If you like the dark stories where you keep retracing your steps hidden object games, then this is not for you.
This is bright with clear graphics and you go from one scene to the next -- all different.
You have to match what a customer wants to what you are selling. Sometimes you have to move an object to see another object. Though there is a timer, it just affects if you get bonus points.
There are variations in the different scenes on how you match the hidden objects, i.e. if a customer wants a pair of shoes (for which you see a picture), you might have to click on each individual shoe to make a pair.
You have to try it to see what I mean. Show less
I recommend this game!

I really liked this game! Some graphics are lower resoltuion but it didn't matter to me it was the game play I enjoyed!. This game is just Hidden Objects but some levels were very difficult and you had to play against the clock. The game is very straight forward and does not really have a storyline. If you are up for a challenge and want to test your memory under pressure, give the game a try.

I loved this game so much that I played it over and over. I have hundreds of games and have only played about five of them more than once. This one was different from other HOGs. I loved the balloon matches and the surfboard matches. You had to match jewelry and CD's and their covers. The last board you had to match shoes, jewelry and other things.
I recommend this game!

This can be a challenging game on the upper levels. The beginning levels are easy but gradually they get tougher and tougher.
I think this game came out years ago and the graphics do look dated but the game was so engaging for me I didn't notice after awhile. On one level you had different panels of items to find, like watches, jewelry and had to remember which one had what. The customer will ask

I think this game came out years ago and the graphics do look dated but the game was so engaging for me I didn't notice after awhile. On one level you had different panels of items to find, like watches, jewelry and had to remember which one had what. The customer will ask for certain things and you have to find/remember where they are.
It was a big memory challenge while the clock is ticking. One level I played over and over until I could beat the clock. You don't have to beat the clock to advance but I really enjoyed finishing the levels before the clock ran out. The balloon level is one of my favorites! This game has no story it is just hidden object scenes, but this thing was a blast!

Either everyone else is quicker than I am; or I'm getting too old for this! This game was much too fast-paced for me even at the lowest level. Not fun for me at all. I enjoy the Gardenscapes genre.
When you are racing against the clock; and some of the items are small or not clearly defined, it's a real strain on the eyes.

I quit at the balloon challenge. That was just too outrageous for me! Try the demo and see what I'm talking about.
If you're looking for a game that is a super challenge, this one is for you. If you don't mind, I'll just sit and watch.
I recommend this game!

Ok, I got past the balloon level to the surf board level and beyond. As I went to the next level and loaded I decided that I'd rather return to the main menu and quit.

Ok, I got past the balloon level to the surf board level and beyond. As I went to the next level and loaded I decided that I'd rather return to the main menu and quit. Where, how, I was trapped in the game and I wanted out. Now, I've been playing for at least 50-55 min. on my free trial. How in the blank do I get out of here??? The only way out was to let the timer and let the trial run out. Good, at least it stopped. Rest of the game was ok. The color was great, but the sound was annoying. So, even though the game was pretty good, I just didn't buy it. It's not like putting a "main menu" button in the game play is hard. And, it's not like I'm exactly new to game playing. I have over 50 BF games. Show less
I don't recommend this game.

The title says it all really. The game is a good concept (kind of reminded me of the 'HO scenes in games like 'farmington tales', in that you had to find items for cash. The problem was the time meters for the customers went down very quick and the items were small, and some blended in a little too well with the surroundings, on top of this some items were obscured so you had to move as well as the other problems listed.
Another problem was that if you got several bonus items for a 'bonus customer' the timer went down quicker each time and after about the third or fourth time the 'collect' bubble didn't go off the screen so that you can see the next item, thus stopping your bonus for that customer.
I can't really say too many positives for this game, the concept was good, and the music was ok (didn't get too annoying, but then I could only manage around 15 minutes), the story-line was a bit iffy, but TM story-lines are never the best.
Overall I would not recommend this game unless you had really really good eyes. Show less
