Season 2 has made a few improvements since the first editions. For starters, the Hidden Objects are much easier to see. The first game had some items that were large and out of proportion mixed with tiny objects that were impossible to find because you just couldn't recognize the item. The graphics are more detailed than the last game, there is no timed mode and there still aren't any voiceovers. You can open up the map and visit any available location in any order, and there is a folder located to the right of the inventory bar which holds any clues or information you find on the patients you are treating. The Hidden Object Scenes are list finds, there are items in red which require an extra step to find them such as using an inventory item or clicking on an interactive area. Items that are grayed out cannot be found until an object is collected from another scene, fortunately, a window will pop up to inform you that nothing else can be done in the scene at that time, so you won't keep looking for something that's not there. I haven't seen this show, I didn't even know it existed, judging by the fact that the games only have two seasons, I would conclude that the show is no longer running but I could be wrong.
I don't recommend this game.

Apparently this tv series was picked up for at least a second season, but the game itself probably shouldn't. The only thing I really liked about this game was the sarcasm during the dialog between the feuding doctors. You can choose to play in either a Casual Untimed mode or a Timed mode, however, if you misclick too many times, you will get a time penalty added to the overall time score. Fair warning, this game does warn of mild language, and reference of smoking and blood, so if any of that bothers you, steer clear entirely. Most of the game takes place in an emergency room, at Leighton-Sands Hospital located in Chicago Illinois. Dr. Elizabeth Find is the attending ER physician, and you assist her in making a medical diagnosis as you examine patients. During a Hidden Object Scene, you are tasked with finding several listed items, the items in red require you to switch tabs, from items to your medical bag. For example, the item in red may say "reflex" so you switch to your medical bag to select the reflex hammer, and then use that reflex hammer on the patients knee to get his or her reflex reaction. Some of the items are so small that they cannot be recognized, which makes it a frustrating game in my opinion. This game is based almost entirely on Hidden Object Scenes with a dash of comedy. Personally, I have never even heard of this tv show, and have no idea whether or not the show made it past the second season.
I don't recommend this game.

Two of my favorite Free 2 Play games are Midnight Castle and Awakening Kingdom, and now Wanderland is on my favorite list as well. If you have never played a F2P game before, you are in for a treat, but fair warning, there is a lot of repetitiveness in the Hidden Object Scenes, therefore, it's not for everyone. Candice is a Sprite that has selected you, the Chosen One, to save the Fairy Tale world, after all the children need fairy tales. Wanderlands quests begin with fixing the Fairy Tale portals and finding Sleeping Beauty, but that's just the beginning, there's lot's of work to be done.
You must seek out characters such as the Prince, dwarves and even monks to be given quests, anyone who has a question mark above their head has a quest available. Once you accept the quest in the form of an inventory item to use in order to progress, you will need to find that item in a Hidden Object Scene. This is where the repetitiveness comes into play, at first there are only a couple of locations to search, other locations will eventually be purchased with the gold you collect. The HO's start out as list finds with only a few items to search for, as you progress more items are added to the search as well as silhouetted shapes and even dark rooms. You will have to search for the same items each time you visit that location, but the items are moved around and more items are added each time. The more locations you unlock, the less repetitive this quest becomes. Any unlocked location can be searched when it is highlighted in blue. Once you complete the quest, you simply click to accept your reward in the form of money, star gems and even bonus items. The items you find will be used on your journey to lift bridges, open gates and other various obstacles you come across that prevent you from going further. As you progress, your character levels up, which will fill your energy bar and increase the maximum energy by 10, and this progress can be seen at the top left, don't forget to click on this icon to name your character avatar.
You need energy to continue your journey and accept quests, there is a meter at the top of the screen which shows you how much energy you have left. When the meter reaches 0, you can either wait for the energy to refill or use your hard earned star gems to purchase different amounts of energy immediately. Choose items wisely in the shop, star gems are sparse and eventually you will have to use real money to purchase more gems if you want to continue your journey at a fast pace, if you are patient, you can hang around and repeat the same ole same ole quests and try to earn them. The Shop has several different categories of items, Energy of course such as a gulp of water all the way up to a full blown feast of roasted pheasant! Hints and Timers, to allow you to freeze time in HO's or even eliminate all items! Keys and Items, which allows you to purchase items to make it easier to obtain quests such as a sack of grain, wicks and barrels. Weapons, these weapons make it easier to defeat skeleton warriors such as a blessed shield or sword and also has antidotes in case you are bitten by a snake! Potions that will refill your energy faster or deplete it slower and these are available in percentages such as 76% faster. Collections which are random items such as a magnifying glass, and collections are continually added to with available updates to the game. If the game seems too easy for your taste, go into settings, this game automatically starts out in Casual mode with a tutorial but you can change this to Advanced mode to allow the player to figure out quests without all the hand holding of Casual, enjoy!

