Like others have said before me, it's a big variety of minigames. They all seem to be related to the American Independence Day, and some other American facts.
I liked the games I was able to play in the demo. Even as an American, the quotes and the crosswords had me hitting the hint button often. Nor often enough to be frustrating, but I wasn't able to complete the game without using a few hints. I guess what I'm saying is unless you're an American history buff, it would be difficult to complete all of these mini games without looking up the facts. Lazy that I am, I used the hint button.
It's worth trying all the games on the demo to see if you like them. I personally like the match games and there were only 4. I played them all so hopefully there will be another type of game to interest me as much as they do.
i have the CE of this game and I enjoy it. I like the graphics. I like the mini games.
Though it's similar to other games, I find it different enough to want to play it. The objects aren't too easy to find, and I occasionally have to use a hint. To me, that's a plus. I don't want the objects to be so obscure that they are frustrating to find, either, and this game has a good balance of easy and difficult, depending on the scene.
I play without the music so I can't say anything about that.
I have read the previous reviews on both editions and I'm not finding cyberbullying or fraudulent reviews, Strange to see that in a review of a game.
There are a lot of hidden object travel games on Big Fish. I usually like to play them because I like hidden object games and I learn a little something about other places besides my own backyard.
This game however had objects just kind of thrown onto a picture of a travel site. The items were fuzzy, and easier to find with the magnifier, but still not the best quality picture.
Excuse me while I reminisce about the first "I Love" game from Tiny Little Lion...... I went to Big Fish to see what new game had been released. Hoping to find a new twist or just a reincarnation of an older game I enjoyed, I found I Love Finding Cats. Cats in different locations in every scene! How could I resist? I stayed up until I finished the game. The pull of looking for these cute cats while looking for hidden objects was irresistible. I played it a few times, and then my granddaughter found me playing. So her job was finding the cats while I found the butterflies and the hidden objects. Bonding over a computer game! How much more modern could grandparenting get?
While I love Hidden Object games, I have to admit I find the one with the dark, dreary scenes and the running around going back and forth to rooms and places I've already been to before tiring. I love the enjoyment of just finding the hidden objects. So when I found the first I Love Cats games, I was in love.
Not only were the objects fairly challenging at times, there were cats! And then there were dogs. And then pets. At the end of a long day when my brain was tired and just needed a respite from the problem-solving of the day, I could go and find cats or dogs or pets. Now I can find birds!
I can stimulate myself more looking for the elusive butterflies and if I don't find them, I can still move on to the next scene. How wonderful! I can go back and redo the scene if I want, and I'll have different hidden objects in different locations plus have the time to look around without being penalized. Or be penalized because I clicked on the wrong object.
The mini games are of the same caliber as the hidden object scenes.

This is very much like the games with puppies and cats. I enjoy the other similar games and play them over and over. It appears to be a copy of those successful games but without as many animals. I liked playing those so I enjoy this one too.
I encountered a glitch at the 23rd scene. I can't progress past it because you must finish each scene to unlock the next one. I found all the pets and all the items, but it says I only found 17 out of 18 items. No more items are listed. I tried playing the scene a few times but no luck.
I like the simple Hidden Object games. They are a nice way to relax. That being said, I thought I would try this game despite the negative reviews. Some of the members of the Big Fish community prefer involved Hidden Object games with intricate plots, beautiful graphics, and challenging side games. Not me, so I tried this game. I thought could this game really be that bad? Yes, it is. Not only is it extremely simple, it asks for items that aren't even in the line-up. I know what a strawberry looks like, and I know what the game thinks a strawberry looks like. There is no strawberry in sight on this scene of items. That's only one of the things that makes this game so undesirable. I can' bear to even list the other ones.
This game is like some of the older hidden object games. No running back and forth between scenes; objects not exactly hard to see but there's a magnifying glass; minigames between scenes. When I saw the scene with all the cats I really wanted to click on all of them! The mom and daughter talk a little too much but I click through most of it.
The only real complaint I have is the breathing of the mom and daughter. Whose arms move and down like that when they breathe? It's kind of distracting so I try to avoid looking at them as I search for the objects.
When reading the reviews of other players, it's great to see how others view the games. Even though I've been playing games on Big Fish for over 15 years, I still don't understand what HOPA means. I am assuming HOG is hidden object game.
What a pleasant surprise to find this game on Big Fish! Though I like Hidden Object games and mosaic games, at some point I need a little variety. There have been a few other games lately that fulfill my need for variety, and I really love playing them. This one looked interesting enough, so I quickly played through the free trial and couldn't buy it fast enough!
As others have explained how the game works, I won't do that here. It does seem a little simple at first, but those easy pictures help learn the basics of the game. They become more challenging as the numbers increase. Once the grid is 40 by 40, it is no longer an easy game.
Thank you to borf90 for listing other Link-a-Pix games. I'll try them.
Who knew anyone could improve on the I Love Finding Cats game? I loved playing that game for hours. Not only finding hidden objects but also the two cats per scene. My 5-year old granddaughters like to play computer games with me, but there are very few that we can play together. We found the other finding cats game, and divided it by them finding the cats and I find the hidden objects. Easier than me trying to describe each hidden object! Now they can look for all FIFTEEN cars per scene and the morphing butterflies! We are in heaven.
