One of the reasons I love this Match 3 series is that I have to use strategy in order to master the levels. This isn't a Match 3 game where you blindly swap tiles at a breakneck speed. This is a game that's all about the coins, nothing else really matters, but getting to the coins is where the strategy comes into play, and the addiction that follows.

One of the reasons I love this Match 3 series is that I have to use strategy in order to master the levels. This isn't a Match 3 game where you blindly swap tiles at a breakneck speed. This is a game that's all about the coins, nothing else really matters, but getting to the coins is where the strategy comes into play, and the addiction that follows.
You can play in a Relaxed mode as well as Limited Moves or Limited Time, and you can switch between modes on different levels to help you beat difficult levels. Eventually, you will be given the option to skip a difficult level without penalty, after several replay attempts, and in the Bonus Levels, you will receive interactive hints after 10 replay attempts.
The Cursed House is filled with evil spirits, that can only be banished by an ancient Amulet. The Amulet can only be powered by collecting hundreds of coins, so once again, this cursed house needs cleansing of its domain of evil spirits.
Large matches will give you a Power-up, and power-ups are critical, because most coins are blocked by obstacles that require a power-up to destroy them. A match 4 will give you Dynamite to explode by moving it or double clicking. A match 5 will give you a Morphing Power-up to choose either a Rocket which targets obstacles, Lightning which destroys all identical tiles match with, or a Dynamite Barrel. You can choose the power-up by clicking as it morphs, and if you chose the wrong one, you can cancel it by right clicking.
Levels with Trunks require you to collect Trunk Coins, when all trunk coins have been found, you need to make a match adjacent to the trunk or trunks that will vibrate to alert you that all trunk coins have been located. Once the trunks are opened, you receive bonuses and other parts of the board are unlocked.
Some levels have Cannons that require you to make matches next to the wick to fire the cannon to start a chain reaction, some cannons are locked and you must make matches in front of the key to allow the key to move towards the lock. Firing the cannon also opens up other parts of the board.
There are several types of coins besides the gold coins and trunk coins, Dusty coins that need two matches, coins that are split in half requiring matches in front of the pieces to join the two halves. Coins that need filled in by collecting falling drops of liquid or gold by dropping them off the board to fill a vial. Bug coins need to be collected to get rid of pesky bugs that annoy you, and Red bugs need to be pushed off of the board because they are invulnerable to power-ups.
Some tiles have obstacles such as boarded tiles, some boarded tiles have shields that require matches made on the sides without the shield for more challenge. There are Stone tiles, Lava tiles, Chained tiles, ice tiles, Rock tiles and Fog tiles that require either a match adjacent to them, most but not all obstacles can be destroyed with lightning explosions or bombs. There are even Green and Red Hot Stone tiles that require matches on top to destroy them. Torches will spread the flame as adjacent matches are made, which needs to reach frozen tiles or flameless torches. The Ray of Light shoots a beam of light to destroy the Darkness, but a path must be cleared first.....the not so easy scenario!
After playing a few levels, you get to play a Mini Game such as Higher/Lower Solitaire that has an extra slot to store any face up card to use in a match later and unblock cards on the board. There are also Hidden Object Scenes and one of my favorite games, Spot The Difference which has very subtle differences and wasn't as easy as you'd expect.

The variety of games, number of levels and the challenge offered are all good. I like the differences in Cursed House from the usual Match 3s, There seem to be minor similarities to Laruaville in this one and House 4, but it matters not. Still lots of fun for me and will take advantage of today's sale, for my growing collection of Cursed Houses.

This series is one of my favorites - they are always a "must have" for me. Each one has some changes and improvements over the previous one. If the storyline is good, that's a plus; but I would buy the Cursed House games regardless of the storyline. It's the match 3 part that is so wonderful. It is quite similar to the Laruaville series and I buy all of them, too. They are so different and unique ...Show more

It is quite similar to the Laruaville series and I buy all of them, too. They are so different and unique from other match 3 games. If you are new to either series, you really need to be aware of how to play them. Otherwise, you probably won't enjoy them at all and you will quit out of total frustration. Show less

I'm another fan of the Cursed House series and this one doesn't disappoint! Challenging (you need to make strategic moves) without being frustratingly difficult and great fun to play. It's not your run-of-the-mill M3 game and I highly recommend you give the demo a try to see for yourself.

I saw this and almost bought it immediately, but decided to play the demo first just in case it isn't as good. Not loving the graphics this time around. I also don't care for storylines that you can't skip easily. It does have a skip intro, but it takes a while to come up. However, I'm still going to buy it because I love this series.
