I really like this game, but I am wondering if anyone else is having an issue on the game where you 'drag' at least 3 adjacent tiles. Up to now, I enjoyed playing the game, but at this point, I am stuck. The screen 'freezes' when the explanations come up. I cannot get past this and have to turn my laptop off. Is anyone else having this problem or does anyone know how to move past this? Other than that, I do love playing this game, but it appears I cannot move forward. Any comments are appreciated.
I recommend this game!

I love these games and could not believe that there was a new one! This is strictly a hidden object game with a few easy, but interesting puzzles also included. These games are well detailed and have great graphics. They are great for the entire family. This new one is just as good as all of the others; I'm so happy this has been added to Big Fish games. I think everyone will enjoy it.
I recommend this game!

This series is my favorite and I wish they gave us these games more often! They are fun for kids and adults alike. They have great graphics, the music is good, the mini games are fun and that adds up to one terrific game. The Big City Adventure games are so different from the many dark, mysterious HOGs that when one is available I play it all the time. You really can't ask for a more perfect casual game and this one is just as good as all of the Big City Adventures games that are available. If anyone is listening at Big Fish, please get these more often!
I recommend this game!

I really love Causal Arts games! The style and graphics are bright and easy on the eyes. The puzzles are fairly easy for the most part and each scene has many objects to find. I'm always excited to see their games and love that they also have Christmas, Easter, and so many more. You will not be disappointed in this game if you love bright, fun and 'happy' games. Great music, graphics and more. I've already played through twice and will play it every day up to Halloween (and probably after, too).
I recommend this game!

I purchased this game before reading the reviews because I already owned the first Family Vacation. I really liked the first one and since Vacation 2 was only $2.99, I thought why not? But this game seems to be way too involved for me. I am very much into regular HOGS (no inventory or dark themes) and assumed this would be much like the first. This game is pretty much like the first, but appears to have some problems while playing. The graphics are OK, but I have ran into some glitches that did not appear in the first game. I hate the 'games' at the end of the chapters and the way you cannot just immediately skip them. I will finish this even though I am not impressed at all; especially compared to the the first game. What happened when they decided to go forward with a sequel? I would not buy this before reading the reviews or doing the trial first.
I don't recommend this game.

I really love the games from this designer. They are simple, relaxing HOGs; no inventory and not much thinking. I do not purchase most of the HOGS simple because they are so dark and the inventory is frustrating, at least for me. I like to just sit and play the more casual games and this game designer does not disappoint. My grandsons also love playing these so these games are often played. Plus, all of the scenes are beautiful and bright, and the music is pleasant.
I recommend this game!

I really love this game I like the type of game where you do not have an inventory or have to think very hard about what goes where. Most of the HOGs this website has had lately have been too involved so I cannot even just relax and play. The mini games in Park Ranger 3 are very good for the most part. These HOGs are usually pretty easy for my grandchildren, so we can even play together. Thank you for another basic game. Please bring on more.
I recommend this game!

As most other reviews have said, this is a very good family game. I look forward to all of the Casual Arts game and this one is not a disappointment. A couple of reviewers seem to not appreciate this game, but as I stated, this is truly a family game. If you are tired of the dark mystery games with an inventory and don't want to work so hard to have fun, you will enjoy this one The graphics are great and it makes me happy when I can find a game so bright and fun. I think most kids will really appreciate this game especially at this time of year. If you're looking for fun and festive, this is a great pick.
I recommend this game!

I just played the trial version and was overall pleased with the game. It definitely is geared more to the younger HOG players, but I found it to be fun. I really like the more lighthearted games and wish there were more available. The dark games seem to be pretty much the same and I hate any games with an Inventory, so this game and any similar ones are more to my liking. I probably will not buy this unless I can't find any better although I know my grandkids would appreciate this game.
I recommend this game!
