"Happy Holidays - Seasons of Love" has been designed as a celebration of Valentine's Day. Developed by GameOn Productions this title, which is available in Collector's Edition format, combines Hidden Object tasks and puzzle solving game play. The content is spread through six named locations which need to be tackled in a specific order.
Your starting location will be based on a Home-cooked dinner presumably for yourself and your partner. Later you can move on to romantic assignments based at a Skating Rink, followed by a Bridge. Continuing your route allows you to visit a Candy Shop, Ski Resort and a Park environment.
Each location will feature the same arrangement of items which can be tackled in any order. There will be a Hidden Object scene allowing you the choice of two modes of display the required item's list. By default this will appear in text format but you do have the option of switching to a list of parts in the displayed scene. Along with the various required items, the scene will contain three coins and three keys which can all be collected. You can use make use of a secret area which could contain some items. By playing the scene twice, using both methods of listing the required items, you will earn yourself two stars.
Accompanying the Hidden Object scene will be a collection of five puzzles. Three of the puzzles in a set will be of the same type. These puzzles will be made up of a Spot the Difference offering, Torn Picture puzzle and a Find Duplicates challenge. The first two will have a choice of Easy or Hard version while the latter offers a single version as you clear away a pile of clutter. The remain two puzzles will be a random choice of a pair of puzzles from a list that includes Jigsaw, Match 3, Sudoku, Labyrinth and Solitaire. Both Easy and Hard versions of the appropriate puzzle will be available.
By carrying out a full sweep of a location and completing all its elements, you could earn a total of eleven stars. This will more than enough to allow you to progress to the next location, In fact you only need five stars to progress. Any excess stars earned will be discarded rather than allowing them to progress with you.
As mentioned earlier, the various Hidden Object scenes contain coins which can be collected. These coins can be used to unlock the pages of a Love Book. This publication will reveal facts and Love and Valentine issues through the payment of these coins.
