My Review : ------------------ Good Adventure cum Hidden object game. Good storyline, and great graphics. Though the game demands a lot of mouse click. Game-play is easy and cool mini-games. But on feel at later stage that the story is dragged a bit longer. Overall a good game.

Hints, Tip, Walkthroughs : --------------------------------- GAME OVERVIEW
This game has nine chapters total. Each chapter has several scenes and a couple of puzzles between each chapter.
The premise of this game is to find hidden pieces in the scene to complete the items in silhouette at the bottom of the page.
Once the items have been completed you need to use them in other areas in the scene.
The game does not make you complete scenes and puzzles in a certain amount of time, but it does keep track of how long you’ve been playing. However, it adds or subtracts time to your overall playing time depending on your actions.
If you complete a puzzle without skipping it, the game deducts two minutes from your overall time. If you use a hint, the game adds five minutes to your total.
Each scene has different doors that you can travel through to access other areas. Some of these doors may need to be unlocked before you enter through them.
New pieces appear constantly in the scenes. The broken pieces will not be in a scene until you unlock them.
INVENTORY ITEMS/BROKEN PIECES
At the bottom of the screen you will have a picture of the items you need to look for in the scene. Those items will be broken into several pieces throughout the scene.
Make sure that you scroll through your inventory items by using the arrow on either end of the box so you can see all your available items.
Each time you complete an item, the green bar in the lower right corner will become fuller. The greener the meter is, the closer you are to completing that chapter.
HINTS
To obtain a hint in the game, you have to click on the red amulet in the lower right corner. Then, you have to click on the item you want to find, and it will show you where the item is.
A beam of light will shine on the item that you need to pick up. If the item is in a different room, the game will automatically take you to the room in which the item is located.
Each time you use a hint, the locket will be discharged. As soon as the locket is completely red, it will be ready for use again.
If you don’t want to use a hint, you can click on the silhouetted (incomplete) item at the bottom of the page, and the game will show you exact images of the broken items you need to find.
Each hint you use will add five minutes to your cumulative playing time.
PUZZLES
There are several puzzles in the game. You can choose to skip a puzzle if you do not wish to play it, but you have to wait for the hint button to be green before you do.
If you don’t understand the instructions for a puzzle, just click on the help tab located in the lower left corner of the scene.
After a powerful storm threatens your village, your father has decided to venture out in search of it`s cause. This exciting Hidden Object Adventure game will have you track down the pieces of the ancient Imperial Staff to stop the mysterious black rain, and save your father from an evil spirit!

There is no time limit for this game. You may skip mini-games after the timer fills up on the skip button.
At the bottom of the screen are the quest items you must find. The number of pieces needed will be noted in the bottom right corner of each item.
If you get stuck, explore other areas. Look for your cursor to change if interactions are possible with a quest item.
Many pieces are hidden by other items or require that you take some action before they are revealed. Some quest items are used in other scenes.

