Ratings and reviews

Quality game as expected from Wooga, no pressure because there's no limit on play. Very nice graphics, actually decent story line and writing, but easy to skip if that's not your thing. My only real quibble is way the map resets on Jackson Square after each level is played, but that's minor. I do miss being able to collect buildings & decorate like June's Journey, but also know that makes no sense in context!

3 stars isn't to say the game is bad. Game is average, thus it gets 3 stars. If you've played any free to play hidden object game, you've played this one. But, if you love a f2p hidden object game and wish it didn't have microtransactions or ads, then this one is for you. Since this was obviously intended to be a f2p, microtransaction heavy game, it doesn't do anything innovative, graphics and music are serviceable but not eye-catching, and cutscenes are very brief. That can be a plus for some.

I really enjoy the game, with the variances in each scene and location. However, I gave 3 stars as the game startup is extremely slow or hangs altogether. I have to restart the game multiple times til it sorts out. It's pretty frustrating when I need a few minutes just to get into the game.
