This might have more minigames than any other Big Fish game I’ve played! And they certainly aren’t all of the “rotational” variety. You’ll encounter mazes, paintings, maps, spot the differences, block placement, sewing, potions and many more.There are a large number of HOPs, and those too are significantly diverse. I don’t think a single one was the boring “word list” format. My personal favorite was opening gifts to find matching shadows (you’ll see what I mean).Although this is an older game from ERS, it still has a teleporting map and customizable difficulty. You’ll have a couple helpers as you traverse the engaging storyline. The soundtrack and use of special audio effects is amazing.There are two collectibles: glass containers and tarot cards. The containers teach you about the history of chess. The tarot cards will tell your fortune as an “extra” after you win a matching game. Other extras include a match 3 game and EIGHT large jigsaw puzzles.The only thing I found irritating was the stilted voiceovers, but that was minor.This game was a wonderful discovery in the Labor Day sale, and I hope others find it too.

I've been buying BF games for years and have come to rely on your reviews (thanks for the spider shout outs, I hate spiders!). I purchased this one and like the others you all have given good reviews for, I like it. I'm also on the east coast so these games are helping with cabin fever.Thanks again for taking the time to review the games so thoroughly and thoughtfully. It's appreciated.

Enjoyed the game completely. Thank you to the programmers and designers for the good graphics and story line. I liked the tabs at the top and the ability to move using the map or portals. I had to use the hints more than once which means it was awesome!!!

Though the game is written in fairy tale style, it's cute. The hint is helpful, and necessary since, as always, you're going from room to room in search of the next thing to do. The map allows teleporting but no indication of where you need to go! The puzzles were okay, but not difficult. But, as with all the BF games, it's too expensive! When the intro price comes down, I'll probably buy.
