By taking a digital journey you can learn some facts regarding Italy's various tourist attractions.

Developed by Do Games, Relaxing Time - Italy Tour is a Hidden object game that is available in Collector's Edition format.  This game can be played in Casual, Advanced or Hardcore difficulty level featuring varying rates of Hint and Skip recharging plus adjustable volume levels for music and sound effects.  When playing this title you will need to journey through 72 stop-over points containing a mixture of Hidden Object game play and mini game puzzle solving.

Starting at the Leaning Tower of Pisa, this journey with then begin with a set path which you need to take.  This path will include stop-over points that will allow you to inspect and learn about places such as the Coliseum, Pompeii, Venice and Verona amongst its appealing tourist attractions.  Your arrival at these types of tourist attractions will trigger the release of information about the particular location, such as regarding its construction, history and possible relevance to the modern world.  As mentioned earlier, you could also be faced by challenges that could consist of Hidden Object game play or a puzzle solving at the various stop-over points.

Hidden Object game play will combine a scene, sometimes using an appropriate location, overlaid at the base with a panel listing the items that need to be found in order to proceed.  The listing could feature text items, silhouettes, parts of the actual scene, paired items or a specific image.  Occasionally you may be required to identify a required items from a brief description in the form of a riddle.

At fairly regular intervals, the Hidden Object scene could be replaced by a mini game puzzle.  This title has a variety of different puzzle formats at its disposal.  You might be asked to find the differences between two similar views of the same scene.  Rather than use a side-by-side appearance, one scene will be displayed in picture-in-picture mode on top of the other view.  While focusing on scene type puzzles, some challenges might involve swapping segments around to create a completed picture or produce a scene from fragments that have been scattered around. 

Other puzzle types could involve linking tiles within a grid to reach a designated target number or filling an area with irregular shaped pieces.  On occasions you might need to stopping a moving chain of balls from travelling along a set path by firing a ball to create groups of three similarly coloured balls.  In each case, success will bring progress to the next location.

Completing the task presented by the various location stop-over points, whether the Hidden Object or mini puzzle game variety, will bring the reward of points.  You can use these points to purchase souvenirs from the title's Boudoir feature as part of its Collector's Edition format.  Other Collector's Edition bonus elements include a bonus Chapter, Wallpaper, Collectibles, Concept Art and Music features.
