I haven't played a TM game this fun for quite some time. I love everything about this game with the exception that I could care less about the CE extras and the price tag that comes along with it. If there's a good sale however, I'm on it! This is a hard game to describe, it's different, but the same!?

I haven't played a TM game this fun for quite some time. I love everything about this game with the exception that I could care less about the CE extras and the price tag that comes along with it. If there's a good sale however, I'm on it! This is a hard game to describe, it's different, but the same!?

The storyline actually pulls you in, which is really quite exceptional for a TM game. Rose Riddle was abandoned at an orphanage when she was just a baby, so she never knew her parents, who they were or even if they are still alive. One fateful day she receives a letter telling her to search for the answers she seeks on Route 66. So off she goes on a trip in search of her parents, but things suddenly get real when she's swept away by a tornado in Kansas. Rose Riddle has found herself in a strange world full of fairytale creatures!

Fairytale characters you meet along the journey will help you once you help them of course. The story is kept in your journal and with each level, you first collect resources, repair bridges, build farms, all the usual TM tasks. Once you have found the items and completed the tasks, you refer to the journal to investigate.

Some of the levels switch from outdoors, to inside the palace with several rooms to investigate, on several levels, which was actually kind of different and unusual. The fairytale characters you meet are interesting and it's fun to read what they have to tell you.

This Collector's Edition has 24 Trophies to earn, 5 Music Soundtracks, 4 Wallpapers, 17 Character Bios, Bonus Levels and a built in Strategy Guide. For me personally, these things don't interest me enough to warrant the price for a TM game, but if there's a sale before the SE is released, I'll definitely buy it, enjoy! Show less

I recommend this game!

I am over joyed with this awesome TM game. It is like nothing I've ever played before. It is very challenging to be able to get the levels in gold. The story line is awesome and funny. My first look at this TM and I said to my partner there's a new TM out you will love, I thought it was one of those shops or clinics TM.. How wrong I was, and we BOTH love this new TM.

I am over joyed with this awesome TM game. It is like nothing I've ever played before. It is very challenging to be able to get the levels in gold. The story line is awesome and funny. My first look at this TM and I said to my partner there's a new TM out you will love, I thought it was one of those shops or clinics TM.. How wrong I was, and we BOTH love this new TM. This TM's style of play will take a few levels to get used to so bare with it. You have to collect resources, build buildings, and do set tasks to get to the end of the level. So far each level has been totally different and each level has needed you to concentration more on one particular resource. After playing 3 levels i KNEW i had to buy this TM, I so cant wait to see more from this developer, and hopefully more Rose Riddle TM's. Show less

I like these 'clear the trail' TM games, but some are better than others. One thing that makes a worthwhile game to me is a sense of humour in the story-telling. So I have to say: how can you resist a game that references not only fairy-tales, but Casablanca and Back to the Future (as well as making fun of a certain POTUSA)?

This is such a darling story and the challenge increases as you level up. It is so entertaining I have to chuckle with each new character. Clever and witty to sat the least. Had to replay a few levels over and over to get the hang of it but well worth it. More enjoyable than frustrating as some TM games can be. Fell in love with it and hope they do more like this.

First things first. There is an untimed mode for relaxing play. The other modes are very challenging. The CE version has 14 extra levels to play plus some other goodies.

Unlike many TM games, it's easy to collect the resources you need to complete tasks. I always hate it when I have to wait and wait to get the necessary resources.

I didn't want to like this game. At first I thought it might be juvenile. Then I played it! I simply loved it so much that I got a credit for the regular edition and purchased the CE so I could play 12 more levels.
The characters are smart and funny, the graphics are great and the storyline is compelling and totally enjoyable. With several levels of difficulty, there is something for everyone.
There is even a friendship/budding romance. I hope that we see a long series of these games and hopefully a storyline that will develop into a Beauty and the Beast relationship.
I look forward to it and am ready to play more!
I highly recommend this game. Show less

In an era where hidden object-type games especially seem to blur together, we have a refreshingly silly themed TMR right here. At first, I thought, man this is hokey but after just a few levels, this game earned my respect and great liking, very easily. Love the interior and exterior game platforms, choice of where to go and what to pick up. Yes, there's chat-chat but a few quick clicks and you're off and running. And it does get tricky, even in Normal mode (there are Casual and Expert modes also). Gameplay is flawless and snappy on a gaming PC running the new 10 April 2018 Windows.

A minor beef: this is a modern era, even though the game is maybe in the Wizard of Oz age--the uber dev also brings us the marvelous Moai series where men and women built and cleared equally but um, not here. Still, it can be part of your strategy if you think about it.

A really cool game, I for sure recommend it for a refreshing and challenging change. Show less
