What is going on with these Devs? This is childish, the graphics are horrible, nevermind the storyline. I'm pretty sure who came up with this has never been to Ireland or heard any stories related to Leprechauns, Rainbows, or pots of Gold. I'm surprised Elephant Games got involved. By the way King of Fools is an awesome book which has none of these characters.
I don't recommend this game.

It seems the past couple years that a lot of games have nothing to them. But every once in awhile theres one. I have the complete collection of Roads of Rome, from the very start they have entertained and challenged me. there are so many ways to play them and changing levels changes the gameplay. I thank these devs for coming through with this and I hope that Portals is not the end.
I recommend this game!

Thankyou! the past couple years I have been so disappointed in the quality of games here. I have played all 8 previous Spellariums and this one keeps me interested and its fun. you do not repeat old games you give fresh new ideas. Thankyou again, you made my day!
I recommend this game!

12 minutes and I was done. I've played games from the 90's that were far more superior to this. I have games from the original Amazing Adventures. whoever did this game needs to go to school. Don't even waste a dime on this. So glad we get to try games before buying.
I don't recommend this game.

Not a fan of this version that is like the earlier Art by Numbers. I find it frustrating that I have to click to the numbers I want to fill in as it keeps putting it back to the number that is earlier. also found that if I touch an area with no numbers it doesn't say what it is. I love the series and have adapted my way of filling the colors in sections, so I don't just follow the sequence of 1-30 etc. so I too will not be buying this version. At least I still have Art by Numbers 14 to finish. Hope this will not be the last one for me.
I don't recommend this game.

So after reading some of the reviews, I must disagree, first off I found it more challenging then the original Portals at finding the caches, second to the one who found the game too fast, just set it to Relaxed and you can play at your own pace. as for any others..if you haven't played all The Roads of Rome series then you would not enjoy how far they have developed these games. I still play the earlier ones and after playing the entire level one of this one, I was convinced I needed to add it. playng at different experience you will find the game is different on each, relaxed, easy, normal etc. I definately recommend this.

Like the previous review, I bought Paint by numbers 1thru7, won't be buying anymore by this designer. But Art by Numbers is great, you can d o the challenge version or pick your own colors and do it your way. Hope they release the 3rd one soon.
I don't recommend this game.

Having just finished the Demo, this game has left me feeling frustrated. Boy oh boy, if you want to play their challenges, be prepared to be frustrated. Poorly designed and such a dumb storyline. Please play the demo before you buy, think you will be grateful you did.
I don't recommend this game.

I was a bit skeptical at first, whether I would like this game; but after playing for a bit, I found I really enjoyed it. I good change from the normal Hunt and seek (which is getting rather tiresome.) I turned off the sound but the characters were a wee bit long in the tooth (in the verbal dialogue on the screen.) that was my only complaint and it is a small one. I think if you are bored with the normal Hidden objects games, you will enjoy this one.
