If you like hidden object games where the items aren't really hidden, you just have to find the items in a scene full of lot's of junk crammed together, then you will love this game. I do however, have to give credit where credit is due, I really enjoyed some of the unusual mini games. In particular the game where you were given a sentence that wasn't spelled correctly but sounded correct if you slowly read it out loud and you could figure out the correct words from a list of words provided. Your mission is to travel the globe in search of 8 items needed to complete your eccentric Uncle McGriffs collections. Once you have found every listed item except the last one, such as a trunk that a cranky parrot is refusing to move from, you then go on to complete a mini game such as matching a real picture to the shadow of that picture by flipping tiles over two at a time. The next scene you go to will have the item that is needed to get the last item on the previous search, crackers to feed the parrot. Then you will need to find an item in the third game to complete the second game and so forth. I'm not a fan of junk pile search and find games but I didn't hate it and I did enjoy the mini games after each HOS, enjoy!

They have changed things around a bit on this Amazing Adventure where the museum has asked us to investigate a piece of an ancient map that was unearthed identifying the location of Egypt's Lost Tomb. They have reduced the number of missions to 20 and you simply only have to find 21 hidden scarabs total in order to unlock only one secret game mode. This edition has us searching airports, gold masks, hotel rooms and cave paintings and they have jam packed each scene with a ton of items. After each seek and find you need to complete a mini game or puzzle such as spot the differences or jigsaw puzzles, to reveal the next location. This is mainly a hidden object game with a lot of fun puzzles, enjoy!

If you are a fan of pic cross, fill and cross, mosaics, whichever you call it, this is a great game with relaxing music. There are 120 puzzles crammed into 6 rooms so your going to be playing for a while. There are 16 trophies to achieve, and the goal is to earn three gold stars for each puzzle but if you don't you can always replay the game until you do. Some of the tiles have hidden coins which can be used to purchase upgrades of extra hints and the number of allowed mistakes or even refill the hint meter if you run out. If you haven't played this type of game, no worries, it looks harder than it really is and there is an excellent tutorial. Enjoy!

The museum has asked us to see if the rumors are true about a forgotten Dynasty after mahjong tiles dating before the first know Dynasty began showing up on the black market. As with all Amazing Adventures, there are 25 missions to complete and you get points for each item found, more points for finding items quickly. You need to find both halves of a yin yang in each scene for a total of 50 which will unlock unlimited seek and finds and bonus games. Some of the scenes you will be searching include the Grand Canal and The Great Wall Of China. After each seek and find mission you need to complete a mini game such as spot the differences, in order to progress to the next level. This is a great series of seek and find with fun and easy puzzles, enjoy!

I have come to the conclusion that every Amazing Adventures is basically the same, therefor it is the theme of the game that makes or breaks it. This seek and find game has a Caribbean Sea nautical theme with many scenes taking place underwater, and I loved it! The museum has tasked us with locating a Spanish ship loaded with gold, that has been missing for over 300 years. There are 25 missions to complete in areas such as an abandoned boat, the voodoo hut and even under the sea! Each scene requires you to find two hidden skulls that aren't on the list and you must find all 50 skulls in order to unlock unlimited seek and find puzzles, and the bonus match 3 games. This game has a unique way of listing the search finds, some of the items are in a riddle type form such as distance viewers, meaning binoculars or telescope. After completing the HOS, you will need to complete a mini game to find out where the next location is. Some of the games require you to put items back into two almost identical side by side pictures until they are identical, others are match 3 games or even jigsaw puzzles. If you like a ton of seek and find items and relaxing mini games then this is the game for you, enjoy!

When Global Mart moves in the farmers are no longer needed, so they choose to adapt instead! Now successful bakers you still need to plant wheat and veggies and harvest the crops. Then you need to collect the flour and veggies and place them in the refrigerator. The bread kneader can then use the flour to knead dough and then it too goes into the fridge. You may need to bake the bread in the oven and click on an angry zoo parrot that escaped and sell his feathers. You will then need to load the truck until full and send it off to the market for cash. All of the goals need to be completed in a limited time frame in order to receive a gold, silver or bronze star. Then you go shopping at the Global Mart for upgrades such as garden seeds, bakery ovens larger trucks and dough kneaders. This is a good TM game but there are a lot of tasks to be accomplished even in the first couple of levels, enjoy!

Another Amazing hidden object adventure with 25 missions to complete. Each scene has 2 hidden crowns not on the list, and you must find a total of 50 in order to unlock the unlimited puzzles and HOS. You must find all 50 crowns in order to achieve the highest ranking as well. These hidden object scenes take place at the train station, airstrip, cafe's and even at a watchmakers shop so surely there are scenes to please just about anyone. Most of the HOS are list finds, some require interactions such as finding a stamp to put on a letter and then placing the stamped letter into the mailbox. A few of the items are in riddle form where the item may simply say it hops to travel, and it is referring to a kangaroo. I was a little disappointed that there weren't nearly as many mini games as in Around The World but they are still fun. Some mini games require you to click on tiles of two or more matches until all the background tiles have changed from black to gold. There were games in which you have to place inventory items back into the side by side almost identical pictures so that both sides are identical. This is a really entertaining game for hoggers of almost any age, enjoy!

Ancient artifact pieces are showing up all around the world. The museum has acquired your services to retrieve these pieces and reassemble them in order to find the most expensive gem of all time, The World Diamond! You travel to countries such as Greece and London to search 25 missions such as castles and museums. Once you complete your mission you will unlock unlimited search finds and spot the differences which is one of my personal favorites. Each scene has 2 gems (for a total of 50) not on your list that you will need to find in order to unlock the freeplay. There are achievements to earn and you get points for each item found, more points for finding items quickly and extra points for a perfect score. After each hidden object scene, you must complete a mini game in order to progress to whatever location that completed puzzle shows. There are puzzles where you swap pieces, place items back into the scene and spot the differences in two almost identical pictures. I really wasn't expecting this game to have so many fun things to do, enjoy!

Amanda's father left the house in a hurry explaining that he was traveling to Arizona to help a friend. A few days later Amanda receives a package and a letter from her father explaining that she is going to get a call telling her that her fathers plane has crashed and her father hasn't yet been found. All kinds of mystery surrounds this story but she flies to Arizona to follow her dad's requests. This is a really unique kind of game, you find items in each scene, some inventory items need further action such as putting two items together to complete. You will need to toggle between the hidden object list and your inventory list as well. You search each scene for available tasks such as a suitcase that requires a code to open. In order to find the code you may need to find a key, open up a dresser drawer, to find a blank piece of paper. After you find all the pieces to an oil lamp, you assemble the lamp, find the matches and light the lamp. Once the lamp is lit, you take the blank paper, hold it to the light in order to make the code for the suitcase show up. Very time consuming but very interactive and fun, enjoy!

What a nice Alice In Wonderland Adventure with Mahjong tiles. It certainly will please people of almost any age. Your first task is to find 5 white rabbits, and then you get to match Mahjong tiles with the goal of matching the golden tiles which contain the missing item you are looking for such as a pair of white gloves. The tiles themselves are colorful mushrooms, mad hatters, rabbits, clocks and just about everything else you can imagine from Alice's Wonderland. Great game, enjoy!
