I've been trying to exorcize the demons from this house for 13 years...maybe 13 will be my lucky number!?!

I've been trying to exorcize the demons from this house for 13 years...maybe 13 will be my lucky number!?! Perhaps this time, I will be able to banish this evil and send it back to the bowels of He[insert double L's] I've got to make a quick trip to Walmart to stock up on supplies. Wooden Stakes are sold in the garden center, right?

This is one of my favorite Match 3 games of all time because it requires tasks to be completed in a specific order; it's a thinking kind of game! Thanks, Igore, for including a Hint button, lol. You can play in a Relaxed Mode, a Limited Time Mode, or a Limited Moves Mode, and this is one of the few games that I play in Limited Moves Mode versus Limited-Time because of the Strategy involved; it just makes more sense to be able to plot your next move.

A Match 4 will give you Dynamite and a Match 5, 6, and 7 will give you a Morphing Power-up (just click when it's on the desired power-up) The Morphing Power-up choices include a TNT Barrel, Lightning which removes all of one kind of tile (whatever it is swapped with), or a Rocket which targets objects from most important to least important depending on what obstacles remain. The chosen morph can be canceled within 10 seconds by right-clicking. Power-ups are usually a critical component because most coins are blocked by obstacles that require a power-up to destroy them, and most often by a specific power-up.

Collecting Coins is always the goal, and there are several different types of Coins that can be collected with an adjacent match, but they are usually blocked by an obstacle that requires a specific power-up:
$~Gold Coins: adjacent match
$~Dust Coins: adjacent match twice
$~Frozen Coins: direct Fire to melt
$~Trunk Coins: adjacent match (collect all to open Trunks)
$~Locked Coins: move the key to the lock$~Coin Molds: move gold drops to fill the molds.
$~Half Coins: clear a path between halves until they adjoin.$~Bug Coins: destroy the bugs to unlock the coin.
$~Cursed Coins: destroy with light.
$NEW-Coins & Cursed Coins that drop and are invulnerable to Rockets!

There are Obstacles that require using strategies to overcome. Lots and lots of Obstacles, some old, some new, but always challenging:
☆~Magnets: will magnetize all rocket power-ups and lightning
☆~Bombs: requires an adjacent match, Lightning, or Cannons to detonate.☆~Darkness: requires a direct ray of light (light is reflected by mirrors, etc.)
☆~Trunks: collect all Trunk Coins then make an adjacent match near Trunk to open.
☆~Crates: adjacent match or power-up.☆~Shielded Crates: adjacent match near unshielded sides or power-up.
☆~Cannon: adjacent match next to the wick.
☆~Shields: place shields in front of cannonball fire to ricochet the ball (shields have directional arrows showing the direction the ball will travel)
☆~Bugs: use power-ups or cannons to destroy them.
☆~Vials: move liquid drops to fill vials that block areas.
☆~Papyrus: make matches in the sequence shown on the papyrus to remove it.
☆~Ground Tiles: make an adjacent match.
☆~Lava Stones: use power-ups or cannons to destroy them.
☆~Fog: adjacent match or cannons.
☆~Ice: make a match with the tile inside the Ice.
☆~Snow: adjacent match or fire
☆~Chains: adjacent match or cannons.
☆~Crests: remove the required number of specified tiles shown inside the bubble.
☆~Red & Green Cells: adjacent matches or power-ups.
☆~Red & Green Hot Stones: remove all Red & Green Cells.
☆~Locks: create a path for the Key towards the Lock.
☆~Electricity Emitters: create a continuous path of Blue tiles from Emitter to Bulb. (single adjacent electricity tiles can be moved into place)

After playing a few Match 3 levels, you can play a Mini-Game that does include a Skip feature & can be replayed. My personal favorites are the Spot The Differences scenes; in my opinion, nobody does a better job with this mini-game because they do an incredible job of making the obvious not-so-obvious. I love the Diamond Push game, where you use a ladybug to push diamonds into place, hopefully without getting stuck in a corner. The Hidden Object Scenes have incredibly well-blended objects as well.

This couldn't have come at a better time with so many inferior games we get so frequently. I play my old CH games very often. The challenge and entertainment never wears out. I love the constant strategy involved to remove the coins.

Limited Moves is my favorite play mode but I enjoy Limited Time now, too. Each game is basically the same but I don't care, they are just so much fun. I love the mini games, especially STD, and moving the diamonds with the beetle which is a great exercise in strategy.

The boards are tricky in layout, the icons not very attractive but interesting. I love the fire and mirrors, they really test my skills and frustration level. But that's all part of a well designed game that uses smart ideas to keep the boredom away and the interest and fun ever-present.

I was thankful for the sale today, buying this great game for just $5.00. Show less

This Match 3 dynasty always brings a smile to my face when a new installment pops up on the Big Fish website. As my title states, you can count on the Cursed Houses to provide great puzzles, with the ability to change the difficulty based on a timed-mode or a limited-moves-mode. The spot-the-difference puzzles are always tough to finish, with one last difference sitting there staring at me. This is a game, like the Laruavilles, that are automatic purchases for me, especially with a sale price. Heck, I pay full price for these. The ? Book is straight forward, with definitions of tiles & bombs, and how to play them. I appreciate not having to stop the game play to go out to a Main Menu to find this information. As I type this, it seems like such a simple thing, but these aspects of the game layout are so easily violated by other games. So thanks for continuing to come up with new twists on an old favorite.

As I noticed, the difficulty level was increased again. There are already some pretty difficult levels, which I had to nibble on quite a bit.
I liked that there are cutscenes with solitaire and hidden objects again. It's a nice change in between.
