Continuing its Sweet Home series of Hidden Object and mini game puzzle solving offerings, Avi Games has developed version five of this product..  As with the previous titles in the series, you will be taken in a trip around a home environment.  This location will consist of various decorated rooms and a task based puzzle.  The individual elements will need to be tackled in sequence.

Each locations initial introduction will be presented in the form of a Hidden Object scene.  In some cases the scene may contain secret areas which are identified by an outbreak of sparkles.  These secret areas may hold certain items you will be required to find.  Scenes may also contain a set number of pet cats and dogs which do bring an additional rewards when they are found.

Accompanying the current scene will be an overlaid panel which will list the required items that need to be found.  The listed items could be presented in text format, an image or in silhouette format.  Whatever the format, you will also be provided with a zoom and hint options to use when necessary.  In certain cases the required list will be supplemented by a few extra items in image format that can be found.

Once the Hidden Object's scene has been completed, you will be faced by a mini game puzzle.  This puzzle, which will be randomly selected, will vary in type and complexity.  You could be asked to follow instructions as you construct a tractor from elements or create a meal from different ingredients.  In both type of tasks you will need to pair appropriate items prior to bringing the various elements together in order to complete the process. 

More regular type mini game puzzles will include spotting the differences between two similar scenes or rearrange the checkers on a board so that they all sit on light coloured cells.  Switching the heads of cats to fit the correct body is another type of puzzle.  Rather than complete a jigsaw puzzle, you could be asked to remove all the individual pieces of the jigsaw that are not blocked by other pieces enabling you to slide them out.

Rewards in the form of points will be given for completing Hidden Object scenes and the various puzzles.  These points will be automatically converted to coins which can be used to finance the purchase the different elements required to furnish a My Home feature that forms parts of the title's Collector's Edition bonus section.  This section also gives you access to eight bonus levels, eight bonus puzzles plus twelve extra puzzles and twelve wallpaper images.

You can download this title from Gamehouse.com where it is priced at $19.99 or from Big Fish Games priced at £10.99.  The game requires a 1.6 GHz processor with 1024MB of RAM and 719MB of hard disk space running Windows 7 and later.
