My 5 year old picked out this game. It has great graphics and fun music. The hidden object scenes are a little difficult for her. My 8 year old has no trouble playing the game.

My 5 year old picked out this game. It has great graphics and fun music. The hidden object scenes are a little difficult for her. My 8 year old has no trouble playing the game.
If I had it to do over again, (and I will), I would not use the timed mode since I had to repeat the harder levels when time kept running out.
The mermaid swimming noise is annoying but I've gotten used to it. I wish the game had more than one background. Overall, this is a very entertaining game. This is not like any other match 3 I have played and you really do have to put thought into the movement pattern of objects to win the levels. Show less

I recommend this game!

Having played about 90% of this game, I find the way the tokens move very frustrating at the higher levels, and ultimately boring when I get stuck. The tokens do not move predictably, but rather flow along a path partly driven by the direction in which the last group was selected.

Having played about 90% of this game, I find the way the tokens move very frustrating at the higher levels, and ultimately boring when I get stuck. The tokens do not move predictably, but rather flow along a path partly driven by the direction in which the last group was selected.

This starts out as a relatively normal match-3 game, but then you have to first have the crab pick up a key, or open a chest, and lastly both pick up the key and open the chest on the same level. If a player is familiar with the "make a path" type of match-3, this seems not that bad, but here you have to make the tokens move toward the goal as a group, taking the crab along. Given the obstacles and sometimes just too few good matches, as well as the convoluted board shapes at higher levels, this can get the player stuck for quite a while doing much of nothing, just to unblock the crab's path. The game is enjoyable for me in the untimed mode, but it's not one I'll keep replaying. Show less

I recommend this game!

I played this game and it is more for a child. It is a Match 3 game. The object is to match 3 of the same object to and you have to finish in the time aloted.There is a challange for a child. I did get stuck on level 7. I feel that a child can have hours of fun with this game. I would recommend this game for a child.

I recommend this game!

I am okay with this game. I do like Match games so this one comes thru for me. Not the most exciting one I have ever played but this will do when I need to get my mind somewhere else. The only thing I find annoying is that Mermaid picking up the pearls..she needs to wait after the level is done. She blocks up the view at the bottom and can waste precious time.I know there will be more exciting ...Show more

Though pretty graphics and easy to see, this is not your standard Match 3 game. Its a selecting/sliding Match 3 game. And for those people that are even slightly moused challenged it can be rather difficult to correctly select the token images to be 'matched'. Then when you get into the part of the game where you have to work/move a key or creature to a chest or something -- its all but impossible ...Show more

Though pretty graphics and easy to see, this is not your standard Match 3 game. Its a selecting/sliding Match 3 game. And for those people that are even slightly moused challenged it can be rather difficult to correctly select the token images to be 'matched'. Then when you get into the part of the game where you have to work/move a key or creature to a chest or something -- its all but impossible -- to do so. Which made the game extermely challenging and well into the frustration mode.

I really think BFG needs another category to cover these sliding 'match 3' games. Show less

I don't recommend this game.

Placement of buttons a bit odd. I found the mermaid character a bit creepy looking by how it was rendered.

I don't recommend this game.
