Loved this game!
This was my favorite game on Big Fish thus far. I liked that, although it did include HO puzzles, it wasn't centered on them or rely too heavily on them. I think too many games these days take the lazy way out and focus almost entirely on HO Puzzles. I prefer solving the other puzzles, brain teasers, and storyline challenges. The visuals and storyline were great. I couldn't put my laptop down. Please, Big Fish, more games like this one!

What a cool game!
This has to be one of the best games I've played. The story was compelling and I really wanted to finish. It was a nice long game, too, but not so long that I got tired of it. It was very visually appealing, although some of the HOS were difficult because they were monochromatic and somewhat fuzzy, making it hard to find things.
I loved the voice-overs and the music playing softly in the background. Everytime Isa would appear I wanted to go "Boo....Hiss." So I was very pleased with what happened to him at the end (that's what you get for locking up a poor little wolf cub).
I had to skip some of the puzzles after working on them for some time, but overall I still enjoyed them. I especially liked the one based on a Rubik's cube and was very pleased with myself for solving it, but there were many others that were lots of fun. The double-sided tile swap was a good one, too. Ooh, that felt good to solve.
I'm usually not that fond of silhouette HOS, but these were cleverly done. You had to find one or two objects and then use them to find the rest. I especially liked one near the end that was a puppet show with alternating scenes.
If you want a fun game experience, be sure to try Song of the Phoenix.

Good Game...
I am very picky about my computer games but this one is pretty good. The visual quality was great.

Wonderful, colourful, intriguing game
This is one of the best I have played. The graphics - all of a fantasy world - are beautifully drawn, and it's a delight to explore the various scenes in search of all the odd dickiedoodahs that you need. The Hidden Object scenes (of which there aren't too many) are interactive and interesting, rather than just another sort through a pile of junk. There are lots of puzzles, most of them quite easy, but all colourful and innovative. This game kept us busy for four evenings - often when you thought you were getting to the end there was another tunnel going off into the woods, another set of objects to find and another mystery to solve. Often I turn the music down in these games, but in this game I kept the music on without it getting on my nerves. I'll be looking for another one from the same stable.
This one becomes my current favourite!

best game ever
First review I've done but wanted to say this is the best game I've ever played. Everything about it is excellent. All the games ERS produce are brilliant I think, but this is exceptional.

Great Game
ERS Games are almost always a buy for me.
Good game, good graphics, good puzzles, good gameplay, original mini games, long enough, not so good hint system just says 'Nothing to do here', well at least that, story is a bit fairy talish prince and princess stuff but readable.
Gave it 5 stars cause it was so much fun to play.
Almost gave it 4 stars because of the Prince and Princess theme.

Got to be one of the best games I have ever played
Played more than 50 Big Fish puzzle & adventure games but this has got to be in the top 3 if not the best. Just loved the 3 different types of hidden object games. Story and length of game was very good, would have loved it to go on forever...

One of the best games ever
This game is beautiful. The story is ok. The art work is spirited and lively. The hints and help were just enough to keep you interested but not too obvious. I really feel like I got my money's worth here. The whole presentation was great. More like this please!!
