This is such a fun game.
The graphics are colorful and the game play is quite simple. It's a great game for the younger children and a relaxing game without too much stress for us older gamers :)
It's fun watching the village grow and people move in.
If you scroll to the bottom of your screen, you will see that there are many levels.
There really is some strategy involved since there are limited planting spots until you get further in the game.
You need to decide which plants you want to grow first. When that order is filled, you just click on the new seeds you want to plant and plant them over the top of the ones that you no longer need.
After you fill the orders, you get the extra money to increase your levels of experience or build to improve your village.
This game was a great Daily Deal and fun for all ages.

Just like the 1st game, this one is fantastic and has a few different twists throughout the game.
You can also play timed or not.
A relaxing game with achievements to acquire.
Fun, but highly addicting. You just don't want to quit!
Match 3 plus other mini games all in one great game.

This game is just fantastic.
It's very relaxing, although highly addictive.
The graphics are colorful and the music is great.
You have match 3 and other puzzles all in one game!
It's a great change from all the gloom & doom games.

This game was fantastic from beginning to end.
One of the few games that we played from the start to finish in one sitting.
You get caught up in the story right away and it is a truly creepy one.
There are achievements to acquire, objects to find and more that you usually have in a collector edition.
There is a lot of back & forth, but we don't mind that in a game and you had to think about where you were going to use the object you just found.
Some of the graphics were a bit --pixilated-- in some scenes, but that didn't take anything away from the fun or creepy factor in the game.
All in all, this game was great fun.

Fun & entertining game. There are game play choices of casual, normal & hard.
We played the normal version and found the games to be not too difficult and the sparkles just right.
There are some hidden object scenes that are interactive, although it was a bit annoying to have the hand icon appear and could pick up an item that was not to be used in that particular scene.
Mini games were not too difficult and were fun to play.
There is a map that shows where you are and where there is an objective. The objective book jumps out at you when you have a new one to achieve. Makes one jump when it happens. Never did really get used to it happening.
The graphics are excellent, as are the voice overs and music.
We have not completed the game, so have no comment on the length or the collector edition extra features.
So far, the game has been very entertaining.

Played 30 minutes of the game and then bought it.
There are controls for music & sound.
Game play modes of casual & expert. On expert mode, you can select if you want a tutorial or not.
We usually play demos in casual mode. The tutorial was helpful and hints refilled quickly. We did not use the strategy guide in the half hour we have played.
The hidden object scenes & mini games/puzzles encountered so far have been fairly easy.
The graphics are very good. The voice overs are a bit quirky, but ok.
You have the option of clicking on morphing "haunted soul" faces that show up. There are 40 of them. There are also many awards to acquire and the game shows the time played and scores.
The story line has been done many times & the first inventory item is the always needed crowbar :)
However, the game has achievements, good puzzles, games & hidden object scenes. To us, that is what makes a game collection worthy.

This game was great! It didn't matter how many stars you got when a picture was completed, as long as it was done, you would still advance to the next level.
The pictures turned into full color when complete.
Extra hints were obtained whenever a picture was complete.
In playing the demo, we got thru the first set of easy games in all the locations and were starting on the medium set.
Of course, we did not get 3 stars on many, but had fun trying and did use a bajillion hints on one in particular!
You can mute the music, if desired. You can also play in windowed or full screen mode and toggle back & forth.
The graphics are the best and you can download the completed pictures <from the gallery button> to your computer. That's a plus if you wanted to use them for screen saver or background.
Thought it was a grand game and you had to kick into logical mode to decide how the black shapes would go together to complete a picture.
It's a buy for us.

This is a great game!
You are searching for missing artifacts that cause strange things to happen to the people that possess them.
The story line has many mini stories as you track down these artifacts. As the demo finished, I had only collected one of the 7 artifacts and was working on the second.
Based on this, the game may have a long play time.
The graphics and sound are good.
There are many hidden object scenes and mini games. Some are easy and some a bit of a challenge.
This will be a great Daily Deal purchase for our ever growing collection of games from Big Fish.

This game is very simple and relaxing. There is the beginning story and then right in to game play.
There are no voice overs and there is reading to get the story line.
There are no instructions, but none are really needed.
You play a hidden object scene and then a mini game and/or puzzle to obtain objects that will be used in other scenes to advance in the game.
Only played the demo for a half hour. The game was a bit too relaxing. I don't want to say boring, because the hidden object scenes were fun and the puzzles were not too challenging. Just not enough action for us to consider this as a buy.
We recommend that you try the game to see if it's for you.
All in all, it's not bad if you do not want a fast paced game.
