Princess Isabella is all set to marry the love of her dreams, Prince Adam. After returning home from a trip, however, she finds that an evil curse has been placed on her castle by a mysterious witch. The curse has placed evil in every room, and turned everyone inside the castle into mirrors! Follow a fairy friend as you piece together the clues and save her friends and family in this gorgeous Hidden Object Adventure game!

I loved this game. All the other reviews have pretty much covered all the details. Just wanted to add to the great reviews. I wish there were more like this one.

This game is really fun and pretty addicting, but it is pretty short. My biggest pet peeve with this game is that when you're doing a puzzle and you as the fairy for a hint all she does is repeat whatever it is she said at the beginning of the puzzle (i.e., "it looks like something's hidden in there!"). I mean, what help is that at all? It got really annoying. Also, the game seemed to get lazier as it progressed. In the first few areas you have to do these fun and interesting puzzles to clear the rooms of evil. In the later puzzles it's like all you have to do is look at something and touch one thing and BAM!, it's done. Lastly, and this is something that bothers me about a lot of these seek and find games, is the rather stunning amount of grammatical errors. There's a puzzle where you have to read a page out of a book and it was like reading something written by a 5 year old. Example: "He built castle for he and his dogs, for he love them." Really? Are these games not beta tested or edited at all?

All in all a fun game, but not worth paying for since it's over so quick and there's no replay value as NOTHING CHANGES. The placement of all the objects in the "hidden object" portion of the game remains the same EVERY SINGLE TIME.

This game is great. If you just love mixed quizzes, find-its and suspense, then this is the game for you. In fact, I think this is the game for everybody. I loved it. A whole story and it's not like a common game. It's not find-it, find-it, find-it. There are other things with find-its. I would not suggest this for a young kid. The graphics are great, and when a cursed room changes it is amazing. I would strongly suggest getting this game. Just not for little kids. It can be scary.

Hidden-object games aren't my favorite; for instance I've played the highly rated Ravenhearst and didn't understand why people liked it so much. This game makes the challenge more interesting with (simple) puzzles sprinkled throughout instead of just a mind-numbing trek through one seek and find picture to the next. The ending is actually rather difficult with a Zuma type shoot-the-marbles game into a battle against a computer opponent. While I swore all the way through it, it did make the finale much more satisfying once it was completed.

The premise is simple, you're a princess (named Isabella, strangely enough) who has returned to her castle to find it taken over by a (wait for it...) witches curse. You travel from room to room finding objects with the help of a fairy similar to Tinkerbell who helps you along the way. She almost helps too much by explaining what needs to be done to each puzzle in order to solve it. Once puzzles are solved you search for mirror pieces to put together jigsaw puzzle style. Once a mirror is completed, a castle member is "released" and gives you an additional item to help you in your journey.

I think the game would have been much more challenging if we were left to figure things out on our own as Tinkerbell's help makes the game is rather easy. The seek and find puzzles aren't extremely challenging as many of the items you are looking for are in plain sight. Still, there were enough puzzles to take a couple days to solve all the way through. I estimate about 10-15 hours of play for a reasonably sharp-eyed individual. There are around 30 different rooms you have to search through; two floors of a castle, a garden, a stable, and a tower. Some of the rooms have multiple puzzles. If hidden-object games are your game of choice, you will find a lot to like in here and it's recommended.

Finally, if you do like this game and are looking for a similar challenge, I also recommend The Scruffs.

Princess Isabella: A Witch's Curse was a surprisingly fun game to play. It's not a mindless "find hidden objects" game at all - there are a variety of puzzles to solve, mirror pieces to find and reassemble, objects to find and use in different rooms, and you even get to burn and break things. Not surprisingly, the game is comparatively short, easily completed in just two or three hours, but that is par for the course in this genre of games.

You take on the role of Princess Isabella, who returns to her castle to find that the whole place has been cursed by an evil witch - and the prince you are all set to marry has apparently been captured by the witch, as well. Fortunately, a little fairy managed to escape and is now there to help you remove the witch's curse room by room. The transformation of each cleared room from a scene of darkened neglect to opulent glory really is something to behold. Along your way, you'll find informative bits of your mother's diary and glean critical information from castle denizens as you manage to free them from the witch's spell.

This is a game that both adults and children can enjoy. The "hidden object" puzzles are relatively easy, but some of the other puzzles require a little bit of thought (and may prove frustrating to young players). Fear not, though, because the fairy is always available to give you hints and even to solve some of the tougher puzzles for you. There's really no incentive to replay the game once you're done, but Princess Isabella: A Witch's Curse is definitely one of the better Hidden Object Adventure games out there.
