I have played all the 'Travel to...' demos and I have enjoyed them. Nice scenery and not too difficult. This is the first time I noticed one of the scenes was mislabeled. The scene labelled as Hollenzollern Castle near Stuttgart was actually Neuschwanstein Castle 2 hours southeast of Stuttgart in the foothills of the Alps. Another scene looked more like a town on the Mediterrean (I forget what it was labelled as). Makes me wonder how many of the other scenes in 'Travel to Germany' and the other 'Travel to...' demos were also poorly researched. Sort of ruins the 'travel' aspect of the game. If you're only interested in the hidden object aspect, this game is okay.

Younger children who like Time Management games will probably like this one. Screen was way too bouncy. The art work seemed to be geared towards very young players - very colorful and large. I always play demos in easy mode and it was very easy. I was very disappointed to find the 60 minute demo only lasted 33 minutes and that was after I had played the last level twice. It makes me feel a little cheated. I've gotten used to the Hidden Object 90 minute demos only lasting 45 minutes, but have always appreciated that the Time Management demos lasted a full hour (until now).

Storyline
3/ 5
The customers were too impatient from the very first level. Maybe I just need a little more time before it gets tough, but I can't imagine how much more impatient the customers would get by level 10.
This started out as a simple pre-K style Match 3 game until I reached the first animal to release. I could not progress past this point because I didn't have enough stars. One would think that scores would be based on how fast the level is completed, but to acquire stars one must extend the playing time as long as possible. Some levels were just too easy and I could barely reach one star. I replayed the levels over and over until I ran out of time on the one hour demo. I think this would be very discouraging to a young person.
