Catherine, with the help of his teacher, need to remove the "illusions" that modify the appearance of the Magic Academy.
New kind of HO: instead of search for things at specific locations, you have to find pieces of some objects throughout the game.
The objects that you complete, after finding all pieces, are required to remove illusions and be able to continue forward, because each location has two ways to be seen: changing day to night; making magic potions or collecting magic sand to leave items visible - invisible, etc., and a few times change is necessary to be able to see and collect everything.
Good graphics, no voice over, boring sound, good challenge.
A tip: on the right top of the screen, has a small button to skip the long explanations of the tutorial. I was glad when I saw !

Christine, -prettier and more charming than in previous- needs help to save Viggo, who was kidnapped by a mysterious masked man. Very good storyline that leaves you wanting to know what will happen to the lovers. The graphics are extremely well made, and the voice over is excellent, especially the voice of the masked man, which is ironic and macabre. Don't skip to not lose something special ! Really worth !! Superior atmosphere with immersive sound ! Many outstanding locations, with many things to do, like find and keep utilities required to go ahead. Several interactive HOS with good level of challenging, and many puzzles - more challenging than HOS, and different from usual. You can choose from three difficulty levels. As in the others NM, you have a journal which contains map, tasks, clues and, one more time, place to store and listen to the tapes that you must find. I will definitely buy !!

A really fun, relaxing and well done family game.
- Good storyline. - Really cute plush puppets are the protagonists (no voice over). - Great graphics. - Nice sound. - Many interactive HOS, with good level of challenge. Besides finding objects, you have to use them (like glue a piggy bank that you broke, find the coins and put in it). - HOS-themed (food, camping articles, etc..) - Mini games different from the usual - good challenge.
Very good entertainment to play together with your children

The story in the introduction already shows that it is a game for children. Graphics are well done and cute. Voice over is pleasant. BUT... Long... long... long dialogues between child and grandmother about a missing girl. And no skip button (but If you click go faster). The chapters are very short and each scene has only one or two things to do, like find only one object and play 1 mini game. Done! The chapter is over! The same happens in the mini games ... silly and easy. Between the chapters, long dialogues again. Could not play more than 15 mnutos. Too boring.
Recommend for children.

The cutscene in the beginning is cute and interesting. The drawings are well done, animation is very good, and music is really great!
1st chapter: Plane Crash: the protagonist, along with a little monkey (with a pirate eye patch), begins the adventure. Some scenes are funny and it has ironic and amusing comments. - Several pieces of a puzzle to find - most often by digging. - Many HOS - interactive and good challenging ! - Many places to go, lots to do ... you go back and forth, gathering material (most often using machete) to help overcome obstacles. - Don't forget to collect golden coins to unlock reward!
2nd Chapter: Surprise....!!?? No !!! Is almost the same ! - to dig pieces for another very similar puzzle - use a machete to get what you need - HOS - very similar scenes too. and...keep collecting coins .... Even the scenario is similar ! So...I had enough ! But, recommend it because of the 1st chapter.

The story repeats many others already seen - find out what happened to someone! In this game, the grandfather (after a weird phone call from him) of the protagonist. The return to the past the storyline makes it a little more interesting. Many HOGs (pretty easy), and the scenes are repeated again and again. Mini games are more enjoyable...maybe the best part of the game. Elaborate atmosphere and good sound. The setting is well done, although the graphics are often a little weak. Hint fills very fast (only 1 level of difficulty).
Even though not provoke MUCH curiosity and interest, is still a relaxing and entertaining game.
I bought, but could have just played the demo. It would be enough!

A trip back in time leads to search a way to help a writer to come back to his time, because his time machine has broken. A game that brings something new, fun and different: instead of finding hidden objects, the challenge is to place objects in scenes, in the right place.. The bad part is that the scenes in which objects should be placed repeated a lot, although the objects and their places are different. In each chapter, when you complete what has to be done, you get chips (concerning one or more subjects, such as "profession") that will be place next to a picture. When the frame is complete, the location change. Graphics are clear and well done and sound is really pleasant.
The game itself is not a big challenge, but it is very relaxing and entertaining!

The game starts with a very well drawn comics. The story takes place in Ancient Rome. A game with several HOS, where you earn money (and find coins) to buy things, helping Marcus get the love of the emperor's daughter.
- Too many dialogues in the game, (is possible to skip# . - No penalty for not stop clicking at HOS - Not big challenging, but really enjoyable
For those who play on notebook:
- Some objects are very tiny, and sometimes exactly in the same colour of the background. Coins too... some are too much hidden #just a small part appears). Almost impossible to see!!

Very cute and fun! Besides the very good halloween drawings, there are other activities within the match3 as save enough money to buy "weapons" wich help in the game, or to buy halloween decorations for the house. Challenge increases as you progress. ..but the best of everything is the background music! You get in the mood!!