Use your profits to upgrade each cinema, and keep your customers happy in this exciting Time Management game. Take a break form the action and play addicting mini-games in the arcade. Predict which customers will arrive, keep a cool head, and survive Megaplex Mania: Summer Blockbuster !
Classic fast-paced game play
Unlock unique upgrades
System Requirements : ------------------------------ OS: Windows XP/Vista CPU: 800 Mhz RAM: 256MB DirectX: 8.1 Hard Drive: 99 MB
Relaxed: There is no timer, so you play until you reach goal. Because of this, there is no way to achieve an expert or master score, and you can't use “madness” mode or rapid clicks to speed up customers after the movie starts.
Normal: This is the main game play mode. You are timed, but the customers have higher patience.
Hard: Locked until you beat the game on normal. The customers are “cranky” with less patience.
Insane: Locked until you beat the game on normal. Total insanity!
HOW TO PLAY, TUTORIAL:
As the tutorial begins, you have 5 theaters inside your brand new Megaplex. The place isn't finished yet, so that means you need to do some shopping! You have $500 to spend.
In the upgrade screen, you can buy a second box office station to serve more than one customer at a time.
You can also buy a second theater entrance to serve more customers.
Once you've finished shopping, it's time to play! Your first customer comes into the theater, and she wants a movie ticket. You can move her to the ticket station by clicking on her, and dragging her over the target, and releasing the mouse. Once she's at the station, the attendant will automatically take care of her, and you'll have to wait a few seconds.
Over her head in a thought bubble, you'll see a movie camera icon, which lets you know what she needs next. Once she has her ticket, she's ready to go see the movie. Like before, you need to click and drag the customer to the next station, and wait for the attendant to assist her.
Underneath each customer's thought bubble, you'll see a bunch of red hearts. The more hearts a customer has, the more cash you will earn for serving him. Each heart is worth $1.
You can use the cash earned in the game to buy and upgrade new stations for your megaplex, and to meet the daily income goal.
In order to advance, you need to meet the target income goal, shown at the bottom of the screen. In normal mode, this needs to happen before the day runs out.
Some customers are more patient than others.
Characters become frustrated if they lose 2 hearts in a row. When this happens, they will make a horrible grunting noise and try to walk out!
You can grab the furious customer before he leaves, and drag him back to the appropriate service station.
Customers do NOT lose hearts when you are holding onto them.
Sometimes, nature calls... You can drag your customers to the gender-appropriate restroom to take care of that.
Customers might want a tub of buttery popcorn before the film. They can get this at the popcorn station.
Customers each have an associated color, which matches the color of their clothing. When you place a customer onto a station, her clothing color is left behind as a marker.
You earn extra cash for making color combos. This is done by having customers with the same color clothing use the same stations consecutively. Each time you chain a customer of the same color type, you earn an extra $1.
If you can do this 5 times in a row, you can also earn a free arcade token. To collect it, place a customer over the station.
In the beginning, you can only gain up to 5 customers in a row, but with upgrades you can later increase this to 10.
You don't have to play the advanced tutorial, but completing it can earn you $400 in free upgrades for your theater. Now that's a nice incentive.
If a customer asks for something you don't have, like pizza if you haven't bought a pizza station, you can...erm...make him change his mind by picking him up and violently shaking him back and forth. Whether it's persuasion or brain damage, I don't know, but he'll forget what he wanted and pick something else.
Like the original, you can swap customers with opposite needs in order to earn a swap combo. If Jane wants pizza and John wants a ticket, and each is standing in the opposite spot, you can drag one customer on top of the other and release. Each is now happy, and you earn even more cash.
Customers also have favorite stations. Grampy and Granny, for example, like the restrooms. The Nerd likes arcade games. The Cowgirl likes popcorn, and Cletus, well...we're not sure what he likes because he changes his mind so frequently. Jack and Jill are impatient kids with a candy addiction.
As in the first game, you can play the arcade game to earn an extra heart for your customer (note that this is different from the token arcade game). You can earn as many as 6. To play, click the blinking light over the console. Repeat three times, and the game is over. You don't need to play if you are busy, but you won't earn the heart.
The gumball station is another place to earn an extra heart. Drag the handle downwards, and then make a complete rotation.
You have a limited amount of time each day until the movie starts. This is shown by the NOW PLAYING sign in the left hand corner. Once the movie has started, you can click on customers for a speed boost.
If you've met your target daily goal, you can still keep playing to try for the expert or master goals.
If you reach the expert goal on any level, you'll earn arcade tokens. These can be used to play the arcade minigames.
If you can reach the master goal on any level, you'll unlock neat theater decorations later in the game. These decorations attract more customers to your theater.
MINIGAMES:
You can play the arcade minigame from the map screen, if you have earned any tokens. Click the PLAY button in the arcade area
There are 5 to unlock. For all of the arcade games, the goal is to fill up the scoring meter.
In Bubble Blast, you play a version of a marble popper, where you must shoot out balls, hitting others and matching 3 or more of the same color. You can right click or hit the space bar to swap to the next ball.
In Spring Jumper, you move the mouse left and right to control the kangaroo. Try to land on different springs to make the kangaroo jump. Sometimes you need to bounce on the same spring more than once to get maximum height. You can try to jump high enough to skip springs for more points.
Dancing Star is a spoof on Dance Dance Revolution. Click the arrows when they pass over the blue bar. You will earn more if the arrow is in the center of the blue bar when clicked. If arrows go past the blue bar, you'll lose the game.
Krazy Kangaroo is a simple platformer. You move the mouse left and right to guide the kangaroo. Click and hold the mouse button, and then release to jump. The longer you hold the mouse, the higher the jump. Look out for birds and tall trees!
In Stack Attack, you play a basic match 3. Click on balls which are grouped in 3 or more of the same color. If the balls reach the top of the screen, you will lose the game. You can try to watch which balls are coming up from the bottom to see if you can pop are larger group. This will earn you the most points.
Once you've started playing the arcade games, it's a bit awkward to get back to the main game. You have to select MENU > MAP, and then you can go back to wherever you left off. You can play these games from the main screen as well, under Arcade.
You can earn money towards upgrades by playing arcade games, and hitting the targets on the score meter. To earn the most money, you want to continually hit new targets.
TIPS:
You can grab the furious customer before he leaves, and drag him back to the appropriate service station.
Customers do NOT lose hearts when you are holding onto them. This means you can hold a customer to keep him happy while you're busy with other people. However, you'll still need to put him down in order to grab onto others.
If you reach the expert goal on any level, you'll earn arcade tokens. Playing arcade games can help you earn upgrades.
If you can reach the master goal on any level, you'll unlock neat theater decorations later in the game. These decorations attract more customers to your theater.
Keep your eye on the customer forecast to spend your money wisely, picking upgrades that will be most helpful.
Once the movie has started, you can click on the bullseye above a customer's head for a speed boost.
If you want to prioritize, you will earn the highest income of you work on keeping customer hearts high first, making color combos second, making swap combos third, and keeping the most customers in your theater fourth.
Sometimes it's more important to keep you color combos going than to lose a single heart on a customer.
IF YOU GET STUCK:
If you get stuck, try to buy all available upgrades.
Remember, you get to keep the money you've earned, even if you fail a level.
Look at the customer forecast, and give priority to those stations most required.
Try to take advantage of all combos.
Alternately, there is always Relaxed Mode! This game is TOUGH.

