As an adult I found this game too childish to really enjoy, but I'm not sure kids won't become frusterated for many reasons. In the HOG when you come across the flashing wolf for a mini game which is simply a stop button, it stops on negative amounts, I got negative 250 points in the first scene which even I became upset. The items aren't well hidden they are just super tiny. When you come to a mini game such as dressing the easter eggs, you had to click on the EXACT spot that say the carrot went or it returns it and you have to pick it up again several times until you get to the right spot. But in all fairness I'm not a kid and this just might keep them entertained on a snow day!
I don't recommend this game.

My only complaint is the fact that the Easter Bunny in this game is ugly not cute and cuddly. The game itself however is an addicting kind of match three game that you will enjoy playing with or without the kids. You must match at least 3 of the same color easter eggs while collecting the carrots and cupcakes and coins that you will use to buy decorations for the easter dinner. As you match tools such as scissors you will use those scissors to cut the rope and free up the eggs, or a paintbrush to paint the large egg to free up those tiles covered by the egg! There are cute mini games between levels such as find 10 hidden bunnies, or paint an easter egg etc. and you will earn trophies as you advance. A good Easter themed match three game.
I recommend this game!

It has been a long time since I have wanted to purchase a game after the demo. I have to know the rest of the story, and I became completely engrossed in the game. A young man tells us how as a boy he was dropped off at a foster home with only a large suitcase because his parents were in fear for their lives! When he turned 25 his foster parents gave him a letter and a map to return to his birthplace and find his special abilities. He meets a beautiful child on the island who is helping him in his quest. The characters themselves are extremly well done and very realistic, and the voiceovers match their lip movement. There are a ton of things to do and find in every scene, and you will get a detailed map. when you choose an area on the map it will open up a picture of each scene and tell you where an area of interest is. The hint system will point the direction to go without draining the hint bar, but if it shows you something specific it will take a few seconds to recharge. Now let's get to the HOS because this one's truely different! As you find the items in the HOS you will see a calander and a clock appears, when you click on the clock you will time warp into the past at the same location to finish a HO in that area as well! Now if you can't find an item, or you don't know what it is. you click on the word in the list and a box pops up with a picture and letters scrambled. you must unscramble the words to match the clue and when spelled correctly it will automatically find yhe object you clicked on. Is that enough to make you wanna play? How about the fact that you get an amulet to fill for magic powers, or you can turn back time, or there are scenes underwater? I'm going to download this game now and find out more, You will probably do the same after the demo!

A game well done. Although there are no "extra's" in this version it is still a really good game to play. The phoenix queen wants to destroy everything because of corruption, and she is starting with Enchantia! What this game does have is more important than what it doesn't, like the beautiful graphics that make you feel like you are in a magical land surrounded by waterfalls, flowers and mystical creatures. Elves and dwarfs and wizards <Hobbit?> help you throughout your journey to defeat the Phoenix Queen and her fire breathing phoenix! You will use your map to travel between magical lands collecting statues and tools etc. and using these items in every location. There is a hint system to show you which direction to go, or to use the map to travel to another location. The HOS is a bit different than most, the same type as in the dark parables series, you must find the parts of a sword for example that are scattered and hidden in a scene and you have a picture of what the part looks like and when you find all the missing pieces it goes together to make a sword or an orb etc. It sounds easy, but they do a nice job of blending items. Play the demo at the very least because I'm sure you will enjoy this game as well!

As the story goes, explorers found a mass grave of human skeletons and unleashed a curse upon the whole town! Now a posessed woman is stealing everyones souls leaving behind a zombie bag of bones and when the pilot of your crashed plane becomes her latest victim you begin to scour the town to find a way to defeat her. Great story, you should also try the other Hallowed Legends, great crisp graphics and a talking crow to fill you in on the towns history as well as help you in those hard to reach areas. There is a lot to do in this game, the HOS are slightly interactive such as pick up the knife and cut the orange in half. There are 3 modes of difficulity casual/advanced/hardcore, a map that has photos of each scene that will be black and white and in color if there is something to do in that area and you can quickly travel to that location. The mini games are fun such as filling tubes up to equal the tube amount next to it. This version doesn't have morphing objects or achievements but there is still a lot of activities going on and is well worth the purchase.
I recommend this game!

