All-in-One Mahjong is an exciting game where the challenge is to eliminate all pieces from the board.

Mahjong is my game, I love it in all forms. I think I own about all the Mahjong games Big Fish has. When I saw this was called All-In-One Mahjong I had all these visions of infinite layouts and different varieties of game-play. Instead I find this game to be a very primitive basic Mahjong game.Weirdly the tiles kind of glare at you, making it hard on your eyes and giving you a headache. There is a timed mode, but it doesn't knock you out if you don't solve it in a certain amount of time, instead it keeps track of the time you take to solve the layout, I'm guessing so you can try to beat your time the next time through. It also doesn't automatically give you the next layout or even have them in an easy to see format. Instead, the layouts are in two rows of 21 and you have to scroll to find the layout you wish because only two rows of four, I think it was, show at a time. This means that a lot of the time when trying to scroll to a layout you want, you will accidentally click one you don't. Then the layout you don't want comes up, so you have to get out of that one and go back into the game to find the one you want. The game is also very limited as there are only 42 layouts. I found the backgrounds and the tile-sets to be mediocre at best. Yet, there is a second one in this series so I shall play it next and hope for improvement. I can't resist a mahjong game. If you are deciding whether or not you want to buy this and you aren't a Mahjong fanatic like me, look elsewhere. Big Fish has many many many Mahjong games that are far better and much more fun than this one.
I don't recommend this game.

I don't understand why anyone would like this game! It is all the puzzles that you hate in a HOPA thrown together in one, with no story-line and no hidden objects - just the puzzles you hate...one... after another..after another...after another...after another....after another... with no rhyme or reason for completing a task . Woohoo let's go have fun! (NOT!) The train was nauseating and I am done. Wish you luck (haha) especially if this is your idea of fun!
I don't recommend this game.
A new and unforgettable time management adventure that has you visiting the Louvre, ancient Egypt and even Atlantis!

I have played through all four of the Alicia Quartermain games and had a great time doing so (got all my work done in record time as well to have more play time:). I do wish there were more! But alas! Since there isn't and since I have saved the world from catastrophe perhaps it is time to take a break, relax and play some Mahjong. Warning: If you try this game you will have a difficult time stopping! There is one problem with this 4th game though, somehow even though you complete the game you end up one star short of being able to finish Da Vinci's workshop.
I recommend this game!

If you think this will help your eyes track, you are wrong! If you think this will help your mind make you more balanced you are wrong. If you do this game and then spend the rest of the day feeling nauseous, don't say you weren't forewarned! I wish people would consider people with disabilities when making these games.
I don't recommend this game.

Until I beta tested this game. It was so horrid that I actually made a note in my game notebook to never just buy a Living Legends series game (as I had previously always done) without doing the trial first. I find it difficult to believe it got such positive reviews from other beta testers....
I don't recommend this game.

This game is a lot of fun and quite addicting...I was disappointed that this one only had 40 levels when I could have sworn the other two had 50. But the workers and the dog, the stone monsters...Oh wait!!! There is a fourth???? Oh, I must run! Ta-ta for now!
I recommend this game!

Here I am again, rushing through chores and work to be done in order to play this addicting game! I played through Secrets of the Lost Treasure the same way, it is very difficult to stop playing these games! I love how the little guys cheer you on each level. So fun! Try it, but it should come with a warning label: You may find yourself lost in exploring and forget about real life. A great escape. Let's see what's next, I am glad there are two more!
I recommend this game!

I thought this game was great fun! While the story could have been better, at least it made sense. The directions were easily understandable. Your goals were clear and with a bit of thought attainable. I usually don't like the 'dashes' type games and find them frustrating. It took me several years before I could get through Amelie's Cafe:Halloween without wanting to pull out what's left of my hair! This type of time management game is great! I found I had a difficult time quitting! I would hurry through my chores with getting back to playing this being the incentive to finish them. Needless to say my chores were done in record time! I really think all would have a great time playing this. I like how you could see the entire layout you were playing instead of having to scroll around as if you were on a mobile phone, only being able to see a quarter of your screen at a time as some games like this are. Being able to see the whole layout makes it easier to plan what to do to get through each level. The only thing I didn't like is how it would tell you things between screens but most of the time that went so fast I couldn't read it! Now I have to go...I just have to play Alicia Quartermain & the Stone of Fate;)
I recommend this game!
Expect the unexpected as this unusual plot twists and turns its way through the seemingly sleepy lakeside location.

I thought this game would be a good murder mystery. Then the story-line soon devolved into nonsense. The main character is quite snarky and I get enough of that rudeness in real life. The worst was that there were no hidden object scenes, just lots of "mini-games" with a nonsensical story-line to attempt to tie them together. The mini games were all puzzles of the mechanical type and I hate them, I find a lot of them frustrating and so I found myself longing for a hidden object choice, like some games will let you choose between hidden object or match 3 etc. Puzzle or hidden object would have been great for I play games to relax and hidden objects are fun and relaxing while puzzles of this type take too much brain power for me to find them fun or relaxing. However, I was able to solve several puzzles and that shows you how simplistically this game is thrown together. Most of the time I just hit skip A LOT! After a time the story-line was all over the place so I hit hint A LOT! Therefore I think this should be classified as a hint and skip game - certainly not a hidden object one!

I am not quite sure what to make of this game. It began as a mystery, I love mysteries! Then it morphed into science fiction, science fiction and I do not mix. However, it had great hidden object scenes and the puzzles were fun. It is a nice long game with many hidden object scenes and many puzzles. There is a lot of moving about and I have no sense of direction in life or in games so I quickly got lost and was ever so glad for the map. This is one of 'those' where you go through several scenes and complete several tasks and then end up having to backtrack. The map had I think 6-8 scenes on it per page and was four pages long I believe. I quickly forgot at scene nine what I was suppose to do with the thing I was looking for that ended up an activity back at scene three! Even at the end when you play the extra chapter there are times when it sends you back to the first board of scenes if not the very first scene itself. Like I said, by then the incoherent storyline was lost on me and I just clicked the map where it said I had an activity and enjoyed the hidden object scene or puzzle or whatever I was to do there. If I hadn't clicked on the extras I would not have known there was a 'secret room' I could access, so I'm saying so others will know. At it end it congratulates me and says I can access the x-files now, and I was like "what now we go paranormal? Alright!!!" but unfortunately I could find no more to do so I guess that was an attempt at humor. A very strange, but fun game for I had a good time just following the map even though I was totally at a loss about the game and the story and whether or not I had actually finished it. At least it was many nights entertainment instead of just a few hours as they have been of late. I think you might find this game fun.....strange....but fun.
I recommend this game!
