The facts about Greece are the only interesting part of this game. All you do is get 50 of this and 30 of that and take pieces of artifacts off the board. Very disappointing.
I don't recommend this game.
Complete Match 3 levels as you search for a lost civilization.

I have played all of this developer's games and this one is a real challenge. There are 218 Crowns (or levels). If you don't obtain a crown on certain levels not all the levels will open. Taking your time and using the 6 tools -hammer, bomb, torch, bottle, line eraser, and magnet- help you achieve the crowns. You are given 3 of these when they first open and you can buy more. You also buy a town. You match diagonally and straight. There are some obstacles such as chains. There are also some interesting puzzles --they come in little gift boxes -- to solve. You need to free a seal, birds, etc. Overall, a very good game.
I recommend this game!

I seem to be playing these games in reverse order, but enjoying them. The graphics are not as gloomy as "Unlocked". The hidden objects are inter-active and I love the multiple mini-puzzles solving one step to advance to the next (and in most cases, you can skip one part if you wish).
I recommend this game!

One of the best match-3's. Most levels give you three minutes to complete. The gems earn you totems and bonuses. There are achievements and chests to help you earn tokens and gems. Be sure to claim your achievements as the game progresses. Use the tokens on the slot machine to gain more gems to purchase upgrades to your totems and other power-ups. There are detailed instructions if you get lost.
I recommend this game!

Long and varied SE game. I really liked the complex mini-puzzles where you can complete one, take the item and use it on the next puzzle. You can skip each one individually in needed. The graphics were dark and grim and the hidden objects were matching, silhouette and use some objects to obtain others.
I recommend this game!
The mountain town of Glockenverk is in the grip of a dramatic and deadly cold spell. Set out with your trusty feline friend, Mr. Jenkins, to crack the case!

I beta tested this game, so I was very eager to purchase the entire game. I was a little disappointed in how fast it went. There are excellent graphics, a map (you can teleport), a diary with notes, a slide presentation and a task list. The hidden objects are find matching pairs and put pieces together for the most part -- you do go back to some of the same ones. The mini-games were pretty easy and your magic watch helps to unfreeze the animals. The bonus section seemed like an afterthought rather than something new. Beginners would enjoy this game as it flows without going back and forth.
I recommend this game!

As others have commented, there are real live people and then the hidden objects and mini-games. I would have preferred no "real life people". I did like the cat, however, cute and would play with toys you found for it. Try it -- you might like it as it is very different, but not for me.
I don't recommend this game.

This game has 10 chapters to help you solve who is destroying Barsia. The hint button was a little awkward on the left side when you are right-handed. I'm not really a fan of the hidden object type in this game, i.e. finding all the pieces and game puts them together. There is a map but not very detailed, you can teleport sometimes and there is an objective list. Some of the mini-games were new to me, but I disliked the ones on the box -- too much repetition.
I recommend this game!

Challenging game as you must bring fire to frozen coins, get across water, boards, rocks and ice. Pretty Christmas icons and friendly ghosts to help you build a town to celebrate. Match four or more and get stars to bomb the area. There are also mahjong panels to solve.
I recommend this game!

I thought this was a very good SE. You have a choice of casual, Advanced, Hard and Custom. You can view a map, goals, notes and videos. I liked the graphics maybe because blue and purple are favorite colors of mine. I disagree with other reviewers - I thought the graphics were very good and sharp. You have a lantern to get rid of the shadows, but this was one part I really didn't like as the stars and lines never seemed to turn green so I just skipped that part. I did like all the interactive HOPs. I also liked the mini story games where you had to perform several tasks.
I recommend this game!
