New Yankee is back at number 13. Mary has banged her head and gone to the dark side. It is very different than the last few games which I think is good. Mary is leaving purple puddles everywhere and building dark towers which we have to try and sort out. The spellbook is doing the tasks that Mary normally does and I think it takes a bit longer and makes a weird noise but at least its something different. I coudnt get the handle of level 13 for a while, keeps you on your toes! Would have made a perfect halloween game with the pumpkins and vampires etc.
I recommend this game!

I love the new yankee games and was so pleased when I went onto the home page to see the 12th game in the series.
It has an indian theme and has new features such as snakes, a rhino, tigers. I only got to level 13 on the demo so have now bought it. All the main characters are still there.
I only got into strategy games this year as there have been so few good hidden object games and this series is my favorite.
Other reviewers will go into much more detail than me so I will leave it to them and thankyou Joybelle for all your lovely reviews. Have fun with this one fishies and wish you all a very happy christmas x
I recommend this game!
In this remastered classic, reawaken in that mysterious castle, and solve perplexing puzzles to escape!

I love all the awakening games apart from the redwood forest. Love boomzap and also the first two otherworld games but I didnt understand why they had to do a remake of a game that many of us have already bought.
I played part of the demo but thought the changes did not make the game any better. I also hit a glitch that threw me out of the game so that made my mind up and deleted it. Will still play the original game.
This seems to be a new trend to remake old games and I would prefer something new. The only game I would like to see remastered so I can play it on windows 11 is Mystery Trackers Dire Grove collectors edition. Miss not being able to play it. Please elephant games!!
Take care everyone x
I don't recommend this game.

This is only the second strategy game Ive played but can see how it becomes addictive. I played the demo and the characters made me laugh. The dog is so funny and the cannons shooting the men in the backside made me laugh. I liked how in the background there were animals and birds.
I got stuck on level 9 as couldnt find enough wood but it was my fault for not reading the strategy guide. I thought it got quite complicated fast. The game is very fast pace even though I was playing on relaxed!
I ended up buying the game and hope I will get better at it. Please if you are leaving a review put your favourite strategy game on it so I can have a look.
Still hope big fish will come up with a decent hop but have enjoyed something different.
I recommend this game!

I thought I would do the demo for this game as we dont seem to be getting any good hops, which I prefer. Ive never really liked strategy games but I gave it a chance and was pleasantly surprised. Lots of levels, with plenty to do. Ive only done the demo but got a feeling it will get better. The hours demo seemed to go really fast so I bought it.
Wish other players could let me know which strategy games they like the most. I miss not being able to chat on the forums. If you are going to leave a review please put your favourite strategy game in the review. I have got ten credits so need some new games!
I recommend this game!

I started playing the game and it threw me out and said my trial was over after five minutes. I now have ten club credits as there hasnt been any games Ive like for a long time. Wish reviewers could leave a list of their top ten best games. I am playing older games over again
I don't recommend this game.

I have got 8 game credits so thought I would give this demo a go. Its nothing like the original Mystery Trackers. I feel saddened by how the games have gone down hill. i keep playing my old games and hoping for something playable to appear.
I don't recommend this game.

Sorry to say but I disagree with all the other reviews. Thought the demo was short and boring. The music was very sporadic. Same old hops and games. Loved the first Chimeras but this game is nothing like that.
I don't recommend this game.

Decided to play the demo after reading the good reviews. However, was disappointed in how easy the game was. The morphing objects had the cursor change over them, so you could hardly miss them. Too many puzzles not enough hops.
Elephant Games have really dumbed down. I used to love their games but they seem too easy these days. I want a bit of a challenge.
I don't recommend this game.

Sorry to disagree with all the other reviews up til now, but I didnt rate this game. I think its graphics were too over bright.
Some of the english translations were not quite right, which should have been checked. It just seemed a daft storyline to me and still had some of the old bug bears like making an engine, getting fuel etc. This type of thing has been done a thousand times. Im at least looking for a game I want to finish the demo of, but this isnt it!
I don't recommend this game.
