I was so excited to see this newest installment to the My Jigsaw Adventures series! I have the others and they are in my regular game rotation. I bought this latest one sight unseen...I know I am getting a high quality game. This series is AMAZING...the jigsaws can be very challenging depending on how many pieces you choose and the story and music that accompanies each jigsaw are so well done...they pull you in and provide the perfect backdrop for each jigsaw. The artwork for each jigsaw is gorgeous...so creative and otherworldly from a very talented artist. This developer puts a lot of thought and ingenuity into each game in the series and creates a complete experience...I love the series and look forward to more!
I recommend this game!

I was SO excited to see this game offered today! I got hooked on all of this developer's games (Spellarium, Laruaville, Cursed House & Floria) over the summer and was wondering if there would be a new Spellarium. I love this series...the graphics are awesome and this is not a simple match 3 game...you really have to think about the next step, as there is so much in one puzzle and doing things out of order can often make completion of the board difficult. It's cerebral, visual, and such a great way to decompress when you need a break from Zooming or social distancing! I bought this game on the spot and am looking forward to more from this developer...just keep 'em coming!
I recommend this game!
In this latest match-3 adventure, gather up your courage and press on to the haunted mansion on the hill and rid it of evil spirits.

I was so excited to see this new installment today...I love this developer and have every one of their games! Their match-3 layouts are creative, colorful, and challenging...I often sit and look at each new layout trying to figure out the best way to solve it before I start, as there is so much going on! The mini-games are fun as well...I really like the hidden object and find-the-difference games, as they are often quite challenging. Most match-3 games are redundant, but this developer knows how to do match-3 the right way!
Experience another glorious summer at Pinecreek Hills National Park with the latest in this acclaimed hidden object adventure series!

Just the other day, I was thinking to myself as I was re-playing Park Ranger 4 that the next Vacation Adventures should be coming out soon. I was SO excited to see the 9th installment this morning and bought it without playing the demo. I love everything about this seriesI. No kidnapped people to save, no otherworldly beings trying to take over the planet...just simple hidden object fun without needing to travel back and forth between scenes with a bag of tricks to save the world. I revisit these games throughout the year when I want to take a break because they offer mini-vacations for me as I relax and just enjoy ! I am excited to see that this one is a collector's edition and will no doubt be putting it through my rotation throughout the year! Thanks for a great series, Casual Arts..keep 'em coming!
I recommend this game!
My Brother Rabbit is a beautifully drawn adventure set in a surreal world that mixes reality with a child’s imagination

I absolutely LOVED this game! The story is very poignant and the gameplay reminds me so much of the Tiny Bang Story. As a pediatric oncology nurse, I totally get the idea behind children using their imaginations to escape a serious situation...this imagination can be powerful and, at times, can help children bridge the chasm between life and death. The story touched my heart and the whimsical artwork breathed life into Rabbit's quest to heal his sister, the Flower. I think the authors and artists behind the game were very sensitive in dealing with the serious nature of the story by sharing small bits of the story as Rabbit continues on his quest to help his little sister, allowing every mini-game and hidden object hunt to serve a very specific purpose in getting Rabbit closer and closer to his goal. Artifex Mundi hit it out of the park with this one...this is a "Game of the Year" contender. If you have played the Tiny Bang Story and love it, as I do, you will really appreciate this game as well. In a recent influx of dark, ghost-monster-someone is missing-save the world games, My Brother Rabbit stands alone...Thank You Artifex Mundi!!

I am absolutely loving this latest installment of the MCFs. I replay several of the older installments quite frequently because I really enjoy the graphics, music, complexity of the mini-games and scare factor. This latest installment is definitely a blast from the past and contains everything I love. I am really enjoying catching up with 'old friends' as each new case is introduced. The only thing I wish is that the developers used real people instead of graphics, like they did in the earlier Ravenhearst and Dire Grove series. The use of actors gives a sense of authenticity to the storyline. I am SO tired of all the newer games coming out with the same theme and storyline...even the mini games are becoming mundane. I was really excited to see this and bought it immediately. I am loving this current game and will be repeat playing it often!!
I recommend this game!

I am buying this game without playing it first, as I know that it is reliably lots of fun! This series is a basic HOG with fun puzzles and is consistent with artwork, level of challenge, and basic, pure entertainment. I love what the first poster said...getting this game each year feels like returning to a favorite vacation spot and I look forward to it. I play the other installments often during the year and LOVE the series! Thanks for making my day!!

I was so excited to see this today! This is my favorite series, along with the Halloween and Christmas hidden object games. I was disappointed that they didn't come out with a Halloween game last year...am still holding out hope for one this year...but the charm to these games are that there are no gimmicks. Just straight-forward hidden object games...no funky storyline about someone being abducted, no helpers, no collections to search for...just great graphics and hidden object fun! I hope this developer continues with the good work because I look forward to new ones each year!
I recommend this game!
Acting as a private detective, resolve supernatural cases and follow the trail to your sister.

Mad Head did it again, and rather soon after the first release. This game is as good as the first one...an intense storyline that will pull you in and keep you there until the game is finished, incredible artwork, and a unique gameplay. I was hoping for a sequel and this one doesn't disappoint. And, like the first, there are no distracting collectibles, morphing objects, or cutesy helpers. Just a raw, psychological thriller adventure that delivers. Adam Wolfe is a total bada$$ and I want more of this!! Keep 'em coming, Mad Head...I LOVE this series!
I recommend this game!

I LOVED this game! It uses the typical "someone has disappeared" storyline, but this game is anything but typical. For starters, it is quite refreshing to play from a male point-of-view, as you are Adam Wolfe, searching for your sister who has gone missing. Second, it is really nice to focus on the story and what you need to do, instead of looking distractedly for morphing objects and hidden collectibles. While I enjoy the extra stuff, I feel that it would take away from this whole experience and am glad that the developers agreed and chose to leave them out. My first thought was "What...no collectibles?" But once you begin the game, you don't miss them at all. Third, the developers have approached the mini-games and hidden objects with a really creative spin on everything. I love hidden object games that utilize a story and you must find the item highlighted in the story...this game uses that really well and the mini-games are challenging enough without becoming frustrating or too easy. Finally, the storyline was intense and the warning is merited. While not particularly gory, but definitely violent, the storyline is rather dark. The artwork is rich and colorful, with a drawn quality to it...very well done! I rarely write reviews, but this game definitely warranted me writing one...I think the developers may be on to a new genre of hidden object games. I can't wait for the second installment and hope that it's released soon! Nice job, Mad Head Games!!