Over the past six months, every handyman who has been hired to work in the castle, has disappeared! It seems as though the castle's owner has been using these hired hands as guinea pigs to unsuccessfully test his Elixir of Immortality. Theres only one one to find out for sure, accept the latest position available at the castle! This detective certainly is brave, going undercover, posing as a jack of all trades, this could be the deadliest job he's ever had, there's barely time to unpack your bags before the owner sends you a pneumatic message to report to the "alchemist" immediately, time to get to work detective, er...handy man.
This game is chock full of Hidden Object Lists, most scenes have two HOP, and at least one mini game, not to mention tons of gadgets to figure out and inventory supplies to pick up. Some of the inventory items require you to combine them by dragging one item to the other. There is no indication above the items so if you get stuck, try combining some logical items together. There is a magnifying glass icon which will only show you all areas of interest in that location, not what to do or where to go next. However, there are hints available within the HOS. The Hidden Object Scenes are simple list finds, a few of the scenes were blurry and the objects weren't very recognizable because of it, for the most part the scenes were well done, and most of the objects were period specific, in other words, the items were antiques typical of items a castle would have used back in the day. The Mini Games are fairly easy, such as, sliding tiles around to empty spaces until the four sections of a circle, surrounded the circular hub in the middle, or swapping "teeth" on a lockpick to match the teeth of the existing lock mechanism. This game has an overabundance of Hidden Object Scenes, and simple puzzles and a lot of back and forthing, so if that's not what you're looking for, steer clear, otherwise, enjoy!

This is probably the funniest seek and find adventure I have every played. The graphics ate actually very bright, colorful and crisp, even though the graphics are animated, it's obvious someone spent a lot of time perfecting the details. King Ludwig of Sky World has summoned the finest investigator available, which happens to be Felix the Investigator. Something or someone has turned Princess Mary into a hideous monster. The King likes to refer to Mary as a Rabbit, but she looks nothing like a cute fuzzy rabbit!
Each level or chapter has a whole slew of tasks to accomplish such as finding tools, or multiples of items such as 10 apples and 6 melons. The task are given to you on a list in groups and once you find all of those items you are tasked with using those items to solve a small dilemma, usually in the form of a mini game such as putting puzzle pieces together. Some of the tasks involve using a remote control box to align a crane, or a cannon both sideways and the trajectory or distance. One such piece of equipment involved launching some very cute sheep from the main island to a smaller island section, I accidentally overshot that poor little sheep (whose name was Dolly) over the side of the island, I felt horrible! If you want to play a lighthearted game that has all kinds of tasks available, and you like a sense of humor, give this game a try, but don't launch poor Dolly too far, enjoy!

