This is a really fun game and the story line is different than a lot of the hidden object games. This one is not gloom and doom but rather love gone obsessive.
The robots and mechanics are fun. They aren't too hard and so not too intimidating. The house itself is brilliant! What a cool place to play.
I didn't want the game to end. It was too fun!
I recommend this game!

This game is just brilliant in creating magical lands that you would actually want to live in. The colors and characters are enchanting. This game is probably more suited to women than men as far as color scheme and lands that you visit. There are 5 chapters; I don't know if I can remember all of them but there is a Forest Land, Under the Sea Land, Dwarf Land, Winter Land, and Castle Land.
There are all sorts of different mini games throughout the game combined with hidden object games. The hidden object games alternated between giving you a word list and the actual picture of the item to find. I liked that and it kept the hidden object part from being monotonous. This game is not difficult at all, but I found it quite enjoyable.
I liked that the villain never jumped "in" my face and really was just a background character. The main characters were friendly and fun.
I would absolutely buy a sequel to this game.
I recommend this game!

This game is ideal for those days when you want to play a simple game that allows you to chose objects to decorate a garden. You can play with or without the clock but I did find that when I played with the clock, I received bonus money for time not used at the end of each hidden object game.
You get 3 choices of each decorative item that is put in the garden. This ranges from flowers, ponds, bridges over the pond, fencing, house paint color, porches, walkway material - the list goes on and on.
The game is absolutely charming and leaves you feeling good. The soundtrack is nice, cheerful and not annoying.
I recommend this game!

This is one of my all time favorite games and really got me hooking on casual gaming.
The story line is intriguing and the art is so detailed. The story is a bit creepy, but not horrific. I love all the twists and turns and the maze to get around.
This is totally worth the money - it offers a lot of enjoyment and you will want to replay it about once a year or so - I do anyways.
I recommend this game!

This game is just flat out fun! It is a wonderland of enchantment and for us 80's kids, this reminded me of The World of David the Gnome.
Everything was light and happy in the game. "Delightful" would be my one world description. If you are stressed and need an escape from life, this is the perfect game.
I hope that there is a sequel.
I recommend this game!

I really liked this game, it was fun, but challenging. I enjoyed the storyline and releasing it around Halloween was perfect.
Seems like there could easily be a sequel though because some of the questions weren't answered. I felt like there were more things to explore in the game.
I recommend this game!
