What is your favorite casual game? So far, for me, it's a toss between Big City Adventures and Mystery Case Files: Ravenhearst.

I enjoyed Jewel Quest 2, though wasn't sure how casual it was the further one progresses. Also enjoy the various Mahjongg games.

So many of 'em! I go through phases of being completely addicted to Inspector Parker (logical whodunnit) and Hidden Expedition Titanic (another one of those seek & find games that everyone seems to be bananas about at the moment ). I also really enjoy Turbo 21 and Diner Dash.

I love the Mystery Case File games! I have also enjoyed (and spent mucho time on) Luxor and Jewel Quest 1 and 2. And I am really looking forward to playing Fairy Godmother Tycoon (I ordered the boxed version after having played the one-hour demo and loved it). I've got many others here too; Super Collapse 3, Inspector Parker, Bejeweled 2, Galapago, Westward, Diner Dash, Big Kahuna Reef, Mah Jong Quest, and the list goes on!! I'm very enthusiastic about many of them.

I like the Mystery Case Files series best, for the variety of puzzles and the humour. But I really liked MAgic Adcademy and Mysteryville, too.

As you well know I am a conasaur of free games and I really enjoyed Duty and Beyond. I'm going to replay it because I missed 2 jewels. The puzzle work in this game was really good. When I finish a game very seldom do I replay it, but this one I will definitely consider.

There are so many I like it is hard to pick a favorite. I would say the Mystery Case File games come in at the top with Ravenhearst. I also like Cradle of Rome and all 3 Jewel Quest games. I believe it is safer to say I like games that take you on a quest to complete the levels; you can see your achievements by your advancing on a map. Linda edit to answer L4L: the difference for me in the games is the ability to see the objects better in the MCF games, more screens to the level and less conversation. However, Magic Academy was improved playing after Mysteryville. Also I think the MCF games are longer. They are definitely getting better too; bring on MCF # 4 please.

Hello everyone. I am delighted to know that I am not only an Adventure Game lover, but a Casual game lover as well. I have loved playing Snood, Snood Solitaire, Mystery Case Files, Wonderland, MahJong Quest, Inspector Parker, and more. Thanks for the great new forum!!

I have to say, the one I play at least once a day is Penguin Solitaire, part of the Top Ten Solitaire from Big Fish. Other than that, it depends on my mood. I like Mystic Inn and all the Hidden picture ones. Ana

WW, How do the MCF and Magic Academy and Mysteryville differ? Magic academy and Mysteryville (which I'm pretty sure are made by the same people; they look the same) have some character interaction and plot. And the variety of seek and find puzzles is greater: there are some times when you have to compare two scenes and find out what differs and some times when you just have to collect all the keys in the scene for example. So they're more adventurey. The graphics are really good, too. But I still think the MCF are the best of the strictly seek & find type game. especially prime suspects. There were times I found that game so funny I about wet my pants. And I liked the in between puzzles. I didn;t think Ravenhurst was all that it was cracked up to be, frankly. WW
