I often come back to this gem. It is soothing, the characters are fun, the various workouts are laugh aloud funny,the music is just right and it doesn't get too difficult too quickly.

I often come back to this gem. It is soothing, the characters are fun, the various workouts are laugh aloud funny,the music is just right and it doesn't get too difficult too quickly.

One of the best things about this TM is that it is not a tedious click and drag fest. Click the client and click the station and they will go by themselves. Your hired help also attends to their need all by themselves.

Your aim is to make all of your clients achieve Nirvana and to send them to the Nirvana room at the end of each level where you need to work out how to seat them so they achieve maximum Nirvana happiness, and you achieve extra points. Play until you have enough to pass the level or keep playing until you achieve Karma Guru Award on each level. You have 5 different spas to open and run, each with 10 levels so it's a good long game. As it progresses, it becomes more and more involved and a lot starts happening that conspires against you in the later levels.

Highly recommended and, I think, better than the Sally games. Show less

I recommend this game!

I have to say that this is one great game! Your challenge is to get the various clients to their stations and soothe them. Sounds easy? Not so much as the game progresses! I like the various stations that you can build and upgrade according to your money level.

I have to say that this is one great game! Your challenge is to get the various clients to their stations and soothe them. Sounds easy? Not so much as the game progresses! I like the various stations that you can build and upgrade according to your money level. An amusing part of the game is the way that the characters react to the various stations that they have chosen - from low impact machines, pools, hot rocks, and rock and roll gyro machines. Watch them stamp their feet if they're displeased or work out like crazy on the floor mats; you'll get a chuckle or two. The mini game between each round is the same: figure out who belongs next to whom in the zen room. Although the same, each is different and can be figured out without having to skip. If you like spa games that you don't have to click like crazy - just grab the client and place on the right station - then I think you'll be pleased with this game. The game also has great replay value. I can't think of anything wrong with the game, other than that last level - hectic! I highly recommend this game to other TM gamers! Show less

This game rocks!!! I think the graphics are some of the best on any of the TM games on here. It is one of my all time favorites. Waiting on more versions!! It is challenging and addictive. If you are a TMG lover, you gotta try it.

I recommend this game!

Being an avid Bigfish game player I tried this game and became very quickly hooked, I have purchased many games in the past from this site that I have usually completed within 1-2 days, not this game, I have finally completed it after 4 days, well worth the money in my opinion, challenging levels and hours of entertainment, the best purchase I have made in a long time

I recommend this game!

It's very pretty, addictive and fun to play. I wish it was a tad more challenging (There were only 3 levels where I had to replay to get the gold/diamond crowns) and that it was possible to have all stations on one level.

I recommend this game!

Since there has been a HUGE lack of time management games released, not to mention any that are unique in nature, I decided to peruse through some older games. I came across this gem and after a few minutes of game play bought it immediately. This game may have a similar theme when comparing game titles in this genre, but it is far from any other "spa" themed game I have tried. First off, the graphics aren't too cartoon-like like they are in other games. The overall graphics are original and enjoyable to watch. The characters personalities are much like Diner Dash, etc. with some that are patient and others that are not. The different spa stations are a riot to watch the characters interact with (reminds me of Dance Craze, another excellent time management game that is definitely in a class of its own). There is a good level of challenge with some of the levels needing several tries to get the gold crown. Overall, if you want something different from the same old time management games packaged under different titles, then you will love this game. Show less

Guru in the game looks suspiciously like every other Osho male sannyasin back in the 1980's
Balding Long hair etc Very amusing storyline to go along with the characters namely Sven the Guru
Who needs Osho when you have Rachel's Retreat?
I spent decades searching and meditating with no results
Played Rachel's Retreat one time and by the end of the game i was Enlightened!!

Gold in this game is represent by 3 stars you have to get all 3 to equate to gold
one of the stars is Gold so you can get a gold star and not get the other two stars and it wont be Gold star as we TM gamers refer to it
if you get my meaning..

2 stars you earn while playing the TM part of the game
the time management part is not so much a timer as it is your turn ends when you have served all the meditators or clients
After that you have to earn the third star by bringing all your guests into Enlightenment
with this many Enlightened Beings running around
Its Fantastic and brings world peace
Very fun game and while clicky i find it relaxing because of the theme and the audio
also Entertaining story which is lacking in many TM games
Good luck on the last level very last game!! Show less

This game came at a time I was hoping to find a game that would give me more play time and interest, and I'm glad because it actually is pretty cool. The upgrades are good, but I like the clever zen puzzle and the matchmaking bonus points. I relied on the special cha-chings to beat the best time or build that upgrade!

While this is a fun game and different from the others, it is at time quite difficult. I am an expert TM gamer and I had to repeat multiple levels and I totally gave up on the last one. I have no clue how anyone can complete that level. I liked the music which I usually turn off for all games and I didn't watch the storyline, so I can't comment on that.

I have no clue how anyone can complete that level. I liked the music which I usually turn off for all games and I didn't watch the storyline, so I can't comment on that. I didn't like though that when you build a station you can't go back and take it down or change it. I felt like the game cheated you in that way. You should be able to build a station and then change it later when your customers want something different. Overall I do think it was fun and I can see myself coming back to it again and again. Just maybe not that last level. Show less
