As much as I love my Christmas Stories, it's good to have other options out there. The Wicked Witch is back and she's stolen all of the christmas presents in Oz!
To me it makes sense to try a Wizard of Oz holiday theme given that they televise that movie every year at Christmas time. This one was pretty lengthy and loaded with puzzles, which you could play on "hard" or "easy" or just skip them entirely. The HO puzzles were fun, as well.
I could only give it four stars, unfortunately, because the story seemed to meander a bit and the acting was a bit off balance. Otherwise, it was a fun game that will get you in a Christmas mood!
I recommend this game!

I was hesitant about buying this game because of the low reviews but I'm glad I didn't listen. It was on par with the other Christmas Stories games with the gorgeous graphics, fun mini-games and lessons learned.
A conductor aboard the Enchanted Express has you walk through three stories (including your own) in order to help people as well as your brother whom he's turned into a mouse...actually, a very cute little mouse that helps you get things that are out of reach. The conductor was a nutter but in the end everything worked out right and the children were reunited with their families.

The beauty of this game is in its simplicity. You find the correct ingredients through process of elimination with the clues you're given. Once you've completed a board, your earned ingredients allow you to unlock potions.
I've been looking for games similar to this since playing Inspector Parker about 15 years ago. I'm not a fan of lots of dialogue, so for me this was an improvement. I also enjoy that you have unlimited hints and time to complete the boards, so I found it to be more relaxing.
I recommend this game!

Like the first two games in the MCF series, this is an old school hidden object game of collecting items in rooms with a limited amount of time and hints. I enjoyed this one more than the first two, though. The amount of time was plentiful and I was better able to find objects in this one. Since you keep repeating the same rooms over and over, you eventually learn where things are.
I really enjoyed the crazy puzzles on the locked doors. I had to get help with a couple of them online but with most I was able to figure them out. Then at the end of each chapter you get to piece together the diary of what happened to poor Emma Ravenhearst.

Your daughter has been kidnapped by the devil and you must capture 7 demons to save her. This is an older game, so it doesn't have a map, but I enjoyed it much the same. In order to satisfy the contract, you must capture 7 little demons (some are kind of cute) that represent 7 different sins and put them in a small container. For every demon you capture, you will enter a different mirror and they will leave you with a piece of the clue to get your daughter back.
This game was loads of fun for me. I'm a big fan of entering worlds through mirrors and you also get to move around in time, which I also love. The hidden objects scenes weren't too difficult and many of them were matching two similar objects. This game was nice and long but you'll have no problem getting through it with occasional help from the skip or hint button.
Try it...I think you'll like it!

A high school student has been murdered and Nancy goes undercover to find the culprit! For Nancy Drew's 80th anniversary, they decided to remaster the first game in the series and this is the result. It was one of the shorter ones, but I enjoyed it for the most part. You will do A LOT of talking to people, as any good detective would. Ned will help you a bit over the phone but if you're anything like me, you'll have to use a walk-through and possibly a YouTube video in order to complete it.
The royal couple's honeymoon turns sour when an evil lord enters the picture, and now it's up to you to rescue them (or laugh trying)!

I really enjoyed the first game in this series and the sequel even more so. Our favorite royal couple, Nathaniel and Loreen, are in trouble again and they have to work apart/together in order to get out of the fix they're in. There were fun puzzles along the way, humorous dialogue and my favorite part was collecting the lions to add to the family crest. Some of them were hard to find but online walkthroughs are available. I really hope to see a 3rd installment one day with the royal baby!
I recommend this game!

This one was pretty much like the first (Huntsville). Very hard to see objects, limited time and only 4 hints spread across multiple locations. I was thrilled that I managed to make it through at least a half a dozen suspects (there are 22) but I eventually grew weary of the time constraints and squinting at the screen.
The puzzles at the end are lots of fun though, so if you have great vision and unlimited patience, maybe try it out!

Loved this game!
Some sicko has kidnapped your family and you have to unlock a door with 11 keys attached to 11 bodies of people that committed 11 sins. It's macabre but OH so much fun!!!
I really like creepy games like this (and adding a warning only makes me want to play it more). It was nice and long and has numerous locations...lots of great puzzles, too. My favorite feature was the apps on your phone that detect ghosts. I use those in real life!
Fair warning, though. The stories behind all the departed souls are pretty dark so if you're the sensitive sort, best to skip it. For those of you that love horror movies like I do, you'll love it!
I recommend this game!

The Tree of Life is dying and only a brave archaeologist can save it from a manipulative queen who destroyed her own son in the pursuit of power!
This game was nice and long and full of puzzles. A few I had to skip but most of them were fun and easy. The life-like actors in the game were a bit unsettling but thankfully there wasn't much dialogue. Throughout the game, you kept finding pieces of the story which I found to be rather interesting. I also enjoyed that the HOP's all ended with riddles. The only beef I had with the game was that there's no map jumping which is a bit annoying in a game that has so many locations. If you can't remember where to go, it's best to keep hitting the hint button until you find your way there.
I recommend this game!
