Game wants to be Vacation Adventures but fails miserably.

No one can match the original for quality and entertainment value.
My chief complaint about this game is the graphics are just blurry enough to be very irritating.
I don't see the point of having a timer. This one doesn't keep you from completing the scene but it's also irritating. I do not like timers, period.
Then there is the too big string of letters. One must scroll back and forth. Not good.
Oh and awkward wording like "... leave our lives to our husbands." Huh?
This game can't hold a candle to Vacation Adventures.
I don't recommend this game.

I played the beta version and really enjoyed it. For me it's been a long dry spell since there was an HOP game I wanted to purchase. Thank you developers!
BTW some of us like fuzzy helpers.

I bought it because, as others stated, it's a straightforward murder mystery. No monsters, no royalty in distress, no paranormal tripe, no colored smoke, no evil elves, no ghosts, no spells.
I don't mind the rather dated looking figures, the less than stellar artwork, or the camera and other props. These are offset by the lack of other factors, mentioned above.
Thank you developers.
I recommend this game!

...quite literally I guess.
Considering so many negative reviews, I have to contribute my 2 cents. I thoroughly enjoyed this game! It was different, entertaining, humorous, and challenging. I highly recommend it for a delightful change from the norm.
I recommend this game!

Vacation Adventures and Park Ranger games are always fun and challenging. These games are must purchase for me.
My only complaint is that they only come out a couple of times a year. I'd like to see 4 a year. That's how much I enjoy these games.
Thanks developers for your work.
I recommend this game!

Just had to point that out. Golly, with all the available whatever language to English translations out there wouldn't you think the developers could get that right?
I bought the game. It's okay. Graphics are clear, bright, and colorful.
I don't care about storyline - it's match 3 for goodness sakes. How much can the storyline matter?
I don't listen to any game's music so don't care about that.
I prefer the match 3s that have a bigger board but this one works for when I need to take a break from work.
I recommend this game!

Nope!!! I do not play limited move match 3 games. In my opinion there is no excuse for producing them. Add to that no instructions and board being reset, because no more moves are available, after only 2 moves and this game a pass for me. I lasted 3 minutes on the demo.
I don't recommend this game.

Another irritating Solitaire game that won't allow finishing a hand. I find this very irritating and unnecessary.
Oh, and the cards are too small and cluttered in an already cluttered, if rather attractive, background.
Those 2 factors make it a no buy for me.
I don't recommend this game.

May entertain preschoolers but not me...and I'm a match 3 fan....but not a bad game fan. Pretty colors but that's about it.
Another of those games in which points, or money, or something is earned but there is nothing to do with the earnings.
The grammar is so bad as to be nearly undecipherable at times.
I don't recommend this game.