We have another Mystery to solve, tracking down Oliver who has been abducted by the Owlman who was thought to be just a legend...until now. The odd thing is, the Owlman is a good omen in the nearby town of Nightsville, why has he come to terrorize the citizens of Willowsville? A little further investigation with the help of Elf, reveals that these two towns have always been rivals, did someone go too far this time?
Mystery Trackers has always been known for all sorts of goodies, Morphing Objects, Collectible Coins that can be used to purchase Character Figurines in a vending machine, and there are Collectible Monsters as well. There are Achievements to earn and Plus Sign inventory items that require some type of interaction before they can be used. An old man appears out of nowhere and gives you the "gift of sight" which allows you to see scenes in a whole different light, the way it was before something traumatic happened. Once you return items to their correct places, you reveal things you never knew was there, which really helps your investigation. When you speak to different characters, you are given several questions to ask, and you can choose which questions you want to ask in any order. You will collect pieces of evidence and once you have collected an entire set of evidence you will be able to make a deduction about what happened, which is presented in a video form for visualization.
The Hidden Object Scenes are well done, a little on the dark side, but items are easily recognizable, most scenes require you to find items that match silhouetted shapes shown in groups which reveals a part to the final item. There are smaller mini games such as turning several discs to allow rods to engage from the center hub to the outer ring. Then there's those long, complicated puzzles, where you have to match the numbers and birds on the code deck with the ones on the wheel, using the numbers and birds that are already set as a clue. The second set requires you to do the same thing with numbers, filling in the blank spaces according to the numerical pattern.
This Collectors Edition has Wallpapers, Concept Art, Music, a Secret Room, Achievements, Collectible Coins and Figurines, Morphing Objects, a Vending Machine, a built in Strategy Guide, and a Bonus Chapter, enjoy!

This is a seek and find adventure combined with a Battle feature where you are challenged to win a chess type game against evil forces. Young Albert and his sister, Lillian are students at the Academy for wizards. Albert's skills are put to the test when Sibelius, an evil sorcerer who was kicked out of the academy, kidnaps Lillian. This all sounds kind of familiar, speaking of familiar, each student has their own "familiar" pet, Albert's is a purple fuzzy critter named Fellian or Felly for short. As Albert and Felly set out on their quest to find Lillian, they use each room in the academy to their advantage, collecting important items they'll need and solving several tasks in the form of a simple mini game such as turning dials to complete a picture or or finding broken mirror shards and repairing a mirror. Most of the Hidden Object Scenes are Silhouettes, where you find items within the scene that match the silhouetted shape shown, and there is a zoom in area that requires you to move items out of the way, as a silhouette is shown one item at a time, to reveal the item needed to complete the final item in the original HOP. Whenever Albert comes across a foe, such as a Golem Guard or a familiar with attitude, a battle will ensue in the form of a board game. The board will have your elementals on the left side and the enemys elementals on the right side. You can choose any of your elementals to move them by clicking on the desired one and then you move that elemental to the desired and available position, which will highlight the opponents elementals that can be destroyed. simply click on the opponents elemental you wish to destroy. The goal is to destroy more of the opponents elementals then the opponent destroys of yours (last man standing) Elementals can be made stronger if you line at least three of them up either horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, it will then require at least two consecutive hits to destroy them. You can replay mini games and battles anytime you want, once they have been played in the original game. When you complete the game, you will be able to play new opponents as an added feature. I have played this strategy based type of game before, in a Match 3 game but never in an adventure or HOPA. This game surprised me at every turn, the cartoonish graphics are well done, the game functioned well, and kept you busy, there was always something to do, and those tasks were lighthearted and entertaining, enjoy!

What a great game of solitaire, the entire family will enjoy this whimsical, nautical themed game. This is a Higher/Lower game requiring you to clear the board by clicking a card one higher or one lower than the deck card show, while attempting to make large combos. Each hand will have ill or imprisoned fish in a bubble, to free them you have to make a combo of a specific amount of cards as shown under the bubble, some require several combos. Occasionally, you will uncover Fish Helpers that are card specific wildcards, and there are trophies to earn as well. Some of the cards are blocked with Plants, Oil or even Sleeping Clams, and cannot be played until a special card is uncovered to remove the blockage. You can choose to allow the cards to gently "sway" as if they truly are underwater, which is a cool feature I haven't seen before.
You can spend the pearls you earn playing, to purchase upgrades in the shop. The Skipper is a wildcard that can be used in place of any card you choose, Clowny's Headbut destroys a single card, Sharky's Flipper-Flapper smashes a stack of cards, Inky's Tentacle grabs several cards and destroys them, Crabby's Claw allows you to click away as many cards as you can for 5 seconds (how cool is that!) the Big Turnover opens all aquatic plant, oil and clam covered cards, and finally, the Random Extra card which randomly chooses one of the bonus cards. This game reminds me of Seven Seas Solitaire which is a pirate themed solitaire game, so pull up a beach chair and enjoy!

