This game surprised me for 2 reasons. We had a Faircroft's Antiques game earlier this month so didn't expect another one so soon. Also surprised to see a Christmas themed game toward the end of January. I liked the previous Faircroft game except for the huge overdose of dialogue. I finally just clicked on every dialogue screen w/o reading it since I enjoyed the basic variety of games. I great big shout out to the developer for giving the player a "skip" button so you can now skip all of that bothersome dialogue in this game. I really do l like games like this one that have multiple games rather than just a straight HO game. This is a kick back and relax game for me. Also it's getting toward the end of the month and I was happy to get 3 punches on my card. I'm giving this a 5 star rating because of the "fun factor" and also because of that wonderful skip button for the dialogue. I don't mean to insult the people who were tasked with writing all of that dialogue; but it's just too much for me. Show less

I recommend this game!

This Faircroft's Antiques game is so much more fun than the one I bought a week ago (Faircroft's Antiques: Treasures of Treffenburg). On this game, you can actually skip all the dialogue instead of having to hit the continue button non-stop just to get to a scene. Would recommend.

I recommend this game!

I was flabbergasted to see this game right upon the heels of the first episode, but I'm absolutely delighted that we are getting the sequel so soon. My guess is that the release dates were pushed back from Fall and Christmas to now due to the pandemic. You'll find the first episode here: https://www.bigfishgames.com/games/14812/faircrofts-antiques-treasures-treffenburg-ce/

I was flabbergasted to see this game right upon the heels of the first episode, but I'm absolutely delighted that we are getting the sequel so soon. My guess is that the release dates were pushed back from Fall and Christmas to now due to the pandemic. You'll find the first episode here: https://www.bigfishgames.com/games/14812/faircrofts-antiques-treasures-treffenburg-ce/

In this episode, Mia is home from Treffenberg for the Holidays and of course, cannot resist getting involved in more projects.

You'll find adorable stuffed critters (like the 2 sweetheart ladybugs... personbugs?) on the couch, cuddly "live" sugar gliders, and some sort of stuffed beastie by the fireplace that is a, uh... dog (?) with a bird's head that seems to be wearing some sort of WWI Snoopy cap. Yes. Well.

The scenes are bright and cheery, and the objects are big enough so that these old eyes don't have to squint, use eyedrops, and peer into the scene with my nose on the screen.

I've not encountered a single glitchy moment and the game play is a perfect relief from the intense online work I do. And it's a great family game. Wish the grandkids weren't all grown up, dontcha' know.

Can't wait for the next installment! :D

Been playing 'puter games since Pong and Zelda (sure miss some of those DOS games) and am currently going back through retro BF games in my "toybox" and scouring BF for ones I may have missed over the last (mumble mumble) years. Show less

I recommend this game!

I can't wait to buy this game and play it like I played the other Faircroft's Aniques game. And I enjoyed that game as well. This one looks good. I hope Boonzap Games develop more Faircroft's Antiques Collector's Edition Games in the future for Big Fish Games. Because they look brilliant to play. I enjoy playing these types of Hidden Object games very, very much.

This is a very traditional Hidden Object game and a relaxing one; Please try the demo to see if the puzzle types and difficulty level are for you. It was just right for me as a stress-reducer.

I really enjoyed the game for the story (including the dialogue). I have always loved Boomzap games and am really happy to see them back with games for the PC.

I recommend this game!

I really liked the game. It was cute, and more like the original hidden object games I started out playing. I love the new ones too but this just brought back memories of when I first started playing these games. There were so many different puzzles and different scenes. There was a lot of talking but I skipped it all. I was glad to have just a relaxing retro game.

The Faircroft Christmas is an excellent game. It has an assortment of puzzles, offering a variety instead of the same old thing. I love that the scenes are busy- have a lot of different items, yet are done in such a way that it doesn't drive your anxiety level crazy searching for objects.
The storyline is good, could be a little more personable to connect better with the characters.

The storyline is good, could be a little more personable to connect better with the characters.
The level of challenge is good, some puzzles are easier than others.
The graphics are good, and artistic scenes make finding hidden objects challenging but not too easy.
This game is fun. I have played all of the Faircrofts multiple times, but the Christmas Edition is my favorite. Show less