Hints, Strategies : ---------------------- How to play
(1) You can choose between "very easy" and "normal" game play modes. The game can be played in English (US or UK), Dutch, German, French, Spanish, and Italian -- wow. You can also adjust the graphic performance.
(2) Name your first restaurant, and you're ready to play! The name doesn't matter, so choose whatever you like best.
(3) Your first customer arrives with an order for Ikura Maki. To find out what the ingredients are, you need to click your sushi recipe book. The game doesn't stop while you're browsing the recipe book, so be quick.
(4) To make Ikura, you need 1 rice and 1 fish egg. Click these on the ingredients tray to the left.
(5) To finish, click the bamboo roller mat to roll up the sushi. If you've made a mistake, you can click the golden arrow underneath the roller to take a step backward.
(6) If you're running low on toppings, rice, or sake, you can order more by clicking the phone. You can order supplies in advance, so it's worth it to keep an eye on your stock.
(7) Pay attention to your customer's moods. Don't take too long to serve them, or they'll get upset and leave. Serving sake or performing a knife trick can help to improve their patience, but only for a short while.
(8) You can earn combos for making orders without referring to the recipe book. Talk about a challenge!
(9) After serving the customer, you must wait for him to finish eating. This takes a few seconds.
(10) Once he's finished, he will automatically pay and leave. Your next job is to gather up all of the plates to clean the table for the next customer. Simply click a plate to remove it. You can earn a plate combo for clearing plates in a chain. 6 Plates = x6 (x1 for each after 2).
(11) At the bottom of the screen, you'll see how much cash you've earned in Yen. You can use this cash to order more ingredients.
(12) If you create an item that isn't on the menu, it turns into a brown blob (complete with eyes and a face). This isn't edible, of course...and brown blobs clog up space on the conveyor belt.
(13) Your reputation is displayed as a bar on the top left corner, next to the golden star. This improves as you upgrade your store, and your service improves. Taking reservations increases this as well, but failing to deliver can hurt your reputation score.
(14) Accepting reservations will earn you extra money and reputation points. Once accepted, drag the reservation signs to seats. You'll earn more if you can manage to sit the parties next to each other.
(15) Sometimes you'll be given and order "to go." You don't have to accept these, but they can make you quick extra money. The dishes you make are then applied to the take out order.
(16) Every day, you will be given a set of goals. If you reach them, you'll be able to advance to the next day.
(17) After your first day, you'll be given the chance to buy special upgrades with your surplus yen. Even if you fail a level, your money carries over, so you can upgrade your equipment and have a better chance on your next turn. As you move up, you lose most of your upgrades, and some of your ingredients and sushi recipes.