Not a bad M3 game, but certainly light years away from being an awesome M3 game. As other reviewers have stated, the music is outdated and annoying, but that's an easy fix. The concept of this intergalactic Match 3 game is really good but poorly executed. The Match 3 items are too unappealing, white, blue, yellow, and red crystals that at the very least should have been more vibrant in color, not enough "eye candy" in my opinion. Basically, you make matches of at least 3 identical items by swapping tiles, you must make matches over all yellow cells, and collect a specific number of each crystal that is shown at the top of the playing field. The main goal is to collect the scarce green crystals which are supposed to be Energy Crystals, which will be used to power bonuses (galactic weapons) You travel from your home planet, Earthoc, to the planet Lavar as you chase down the interstellar villain who heisted your Time Machine, eventually making your way to all of the planets, Dorund, Asil and Korak. You can replay any level at any time, if you want to beat the highest scores and become the Champion of space, I didn't see an option to play this game without a timer, but it may exist in another galaxy lol.
If you make matches of 5 or more crystals, a Bomb will appear on the playing field which will explode if clicked to destroy all tiles nearby. Occasionally, a Meteorite will slam into the playing field, you want to click on it as soon as possible to break it up, and you will get a whole slew of bombs on the board. As you progress, you will earn different bonuses, BUT, each one requires a lump sum upfront, and then more energy crystals each time they are used, the weapons are available at the bottom of the playing field, and cannot be used until you unlock them first. There is a Crystal Laser with an initial cost of 27,500 energy units and 4,500 energy units each time you use it, the laser destroys an entire row in one shot. The Seeker Drone can be programmed to find certain stones to destroy, the initial cost is 47,500 energy units and an additional 7,500 energy units for each use. The Ion Beam cost 70,000 energy units to activate and an additional 2,500 energy units to use, this beam automatically finds it's target and focuses all it's energy on it until it's destroyed. The Ultra Sonic Torpedo requires 105,000 units of energy to complete and 12,500 energy units to deploy, this weapon upends the entire playing field and reshuffles all of the tiles. Some of the tiles are blocked and unavailable until you make at least one match beside the obstruction such as a lunar rock, which makes the game more challenging. I did enjoy playing this Match 3 game, I just wish they would have made the game more epic and colorful, enjoy!

Congratulations on your new promotion to Senior Ranger! Pinecreek Hills has never been better, so choose the gender of Ranger you want to portrait and get to work finding missing items, and cleaning up the park. There are seek and find puzzles in scenes all around the park, each scene has several wildlife animals to find that are shown as silhouettes in a box to the left of the word search bar, when all animals have been spotted, the box will close. You will also recycle trash that is laying around, such as plastic bottles, crumpled paper and cans, when all trash has been found, the recycle can icon will be filled to the top. You will earn an Eagle Eye achievement if you don't use either the hint or mega hint feature. You earn a Bronze star for completing the search, a Silver star if you find all wildlife OR all recyclable items and a Gold star if you find all wildlife AND all recyclable items. Words listed in blue require an interaction such as finding an air pump to fix a tire, words in red are hidden, requiring you to click on an item to open it which will reveal the hidden item, and most scenes have an area that zooms in which will have several items within that are on the list. Levels can be replayed at anytime to better your score or locate items you missed the first time. My favorite feature in the Vacation Adventures games are the abundance of Mini Games available after each search, such as, Spot The Difference, Word Search, Match Two and several different styles of puzzles, rotating tiles and putting together maps and pictures with different shaped pieces. You can use the money you earn playing the game in the Souvenir Shop to purchase anything from a coffee mug to a Turquoise Necklace, everything you purchase is kept in a display case in the Souvenir Room, enjoy!
