In the hidden object game Matchmaker: Joining Hearts, Helen Jones is a longtime veteran of love… not only is she happily married herself; she also managed to marry off five daughters and a son! And, after taking care of her youngest daughter’s love life she decided it’s time to retire and what place better to move to than a quiet seaside resort.

Although initially Helen worries about how she will occupy herself she soon finds herself applying her matchmaking skills, helping everybody and anybody who’s looking for love. Whether it’s a 35 year-old archeologist who needs to decide between two suitors, or a gorgeous fortuneteller who appears to be able to tell everybody’s fortune, except her own!

The game is divided into five different stages, each with unique hidden object scenes, plus a few mini-games thrown in to liven things up. Stage one is meeting with the client and understanding her/his needs and interests, which is basically an excuse for Helen to snoop around the client’s house a bit by matching the silhouettes of hidden objects in various rooms. Stage two is scoping out the potential candidates, paying them a visit to introduce herself and see for herself who they are, what they do for a living and what their hobbies are. This could be popping into a Photographers studio in the middle of a photo shoot or peeking around a Sea Captain’s boat while he is giving her a lift to the island.

Uh oh! It can’t be good news when Quinn’s mother comes knocking on her door, announcing she’s come to visit for a couple of weeks to help her dearest daughter plan her wedding. Granted, this doesn’t sound like a big drama, except for one small tiny detail: Quinn and Joe called off the wedding and “forgot” to tell mother. Oops!

In Wedding Dash 4-Ever, another chapter in the hugely popular Wedding Dash series, Quinn assists couples on their big day by coordinating, supervising and taking care of all the little details to make sure it runs smoothly. All the while, Quinn must contend with her mother not only driving her insane about her own “non” wedding, but also interfering in her already successful Wedding Planning Business!

We each get one day a year to celebrate ourselves. Today it’s planet Earth’s turn!

It’s the only planet we’ve got, so I for one love the growing global movement each year committed to celebrating the planet and remembering that we must all play our part and bring on that “green” attitude if we want our planet to thrive. So Happy Earth Day to us all! Enjoy playing some of our favorite “green” themed games.

Peace,
Michelle.

In Little Shop – Memories, you are moving from Main Street in Huntingdon to a new store in a sandy paradise. Although it may seem that all you need to start playing this classic hidden object game is your bathing suit and sunscreen, there is a small thing you must take care of before you can hit the road… cleaning out the attic! Probably not most people’s idea of fun, except for the fact that suddenly you find the birthday card Uncle Roy gave you and you start remembering how the $5 in the card helped you start your own Lemonade stand that summer. This of course takes you down memory lane and so the game begins…

The attic is full of bits and pieces, like a safe, a broken television and a bookcase, and each one of these 16 objects trigger a series of four memories plus a mini-game. Each memory is in a different location, like the family BBQ or summer camp and even the bike shop. And after each scene you receive a keepsake like an old photograph for your scrapbook, which tell a cute story or reminds you about a blast from the past.
