When I see this developers name come up connected with a M3, I can already guess its liable to be of good quality, and they have changed enough features from others in a series to make it feel new.

When I see this developers name come up connected with a M3, I can already guess its liable to be of good quality, and they have changed enough features from others in a series to make it feel new.

Some features of this game will be hauntingly familiar (pun) if you have played their other games, but there are new tiles, new side games and new decorations. There is relax, timed and challenge mode...and then expert or casual to choose as well. There are trophies..to be found in the magic book, and even though you are playing for decorations of your spooky house (which are quite cartoon like)...it's really just the fun of the gameplay that sells it to me.

You will start in a 3d scene of hidden object you must arrow around to find your list items, and it has a hint. As does the jigsaw puzzle I played. There ARE spiders lol...but they are just a tile and not the creepy type that cover your board so you cant play it. Just cute little guys that you can match like every other tile. Sometimes your first board has an arrow...and you have a second to complete..(but the timer resets too)

All in all. A really smooth game with lots of crash bang sound effects, bonuses and lots of choices on how easy or hard you make it on yourself. There is just a bit too much dialogue for me, but you can skip it..(and the puzzles and games too if you want)

Totally enjoyable for me...and passes the smile while you play test. Try the demo, but it's an SE so good value for an entertaining time. Enjoy! Show less

I recommend this game!

I have a lot of this developers games and although the mechanics are a bit similar they have added enough to keep me happy.

And this year My Halloween will likely be in lockdown so no trick or treaters to look forward too.

I love they have added mini games and the first one involves finding creatures etc in a 3d scene which I really enjoyed.

8 mini games are spread through the game.

For me the graphics to the match 3 seem clearer and they have managed to make this a very enjoyable Halloween journey. You can even change the items you buy free of charge lol.

Try the demo but do not give up after 5 minutes as it does improve and a warning, spiders galore in this one ,

For me, a great game. Show less

I recommend this game!

Love this series. It has a choice of difficulties whether it's moves, timed or relaxed. It's challenging if you play expert. Easy on the eyes. Was happy to see this offered this morning.

I recommend this game!

The graphics are nice for Halloween, the music is the same as their other magic game but the graphics are nicely haunting. The demo draws you in & you think it is going to be super easy. Well it isn't once you really get into the game, it gets more challenging. I haven't figured out the use of the canons, how to set them off. They are not like other games with a canon to use.

Well it isn't once you really get into the game, it gets more challenging. I haven't figured out the use of the canons, how to set them off. They are not like other games with a canon to use. These blow up blocked areas. Then there are jigsaw puzzles later in the game. A nice little twist. Show less
