This is a great mosaic game. Something different from the "penguin" series.
I wish that the blank squares were a little darker though so it's easier to determine the difference.
The storyline is somewhat irrelevant but gives the game some interest. But overall it's enjoyable and very challenging.
I recommend this game!

Finally a story line that doesn't take you to remote places in times gone by to rescue your family's fate and restore their destiny from doom and gloom.
Sure, this is a far fetched story too but the game play is enjoyable although I found some puzzles hard and somewhat illogical. Not too much going back and forth which is what I personally prefer.
I rarely had to use the hint button and the search scenes were just challenging enough and no itsy-bitsy objects to find.
The music was quite good too as were the graphics.
Possibly not for everyone as it's pretty obvious what the hard core BFG community want. I'll probably replay this and dig up the other two Cadenza games from the archives one day.
I recommend this game!

I've been waiting and waiting for this to come out and purchased it outright without the demo first because I knew it would be great.
Not disappointed at all. It is somewhat harder than the first two which is a good thing.
Everything good has already been said about this game and I agree!
One very minor neg is that some scenes are just a little grainy while others are very clear. Makes it harder to find the trash items, especially the bottles and tin cans but I guess that adds to the challenge.
An improvement on the jigsaw puzzle at the end that was difficult but "do-able". Not as hard as previous ones.
Well done... again... Casual Arts. I think your games are excellent for those like me who love HO games, puzzles and jigsaw puzzles.
Waiting now for Halloween 3 around October? Hope so!
I recommend this game!

This is a top game! If you love brick buster games then this is the one to buy. I like to have a variety of games on hand and this ones the best I've played in the brick busting genre. It's not just hitting aimless objects - rewards and upgrades are dropped to make play more intense but also you need to avoid objects that obstruct game play too which make it a little more interesting.
I like that any level of challenge can be selected - Kids, Easy, Medium, Hard and Insane. So it's suitable for all the family.
I didn't think much of it at first but it didn't take all that long to catch on. Now I'm addicted and it's a great go-to game when I feel like playing some different.
I recommend this game!

This game had potential but I couldn't understand the clues!! I really like hidden object games and I'm not too bad at crossword puzzles either.
I could barely get past level 5 (when time ran out) and I understood only a few of the clues. Even when I guessed the answer, I still hadn't heard of the saying. Maybe because I'm Australian and these sayings are from other parts of the world? America, maybe? Some cryptic clues were okay.
Even though the graphics weren't very clear, I found the object required fairly quickly once I knew what to look for so that wasn't really an issue. I would have bought this game if the clues were a more straight-forward and easier to understand.
I guess I have to recommend this game but it's really not for me. Pity.
I recommend this game!

I'm a true fan of griddle games but this one frustrated and irritated me - hence no fun. I like to achieve each game without using any hints if possible. The challenge of the colours and different shapes was great but having to find 2 squares in a line of 20 both vertically or horizontally without any backup or logic is ridiculously impossible. This is one game I won't be buying. Sorry devs - you tried something different but it may not be the go for all griddle fans.
I think the Penguin still rules.
I don't recommend this game.

I love this series of games and have also been eagerly awaiting for this new release. Bought it outright as soon as I saw it! This game makes me feel cheerful and happy which is what it's all about.
It's the same concept as CW5 but better and more achievements to find. I like it that you can play each scene over again until all objects have been found and accomplished every scene to perfection. I also like that there are no penalties for too many clicks.
Great Christmas HO game and a credit to Casual Arts Developers and Big Fish too.

I love this game. Very relaxing, bright and cheerful with a cute story line that flows. Background music is easy to listen to and although somewhat repetitive, it's by no means annoying. Loving the piano playing. No real challenge with the mini-puzzles but playable. I like it that the hidden objects are placed strategically where it "makes sense", like you wouldn't find a security camera tucked on the floor in a shoe or a coffee pot in a tree, etc. But they're still challenging to locate.
My only neg is that, although I have played this a few times over, I've had to skip the last jigsaw puzzle. Once was enough.
I do own and play a number of Vacation Adventures... bring on more please!!

I've been looking for an alternative game like this and so glad that I found it. Not sure if it's an Adventure, Marble Popper or Arcade game but it's just fun! Once you advance to the higher levels, it's not easy and takes a lot of perseverance but advancing to each level is so satisfying.
It gets harder and harder and more challenging. You're dealing with lots of obstacles, sometimes at the same time, so lightning reflexes are needed. And you're against the clock too which to me was the most frustrating.
Overall, it's a great game!
I recommend this game!

I really didn't enjoy this one as much as Clutter's II and III. The new mini games were very challenging but some not "fun" to play. The jigsaw thing between games seemed a little pointless (though I did like the thought-provoking anecdote that was revealed). Some mini-games I didn't even really understand, ie the word games Cryptograms and Boxed Quotes.
This was the only reason I gave it 4 out of 5 stars. If I am in the mood to replay Clutter - I'll probably go back to the older versions. I really do enjoy the basic Extreme Clutter games.
Guess it seems like I'm really canning this game but I really do like this type of game play and have no regrets buying it.
I recommend this game!