I have to point out the fact that when the detective arrives at the mansion, a young beautiful woman, the granddaughter who inheirated the Rossolimo mansion and all it's wealth, tells him that when it's dark eerie things happen. She thinks it evolves around the mosolium room that at this point is glowing green and is shaking like an earthquake is happening. Now she goes with him into the green glowing room and tells him she thinks it might be coming from the tomb that is shaking violently with green mist oozing out of the lid! Who needs a detective? This woman is clairvoint! Anyway, there are three modes of difficulity, there is no map but you can re-play the cutscenes from your journal. This game has all sorts of activity, some of the HOS are typical list finds and some are items that need put back where they belong such as a skeleton hand in your inventory goes onto the skeletons arm in the scene. There are a lot of mini games mostly puzzle pieces with a twist such as a family portrait you must switch pieces that are shaped in triangles to form a complete picture and the pieces are jumbled if put into a triangle facing the wrong way. Another feature this game has is just as the last Secret of the dark, you can change the lighting of the room such as if you close the fireplace screen the whole room is dark and eerie with actions that can only be used in one or the other lighting. If this sounds confusing, don't worry, the tutorial will guide you very well. The hint system will show you a scene where the next action or inventory item can be used. I felt that this game would have deserved five stars if beyond objects or achievements were available.

The game itself has the classic as well as timed modes of play. I played one game of classic against the computer and won, and it was to boring to play again. But if you love scrabble or just want some practice before challenging your friends you will like this game. I probably won't purchase this game but I do feel it's a game well done for what it is, so to scrabble lovers I recommend this.

Quite frankly this is a very boring game, I thought the hour would never end! Same old vampire controls thirst for humans and longs to be human and marry a mortal. The graphics were okay and the mini games were mostly simple puzzle pieces you rotate and snap in place. The HOS were simply tiny objects not well hidden. You have a map in your journal for traveling period. Long periods between finding objects and scenes with very little to do. The hint system only tells you there is nothing to do search elsewhere and only two levels of difficulty. There is no voiceover, just dialog boxes you read some of which scrolls to fast to read. I don't even know if Jessica knows Todd is a vampire or what happened to her at the resturant
I don't recommend this game.

Not a bad game, but the storyline is the same secret order society, newest member has turned evil. The daughter of one of the members must now go to the museum and unlock secret passages while being hunted by the evil member. The graphics are very clear and I thought the items in the HOS were much to small. The mini games aren't to hard but some are a little time consuming such as the cog wheel puzzle where you had to guide a gear through cogwheels with openings passing underneath or beside the cogwheels several times in order to get the openings to line up to open the path. There is a map in your journal that you have to click on the journal. then click on the map tab to open so it's a little time consuming, but it shows you what areas have a task to do or use for traveling to that area. There are no collectables, no achievements, several levels of difficulties, and a hint system that shows you which direction to go or circles an object that needs something from your inventory. It's not a wow, gotta have this kind of game, but it is a decent game to play.

Well I suck at math, but I rule on visual, and memory and I have room for improvement on word and right-left hand! You have to give this game a chance because the first few levels are basic and easy so you understand what to do as the game progresses and becomes harder and you have to click faster. The memory part consists of a maze in the form of lit blocks on a path to the mouses cheese and when the blocks darken you have to recreate the path or recreate which blocks the mice were on. The word section consists of a word you are shown and you find that word in a honeycomb, or you choose which word is correctly spelled as several words bounce around or respell a word backward. There are so many more challenges and you should at least download the demo and test your brain today, you might be suprised!
