I liked the theme, nice clean graphics, a few cute surprises, fun switches, underground resource gathering. But, instead of creative challenges, this constantly required LOTS and LOTS of CONTINUING REPEATS just to obtain the resources needed. So sitting here clicking the exact same steps 50+ times to get 50 food items to clear the next path obstacle, then repeating multiple moves to get the gold for another obstacle clearance is just really boring. I just had to keep hitting 'faster resources, faster speed, more people' constantly in each level.
Unfortunately, I have found this same problem to be true with the few other Time Management games in this category.

I don't recommend this game.
In this latest match-3 adventure, gather up your courage and press on to the haunted mansion on the hill and rid it of evil spirits.

This Series is My Least Favorite of All Match 3

Match 3 games are my favorite, but there are so few good new ones that I really wanted to like the Cursed House series. They seem very similar to Spellarium and Lauraville, but these are much more tedious and labor intensive without a fun factor. The game screens are busy and unattractive and the need for constant repetition in having to repeat essentially the same movements for each new area on the board that needs clearing is just annoying. Game strategy is very confusing (especially if you haven't played the earlier versions), so I tried Casual mode. But that added so many powerups that mutate regularly that it made it more boring. But, there were so many great reviews that I will give it one more try. Maybe you just need to be more familiar with this type of game to enjoy it.
I don't recommend this game.

There are so many of this same type that I almost just skipped trying it. But they have added some cute powerups, nice graphics, and just the right challenge to complete each level so far, that I find myself looking forward to each next level.
I recommend this game!

THANK YOU, SURICATE! Your new game came just at the right time when there is so much stress about the current virus/health/lockdown situation. It's great to get so wrapped up in playing your games that I can temporarily forget about all the problems.
Your Twilight Match 3 and Solitaire series are MY TOP FAVORITE! Not only is the match 3 play challenging and fun, but the animated tiles are also cute. And, your scenes/screen savers are the ONLY ones I have ever actually used as screen savers. I look forward to each new scene with much anticipation. I especially love your Twilight Solitaire scenes.
I am so glad you and your team are still working on new games. It would be a great loss to not be able to enjoy additional ones like these. SO THANK YOU AGAIN!
I recommend this game!

Only tried a few levels, but LOVE IT SO FAR! Besides the great simple but cute and clean card faces, the additions to this one up/one down are very appealing.

A Very Poor Comparison to Dream Builder-Amusement Park

Even if you do not compare this to Dream Builder-Amusement Park (one of my top 2 all-time favorite Big Fish games), the very basic graphics, constant need for more workers, or they demand raises (and quit if you don’t agree), or people get sick, etc. Even worse, they have very minimal room to place the attractions, so there ends up with NO ROOM TO ADD MORE so cannot reach the money goal needed. That, plus just have to keep repeating the same processes over and over for EACH FAIR, quickly turned out to be more boring and annoying to continue.
I don't recommend this game.

I am addicted to this game. But, because it is a Free to Play game (meaning you need to pay real money if you run out of lives or powerups), I only play one or two levels a day. That way you can accumulate daily previously won bonus places that award collectable items (like books, vials, spheres, etc.) AND GOLD. Some levels are very challenging, but a few of the hardest levels have tips available in the Forum. So far I am up to Level 198 without having to pay any actual cash. But I have enjoyed so many hours that I plan on buying some 'extras' after I reach all the main world goals as a 'Thank you' to the developers. Then I will go back to the beginning and finish all the side quests and portals. SUCH FUN!
I recommend this game!

This is a great way to recapture your childhood. I loved Amusement Parks as a kid and this game is terrific at recreating the feeling. 4 worlds with LOTS of GREAT ANIMATED GRAPHICS that recapture the concession stands, rides, attractions, etc. I look forward to playing each day and only allow myself to Gain one Challenge before I stop.... but this is so addicting that sometimes I cheat my schedule and go back to do a few more. I will most likely play it all over again after I finish all 4 areas... but that will take a quite a while, so I get to smile and enjoy it every day. (My other favorite is Free the Witch)
I recommend this game!

Opening Screens so busy I had no idea how to even get to the OPTIONS to tune DOWN the annoying music and STOP the annoying scrolling at the bottom. I gave up after several minutes. Reading how you 'rate your favs' even made it worse as all they said was ?can rate? 6 different colors.
But I've only played one other early game of this Clutter series long enough to be comfortable with that one, so perhaps if you've been playing all the earlier versions all along, those may explain how to get to the above areas.
I was able to get and complete the first 2 standard 'Clutter' screens, so perhaps I just need to start clicking on every area to see what that one does. But I just shouldn't have to do that.

I get to only Level 6-8. In EACH of 1, 2, 3, After 20+ minutes, I have cleared everything EXCEPT ONE SET (in #3 crystals). NO more available and NO chance to even back up to a point where I can collect them. The only way to continue is to 1) Read the EXTENSIVE, EXACT STEPS at EXACT TIMING in the Strategy Guide, THEN go back and forth as you follow a few of those steps. THAT is NOT FUN! Would be really helpful if the developer at least allowed going back to a few different stages, instead of forcing us to either stop playing or waste double the time to be able to continue.
