If you ever wondered what that Pot of Gold at the end of a rainbow looks like, then you are sure to love this latest offering in the Labyrinths of the World series. Fool’s Gold is a wonderful and fun game full of the brilliant color that this developer prefers in its games. At least for me this is one of the best games in the series and I loved every minute that I played Fool’s Gold.

In every ...Show more

In every Labyrinths game you find yourself in trouble of one sort or another, and Fool’s Gold is true to the theme. Your friend Alessa invites you to tag along to the new Leprechaun Museum in Dublin, and it isn’t long before Alessa finds trouble when she throws a coin into a pot that is reputed to be the “true” Leprechaun’s Pot that will grant wishes. Alessa is whisked away through a portal and you must follow to save your friend. The game is a lot of fun as you run into a trouble making leprechaun who is out to steal the Dragon’s Gold and if he succeeds the dragon will exact revenge on the village.

When I was a kid, I spent hours daydreaming about that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow so this Labyrinths of the World appealed to the kid in my and I purchased straightaway.

IMHO, this developer has it right when they create a game since they include the ability to set hints and skips as low as zero. I wish all developers would include that option with the custom setting in all games, but some simply stick to the same old 15 seconds without listening to what we gamers want.

I agree with another reviewer that the HOPS are some of the best I’ve seen in ages. Not only are they creative but they are fun, and I found playing the scenes to be so enjoyable that I didn’t consider using the alternate Match 3 game. The puzzles were not difficult even on the Hard setting and I didn’t need to use the Skip option. For me there are still far too many puzzles in the game but not everyone will agree. I do enjoy some puzzles but would far rather have more HOPS.

Yes, there are those who will complain that the game is the same old thing but that is the nature of HOPA games. In all HOPA games there is the same pattern so yes, they are at times cookie-cutter but, IMHO, Labyrinths of the World is a great game and one that I did enjoy. The pace of the game is just right for me. I felt like the story moved forward without being buried with too many difficult tasks. It is an easy breezy game and just what I wanted today. Even though I love the game and think it is excellent, as always, please try the demo to see if Fool’s Gold is for you. Happy gaming! Show less

I recommend this game!

Who does not love squabbling leprechauns? It had character and color. This is a game if you want to get out of the greyed out basement for lacking a flashlight battery and smile for a bit.

I recommend this game!

Your friend is crazy about Leprechauns and she is studying Irish Mythology. She bought two tickets to Dublin, Ireland. You go with her. You both go to the Leprechauns' History Museum and end up in a portal to a magical place.

It has 13 hops and 13 mini-games. 3 chapters. It's only for fantasy lovers. Beautiful flowers, butterflies and birds.

I recommend this game!

I was excited to learn this game is set in Ireland with leprechauns. But nobody speaks with an Irish accent! What's up with that??

I recommend this game!

Love this series… Wonderful graphics ..very well done and loved the story. The option to do a match 3 instead of the seek and find..is nice .. I like that.. Nice to mix it up once in a while..
A couple of glitches … backed out of the scene and back in and it reset itself.
Really Not a huge fan of the map.
Overall loved playing the game...

I recommend this game!

Review based on Completed CE Game
approximately 5.5 hours
(including CE Bonus Chapter and all mini-games)

IF I had only played the demo portion of this game I would have given it 5 stars, but I played the entire game. The ending was a huge letdown and the dragon's voice was the worse voiceover selection choice for a dragon that I could ever have imagined! IF they had stuck to one theme, I may have given it 5 stars too, but they went from Leprechaun town to Faun town (psssst: pachyderm guys are you okay with this infringement?) then onto Merlin's Wizard school, and finally to the dragon's lair, but it wasn't until the very last scene that we actually get to see the dragon. I was "fooled" into thinking this was a game about Dragon's and Leprechauns but after the demo, I get a game about 1 evil leprechaun and a lot of talk about said dragon?????

It's a miracle I tell ya! Domini released a game with only 3 chapters instead of the usual 750 chapters! I have complained about the over-abundance of chapters that were crammed full of repeated tasks and no plot progression. This game is a vast improvement, however, they still need to work on the overabundance of cliche tasks. How many times do I need to cut vines, sweep debris with feathers, replace eyeballs, replace rings on a skeleton (trust me, he doesn't need them nor does he care about them) and how many times are you going to make me screw a screw with a coin, a different coin every time??? And one more thing, if I have to save a drowning victim, give me enough credit to immediately grab a nearby branch or dive in to save them, DON'T make me play 4 mini-games, search 3 different scenes for emblems to place and then play a Hidden Object Scenes before attempting to save someone that just pleaded with me to save them because they don't know how to swim!

There are 15 Hidden Object Scenes + 5 in the CE Bonus Chapter, a FEW of which were indeed creative although not really original. One was a Missing Letters HOP where you had to find listed items that had 2-3 missing letters, the other HOP that was different required you to choose the correct answer to a riddle and then find 1-3 items related to the answer of that riddle. The rest of the HOP's were Interactive List finds, Silhouetted Shape finds, Keywords in Sentence finds. Matching Pair finds, and Multiples of the same object finds. There is an alternate Match 3 game available as well.

There are 18 Mini-Games +8 in the CE Bonus Chapter. These are the same exact games offered in the last Domini release, not a single game was new or original. Here are a few games that I found to be more interesting:

＊Move to highlighted cells to reach the torch while avoiding the red cells.
＊Grab 2 tokens at a time and move them to their matching slots using directional arrows.
＊Place bugs on the board so that their "domino" numbers will match.
＊Find the correct sequence of musical notes shown. Notes can be located horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.

The Collector's Edition version Bonus Chapter has us chasing after another greedy and misguided Leprechaun named Aaron. You will play as Cedric before he became an Elder, trying to thwart Aaron's nefarious plans to reconstruct an artifact of immense power. This Bonus Chapter is slightly longer than average with 5 Hidden Object Scenes and 8 Mini-Games. You will find the remaining 4 Morphing Fairies, 4 Leprechaun Statuettes, and 8 Celtic Crosses that will allow you to purchase the remaining Garden upgrades.

The Collector's Edition version has 20 Wallpapers, 20 Concept Art pictures, 5 Music Soundtracks, 30 Movie Video Cutscenes, 32 Achievements, 18 Replayable Hidden Object Scenes, 18 Replayable Mini-Games, 15 Leprechaun Statuettes, 15 Morphing Fairies, 60 Celtic Crosses used to purchase 15 Garden Decorations, 3 Main Chapters, +Bonus Chapter, and a Built-in Strategy Guide.

The graphics were good but the storyline was hard to believe . You're presented with tasks with no way to complete them because you don't have the right tools and can't get them. The hints made no sense at all.

I don't recommend this game.
