First thing diamond ring that is pointed so you can so obviously know you are going cut glass, then a smoky area to use a fan on, second scene, statue and chisel to break a lock on chest, and missing amulet to unlock armor of kings guard, which has 4 missing pieces and of course when placed opens his hand, plus thing is that the swirling purple when you get the book and compass and hint icon has been replaced with gold, too bad they couldn’t just get rid of it, it feels like they are trying to impress a four year old with the swishing and colors, it got to where I stopped playing this dev.’s games after the trials, sometimes the purple swishes were so bad I would not even make it thru the trials (I am sorry if I insult those who enjoy the garish colors, to each there own) The king offers you his griffin to ride, but apparently the king took apart the riding gear and buried parts of it and what not so you have to find the parts, by the third scene you have used a can opener to pull nails, a candle stick to hammer the nails, I had 49 minutes remaining at the end of the trial. This is a game with beautiful graphics, but it is still lacking in adding any skills needed, to bad they wouldn’t take a gander at the lost lands games or something similar, or at least listen to the reviewers opinions. I won’t add anything else as others already detailed the game, I won’t be buying this game.
I don't recommend this game.

I enjoyed this enough to immediately play it through again! Like another reviewer said, it is short but I found that all the different ways and things to search for made up for it in that I could play it right away so that made up for the shortness, the story is okay, but not really noteworthy, but the hidden object scenes more than made up for it, it's a kick back and relax kinda of game. Give a try!
I recommend this game!

I really enjoyed this game , it was different from the cookie cutter games that we have been getting, it doesn't have the same old magnet, coin for screwdriver, shape after shape to open things and it had a decent story line, try out the whole demo before deciding. Thank you to the Dev's!!

Why were her badges for unlocking her wand case at riding hoods house, why were her boosts for her wand at hoods house, morphing objects like bright colored folded towels sitting in the road are not even a challenge, at one point your supposed to collect powdered sugar so when you find a small sack the dev”s added a label saying powdered sugar because you might be too dense to figure it out, mini game with big bad wolf was on easy mode, it showed his moves and left them showing so you could fight the attack, as in it didn’t show them for a short time, it left them there! That is not a mini game on easy, that is just so lame, then someone gets your wand right after you used it and has power in it to use against you, when the whole time you have used it, it has one use then needs recharged with annoying bright puff balls that you find in misc. places, along with the stuff we usually have to find to open drawers, doors, whatever, so along with the normal get this open by finding something in the right shape, you get to have a large sparkling puff ball light the middle of the screen, of which you need three each time to charge your wand, unless of course you are someone stealing the wand! I will not be buying this game; I finished the demo with 41 minutes remaining and I went to the restroom during that time. I am replaying my old games from 2016 and older so that I can at least be challenged and not be over whelmed with flashing colors instead of using my brain.
I don't recommend this game.

Great game compared to the one's that we have been getting, thank you Dev's!That being said, the bonus game was lame, get item,open something to get another item to open something else, the usual, and the morph's were not hard to find, buy it when it's a standard edition and you will be happy with the purchase but paying $13.99 for the extra play and collectables is not worth it when the bonus game didn't have any challenge and they didn't put any time into it.
I recommend this game!

This is a Adventure Game. There is no hidden object scenes. You do find objects on the ground that you use and you find stone dragons that are collector items but I only found 19 of the 20:( That being said this is an old school game and I really enjoyed it. I have been going through the adventure games on big fish alphabetically because I really dislike most of the new games so this one was quite a refreshing change, too bad the newer ones released by BFG aren't more like the older style, I know that they aren't more expensive to create because indie games make a lot them, it just seems like they think that we are a bunch of people that need a a ton of swirling purple journals and swirls of colors. Take your time and try the trial, it doesn't have the bells and whistles but it does have good mini games and you can see that someone put some love into the graphics.
I recommend this game!

This is an old adventure style game with added HOS, its made by Microids, an adventure game company who made a lot of the big adventure games for pc before the nintendo and playstations came about. It is old and a bit hard to see but it is still a lot better than the cookie cutter style games that we have been seeing and complaining about recently! Also its only $2.99 today! I say try it for yourself and plan on using the hint button!
I recommend this game!

I really enjoyed the first two games in this series and I just cannot begin to explain the total awfulness of this one. The level of challenge is set for a child, find a gargoyle eye once is okay but I have lost track of how many I have found and placed and they are'nt even different looking! there is a doctor that talks down on you and you have to help him with stupid things like opening his wine bottle with a cork screw.....you know because that it so difficult to do...the whole game is full of that type of puzzle...as in no real puzzles! Don't buy this game, it is beyond insulting to any age of intellect and you can't recomend for kids because of the dark nature of the storyline. Total waste of money and really a huge let down after the first two games:(
I don't recommend this game.

No hos, lasted about 2.5 hours WITH a walkthrough, really enjoyed this game, found a walkthrough on another game site, without it it would have taken a LOT longer, if you enjoy adventure games without sparkles and no hos then you should give this a try, I bought for the daily special price but I would have paid full price for it! It is not long like Book of Unwritten tales or that type but great anyway
I recommend this game!
