I liked this game a lot. It wasn't the typical Hidden Object, it also incorporated match 3 as well. The graphics were very nice, crisp clear, the characters are cute. It's a definite buy for me when I'm done the demo. Recommend this game!!

I recommend this game!

While the Princess is away, the rats will play. Morgana is back and wreaking havoc on Princess Ariana's kingdom, turning everything and everyone into ..... stone. Now, it's up to you to help the Princess restore her kingdom and deal with the evil Morgana ..... again.

While the Princess is away, the rats will play. Morgana is back and wreaking havoc on Princess Ariana's kingdom, turning everything and everyone into ..... stone. Now, it's up to you to help the Princess restore her kingdom and deal with the evil Morgana ..... again.

The graphics are good. There are no voice overs so everything has to be read. Really? In this day and age? Tsk tsk tsk - lol.

There are 3 levels of difficulty. I chose "casual" so I can get an idea of what's offered for beginners. There is an optional tutorial, which is very nicely done and a journal which contains useful story line and game play information. Our friend, "frog" the hint button is back as is Corvus, the white dove, who has delivered the Princess' magic amulet. The magic amulet can be used to make fire and burn things. YAY!

This is a combination match 3 and HOG (hidden object game). The match 3 part of the game is fun and fairly standard in game play. My level of difficult was not timed. That's NOT saying it was easy either - because some of the levels, even early on, were difficult to pass. The HOGs are fun, itemized list types. Sometimes, the items can be difficult to find. Sometimes, you are offered an alternative game to play - but only sometimes. Hmmmm.

I love the characters you meet along the way. I love the continuing story line. I love the balance of story, match 3s and HOGs. Well, I guess I LOVE this latest in the Far Kingdom series - lol.

This is a great game for beginners and experts alike. Not for the difficulty challenge but for the story and fun game play. It has true entertainment value and is a definite purchase for me.

Come along and join me in helping "frog", Corvus and Princess Ariana restore the Kingdom.

ENJOY! Show less

If you like Hidden Object Adventures, this game has you covered, if you like Match 3 games, this game still has you covered. The Princess has embarked on yet another adventure to defeat the evil sorceress, Morgana who has been turning people of the kingdom into stone. This is a very easy game to play, but quite honestly it is a nice change of pace. Once again the Princess is joined by a sultry frog who lounges upon the hint icon just in case you are in need of his services and Corvus the beautiful bird is at your service as well and serves as your go to guy. Corvus has returned your Amulet which can be used to torch just about anything.

What makes this game so unique is the method used for obtaining inventory items, which are Match 3 games. The inventory item you need is received by playing a Match 3 game to allow pieces of the item to fall off the board until all pieces are collected. Some tiles are blocked, requiring you to make matches next to the block to break the tile, some require you to make matches over all of the cells to clear them, and there are even floating boards where you make matches to clear a path from one side to the other. There doesn't seem to be any bonuses to earn to help with the Match 3 games, but you can shuffle the tiles up to three different times.

There are also lot's of Hidden Object Scenes, which are simple list finds or finding several of one type such as 17 butterflies. If you don't like HOS, you can still switch over to a Match 3 game instead. There are mini games available as well such as moving spiders around a web until they are in the matching colored slots, or moving crabs to their correct slots using directional arrows around a maze, but when you move one crab, the other crab moves as well. This game isn't going to please hard core Hidden Object gamers, but if you want to kick back and play a relaxing nautical themed game with pleasant music, this game will please you, enjoy! Show less

I recommend this game!

I like both Match 3 and Hidden Object games. I also like a good story. In this game I got all three.

I like both Match 3 and Hidden Object games. I also like a good story. In this game I got all three.
You play as a princess who finds her kingdom under the spell of an evil witch. You travel to different worlds to save your people and release them from the spell.
There are lots of different games and puzzles along the way with a simplistic storyline that is pleasant without the endless dialogue many gamers complain about.
The artwork was cartoonish but pleasantly colored - not too much, too dark, or to stark. There were three levels of play.
I enjoyed the Match 3 puzzles as many were very quick since you only had to free a single special object. Others were harder as you freed puzzle pieces to form an object you needed. Several did last quite awhile as you were collecting gems to power an amulet to defeat a villainous helper of the witch.
The HOs were clear and the lists were in very clear large print - something I appreciated as the game I played just before this one had the item names in what looked to be 8pt type on my huge monitor. There were also mini-games which varied from simplistic - line up the planets as in a diagram - to harder and more challenging ones.
You also collected items to mix into potions once you found the recipes.
I found this game fun and relaxing. This is the one you play for fun after you finish the newest rage. Please give it a try if you like Match 3 and HOs. You will be pleasantly surprised. Show less

Picked this up on a daily deal, & I'm glad I did. This game is very short; I finished it in less than 2 hours. What I loved though, was that it combined match 3 play with Hidden Object. To any of us who play these games often, you'd find that this one isn't much of a challenge. It was a nice way to kill a couple of hours. The mini-games were, for the most part, simple to understand & complete. ...Show more

I wouldn't give this game much of a rating for re-play value, unless of course you're into match 3. There's a good mix up in this game, but as I said before, really short. So enjoy! Show less

I thought the game was "fun". Seems like you just really got into the game and it is over. Come on. Give us a little longer play than this in a game. I am really happy I did not pay full price for this game or I would have been upset. Because of the length, I do not recommend this game. If it had been longer, I would have said yes, yes, yes.

I don't recommend this game.
