The first seal you will find on Level 3 in Beach Bar scene. Remember you will find either a FLAG or a SEAL in a scene, they both won’t appear at the same time, they appear one by one as long as you progress in a game. When you start a location it says on the dialog box what you will have to look for SEAL or A FLAG, and when you are playing a scene then it also show an empty slot on the top, what ...Show more

When you start a location it says on the dialog box what you will have to look for SEAL or A FLAG, and when you are playing a scene then it also show an empty slot on the top, what you will have to look for in that particular scene, once you find it then that slot will be full. Hope it helps.:):):) Show less

I play all Vacation Paradise games This one is a bit harder. But also, I love the magnifying glass. It really helps finding those well hiding objects. It's well worth the money because it takes a while to finish the game.

I recommend this game!

Per the reviews I read I did try the demo first. What I found was that every thing appears just slightly small than usual so stuff might be harder to find. I haven't used the hint yet. Each location is jam packed with lots of stuff so maybe harder to find. I liked it and I purchased it.

I recommend this game!

Lately there has been a slump in Mac games that I have wanted to buy on Big Fish. I don't like HOPAs all that much.

Lately there has been a slump in Mac games that I have wanted to buy on Big Fish. I don't like HOPAs all that much. I have purchased every single Point 8 game released on this site for Mac so far, because this developer provides huge value for money despite some niggling little quirks and issues I have with them. I can spend hours and hours in their games and virtually no other developer comes as close to that.

I am pleased to say that this installment does not disappoint. I was slightly miffed with the one on France, because I live in France and I think they could have chosen some better pictures for some things, like the cafés and such (like why no interior of some of the beautiful art deco cafés or something like the iconic Café de la Paix?). The advantage here is that I don't know Florida, so I can't complain too much about that. So far the scenes I have looked at are beautiful and interesting, much more nature-oriented.

The other thing I noticed are the improvements that fix some issues I had previously.

For example, the magnifying glass is now a true toggle: you click on it to activate it, then you can click on the objects you want to find to your heart's content. When you're done with it, you click on the magnifying glass again and it closes. You can also now use it in conjunction with the sparkly areas whereas in the past, you could not.

Another thing I noticed is that the find-the-differences game has been changed to be more challenging. It's more in line with some other games where you truly have to find small differences like color changes or a small tweak to something rather than just clicking on objects that are different between the scenes. That was a quibble of mine before.

Otherwise, the game is pretty much the same as before, only in Florida rather than in France or California.

For me it's a purchase, so I recommend it, unless someone is sick of travel games. I have only played the demo, but already wanted to give a good score for this game because I want to get it and also tell other players that the magnifying glass quirk has been fixed! Show less

I recommend this game!

I loved this game. I agree some objects are hard to find, but what's the point if there isn't a challenge. My hubby and I like these hunt and click kinda games.

I recommend this game!

I have been waiting eagerly for this game, checking every day to see if it was out. And it doesn't disappoint. In my opinion these are the best hidden object games out there.

Enjoyable "Vacation Paradise" HOG. In the same family as "Adventure Trip". A couple of reviewers noted that the hidden items appeared smaller than usual. Perhaps, but I have bad eyes and rarely need the magnifier or the HINT, though I may take a little longer than usual to find everything.

Enjoyable "Vacation Paradise" HOG. In the same family as "Adventure Trip". A couple of reviewers noted that the hidden items appeared smaller than usual. Perhaps, but I have bad eyes and rarely need the magnifier or the HINT, though I may take a little longer than usual to find everything.
This may be an advantage in later years as you replay the game. And, unlike in some HOG games, the magnifier can also be used in the zoom scenes.
It is true that the items to be found are similar across all games, but this has not lessoned my enjoyment at all.
Bright and colorful scenes. I would have liked to seen more famous, specific-to- Florida places. Though, I am sure they are conscious of trademark violations. Show less

It is a very challenging game and yes some of the items are small(ish) but were they any bigger and easier to find, then the complaints would come in that it's too easy and a game for children. I've rarely had to use the magnifier, but that's what it's there for. Originally I too was looking for the seal sea creature until I found a State seal.

Having lots of fun with this game and the music is pretty cool, one of the rare games where I keep the music on while playing. The graphics are amazing too. Show less
