Dream Day First Home Game Review

Wonderfully Romantic! Great Fun! Beautiful Scenes!

Those are just a few words to describe Dream Day First Home. This is the third release of the immensely popular Dream Day Series games. Even if you haven't had the pleasure yet of playing any of the Dream Day games in the series, you can start with this one. The series is set up so that you don't have to play the others first, unless you want to play them in storyline order. I started with this game without any problems jumping into the story. The first game of the series is Dream Day Wedding, and the second is Dream Day Honeymoon.

Ladies, we all wouldn't mind a little more romance in our lives, now would we?! How about some fun decorating thrown in? Helping a newlywed couple get started with their first home? A little mystery, too, maybe? Sounds fun, doesn't it? It absolutely is!! This game has it all. The current theme of the story is about a newly married couple, Jenny and Robert Gilman, just back from their dream honeymoon. You get to pick their first home out for them, help them get moved in, help them shop, decorate, make decisions, and aid them in overcoming a few inevitable homeowner crises. You'll get to do fun things like design rocking chairs, storage trunks, quilts, etc. At certain times you'll also be able to pick out new cabinets, new flooring, paint, etc. Don't forget the mystery part - you'll be able to unlock secret levels, bonuses, and more. Fun!!

As you pick up hidden objects from the rooms and locations, you're slowly helping the couple clear up the rooms - your finding objects helps them pack things away to get settled in. It's not annoying like going through our own homes picking up after our messy kids and husbands, boyfriends, etc. though. This is much more fun! We're helping the couple move in. You also are shown before and after pics - just like the shows on Home And Garden TV!



One of the great perks of the game is the Choose A Story portion. These are times when you get to pick each step of a mini story to determine the final outcome of a given situation. If any of you reading this are 80s kids like me, then you might want to think of them as mini versions of the popular "Choose Your Own Adventure" books from 1979-1998. After completing a story path, bonus items are revealed. You look for these bonus items in the next scene you search - but don't forget to find these bonus items, because they won't appear in your list.

The Mini Games of Dream Day First Home are so much fun, also! You play the mini games in order to unlock the attic bonus level. There are three mini games to choose from, and you get to play each one four times (for each home), in any order you choose. The three games are: Perfect Match, Puzzle Garden, and Fix-R-Upper. Perfect Match is a type of memory game with a few twists. Puzzle Garden has you match up corresponding yard and garden-related objects to clear the board. Fix-R-Upper was my favorite, and it is a game that lets you decorate and design things such as rocking chairs, storage trunks, quilts, etc. - but with a slot-machine twist to it. I don't want to give too much detail, so that's all I'll tell you about that mini game here.- you'll have to see it for yourself by playing the game. After you finish each game, a portion of the attic will be cleared away or remodeled. Once you complete all the games overall, you'll get to see a wonderful surprise!

A few other things I LOVED about this game were the music, scenery, and graphics. Hidden Treasures Realty offers you two gorgeous houses you can choose from to start your game. You can play the other house later, too - so it seems like you get two-games-in-one! One of the homes is the Victorian Home and the other is the Craftsman Home. The Victorian Home is just as it sounds - beautifully Victorian. The Craftsman Home is more of a classic style from around the 1930s. Even the beautiful music they play while in each home matches the home's style. Lovely Victorian-era music plays for the Victorian Home, and smooth, light-jazzy and easy-listening music plays while in the Craftsman Home. The graphics can't be beat, and you are given numerous, beautiful scenes to search. Some are: Living Room, Bedroom, Office, Susie's Garden Oasis, Kitchen, Library, Backyard, Columbia Hardware, Dream Home Paint & Tip, Helen's Fine Cookware, and more.

Here are a couple of tips for you: There are golden "magical nest" eggs hidden in the scenes. Some are bright gold and some are darker gold - look closely! Make sure to pick all of these up - because for every five you collect, you earn an extra hint. Also, make certain to make use of the stashed hints you have available. You can save yourself a good amount of time on the clock (the game also has an untimed version you can select if you like). Whenever you need a hint, there is an adorable little golden hummingbird who'll be happy to help you out.



In summary, what a fun, romantic, searching and decorating adventure this game was! I can't wait for the next game in the series to come out!
