I always look forward to Casual Art's Christmas Wonderland and their summer release of Park Adventures and this 15th installment of one of our favorite Christmas games is so entertaining. Yes, some of the scenes are the same, but there's always something different or new added to them. I'm only halfway through, but I have seen new and creative puzzles that are fun and different. The artwork, the detail, the music, perfect to put you in the mood for the holiday season. The collector's edition is packed with screen after screen of highly detailed scenes that I always have to inspect and enjoy before the search for objects begins. Details are down pat, they always bring a smile, and I have to hold myself back so I don't go through them too quickly. So get a cup of joe or hot cocoa, a snack or two and enjoy this latest edition of Christmas Wonderland...such a joy! Thanks Casual Arts, for another chance to hang out with our pals in Springfield for the holidays!

Brilliant blend of two of our long-time favs from Casual Arts - our favorite characters from Pinecreek Hills and the kids from Springfield - and of course, plenty of Halloween ghosts and witches to satisfy. I'm trying to pace myself so I don't go through this one too fast. Enjoying the graphics as always, busy scenes that make hunting a little more challenging but always fun! Thank you Casual Arts for finally giving us not only another Halloween Treats, but a bonus view of our favorite Pinecreek Rangers enjoying the Halloween/Fall season as well. Loving it!

I wanted something that was hidden object but a bit on the different side and I can say that this is relaxing - so is the first one of the series. Four tableaus to choose from with every screen - 3 levels each of each scene, plus a 'puzzle' of some sort with 2 different levels on each screen. I didn't count, but I think there's 7 or 8 screens, so x4 is about 24 hidden object screens. You need to find 3 racoons on each screen. Great images, everything clear, some levels harder than others, but all around fun AND relaxing, which is just what I was looking for. Wished I could have turned off the music in a few, but all in all, this game is perfect if you just want to kick back and relax.
I recommend this game!

As always, I eagerly await every new addition to the VA series, and this one has now been added to my collection. A number of different scenes, different tasks, and as always, our familiar friends and park rangers to spend a few days with. It's nice to be back in Pinecreek and to see the new additions to the park and just sit back and relax and feel the good feels while playing.

I renewed my club membership to get this one, and I'm not disappointed. When so many of the new games here have been a disappointment and I've been playing my older downloaded games, this one and Park Rangers are always a must buy for me. Never disappoints!

When I saw this early release of Vacation Adventures: Park Ranger 13 CE, I had to blink twice. I don't have to wait until summer? What a treat! Of course, I have every version of this game, so of course, I bought the CE, no questions asked. Nice to hang out with old friends at Pinecreek Hills and enjoy several hours of escape with gentle background music, fun play, and a sense of camaraderie that is sorely needed in these troubling times. As always, graphics are great, scenes are incredibly detailed, and the hidden objects not always easy to find. Love, love, love this game and can play it over and over again. It makes me smile, so I guess you can say that #13 is a success!
I recommend this game!

Vacation Paradise, France CE lives up to its reputation of previous games by offering beautiful scenes and locations, as well as multiple tasks (finding flags and fleur-de-lis ) in its scenes as well as wickedly hidden objects that are often challenging to find. Count on hours of enjoyment with this one! I don't much care for some of the music for some of the locations, but I just turn the music down. I'm barely a quarter of the way through but enjoying the game and know that I can play it over and over, so well worth the money.
I recommend this game!

As a fan of the I Love Finding Cats and Dogs, I purchased the CE of this 'Critters' collection with pleasure and I'm not disappointed. Challenging, fun, and with beautiful scenery and locations, it's been a blast, and I'm only halfway through! If you're looking for something relaxing, with cuter than cute critters, this is a game for you, offering hours of enjoyment.

I just finished the CE edition. Overall, good game play. The mini games rather on the tough side for me and I ended up clicking the Skip button on most. Hidden objects and 'eyes' relatively easy to spot once you inspect each scene to find them. I had no issues with the game play, but more explanation in the beginning about the missing Rick would help clarify objectives for those new to the series. I found it a tad short but the Bonus Game was fun. Now all we need is to find out what happened to Rick, but I guess we'll (maybe) find out in the next game?
I recommend this game!

Love this new addition to the Laruaville series. Creative scenery/backgrounds, buildings, and of course challenges all along the way to build a western town out in the middle of nowhere.
I've got about 20 levels completed and having as much fun now as I did when I started and I know that the last level will be just as much fun too.
The best things about Laruaville is that you can play it over and over and over. Good bang for the buck, and hours of endless enjoyment.
Won't bother repeating much of what has been said, so simply saddle up and have a good time.
I recommend this game!
