I liked the change in pace with the mini-games. The game itself was identical to the first Season. You find 3 of the same kind, hit one of them and all explode. I liked the mirror at the end as the pieces locked in place.

This is a fun match 3 but not in the traditional way. You progress through the four seasons to restore the mirror. You match 3 and hit one of the jewels and all of the same explode. There are powerups to help. There is also an arcada to play.

This game was easy to start, but then you have arrows that switch the objects. Each level becomes more challenging. You can collect money and buy powerups on the shopping basket in the beginning of each level. Level 3s are unique. After completing all six levels in a City, you obtain a puzzle to complete. I thought the puzzles could have been more fun if the pieces where not all the same size squares. There is a solve putton if you prefer not to complete them.
You came to the town of Brownville, Louisiana hoping to find a new job. But you weren't expecting to stumble upon a strange adventure in a world filled with beauty and danger!
Great game. You are invited to Brownville to play a game of cards. Only problem you get stuck in the game. There are great mini-puzzles and the hidden objects are clear and interactive. The bonus game is long and there are collectables to find.
You thought this would be just like any other investigation. But now you find yourself lost in a mysterious mansion brimming with strange creatures, comatose colleagues, and mysterious tentacles around every corner...

This is a fun game. Easy to follow. Good mini-puzzles and hidden objects are somewhat interactive. If you get stuck in this SE version there is a forum and a walkthrough.

Although the story line didn't seem to be all that clear in the beginning, you finally found out during the bonus chapter. I enjoyed the mini-puzzles the most as they were different from ones I have seen in the past. The hint button is very slow to refill; however in this CE version the Strategy Guide is very helpful.
If you liked 4 Elements this game is similar. You move water to a fountain through obstacles and earn money along the way. My only objection is that you have to spend the money or it is lost. It doesn't accumulate, or at least it didn't for me.

A good game for the entire family to learn about the Hope Diamond. There are six chapters and a bonus game. The puzzles and hops are fun. You also can collect objects and Smithsonian symbols.

This game is one of the best I have played. The story takes you on adventures through books; the hidden objects are varied and interactive; the mini-puzzles are good. Along the way you can collect roses and other hidden objects. If you miss them, you can go to extras and find all of them to play the hidden games.
