This is the first time I've ever played a Hidden Object game from start to finish. I enjoyed the story, though found it disconcerting to see real life actor faces used in some scenes!
As a relative beginner to this genre, I found it a great starter game: I did use the hints a bit, and I occassionally skipped some of the puzzles. I found the ingame tips very helpful - I did have an issue with a crowbar, which made me restart the game (if you play this, then I can tell you there are a couple of things that need to be pried open! Don't lose that crowbar before we've actioned them all!). I had fun exploring the haunted house and its grounds. It took me around 3-4 hours to complete non-stop.
I recommend this game!

This is the second in the Campgrounds games. The really enjoyed playing the first one, and was excited to this sequel for download! Lots of fun challenges in the Endorus Expedition - I did miss the eco-friendly part of the first game as I thought that was a really nice twist and a unique element to Campgrounds (e.g. do you choose to shoot an animal, which takes less time and man-power, or do you scare it away...). That said, this was still a solid time management game. I really hope they keep going with the series :)
I recommend this game!

I really enjoyed this game, although it still does bother me a little that you don't cook the food or control your staff in this game. The idea is to set-up your restaurant appropriately with decorations, tables, chairs, kitchenware etc. as well as hiring new chefs and waiters, and training them! AND making sure you have set a good menu for the next day (you are told what ingredients people are going to want to order, and it's up to you to learn and use the right recipes. All of this is done using the money you have used the previous day.
So all of this organisation suits me (and my OCD hehe), but I do wish I was able to participate more during the opening hours of the restaurant - all you do then as the player is sit groups of people that arrive (and unlike some of ther other dining games, there isn't colour matching with bonus points, it's just making sure your group fits at the table).You do have a time limit, so the more well trained your staff are, the more tables you have, and the faster kitchen equipment all means your customers are happier and can be served/seated faster!
All this works towards making your restaurant 5 stars, along the way completing various tasks (all the tasks are listed for you from day 1, so you can complete them in any order - some tasks will require you to be further along with your restaurant e.g. certain items can only be purchased when you have earned 1 or 2 of your stars already). Compleing all tasks gives you a star, so does hitting the targets for your decorations, staffing, recipes, and having a certain number 'perfect days' (a perfect day is when your recipes, quality of food, and service are rated perfect).
I recommend this game!

This is one of my all-time FAVOURITE time management game. I hope they make a sequel! There are 6 different restaurants to complete, and a huge menu selection of sushi to create. I loved that ingredients had to be ordered in before they ran out (adds to the challenge).
I recommend this game!

Being that Youda made one of my favourite games, Youda Sushi Chef, I thought I'd try this one. Though sushi is more up my alley, this fishing game was great fun (and frustrating in some levels!).
I recommend this game!

The spooky theme is totally me: witches, wizards, vampires, Yeti, invisible men, and Dracula - they all visit your hotel and you must cater to their needs, while earning money to upgrade your hotel to make it more 'comfortable' for your supernatural guests. I enjoyed playing this, and had to replay a few levels to get an expert score.
I recommend this game!

I really enjoyed this game - I even got seriously stuck on a few levels (level 58 and 62 - I had to google for a solution to get 3 stars on those levels!). If you get the Collector's Edition, it comes with a walk-through for all levels.
I recommend this game!

Forgot I had played this game AGES ago. Played it again (and clocked it) over the last few days. It was just as fun (and sometimes, as frustrating haha) the second time around. I like that there is a huge variety in the meals you prepare. I see there is a Happy Chef 2, so I'll be buying that now!
I recommend this game!
