Jewel Quest Mysteries: Curse of the Emerald Tear
0 Comments | Posted by olya in Hidden object
This is a hybrid from iWin that combines a hidden object quest related to Egyptian lore with classic Jewel Quest gem-swapping. Recently the developers try to entertain us more and combine several genres. In this particular case it worked.
Rupert and Emma will visit Egypt, solve ancient puzzles and reveal a captivating story told in journal entries and sketches. They will be looking for each hidden object in a busy outdoor or indoor scene. Along the left hand-side of the screen the objects you need to locate within the specified period of time are listed. Incorrect clicking gets you penalized – if you click on an incorrect items three times you lose 30 seconds off the clock.
Puzzles and other mini-games are also here. For example, you must swap gems on a board so that at least three have formed a vertical or horizontal row. Doing so will vanish the line and new gems fall down the board.
In contrast to other recent hidden object games when you revisit the scene in search of new items they will be in the same locations as the already found ones. It makes the game a tad too easy for me. Though to be fair it’s a good example of a hidden object game with good graphics and music – just not as good as some of the others I’ve reviewed.
