There are 10 levels: Tropic, Jungle, Prairie, Forest, Mountain, Desert, Grove, Ocean, Cave and Volcano. Help Jack escape this Island. Each level has from 5 to 11 panels, and the icons are appropriate to that level -- bats in cave for example. You earn your power-ups which are called "equipment". There is a Quest Mode and a Frenzy Mode. There is a journal which guides the story. You can play untimed (which I recommend.) The programmers give very good instructions on how to play the game.
I recommend this game!

Really enjoyed the hidden objects in this game. There are riddles to solve, and pictures to interpret so you have to think. The hint key is very helpful. The scenes are well done. The characters are good and there is humor.

The jewels are bright and varied. However, each building is basically the same. You can map out a course to treasures which are the powerups, and then to the entrance to the tomb. There are bugs, snakes and a mummy. I really did not care for the scarab races. The puzzles at the end of each building have a timer, and you cannot skip either the race or the puzzle.

Great game with colorful graphics, easy hidden objects, four levels of play. The mini-puzzles were mostly easy. There are achievemens to win, crowns to collect and fact cards.

This match3 has it all. You can play relaxed, or limit your time and your moves. There are 90 levels and several levels have either a game of solitaire or hidden objects to find. You earn three assistants. Mushroom Man takes shots at some tiles; Fairy also hits random tiles; Stumpy throws star bombs. There are lady bug, ice, and wooden obstacles. You are required to match specific icons in each level.

Once again Queen Sophia goes on a journey to save her parents. The little dragon and owl help you on your quest.
The hidden objects and min-puzzles are very good. The bonus sequence is a delightful surprise as Sophia's daughter is playing with you as her governess. The dragon is now grown up with a little dragon and the owl is older but still helping you. You can also collect flower plaques and at the end build a garden.

This game was first in a series of three. I actually played the third game first, then the second and finally this one. This game starts out with a black and white atmosphere. You must find 5 rings in order to activate a time machine and travel to the past. The hidden objects are fine, the mini-puzzles pretty standard. I did however notice that I had one item in inventory that was never used.

This is an older game and perhaps that is the reason for little guidance to where the player is to go. There is an "inspect" guide, but if you cannot remember which direction to go in you just "wander" around. The hint button only works for the hidden objects. I was thankful for the walkthrough. The graphics were nice.
I don't recommend this game.

The match 3 game has about 63 levels. Each level involves several moving boards with the typical wood, fog, and chains. You have several modes of play timed, untimed, lazy, etc. There are also 8 Sudoku puzzles and 11 Mah Jong games. You unlock these by gaining money. As other gamers have mentioned you are restoring gems and rebuilding parts of a town. The hidden objects part of the game gives you items to use in building. Although I did like the game, I thought the hidden objects became rather boring toward the end as the same ones are repeated over and over.
I recommend this game!

Really enjoyed playing this game. There are 50 levels to travel through time; five or six tasks to complete in each level. You earn points by matching and can buy powerups in right had corner. Swap button at bottom right recharges. I played the relaxed mode, but want to try the timed. The graphics are well done and the icons on the boards change with each new location. There is a puzzle at the end of each segment. Looking forward to the sequel.
I recommend this game!
