It looks like you get two games... Luxor and Luxor Adventure. Luxor is probably match 3 but I can't be sure as I didn't try it yet.

Luxor Adventure is very very hard but very very good. I used 5 hints on the first hidden object screen! It is Interactive but what I like best is that the items to find list is very different. If you like crossword puzzles... this game is for you.
There are crossword puzzle hints to the objects you need to find. Example: Clothing transporter ---
suitcase.

The minigames are fun. While I used 5 hints finding things on the first screen (it was very hard) I aced the find the difference... (Usually it's the other way around.) I'm very anxious to finish the demo but I have to cook supper... darned real world really gets in the way sometimes.

I think you all will like it because it isn't easy.

I agree about the difficulty. I needed to use 1 hint on each screen. I 'm pretty sure it's a timed game, but there seemed to be lots left on the clock even when it was harder to find things. It looks like you get a complimentary Luxor 3 game when you purchase this one.
I'm probably going to get it.

When I went back in to try Luxor it wasn't there... strange.

When you download the game and the first time you open it you have a choice of the two... I picked adventure and I'm not sure how you get the other. Maybe when the game is finished? Let us know.

Maybe you could create a new player for the Luxor 3 game and then you would have the 2 available to play, one with one name and the other a different name.

I just bought the game, and when you select the desktop icon or use the BF manager, the first thing that comes up is the option to choose which game you want to play. When in the trial mode, the option comes up when you select play again if you left the trial. It doesn't matter which one you play or if you play both, you still only have 1 hr of time. But if you buy the game, you will always have to option to continue the adventure game or play Luxor 3 for as long as you want, upon opening.

Yes, you have a choice when it opens. I think the game is great but I'm not buying it for two reasons... 1) It's way too hard for me. 2) Is it me or are the scenes blurry? I'm suffering from major eye strain here and I only played for 45 min.

I think it will be popular with the people who love a challenge.

I've always liked Luxor, so this is a nice bonus! It is a difficult finding some things....but I still think I'll get this one.

What a great game....and sooo much replayability. Very challenging and long to start out....then you add much eye candy and some visually stunning scenes. Fun and challenging mini games (match 3, shoot the marbles and find the difference primarily but also some card games too)
Then you get to play unlimited marble shoots and match 3 games by achieving certain milestones in the adventure HOG game. I would highly recommend this game...for $6.99 at Big Fish....when you need a break from football games and Turkey (should that be in your future as it is in mine)can't beat it. turkey turkey

Naughty Big Fish is just too tempting. My bank manager is now bald, he has finished tearing his hair out.

There has been an update for this game...so the problems that you have encountered might just have been corrected in the update. It just took sooooo long to download...I have been having that problem for about 2 days now. Is it me or BF? Oh well, hopefully it'll go away.

I bought it and had fun playing right up to level 7. I cannot complete the marble shoots, and there is no skip, so I can't access any higher levels. Just a heads up for the dexterity challenged like myself; you may want to think twice about getting it.

That stinks...I'm sorry. Maybe there is a strategy to it that someone can help with?