Hints, Tip, Walkthroughs : --------------------------------- General Tips
It is always a good idea to start any level just to get a general overview related to the goals, which buildings you own, how many empty lots there are, and which buildings are not in your possession in the beginning. Take your time and think about your first actions, what buildings you will need to beat the level, and then restart the level. This strategy has the advantage that you already have a vague plan in your hand and do not waste any time in the beginning.
Sometimes there are lots with an income penalty of 20%. These plots are perfect to build Hotels on that you would sale anyway, because the penalty does not affect the sale price.
Be aware of the fact that you do not get any income from hotels when they get repaired, upgraded or are up for sale. Try to improve your hotels at the beginning of income cycles if possible, because then you lose income as rarely as possible. By the way, you get new money every 15 seconds.
Service buildings are quite expensive to construct, but they are definitely worth it. Especially the Real Estate Agency is virtually required to beat some levels in expert time. For one thing you can buy every building whenever you want to, and for another thing you can change the prices of your as well as other buildings up and down.
The museum can come in very handy if you need a high number of guests. By holding exhibitions at the Museum you can double the guests of all of your hotels on the resort.
In contrast to similar games it never happens that additional goals appear during a level. Of course this makes the game less exciting, but otherwise some of the levels are really hard as they are, so it is good to know that there are no additional "bad surprises".
In some levels you will have to purchase special areas or buildings, which are only available in that level and crucial to finish it. In most of those cases you not only have to buy the said building, but also restore it with a high number of workers and a large amount of materials. Take this into consideration from the beginning. You can see how much it will cost you to restore the building (even if you haven't purchased it yet) by clicking on that building and hovering over the wrench-button.
Try to purchase every lot with an income bonus if possible, because they do not differ from "ordinary lots" in their sale price, but offer a huge advantage when they are yours. If you can avoid it never build commercial, service buildings or decorations on lots with income bonus, because this would be just a waste of what could be an easy additional income.
Do not train more workers than necessary in the beginning of any level, because they are really expensive and you can't use them anyway if you lack money and materials.
Always order the largest amount of materials you can afford to, because the discount is very distinct and you will need a large amount of materials sooner or later. Order materials before you have less than 500, because it is really annoying if you suddenly have to stop assigning tasks because you are out of materials.
When you plan to build only one or two types of hotels train a number of workers according to the number you need to perform certain improvements on those hotels.
Try to never miss the money letters which appear over hotels on a regular basis. They can definitely make the difference whether you can beat a level in expert time or not.
If the "Play"-button at the beginning of a new level is disabled, you first have to purchase a new building or feature at the shop.
Building
Basically, the key to success in resource management games is mathematics. Of course promptness and doing tasks at the same time are important factors, too, but in most of the levels you have to build specific buildings, and upgrade all of them according to your goals, which means that rapid clicking does not always help. The table below displays all the buildings in the game and what you have to know about them, namely the cost and result of upgrades and other advantages:

Level 18:
Goals:Own four Guest Houses with an income bonus of 110 % ; Own two Business Hotels (Level 3)

Apart from that it must be also in the influence of a Statue, a Garden AND a memorial!!! And this goes for all the four Guest Houses.

Level 23:
Goals: Own two City Malls that serve 500 guests each
In fact this this level is all about promptness. One City Mall is already built in the right place, you simply have to buy it sooner or later. The other City Mall has to be built on the central lot on the right hand half of the scene. Each of the two Malls is surrounded by seven lots, and you have to build 13 three-star Residential Hotels and one Museum on these 14 lots.
When a Residential Hotel is finished, sell it immediately, since you need new funds to acquire new lots, more materials, and more workers. This is the whole strategy of the level. The building of the museum and the City Malls should wait until the end, just start by building and upgrading the Residential Hotels. The Screenshot below displays the positions of the important buildings.
In the beginning sell your buildings to train the required number of workers and to purchase the needed materials for your first Residential Hotel. After that, simply repeat this action: Build a Residential Hotel - Upgrade it to three stars - sell it.
If the empty lot for the second City Mall is up for sale early in the level, immediately purchase it and build a Real Estate Agency on it. That simplifies this level even more, since you can sell your Hotels for even more money and buy every other lot whenever you want to. In the end you can simply replace the Agency by the City Mall.
Build the Museum at the very end, when all the Hotels are finished. Do not forget to hold an exhibition at the museum, thereby increasing the number of guests in every hotel of the resort by 50%.

Level 28:
Goals:Build a Ski Lift ; Income $200,000
Since the Ski Lift you have to built increases the income of Guest Houses by 300%, but reduces the income of Business and Residential Hotels by 75%, it is the to concentrate on building Guest Houses to achieve the required income.

