Fun but very challenging TM game. Would have liked an option of challenge levels, as this game becomes a bit hard very quickly. Enjoyed the graphics and music. Try it before you commit to it.

This is a fun little match 3 game (not sure where the HO comes in here). The levels progressively gets harder the longer you play. Enjoyed designing and decorating different clients' rooms, as well as the extra ways to collect bonuses and cash.
This game is intriguing and beautifully drawn. The story line kept me involved and wanting to move forward. I enjoyed the HOs and puzzles and both were creative and not too challenging. Not a lot of back and forth, which is my preference. I play for relaxation and enjoyment, so the difficulty and pace were perfect for me. The demo was very short, which leads me to believe the game will also be short. While this is a high quality game, I wonder if it is worth the CE price.
While I recommend this game, you must decide if it is worth the price. For me it is a pass on purchase due to its length

Very enjoyable puzzle solving game! The story line is interesting and I enjoyed Dr. Arcana's taunting along the way. Not sure why this is listed as HO as you basically go from one puzzle to another to solve and move forward. A nice challenge with some repeat puzzles but not boring. Like that you can skip some puzzles if your brain isn't quite engaged so you don't get permanently stuck.

Really enjoyed playing this game. While I love plots, complicated puzzles, and who-done-it games, sometimes just a straight forward HOP game is perfect. Enjoyed trying to find all of the interstate shields, though some are pretty well hidden. Variety of game types kept me from permanent eye strain and brain fog.

This game has such good potential. The graphics are colorful and animated. The story line is standard but interesting with the hero being pulled into the oldest book in his library to save the day. Liked the different variations of game play, which kept me interested and on my toes. Only concern is the entire game was slow and jerky in functioning. If developers can smooth this away, will be an excellent game and I will be able to recommend it.

I love TM games, but I could not even complete the first 5 levels. The characters were very slow and jerky in movements. Had to click on either the character bubble or kitchen area several times before the waitress responded. The response was also dragging, so after the click, 1-2 seconds passed before there was a response. This game has such fun and cute potential that I hated not finishing the demo and potentially buying it. Hopefully the developers can fix this game and re-release.

Nice, fast paced game that can be deceptively challenging as you progress. Cute graphics geared to younger players and a nice change from the dark and more mature games.

Santa and his elves are working round the clock getting ready for Christmas. I love this series and #7 did not disappoint. The graphics are beautifully drawn and the colors are bright and crisp. The challenge level is not too hard so almost all ages can enjoy looking for the hidden objects. As usual, there are extra things to find, this time they are the hidden golden Christmas trees and the silhouette objects. Will enjoy this game again and again.
