This game was just okay. It is best done daily, to improve your scores. The memory test was the hardest for me--you have to match entrees with diners. The more you play, the more games get unlocked. During the demo, I only had four games unlocked. It was rather boring, so I didn't complete the demo in the same day, but spread it out every other day. Then it wasn't so bad.
I recommend this game!

At first I didn't care for this game, as it was a little confusing on how to enter the luggage room. After many attempts, I started to enjoy the game. You have to rely on the map to know where to go and what to do. I felt like a detective's assistant and that was the fun part. I like a good challenge!!
I recommend this game!

I really liked this game, and plan to purchase it. It is fun,and not frustrating. It is a little on the easy side, but that is okay. The hint system is good, the HOS fairly simple, and the puzzles are good and can be skipped. The story is different; though the puzzles are nothing new. I hated to see the demo end!!!
I recommend this game!

I like match 3 games like Unwell Mel or Jewel Quest. I didn't find this challenging enough. I did like the fact that you didn't need a tutorial---the game knows you know how to break chains, etc. That was fun. However, I quickly tired of it. The buildings are very basic, and easy to build. This game is too easy for me.
I don't recommend this game.

I guess I wanted something similar to bookworm, but this isn't it. If you have a big word, it only takes the simpler four letter word, and not the five or six letter word. If you try to make a big word, it won't let you finish it, if a smaller word is inside it. Not fun. Found my eyes closing, as it was boring. Nothing fun happens if you don't use the red or gray tiled letters. Music is nap inducing. Also, takes proper names, which scrabble disallows.
I don't recommend this game.

I can't give this five stars, as I wasn't totally engrossed. I wanted the hour to end, as there was too much back and forth, roaming around aimlessly, and not knowing what to do. And what is up with the camera? Maybe I need to play the tutorials. The hint system is wonderful--just what I love, as it just points you in the right direction. The detailing in the house was wonderful. Just what an old house should be!!!
I recommend this game!

This is a great game, and it is only one credit!! What a steal!! I purchased the game immediately after the demo. I found the game challenging, and interesting. The hint button was good, but I didn't have to use it that much. It is good to point you in the right direction. It had voice-overs, movies, HOS, and good puzzles---different than the usual. My brain is stimulated, and I am happy!!!
I recommend this game!

I did not like this game. It seems dated. I shouldn't have to click close, every time I want to exit. It got very tedious. The hint system is very good. The HOS were too easy, but rather pleasurable, as everything was very clear and big. However, there was no challenge to it. I found the game to be boring.
I don't recommend this game.

I found this game to be just average. I didn't care for the black cloud, or most of the ghosts. It was boring to hear the voice-overs, which I usually like. You could skip the mini-games, which was good (as I couldn't figure out the safe#. I found the villian to be ridiculous and unscary.The HOS were too easy. And I don't get the paranormal aspect and what I am suppose to do #outside of the portrait). But after reading all the positive reviews, I might reconsider buying this game, as I like a game without a lot of hand holding.
I don't recommend this game.

I enjoyed this game, and bought it after the demo (which I only do rarely) I like the mix of puzzles, which I found interesting and fun.Not your usual lot.
