I really enjoyed this game. The fun factor is improved cuz you can buy plants, animals, decor to decorate your garden. Its a pleasant pace with or without the timer. You can challenge yourself by leveling up the garden to 'open' a NEW garden scene. The Match 3 board is pretty w/ fun interactive flowers & objects & power ups & sound effects. This is a TOP Match 3 game in my opinion
I recommend this game!

The mosaics of the images are really stunning on some levels. I enjoy the easy / medium / difficult variations. The timer is almost impossible to beat by level 20. But there is still the 'perfect score' key AND 'completing the puzzle 100%' key. The keys open new levels and status. The theme of course is "Alice in Wonderland" and the images are relative to the story.

I don't know if its just my computer or what. But this game took a lot of time to load between tasks/quests/scenes. An impressive turning gear shows while you wait for the scene to change. I can't help but think the run-time would be quicker w/o this. I disabled the 'special pointer' option which greatly improved the speed...but it still took several seconds to zoom & prompt a scene change. This would have been acceptable. Except the other reason and MAIN reason why I gave it a 3 star/OK rating was cuz once you run outta $$ and run outta gems...you're pretty much stuck with nothing to do. I really dislike games that do this. Its not subtle and pretty much ruins the experience: unless you shell out some real dollars you can wait up to 24 hrs. - 2 days to complete a quest/task. Thats why I uninstalled it. Please play "FOUND: A Hidden Object Adventure" and you'll see the difference in the quality of the gaming experience. I DO like the graphics of "Dark Tales: " ...very impressive. Albeit, "Space Invaders" didn't make it into the Gamer's Hall of Fame cuz of its pixelated graphics.
I recommend this game!

OMG! I totally loved this game. Match 3 with missions. You acquire tokens to buy stuff at the Merchant, like power ups and boosts. You have missions to find items to bring to the Shaman who gives you items to unlock quests & mini games. This match 3 has colorful bursts and blocks that need to be brought to the bottom to finish the board and move on to the quests. Your tasks are displayed in the border. You get a map to move around to sites and back. This is a fun/but not too challenging game. In my 1hr. trial I completed 15% of the game. So, this is a 6-7 hour game. Highly addictive. I believe the Fun level allows for multiple plays (even after completion)
I recommend this game!

I've been playing this game for years. I would be playing it NOW except I have a MAC laptop currently...and FOUND: A Hidden Object Adventure is only for PC!!?? The characters in the game you trade with are absurdly funny. And they float around waiting to trade with you..the more you barter the better your trades and upgrades characters to "boss" which gives uber stuff. Many unique items from each character. Your avatar also helps you level up depending on its Skills. Any power ups, food, weapons, odd things you may need way later on in the game, so don't be too eager to trade them away. Unlock locations and NEW islands. Get diamonds and money and experience to level up. The game goes on forever. Like I said I've been playing it for years! I've only been play Harvest Moon longer. Also, developers add adorable seasonal characters, collections and challenges to keep the game fresh and exciting...they have a real sense of humor and human insight.Its the best game..AND its FREEEEE! However, only available on PC :( whaaahhh! So, I have to fire up the old desk top PC to play this game. I hope the developers build a MAC version for 10.6 using the same characters and format...everything exactly but for MAC. There is so much to do in this game. Its a HOG that you find stuff to build cool collections, achievements, power ups, quests and other twists. Wandering Willows is my fav game ever...this is my 2nd fav. If you're not a patient person, buy some diamonds...but you don't need to...I never have. Its almost like cheating cuz you get what you need eventually thru strategy and persistent bartering and searching the many locations. Have fun with this one while its FREE cuz I think its going to be massively fee based soon; its just too good to be FREE for much longer.
I recommend this game!
