This could have been a decent hidden object except for:
There is no full screen
List of items is very hard to read
Puzzle is very dark
Annoying background noise
I was looking for a good hidden object that you can actually find the objects and not poor blurry location pictures

We waited a very long time for Season Two and I couldn't wait to play it all the way thru. I did enjoy it, but was disappointed as it isn't as exciting or challenging as Season One. Even tho it doesn't have the option for No Tutorial, it will allow you to turn off the pop up hints, but wish it had no forced tutorial in the first few rounds but definitely it's not as bad as Season One in it's hand holding. I hope they continue the series and not take as long for the next one to make it's appearance.
I recommend this game!

I'm shocked, I so dislike the mosaic games, but it was 3 AM and needed to do something to put me to sleep, so thought I'd just do the demo. I don't really consider this mosaics, my interest is in the sudoku aspect of the game. Well, needless to say, it didn't put me to sleep and I bought as soon as demo expired, then continued to play all day with no sleep. It is difficult and you really need to use your logic and analytical part of the brain, but it's relaxing, no stress, unless you run into a puzzle that you've failed on 10 times and there's no way to skip, so you just keep trying. I'm now on level 97, finished building castles a long time ago but keep going forward, and the puzzles are pretty darn difficult here, so will probably start over. Really people, give this a try, you may be surprised like I was....I never give 5 Stars, so this has to be not the norm and lots of fun
I recommend this game!

I played the demo for 15 mins and was so bored, I uninstalled it. These type TM games have come far and we expect a whole lot better than this game has to offer. The graphics, game play, and characters are all so old that I can't believe this game was offered. I'll wait for games more like Kingdom Chronicles and Beyond the Kingdom that don't insult our intelligence.
I don't recommend this game.

I've played one just like this years ago but don't know where it went. Yes, this is a Match 3, but it's much more than that....it's also an adventure. I love these games that have something else going on so the game doesn't become boring with repetition. I couldn't wait to push the buy button
I recommend this game!

I've been waiting for another time management game like this for a long time, and pretty happy with the one offered. I have played I & II many times, just got thru with therm again a few days ago, so they are still fresh in my mind. Version III, based on demo, doesn't seem to be as fun as II, but maybe a little better then I, there are some different game play items, such as portals, and a new female character. One thing I wish they would add to all 3 of these versions, is the settings include a tutorial off option, it's tiring to have to turn it off in most of the early screens. I don't see the need to have a strategy guide so I'll wait for the SE to come out
I recommend this game!

I really enjoyed the demo and will think about it later. The graphics were beautiful, the ambiance was nicely done, story was not dull, and the puzzles weren't terribly difficult; hard puzzles are why I don't purchase these games anymore.
I recommend this game!

I don't understand why BF would waste a day's game on something like this one, it definitely is from the dark ages. There really is no story, players just run back and forth up the Roads of Rome collecting resources, nothing exciting here. You can choose up to 3 tasks, but resources are at such small quantities that you go to and fro just to get enough to do a new task. You use 3 players, use speed bonus, and don't understand why bother as you don't get ahead since you select 3 tasks, you have 3 players, and I always found myself not only waiting to collect resources, but you also have to wail for a task opening. I love time management games but this one is a total disappointment, looking for one I can actually add to my collection that will have a story, challenges, and be fun to play
I don't recommend this game.

I love these games, BF doesn't offer enough good ones. Since I really enjoyed the Viking Brothers series, I took a chance on this one for the Sisters. Game play is a lot like the Brother version, but the graphics are several levels lower in quality, which is a disappointment. I did purchase this one, even though it won' be one of my go-to games, it will work for the occasional time of boredom.
I recommend this game!

This game was beautifully done, but the story is one of the reasons I no longer purchase this genre of games, they are dark and boring. Another reason I no longer purchase is that these started out being more HOP with fun stories, now they are no more the search fun of before but more into these difficult boring puzzles with dark uninteresting stories, and not why I once enjoyed these games. I took a chance that this one might be more of the older version, but it's not so I uninstalled after about 20 minutes. Not too many games on here for me anymore and I wonder why I stay a member after joining May 2009 and purchasing so many games it takes 82 PDF pages to print out my purchases
I don't recommend this game.
