This gorgeous and magical little gem appeared a bit belatedly, but it was so magnificent that I didn’t really mind. More surprisingly, the helper in this game was Hansel, in the form of a mouse, and he was adorable (pretend that I never said that, lol!). The graphics were colorful and exciting, the storyline captured my interest, and the gameplay was entertaining and addictive. Each location had a plethora of tasks and collectibles. There was an issue, however with the collectible figurines. I was not able to collect the figurine in Tommy’s room because the little mouse was blocking it. However, more importantly, the map functioned properly, the HO scenes had an interesting variety, and there were different types of puzzles and games to suit every player. The game was actually a decent length, inclusive of the bonus adventure. It seemed shorter than it was because I so enjoyed the gameplay! I felt like I was actually in a fairy tale. My true rating will be 4.5 stars, and I only deducted a half star due to the collectibles issue. The overall quality assurance was better than what we had seen in the last few Elephant games. Keep the games coming, Elephant! We are raring to play!
Happy gaming to everyone, and Happy New Year!
