Little Shop of Treasures: Great Hidden-Object Shopping Tour 

Three weeks and two days have passed in 53 minutes... Not only because this game is a plain fun, but because if you've obtained a good hand and eye in hunting for the hidden objects before, this one will be a piece of cake.

So, here is another weekend treat. This is the game that hit the top download charts following the week of its online presence. Developers from Gamehouse were probably too shy and called it A little shop of Treasures. But in fact this game is a great 11-week-long quest for the objects that are hidden throughout different locations.

Speaking of a genre, Little Shop of Treasures is a cross between tycoon game and hidden object puzzle.

As far as the plot is concerned, it is a tycoon game, since the final point is to open, fix, and decorate your shop to make it attractive for your future customers. As you gradually advance from level to level and work in different shops owned by other people, you earn money to renovate your own business.

Here, at Little Shop of Treasures, each level is a little shop (it can be a magic shop, antiques, sporting goods shop, diner, garage sales shop etc.)

The point at each level is to serve the coming customers and quickly find what they want in the chaos of each room.

Once you see the required object, click on it to pick it up and pass it to your customer. You will have to serve 15 customers in the same manner. 
 
The time limitation is okay. So no rush if you cannot find something at a first glance! Luckily, there is no need to replay the whole level, if you haven't served each of 15 customers. But if you do, you will receive a gold star for your hard work.

So, in terms of level difficulty, GameHouse developers were pretty merciful towards players.

But they were quite resourceful with hints...

In "Little Shop of Treasures" clicking a Hint Button results in materialization of your customer need, so you can clearly see what the requested object looks like.

This hint system will not solve your problem in case you are desperate about finding something, but it will give you an insight of what you should look for.

Tip: aside from hunting for clues, try to look for question marks on every level. If you find one, click on it, and you'll get an extra portion of hints.

Our prognosis: as tricky as MCF: Ravenhearst and as eye-catching and bright as Dream Day Wedding, Little Shop of Treasures has everything to win top position at the charts of most popular games for the next several months. Bravo, GameHouse!    

This is basically all you need to know about this game before you waste several hours in a row with hunting for hidden clues. Good luck!
