This is a hidden object game based on bedtime stories about your relatives dreams that never came true. I must admit that I wasn't all that thrilled with this game because most of the time I didn't know what I was supposed to be doing. The hidden object scenes themselves were actually pretty good, mostly list finds some items required multiples such as 2 masks or 4 stars. A rat appears out of nowhere and I wasn't expecting the solution to be picking up a rock and hurling it at the rat to kill him, hence the confusion. There are tasks to do such as finding a hat and putting it into the hat box or trying to find several light bulbs laying around in a dark room with nothing but a small beam of light from a kerosene lamp. Again it was extremely difficult to find these light bulbs. I wasn't crazy about the mundane tasks but I did like the hidden object scenes.

Becky Brogan has always been interested in puzzles and mysteries, she has a knack for finding missing items too. I thought this was a relaxing hidden object game, nicely done. There is an available Free mode where you can play hidden object scenes again in any location that has been played in the story mode. Each scene in the story mode has three hidden cats that are used for hints and I will admit that I couldn't find a few of them, the number of cats/hints seems to be unlimited as well. There were only two things I didn't like which kept me from giving this game 5 stars. Some of the items are too small to recognize and the scenes are repeated, the list items are different but the cat/hints are the same cats in the same exact place. Other than that I really had fun playing this game, enjoy!

Princess Sophia awoke from a 100 year slumber in in The Dreamless Castle, traveled to Moonfell Wood to visit the witch and find where her people are. The witch suggested she ask the King in the Goblin Kingdom and she has finally found her people in The Skyward Castle but is still searching for her parents, the King and Queen. This quest isn't easy because the evil Dreadmyre is hunting her, and she was born without magic! The first thing I noticed about this game, the 4th in the Awakening series, was that the puzzles have become more elaborate and much harder to solve, there are also fewer of them. There are simple puzzles such as finding the two stitches that are connected by following the stitch through a woven pattern, a game of blocks, pic cross and of course rotating puzzle pieces to complete a picture. There are more time consuming puzzles such as fixing a generator. You have to follow the tool guide picture book, page by page, using the inventory pieces and interacting with different components of the generator. The hidden object games are mostly finding 12 switches or carrots but there are also interactive list finds with some of the items located in areas that you zoom into. Ran has joined us in this game for the second game in a row as well as that cute little fire breathing pocket dragon. This Collectors Edition has a Strategy Guide, a Bonus Game, Concept Art and beautiful Wallpapers. This is one of my top favorite Fantasy themed series out there, it's hard to top the beautiful graphics, entertaining games and of course the ongoing perils of Princess Sophia's journey, enjoy!

This game has wonderful potential for young kids, the problem is that too many quests are difficult to figure out. I think a lot of questions could be answered with a better tutorial. There are 5 kinds of objects in this game. There are common objects which you simply find hidden about, broken items which need several pieces before complete, time sensitive which will require you to find the related items quickly for extra points, special tools which you use in the scene to find something and bottles of milk for extra hints. Have fun scrolling through the different barnyard scenes looking left, right, up and down, enjoy!

A nice Time Management game where you start with a bare minimum and buy more equipment with the stars you earn until you have a 5 star boutique. there are two options with this game, Story mode (timed) and Endless mode (one level after another) Your customers come in with an icon as to what they want such as shampoo, so you click and drag that customer to the washing station and click again to have Stella wash their hair. As you progress, you will hire an employee to wash hair. Then you click and drag that customer to the hair styling booth and click again for Stella to cut and style their hair. Next step is the wardrobe closet where you will see a picture of what the customer is currently wearing and a picture of what outfit she wants, so you click on all the correct items she wants. The final step is the cash register that you click on so that Stella can collect the money. Then with the stars you earn you get to buy an upgrade such as a spa and designer shoe booth etc, When a customer wants shoes you click and drag them to the shoe station and click on the two matching shoes. Each level gives you more customers as well as more tasks to follow and more equipment, so this is kind of a stressful game, so make some coffee and make people beautiful, enjoy!

