She now must restore the fairy tale kingdom the witch has destroyed. Help the Fairy Godmother find her magic wand, get rid of the evil witch, and break the curse.Solve puzzles, help your favorite fairy tale characters, and collect magical artifacts.

This game is chock full of fun characters like Captain Hook, The Fairy Godmother, Peter Pan and more! The graphics are beautiful and colorful and there is plenty to do in each scene. The HOS are mostly list finds but also find 10 items of this or that. Lot's of clever mini games, simple enough for kids and fun enough for adults. The one I enjoyed the most was using colored thread to embroider a rug with several pictures to match with the thread. If you just want to chillax and play a fun game then give this one a try, you might be surprised as well, enjoy! Show less

Dream Hills: Captured Magic is a charming new addition [albeit a 'soft release' and very family friendly]. I even plan to buy with a coupon code and play it myself on a lackluster day when I need a little peaceful reprieve from demanding graphics and gameplay.
Speaking of graphics, they are well-rounded and vivid sketchy scenes... easy on the eyes [as a fairy tale game should be]. The H0G's [at least in the demo] were a little too well blended for my liking, yet since this is probably geared toward a younger crowd, that shouldn't be a problem [or one can simply adjust resolution on pc].
The environmental background sound is pleasant and cheerful....
I found playing this game a welcome hiatus from the ombre moods so prevalent in many games offered these days... it's like like a breath of fresh air [and many of us need that sometime or another no matter our age!?].
Though I enjoy all themes of gaming, it would be nice to see more of these lighter, cheery games offered us, perhaps with just a dash more adult appeal.
Thanks BFG & Dev (PopCap).
Enjoy. : ) Show less

After getting the impression it was one for the children - the more I got into it, surprisingly the challenge was there. I played the Beginner mode and the hints were helpful not just for finding an object but for navigational assistance. The puzzles were different and could be skipped after about 30secs.

Alot of "handholding" if you need it and the Magic Book pretty much guides you along the way which helps because there isn't a map or a Walkthrough. Only negative I can add is that some of the objects were impossible to find and even after selecting the hint button I still thought it was somewhat obscure.
If you want something extremely compelling and challenging. then this game's not for you. Any game that's not dark and sinister is for me. Basically a cute, fun relaxing holiday game. Show less

This was a fun game. Full of adventure. It wasn't too hard, and the hint button works great to give you clues to the next place to go. Without that I would have been stuck. Most people have mentioned this is a kids game. It could be if it weren't for the fact that Snow White is a Black Dominatrix.

This was a fun game. Full of adventure. It wasn't too hard, and the hint button works great to give you clues to the next place to go. Without that I would have been stuck. Most people have mentioned this is a kids game. It could be if it weren't for the fact that Snow White is a Black Dominatrix. That one character just doesn't fit and I wish they had used a different model. How do you explain to kids that the woman in a black bustier with a whip is really Snow White? Other than this the game is fun, there are so many puzzles and pieces to put together and so many great places to visit and gather items. Find them in hidden object scenes. Return items. Paint a picture, file off teeth, make a mold, give life to the gingerbread man, make bread dough, grow magic flowers, find the prince statue, free the dwarfs, open the safe, play the cup game with cheating pirates. The list is endless! The puzzles weren't overly hard and can be skipped. The hint is awesome, it lets you know where to go and what to do. The journal also keeps track of tasks (and history). The graphics are wonderful, the game flow is logical, the music is background and not obtrusive. I truly enjoyed playing this game. It's a light hearted adventure to get your magic wand back from the evil witch who stole it from you. All of the fairy tale critters helped to hide it and were punished, so each step you free them while they lead you on a merry chase to find your wand and destroy the evil witch! Show less

I tried the demo & got hooked, Really cute playful storyline. I am so tired of the dark & eerie HO games. Was great to have one I could enjoy. I don't do too many reviews but had to say something good about this one. Wish Big Fish had more of this kind. There were times I wish I had a walkthrough, but I eventually figured it out.

I tried the demo & got hooked, Really cute playful storyline. I am so tired of the dark & eerie HO games. Was great to have one I could enjoy. I don't do too many reviews but had to say something good about this one. Wish Big Fish had more of this kind. There were times I wish I had a walkthrough, but I eventually figured it out. Since this doesn't release until tomorrow there was no help anywhere but if I can figure it out anyone can. LOL I recommend this game for those who liked the lighthearted slight humor in a HOG. If you like the HOG where you go from one person/item to another to find items you'll like it, but if you don't....well then you won't. LOL My suggestion, is to try it, it's a free demo hour, and enjoy! Show less

As you can see from the title, I had only one gripe - my hours worth of progress when trying the demo was completely erased when the demo hour was up and it shut down the game. The game itself is great. Whimsical, charming storyline, music and graphics. It's better looking than the preview screens make it appear. Definitely worth a try - but be sure to SAVE YOUR GAME!!! >.<

I downloaded the trial and before I knew it my time ran out. As it so happened I had a couple of free game coupons and bought it so I could continue playing. A really good game. I am not the expert player and when too hard I have to keep referring to walkthrough to continue. This one is easier, but with still some challenge. Great value for a standard edition game.
