This was one of the first games that I had bought when I first joined Big Fish. However for some reason, I didn't play it until the sequel came out. Well, now that I have played it I can't wait to play the new one. This game was totally awesome!!! I loved the storyline, the graphics were excellent, loved the music.

This was one of the first games that I had bought when I first joined Big Fish. However for some reason, I didn't play it until the sequel came out. Well, now that I have played it I can't wait to play the new one. This game was totally awesome!!! I loved the storyline, the graphics were excellent, loved the music. It was a bit of a challenge but not so hard that I got frustrated. The HO scenes were clear and not very small. I played the game through in a day and played the bonus content. It was well worth my time. I don't think I have enjoyed a game this much in a long time. It is one that I will replay and I would recommend it to everyone. There are 2 difficulty levels of play. Hints and sparkles if you choose. Good for both novice and expert players. Show less

I recommend this game!

I have to say this game was a lot of fun! It was very short though compared to its sister game (Spirits of mystery: song of the phoenix.) I have both games and both are collector's edition. I would recommend you not buy the CE for Amber maiden. The extras were not worth the money and the ending was poorly done (ended abruptly# with no feeling of an accomplished ending.

I have to say this game was a lot of fun! It was very short though compared to its sister game (Spirits of mystery: song of the phoenix.) I have both games and both are collector's edition. I would recommend you not buy the CE for Amber maiden. The extras were not worth the money and the ending was poorly done (ended abruptly# with no feeling of an accomplished ending. Song of the phoenix has a very cute ending in the CE #I wanted to pull that cutie out of the screen I tell ya hee-hee-hee) Amber Maiden had A LOT of HOG where as Song of the phoenix had more of a variety of games, puzzles and hog. Both games are worth having in anyone’s collection that likes HO/adventure games. Show less

I didn't have many expectations when I got this game to be honest, but it proved to be way better than I thought!
Obviously *points at username* I LOVE playing as a princess. Ever since I was little, like many other girls, I loved fantasy worlds. This game was so much fun because of that.

I didn't have many expectations when I got this game to be honest, but it proved to be way better than I thought!
Obviously *points at username* I LOVE playing as a princess. Ever since I was little, like many other girls, I loved fantasy worlds. This game was so much fun because of that.

STORY: A kingdom is cursed and its inhabitants are trapped in amber by an evil witch. You, being a baby, are saved by your nanny and raised to learn of your royal origins at a later date. You go back through a portal and try to save your parents, the king and queen, and stop the evil witch. The story is a classic medieval fairytale. You have magic, castles, potions and everything you need to make yourself feel like a princess.
GAMEPLAY: Very smooth scene changing, you can chose difficulty. The journal saves important information, also the story. As a player I enjoy checking my journal, since I like playing from the perspective of my character. It's a classic adventure game with plenty of mini-games inside. I can't say if the game was short or not, because I playd it without a break and finished it in about 2-3 hours without using hints or skipping puzzles.
GRAPHICS&SOUND: The game offers exceptional visual quality. Professional digital painted scenes. The colors are vibrant and realistic. It doesn't make your eyes tired. The colors used for everything reflect the medieval times you're in. It offers animations for every cut scene and not only. The game has beautiful, non-disturbing music, the soundtrack being cut in multiple songs along the way, which I absolutely loved.
HOG&PUZZLES: The hidden objects scenes are quite easy. Now it depends how experienced the player's eye is, of course, but I found everything to be extremely easy to find. You also have some interaction between objects, you have to move stuff around to find some things. The puzzles were of easy to medium difficulty. You have some challenge in the game, but it focuses more on the adventure.
EXTRAS: You have a bonus gameplay where you have to destroy the evil you found at the end of the game. It's basically a short continuation of the main game. You also have the regular extras like music, wallpapers and concept art.

I absolutely loved this game and I'll definatelly get the second one Show less

This game is a beautiful made game as all the games from the same makers are.

Incredible graphics, story line and challenging puzzles and HOS.

Is worth every penny of it as a CE.

I recommend this game!

By far my favorite game. Made it through without skipping any puzzles. The music is enchanting and the story is engaging. The graphics are wonderful. Can't say enough good about it. Some may want more challenge . . but this was perfect for me.
The Collector's Edition is worth buying. The extra play was very satisfying.

I recommend this game!

I counted 35 hidden objects. 29 in the main game and 6 in the bonus. When I read reviews that there were a lot of hogs and I played the trial, I just had to have it. So many that most times there is one right after you finish one. I like sitting and looking at beautiful art filled page and click item from the list. It's relaxing. They use the same hop location more than once.

I counted 35 hidden objects. 29 in the main game and 6 in the bonus. When I read reviews that there were a lot of hogs and I played the trial, I just had to have it. So many that most times there is one right after you finish one. I like sitting and looking at beautiful art filled page and click item from the list. It's relaxing. They use the same hop location more than once.

I also enjoyed the puzzles. Not a lot of those but they were fun. Some examples are a Octopus that plays instruments and you have to copy what he does. Pick 3 pictures that relate to each other. Portrait puzzle, matching.

I also found the bonus chapter fun. Puzzles-ball in a maze. Click on symbols before they change.

This game is from 2012 I think. They did things different then.
Long wait on hints and skips. The hint won't lead you around. No Map. Not a lot of extras but they have a very good and detailed Strategy Guide that includes locations of Hops. 4 music tracks, 7 wallpapers, 3 screensavers and 13 concept art. No replay of hops or puzzles.

It worked fine on my system Windows 10- no problems.
7 Chapters + Bonus Chapter.

I don't think you will like it at all if you don't like Hidden Object Puzzles. Show less

I recommend this game!

I loved this game. The HOS had a few extra objects that were hidden. The mini-games were just right for me not too challenging but not too easy. I was able to figure them out as opposed to skipping. This is one of my favorite games. I didn't want to take a break.

I recommend this game!

This game is so much fun. You're a princess trying to save the kingdom from the curse of an evil witch. There are HOS, mini games and potions to keep you entertained on your journey.

This game is so much fun. You're a princess trying to save the kingdom from the curse of an evil witch. There are HOS, mini games and potions to keep you entertained on your journey. The HOS and mini games were excellent. The voice overs and cut scenes were well done. The background music was not too annoying. The ending was good. The bonus chapter was rather short, but loads of fun. It was definitely worth the price of a CE.

There is a journal which is helpful. There is no map, but you don't really need one.

My only annoyance with this game is they tipped their hand too early on the twist. I wish they had kept things hanging a bit longer.

Overall, I really enjoyed this game and highly recommend it. Show less

I bought this game after playing Song of the phoenix. I enjoyed both of them. Not too much back and forth and not that difficult to play. Good HO game. Worth the money.
