According to the game story, you’re to help a young archaeologist unveil the puzzles scattered around the legendary ruins of Egypt.

So, this is what awaits for you in the Quest for Nefertiti:

- a journey to the most mysterious highlights of Egypt(Giza, Luxor, Kairo etc.)

- difference spotting in the pyramids, ancient temples and palaces, museums and hotels

- epic visuals and stunning sound.

Here are some tips and tricks to get you started:

- On the most of levels you’ll have to spot the differences between two seemingly identical pictures. So, consider buying a “double cursor” that will help you track the location of the cursor on every screen.

- Be sure to spot all the coins in every location to complete the level. Coins will help you purchase hints, some helpful gadgets and mini-games at the shop.

- On every level you’ll grab some secret item that you will have to move to the right place to solve a puzzle. To find the place for this item, mouse over the location.When you get to the spot your cursor will turn into a door lock. Drag the secret item to this place.

- On the final locations that unveil after you complete all spor-the-difference levels, you’ll have a double mission. First,you’re to find the hidden objects by their shape. Second, you need to gather the pieces of pharaoh’s mask and collect the mask puzzle at the top of the screen.

- The last level of each stage is the hardest one: you’ll have to use your brain to work out the solutions for the most cunning point-and-click puzzles. On these levels you’ll have to used the hidden objects and to place them where they belong to complete a picture(mechanism or room interrior).

And just a picture - the level I found the most difficult in the game:

Today I decided to say a word about the games that will forever remain in the Fame Gallery of Casual Games. What else except Diner Dash and Mystery Case Files game series are there? The first BIG title that comes to my mind after mcf game series is AZADA from Big Fish Games.

This is a pioneer title in the genre of so-called point-and-click puzzles. In this game, you’ll have to investiage the disappearance of Titus and solve puzzles of all possible kinds - starting from simple jigsaw puzzles and up to real logical challenges.

Most of the levels are based on the point-and-click mechanics. That means, you’ll have to find the set of required objects in a number of rooms (say, a key and a match) and then use them to solve the puzzle. Light up the match, see the time on piece of paper, and set the clockwatch accordingly. Once you do that, you’re going to see a secret case that you’ll be able to open with your key.

On some levels of Azada, not only will you have to solve a puzzle. What’s more difficult, you’ll have to grasp its task. I was stuck on the level where you’ll have to uncover the sequence of paints on the paper. So, the point is to discover this sequence and touch each paint in this very sequence to get to the next level.

Azada is the first title that leads us to the world of mystery and subconsciousness in casual games. But it is not as scary as Hidden Secrets: The Nightmare. Azada is light and enjoyable due to its gorgeous light graphics and animation.

One day on the job interview I spent two hours solving banal logical tasks since an employer wanted to define my IQ. I now know it would be better to use Azada for that sake. This game can easily substitute for any IQ test. And much more enjoyable.
