I didn´t bother reading the story. I was more interested in finding objects. The graphics are wonderful and sometimes very challeging, especially if you want to have more hints (which you can achieve finding three coins - 3 coins= 1 hint). I liked the timed mini games (find 20 objects). You can play it over and over in case if you don´t find all objects.
It is a nice way to kill time.

I recommend this game!

This is a tough HOG in my opinion, partly because the objects are tiny, hard to see and well hidden and also because of the time constraint for each chapter. The Match 3 games are also timed. There are no puzzles/mini games except for the Match 3 boards.

This is a tough HOG in my opinion, partly because the objects are tiny, hard to see and well hidden and also because of the time constraint for each chapter. The Match 3 games are also timed. There are no puzzles/mini games except for the Match 3 boards.

The storyline has the heroine searching for her daughter, current boyfriend and old boyfriend throughout an island that has a currently quiet volcano. As the story unfolds, it appears that the old boyfriend kidnapped the daughter to get help in finding a jewel (of course) of great value described in ancient legends. Messing with the jewel has a direct impact on the volcano.

For each chapter, there are several list-type HOS. Hidden in some of the scenes are pieces of the jewel board which you must find in order to play the ending Match 3 game that caps off each chapter. The time constraint is not by location, but applies to completing the chapter. If time runs out, you have to start over at the very beginning of the chapter. This happened to me many times through the game.

Finding medallions in the scenes add to available hints, but there were never enough hints for me to be able to finish within the time limit. I finally developed a strategy of playing each scene quickly, finding all the objects I could without too much trouble, accumulating as many hints as I could along the way. Then I would go back to the scenes where I had not found all the objects and use the hints to finish the scene. Even though the same locations were visited over and over, there were so many available objects in each scene that there was very little to memorize in a scene for faster play the next time around.

Each scene also contains several jewels that need to be collected. These jewels are used to purchase power-ups for the Match 3 boards. The Match 3 boards were also challenging, with each one having a different kind of obstacle to overcome in addition to the timer.

I found this game to be challenging and it easily held my interest. Show less

I recommend this game!

I liked the game but i didn't like the timer. I got timed out and had to do 3 levels all over again. The only good side to that was i now knew where most of the hidden objects were in those levels so i was able to fly through them.

I recommend this game!

This is basically a HO game with many levels, and at each level there are a couple of other puzzles, including a jewel board puzzle. There is no untimed option however, which creates a ton of pressure as you get farther along in the game. Each level gets longer and harder. This game is complex enough to be interesting.

This is basically a HO game with many levels, and at each level there are a couple of other puzzles, including a jewel board puzzle. There is no untimed option however, which creates a ton of pressure as you get farther along in the game. Each level gets longer and harder. This game is complex enough to be interesting. You have to find the hidden objects, but you're also looking for hidden jewels and coins in each scene. The coins will buy you extra hints, while the jewels will buy you upgrades to use while you're trying to finish the jewel board at the end of each level. I had to do each level twice because I ran out of time every single time. The second effort was easier because some of the HO's were the same and I knew where they were. You only have a few hints, and it's easy to run out of them. If you get to the jewel board and run out of time, you only have to start that part over again, not the whole level. After trying some of the harder jewel boards 4 or 5 times, the game finally offers you a skip button for that part. I think games like this should offer an untimed option. That would make a world of difference and this game would be enjoyable. If you don't mind playing under lots of pressure, this would be a good game. Because I definitely don't enjoy playing that way, I can't recommend the game. Show less

I don't recommend this game.

If you love hidden object games, then this game is for you.

You have:

~ Voiceovers
~ Diary
~ Rules board
~ Score board.

BE CAREFUL. Because it is on a timer, if you don't complete all the stages of a level before the time is up, then it starts back at the beginning - AS I SOON FOUND OUT! When the timer is getting low, then I start to panic because I don't want to go back to the beginning again, ...Show more

BE CAREFUL. Because it is on a timer, if you don't complete all the stages of a level before the time is up, then it starts back at the beginning - AS I SOON FOUND OUT! When the timer is getting low, then I start to panic because I don't want to go back to the beginning again, so I use all my hints cause some of the items are really hard to see. I hate using hints on any game, but you will really need to use them in this game. The timer cannot be turned off.

There are a mixture of puzzles, find 20 items and jewel boards, so there is something for everyone. I enjoyed doing the puzzles and jewel boards.

The graphics are okay, albeit a little dated, but then it is quite an old game.

I thought this would be a good game in play in between all the other big grunty games I play, just like the earlier Jewel Quest Match 3 games, but this game is hard to play and you really have to concentrate.

Overall, I will play this game again at some stage - definitely not when I'm tired. Show less

I recommend this game!

It's hard enough to play a timed game that involves mostly hidden object scenes but it's also timed while you're playing the mini-games (pipe connection, Match3) and the clock runs continuous for ALL locations -- meaning that if you're given 42 minutes for 10 locations PLUS the mini-game.

It's hard enough to play a timed game that involves mostly hidden object scenes but it's also timed while you're playing the mini-games (pipe connection, Match3) and the clock runs continuous for ALL locations -- meaning that if you're given 42 minutes for 10 locations PLUS the mini-game.

In addition to that, it's very difficult to find the hidden objects due to the lack of scene clarity and it's also very difficult to find the 3 coins in each scene to provide you with an additional hint. On top of that, whatever number of hints that you've got and add to -- THAT'S IT and there'll be no more until you finish the chapter which consists of several locations (10 I think, maybe more).

One good thing about the mini-games, though, is that you're able to skip them; you've got to do the Match3 mini-game at least 2x before the game will ask if you want to quit.

Although I did manage to complete the game, it was tense the whole time and therefore, not enjoyable. Show less

I don't recommend this game.