Train two workers. Demolish all your hotels except for the Grand Palace.
Build one Grand Palace and sell it.

Build a Grand Palace and sell it.

System Requirements : ------------------------------ OS: Windows XP/Vista CPU: 2.0 Ghz RAM: 512 MB DirectX: 9.0 Hard Drive: 100 MB
At the opening screen of the game, you can only click on "Start" to either choose an existing profile or to create a new one
You can choose between three different levels of difficulty each time you start a new profile. For newcomers to the game it is definitely advisable to choose the easiest ("normal") difficulty.
The tutorial is a really good help to learn the basics of the game, so you should not skip it. Additionally, you can always click on the "Help-orb" in the left-hand corner on top of the screen if you ever want to refresh those basic rules.
The shop, represented by the truck near your cottage, displays all of the currently available items for purchase, which change on a daily basis. Thus it is always advisable to have a look at the shop's daily offers, even if you don't have any specific needs at that moment. As soon as you have accumulated a certain amount of money you should try to have at least one unit per item in stock, so that you can be sure to fulfill every possible request by a customer
Often, when you accept a new order, it happens that neither you nor the truck has the item the customer requests for the grave. In nearly 100 percent of these cases the truck shop will have this item available on the very next day.
The clock in the right-hand bottom corner of the screen displays the current time of day
As soon as it is dark outside the ghosts are coming out of their graves. If you want to work through the night to be more efficient and profitable, you should try to avoid touching ghosts, because they will send you to sleep immediately. It is very hard to do so successfully, but you should know that customers are also stopping by at night
When your reputation has reached a decisive point, you are allowed to buy more land and you earn a medal
Click on the "For-Sale"-sign when you are allowed to purchase more land: The first new lot will cost you $100, the second lot $5,000, and the third and last lot will cost $100,000
The map can be accessed through the little menu in the bottom of the screen and displays your whole graveyard, including plots you may purchase in the future
Purchase all additional lots very soon, so that you have enough free land to create only perfect graves. In this way you are as profitable as possible.
The requirements for perfect graves are: every liked item has to be in the sphere of influence of that grave, the grave has to be connected to a path that is also connected to the entrance, disliked items are not allowed in the sphere of influence, no other grave should be in the sphere of influence.
However, spheres of influence of two different graves can cross very well, thereby sharing decorative items and even maximizing your profit.
Controls:
There are six different control buttons for the various actions Mr. Jones can perform. Look at the screen-shot below and the related explanations
If you click this button, Mr. Jones will walk to any reachable location you click on. However, you are always able to walk by right-clicking on any spot, even if a different action is chosen.
If you select this button, Mr. Jones can pick up, place down, or carry any object, such as flowers, gravestones, or structures. He can even remove certain objects from already finished graves, except for gravestones.
This option simply allows you to dig up a grave at any fitting spot. If you have already dug out a grave, but suddenly decide that there should not be a grave in this spot, simply click on it again, and Mr. Jones will shovel up the empty pit.
The axe allows you to cut down any large or small tree on your graveyard. Simply click on one and Mr. Jones will go there, but take into account that there will be a tree stump left, which you have to pick up with control #2, then being able to throw it into the trash can.
This control enables Mr. Jones to create a path on any free spot on the graveyard.
The chisel is only helpful for engraving the name of the future owner of a grave on the tombstone. The burial of anyone won't take place before you have used the chisel on the tombstone of the related grave.
If you take any object out of a box, you can always put it back by clicking on the box for a second time.
Paths:
For each part of the path you have to pay $1. All the customers pay extra money if the graves they pay for are connected with a path, and if this path is also connected to the entrance of your graveyard. To create a path is comparatively cheap, especially considering that a lot of customers will pay you remarkably more than $1 if the graves are connected to the path. Nevertheless you should create paths efficiently, to avoid both wasting money and worthwhile space for objects or new graves
Later on you are also able to create cobblestone paths, which cost $4 per spot, but they appeal to every customer, on top of that giving your graveyard an even more elegant look.
Customers & Graves:
Pictures of vehicles on the right-hand bottom corner of the screen inform you about customers who recently arrived. You can simply click on any of these images and Mr. Jones will automatically walk to the customer and talk to him, no matter which action is currently selected for him. The same goes for the Driving Shop, where you can purchase additional tombstones, flowers and structures, whose picture will be present constantly during the day.
