Very fun game...not terribly challenging (which at times is a good thing, right?). My biggest disappointment with it is that once you complete the living room, you're done. I was hoping it would give me the chance to decorate more of a house!
I recommend this game!

I have been a big fan of the Viking Brothers game series. Was really excited when I saw this one came out in standard version (these games are too "simple" to pay collector's edition price).
As some other reviews have mentioned, I feel the levels were extremely easy to play......until level 38!
I have played this level at least fifty times and can't even come close to beating it. Am I the only one having this issue? And, of course, there's no walkt-hrough or forum discussion on it.
I recommend this game!

MCF was one of my first "favorite game series". The first couple of games (Huntsville & Prime Suspects) truly got me addicted!
Madame Fate got my (then teenaged) son & one of his friends addicted!!!
Unfortunately the last six MCF games I bought, and I think it's the last three I didn't even bother buying, because they've just gotten so ridiculously difficult (for me, anyway). I hate it when I literally have to use hint after hint just to navigate the game!!!
As I'm writing this, I have only played the trial, but I'm LOVING this game!!! It's FUN!!! The side puzzles are challenging, but when I have come across one I just couldn't get, the "Help" phone is there!!! I'm also going to post about this game on my facebook, cause I know several of my friends will enjoy it as well!!! Thank you for getting back to FUN games, not just hard (or spooky-evil)!!!
I recommend this game!

I've been a member since 2007. Bought Wedding Salon in May of 2016. I play through the game (to get all levels "expert") two or three times, then uninstall. After a couple of months I re-install it and play through it multiple times. As you can figure, I have LOTS of games to choose from. One of the things I love about this game is that while the challenges are pre-ordained, the player is able to choose what salon features to use...so it's like almost like a new game each time you play through it! I am physically disabled, and use playing games to distract myself from the chronic pain. BigFish is AWESOME! Wedding Salon and Wedding Salon 2 are among my favorite games!
I recommend this game!

This is one of the most FUN games I've ever played! I've had this game since Feb of 2017. Even though I have literally dozens of games (been a member since 2007!), I've installed and played through this game over a dozen times! Great fun. Great time management challenges. And you get to choose which salon features to use.
I recommend this game!

I'm really enjoying this game! Often, the "time management" games are either way too easy or way too challenging. This one seems to be a good mix...and, there are several difficulty options you can choose, so you're the one who decides how much of a challenge the game will be!
I recommend this game!

I've bought and loved all the games in this series! This new Monument Builders is GREAT! Very similar to the previous games (as far as game play and such. I LOVE that they've added the ability to "automatically transport" materials!!!!!! The only down side, and it's not a HUGE problem, is when you collect materials from the roads, it appears that you have to click on the icon as it floats toward the top of the screen. Now, I've noticed it doesn't just leave you hanging if you miss it, but it's a bit of a distraction from the game play. Again, not a huge problem, just a slight annoyance. Overall, still a VERY fun game, and like the previous games in the series, it has some educational value as well.
I recommend this game!

I was hesitant when I saw this game, because the last couple of MCF games I've purchased were too difficult. Was VERY pleased to see that I could set my skill level in this one, and have plenty of hints and even "skip" puzzles that I just couldn't figure out. I did get the Collector's Edition, so that might have helped. But I LOVED the original Madame Fate game, and this one was super FUN too! The characters, the art style etc are as expected. My ONLY complaint is that there seemed to be much more "puzzle" than "hidden object". But, over all, it was VERY fun and I finished my first time through in a reasonable time. Thanks for creating a game that was reminiscent of the earlier MCF games!
I recommend this game!

I am enjoying this game very much! It's fun, and challenging, without being so hard I get frustrated and give up. This one is even better than Green City (the original).
I recommend this game!
