This game reminds me of "Yard Sale" games from as far back as 2010. I loved them then and I adore this one. So much fun finding items in a homey environment that's colorful and timely. So glad Big Fish caters to us customers, especially me, now a lady in my eighties and young at heart.

I recommend this game!

This game reminds me of the Playrix games. The graphics and music are excellent. Just playing the demo so far but I'm really enjoying it and will buy when done.

I recommend this game!

I purchased this as the free game on a Halloween BOGO. I kind wish I'd gone with another title, though. I thought it might be like the old Playrix games (Gardenscapes, Farmscapes) which used this same formula and Seven Sails obviously did borrow their very successful template here, but this Yard Sale lacks the charm and likeability present in those earlier classic games.

I purchased this as the free game on a Halloween BOGO. I kind wish I'd gone with another title, though. I thought it might be like the old Playrix games (Gardenscapes, Farmscapes) which used this same formula and Seven Sails obviously did borrow their very successful template here, but this Yard Sale lacks the charm and likeability present in those earlier classic games. There's little or no soundtrack, many of the objects are too small to see on my 17.5" laptop, and the images are lacking the clarity and crispness I am used to seeing in today's very high quality hidden object games. I probably should have just done a drive-by on this Yard Sale, checked it out from the street and kept on going. Seven Sails, you do put out some great games but this one misses the mark for me. Three very generous stars is what I'll assign it then, which means on the BF game rating system that it's just "OK." Show less

I don't recommend this game.

I love games like this and was excited to download it for a trial. Unfortunately, the items are so TINY it wasn't worth the frustration of trying to see them. Very disappointed.

I don't recommend this game.

This dev usually presents top quality games but I feel Yard Sale missed the mark a little. It is somewhat similar to the great Gardenscapes from way back, which I love and still play.

This dev usually presents top quality games but I feel Yard Sale missed the mark a little. It is somewhat similar to the great Gardenscapes from way back, which I love and still play. Yard Sale isn't very much fun mainly because the graphics aren't so great, unlike the graphics from the older Yard Sale series.

They are too dark in the HO scenes and make searching a very slow process. Hints were needed too often! Also the HOs are very tiny and many don't look like their description. Some were hard to collect, requiring numerous clicks, some didn't respond to a direct hit but worked if clicked right next to them. So that was frustrating all through the demo.

Of the games offered I liked Find the Difference the most with a large number of differences. The puzzles were very easy. There's a Treasure Hunt that you can play with earnings. The more you have, the more squares you can dig up. What you uncover goes into a treasure chest but I don't know how the findings are used.

The game is satisfying if you like this style of hidden object game. I thought the demo was enjoyable in spite of the issues I mentioned but I'm not keen on purchasing because I don't like poking around in the dark looking for stuff. I prefer recognizing the items and enjoying the challenge because they are well blended into the surroundings rather than being in a too-dark area, making them nearly invisible.

The CE content is scant so I think the SE is a much better deal when a good sale pops up, or you have points to spare so you can enjoy right away. Show less

I recommend this game!

This one is very juvenile and graphics are hazy. Same type scenes repeat over and over. Suggest that they go back to the drawing board on this one and actually play Yard Sale Hidden Treasures Sunnyville. I so wish this game were a spin off of that one. This one bored me after about 10 minutes. No point to the game really but might keep a young child entertained a little while. Show less

I don't recommend this game.

Could the Devs make the objects any smaller? I'm thinking no. I actually had to adjust my screen resolution to try and see the pieces. Less atmosphere and more quality of game play, please!

I might have enjoyed this if it had a relaxed mode. As it was, the items are small and the descriptions are confusing. I don't like losing stars! Especially when the fault it the developers. The items needed less confusing descriptions, and the objects needed to be larger. Those issues made the game stressful instead of enjoyable. I'm not going to play a game that is stressful.

This is a search and rescue game. You look and you can't see. Someone throw me a life preserver! Rescue this game!!!

The objects that you find in this Yard Sale are tiny, faded, BUT, after playing and wearing out the Hint button you can select Treasure Hunt where there are various puzzles: Find gloves and shoes (always the same stuff) or find the dolls. (these were the only 2 search games) No real variation. Same o Same o.

Turning squares to make the picture. (not sure what are called). Those were okay.

Swaping squares to make a complete picture. Fun.

The only one I really liked is the round "target" rings, that you turn to make the picture. This was fun, because you do a lot of turning. If you selected one ring, there is a ship, and it matches the next ring, but doesn't fit the picture. So you have to turn to find the right ring.

They also have jigsaw puzzles. They were okay, not much of a challenge since the picture is displayed as the background.

The original Yard Sale was better drawn, and the objects were bright and visible. And it followed a story.

This one had tiny obscure objects and Find the Difference that was cheesy. I hate using the hint, but it's necessary.
If only I had a magnifiying glass...

Play the demo and you'll know if this is a game for you. Show less

I don't recommend this game.