The sphere of influence of a grave indicates where you can put objects so that they will have a positive influence on this grave. However, you should try to avoid to create another grave in this grave's sphere of influence, because this lowers its value
To open the list of either flowers, tombstones, or structures, you can click on both the little buttons on the bottom bar of the screen, or at the colored boxes that are scattered throughout your graveyard
Basically there are four different types of customers, resulting in four different price ranges for graves. The cheapest graves cost between $5 and $25, then there are customers who are willing to pay $60 to $200, later on there will be orders for graves with a value of $650 to $1,500, and the most eccentric customers will be able to pay for graves within a price range from $6,000 to $100,000.
You should take into account that it is a huge mistake to accept orders for expensive graves too early in the game, because you won't be able to satisfy the customer's requests altogether. Wait with accepting more expensive orders until you are sure that you have saved enough money to create a grave according to the customer's wishes AND the related price range.
When the burial has taken place, the visitors will leave your graveyard, your reputation bar will fill up, and you will earn money and some Lithode crystals
As soon as you receive payment by a customer, a review window will open up, summarising the most important aspects of this payment
Each customer has special likes and dislikes, and you should always try to stick to those requests. Crossed out objects should be avoided at all costs in the sphere of influence of this grave, because those items will strongly lessen the appeal of this grave to the customer, and therefore also its value
Later on you should only accept orders by customers requesting a price range between $6,000 and $100,000, because in this way you will reach your goals remarkably quicker.
VIP Customers:
With the purchase of each new plot you will be able to bury so-called VIP at special graves. To be able to bury them you have to earn a certain amount of Lithode Crystals. As soon as you accept to bury them, there are only some days left to do so, so you should gain the required amount of Lithode crystals before you actually accept the burial. You mainly earn Lithode crystals through other burials and by walking past blue, flashing crystals that sometimes appear on your graveyard. For each successful burial of a VIP (at most three) you can choose another reward.
The first VIP is Molly Kule. You need 250 Lithode crystals for the burials and have eight days to do so.
For the second VIP's burial you have to earn 350 Lithode crystals and have ten days to prepare the grave.
The third and last VIP requires 700 Lithode crystals and you have ten days to finish this burial again.
Presents:
All in all you have to buy 10 different presents for Mimi, which get more and more expensive. My advise is to not deposit any money at the bank in the beginning, because earlier in the game you need every dollar to grow your own business. You can purchase the presents later on when you have saved enough money anyway
Some of the presents get unlocked later on when you have purchased additional plots for your graveyard, and the tenth present, namely $1,000,000 to spend on leisure and entertainment, gets unlocked when your reputation is maximized. This can happen long before you have buried all VIPs, but you are able to keep playing even when you have already bought the last present.
Rewards:
When you obtain certain achievements, such as buying new land or burying a VIP person, you are able to choose from eight different awards which are of great help to grow your business
ZombGon: You can use this once per day to get rid of Zombies. In my opinion this reward is not that important, since you should try to avoid that graves lose value (and then causing a Zombie walking all over your graveyard) from the first.
Three Gold and Obsidian Statues of animals: These statues can be found in your structures-box if you choose them, and they can be used just like ordinary structures, only that they did not cost you any dollar, and that they highly increase the worth of any grave. This reward is a pretty smart choice to create some very expensive graves.
Mulch 4000 Tractor: In this vehicle Mr. Jones can drive instead of walk. On top of that he can cut down trees when driving this tractor, and the tree stump is removed automatically. I highly recommend this reward, since it saves you a lot of time and is a great support when your graveyard gets really large.
A Warrior, a Cat, and a Bust: These are also three magic items which strongly increase the value of any grave. It's a choice as good as choosing reward #2.
Shovel Attachment for the Mulch 4000: By upgrading your tractor you can even dig graves with it, and much faster than by hand. In this way you can manage every action with the Mulch. Very helpful reward.
Five different Chess Pieces: Again, this reward includes five magic items that boost any grave's value and are liked by every customer.
The Pathlayer for the Mulch 4000: This last addition for your tractor is highly recommended to choose. The cobblestone-paths which you can create with it are definitely worth it.
The Magic Gem Tree: You should choose this reward as soon as you can, since it gets every job done.
Congratulations, you have helped Mr. Jones to spend the rest of his life with Mimi. Now that you have finished the game you can try to beat it again in even less time, or at a harder level of difficulty. Good luck!
