anything that interrupts game play is unacceptable. The mini games can't be skipped. You collect points but there isn't anything to purchase with them. The story is lame and verbose. It's good point is that the graphics are bright and colorful.
I don't recommend this game.

At first I thought this was another game for children based on the graphics and how easy it was to clear the boards in limited moves, but as you play along you earn power ups that are bright, colorful and POWERFUL! Without them, and utilizing them correctly, you wouldn't be able to achieve the level goals in the number of moves allowed. It's very, very colorful and bright. The graphics are child-like, but they match the game well. Did you notice that the penguins make faces at you if you don't match them after a while? Very cute, a good challenge and more fun than I've ever had with a limited-moves game. I thought I would dish it after the first few rounds, but found it grew on me! I love it!
I recommend this game!

This cute and colorful M3 is so simplistic it can only be meant for children...very young children. Is it only my computer or did others have to click and click to move pieces. I could not drag and drop. All my other games drag/drop feature work fine. Also, the drop time for the game board is very slow and it doesn't allow for another move until all tiles have settled in place. The children will love it, but it's not for experienced gamers.
I don't recommend this game.

This higher/lower solitaire game is the first I've enjoyed completing, all 120 levels. It has a storyline and many card designs to choose from, which helps keep the visual ever-changing. It's one that doesn't require you to remove EVERY card from the board to be allowed to move on to the next level. The bonus system is both achievable and extensive, allowing you to complete the more complex game boards. While you may have to replay some levels if you don't clear enough of the board, you don't have to remove every card. I wish more solitaire games played in this way and carried a storyline instead of just showing you how many of the levels you've completed. I'm going to look for more solitaire games by this manufacturer!
I recommend this game!

I have to agree with the majority, this game is lifeless! The graphics are very old technology, the story is slim, the changes in game mode of number of moves vs timed, and the unexplained/undefined bonuses all go into making this a zero game. I replayed level 9 about 10 times. It's a limited number of moves and the only way to ring the bell is to get the ship wheel in the space next to the bell. On one attempt I did manage to ring the bell twice, but then ran out of moves. On level 8 a new power up appears that's not explained...there are sparkles coming from your cursor and while in this mode it will break any tile you touch. Takes a couple of levels to figure that one out. The points of not being able to adjust the sound volumes are minimal compared to the other issues this game has against it. Play the original Jewel Quest games and enjoy them over and over. This one is for the scrap pile!
I don't recommend this game.