The challenges and varieties available in this game are excellent, reminding me a little of the Cradle Of Rome series of match 3 games. The future has been foretold, Acrisius will be killed by his grandson, therefor he locks his daughter into a tower with only a small window. Zeus feels sorry for this lovely woman, you get the picture....
There are 3 Modes of difficulty Mortal/easy which has no timer and puzzles can be skipped in 30 seconds. Hero/medium which has a timer and 60 seconds on skip and hint meters. Olympian/hard has no skip features and hints take 2 minutes to recharge. There are mini games such as repeating the same order of symbols shown in the fire, by matching the exact order on the symbols in the sand. Some levels require you to match a certain amount of keys and then use that key to open up a chest as well as the rest of the board. You have to do the same with feathers, and then use the feather on the parchment paper. There will eventually be sickles to collect which will destroy the creatures. There are different goals requiring different types of match 3 games, the classic 3 or more tile swapping ( if you make multiple matches you receive a bomb on the board) Click and Drag multiple tiles and Click on groups. There are the usual tiles in ropes, blocks and even fog, requiring you to make multiple matches in order to break the tiles.
There are several bonuses, a single click on them will collect them and if they are on a gold tile it counts and turns it grey.
-Lyres: Apollos Blessing destroys tiles in a snowflake formation.
-Tridents: Poseidons Blessing destroys a row of tiles.
-Owls: Athenas Blessing destroys tiles in a 2 range.
-Caduceus: Hermes Blessing destroys tiles diagonally.
-Cerberuses: Hades Blessing destroys tiles in a column.
-Scallops: Aphrodites Blessing destroys tiles in 3 range.

Maybe I'm just having a bad day but I found this game to be somewhat difficult after just a few levels! This griddler game has a Greek theme centered around the Gods of Mount Olympus. There are 6 different rooms with approximately 20 levels in each room, with the goal of three gold stars in each level, but you can replay any level to try for a better score. I will say however that when I exited this game, it said that my progress wouldn't be saved! Some of the tiles have coins that are collected and can be used in the shop to purchase bonuses, Two mistakes allowed, Two starting hints instead of one and you can purchase a refill of hints for that level. There are 17 available trophies or achievements to earn, and you will lose a star for each mistake that you make. Enjoy!

This actually isn't a bad game, there are 20 collectible Light Stones to find as well as achievements to earn with 27 hidden object games and 19 puzzles available! James and William White left for an expedition to find the Lost City, several years later, James was found washed up on shore but William was still missing. After the death of Lisa's mother, she uncovers her father Williams diary and begins her own expedition to find her missing father. Someone is trying desperately to stop this new expedition with deadly force, but why? Now Lisa has no choice but to investigate because she has crash landed on the mysterious Lost City, but what she finds out might not be what she was looking for!
The Hidden Object Games are a mixture of slightly interactive list find such as clicking on a cabinet door to reveal more objects, and there are also Hidden Object Scenes where you find items that match the picture shown. Most of the mini game are fairly easy but fun. There are the classic puzzles where you put pieces of a map together, other puzzles may require you to repeat the sequence of 4 pistons that move up and down, you have to repeat the sequence 4 times so that all of the pistons are moving in sync. The mini game I enjoyed the most was rotating 4 discs, one in each corner, so that each disc had a green gem pointing at the same colored gem in the center. When you moved one disc, others moved as well.
The graphics are pretty good, the story is entertaining, the map shows areas of interest and the games were not bad. I wasn't over the top excited with the game but I do believe it's worth a credit at the very least, enjoy!

One of the things I like the most in this garden Time Management game, are the vivid colors, beautiful flowers and the fact that there isn't a foot of snow everywhere because I for one have seen enough snow this winter to last a lifetime! Jill and Mike have been successful in Sunnyvale, but have set their sites on Hollywood. There are tasks to finish within a set amount of time and you need to cut grass, move debris out of the way, repair bridges and build sheds. Some of the buildings have switchable resources meaning you can switch between seeds or tools depending on what you need more of. Each level has a goal to achieve for more points such as planting flowers in pairs. Quite a fun game, enjoy!

You are told a distant cousin has left you an inheritance so you travel to Prague only to find it's a scam, because you are dropped into a hole, trapped with no way out! However, it's all good, when a man named Titus reveals that you have been chosen by Azada to save their three worlds, so you willingly enter the portal. Titus is a guardian of Azada, one of three who guard the doors of Azadas worlds, the other two are missing as well as the keys to these magical doors. Titus gives you a box to store these keys when you find them along with instructions to keep them away from his Uncle at all cost! I really enjoyed the mini games, one of my favorites was reconstructing a bicycle chain by matching the colored links such as a blue and green link must be matched with a green link and whatever color that link had on it had to be matched up with the next link. I would have given this game a higher rating if there were any hidden object games available, at least in the demo, there were no HOS. This game does have a bonus game, concept art, wallpapers, music and screensavers available in the full version.
