This is one of the better TM games out there and I really love the 3D graphics. The king is trying to "find" a new hero to send on a mission to help his brothers in need. You need to chop down trees and repair bridges and gather food and gold. You need to be strategic when constructing buildings, sawmills need to be built in order to build houses and you will also need money to build or repair so you might want to upgrade a hut for more rent. You will repair markets in order to purchase food for the workers. Each level starts out with 3 stars and as the timer drains down, the stars diminish as well. The houses and structures are colorful and the tasks progress nicely making this a very entertaining game, enjoy!
I recommend this game!

This is a search and find game based on the History Channel's American Pickers, with the shows stars, Mike, Frank and of course Danielle. I don't consider this type of game to be a hidden object game, merely a seek and find game because items aren't really hidden just a scene filled with several random objects. Danielle will call Mike, Frank and you of course with a destination for your next pick such as Buddy's Barn. You search for the items on the list and then use a special seeing eye to find a mystery item by watching the meters cold-hot indicator. After all the items have been chosen, you must purchase these items with whatever money you have. Some of the features I disliked about this game were the annoying comments by Mike and Frank and the tons and tons of dialog you have to go through just to get to the search areas. I also didn't understand the buying aspect where some items were "icebreakers" and some items needed to be bundled but all you did was click "buy" therefor it just seemed like useless information. I suppose if you are a fan of the show you will love this game and if you haven't seen the show you will probably find this game a bit boring.
I don't recommend this game.

I really don't understand why this game received such poor ratings, there's all kinds of unique aspects of this game. First of all you get to choose Gangster mode (timed) or Lightweight mode (untimed). Then you get to choose which gangster you want to be, a new member is added after each level. Each gangster has their own speciality or role, such as safe cracking ability. Then you choose which bank to rob (redistribute the wealth) again more are added as you progress. Each bank has 7 hidden wanted posters, inside and out. Each scene has round button with letters hidden that spell Dillinger, again inside and out so when you are casing the joint you need to make sure you have found the available ones because you don't get a chance to go back outside. Any coins or money you find net you more money, they won't be on the list but click on them anyway. There are hidden vaults to find that will give you 10 extra seconds each, to crack the vault in the bank. Every HOS has an item in green which in a sort of riddle formation to figure out. Before you rob the bank, there is a mini game, which in my opinion was boring, you place men at the bank entrances one of which you click to move over coins that are in random spots and then back to the entrance to stop citizens from leaving. Once inside the bank you need to collect different colored keys to the vault as well as all the list items. After completing the HOS you get to crack the vault. You place the different colored keys into the keyholes but they must be in specific slots in the correct order. See, I told you there was a ton of things to do in this game, enjoy!
I recommend this game!

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!
I recommend this game!

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!
I recommend this game!

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!
