Shop-n-Spree review

There are not many people around who would say that they don’t love the idea of shopping. Shop-n-Spree uses this luxurious indulgence of people to churn out one of the most interesting hidden object games ever. The elements of hidden object games along with time management have been used very nicely to provide complete gaming experience to the players. The theme of the game revolves around shopping and gamers would find this to be really interesting.

The story of the game goes something like this: Due to the opening of a Super store the existence of a local store comes under threat. The Super store becomes a huge crowd puller and all the customers start thronging it to the utter dismay of the small store. But there is one problem with the Super store and it is that they don’t know how to retain their customers or even value them. As a result the customers start to trickle back to the small local store. Since the small store is running short on staff, so the owner of the Super store wants to buy or destroy it.

Your aim as a gamer would be to sell as many merchandise as possible to build fund and cater to the shopping needs of the customers. You need to supply the items that the customers have on their list. It can be anything from a wallet to a blouse and you have to drag it over to the customer. The Normal and Hard modes requires you to fulfill a cash target, but you can be saved from this if you are playing in the Untimed mode.

To make the game interesting all the departments are arranged in a different way and even there are some departments where the items are placed in a haphazard way, so it will be really tough to find out the hidden objects. There are also some mini games to spice up the things and winning them can fetch you some hints. There are also tasks that require you to get the store ready before the arrival of the customers in the morning.

Shop-n-Spree gives you ample amount of time to settle our eyes and there is also a lot hints that you can earn by completing certain tasks. For instance, finding the ‘fun tags’ or completing the mini games can earn you some hints making your game a lot easier.

Conclusion: Shop-n-Spree has very good graphics and is a completely different game as far as the theme and story is concerned. There are some problems with the game like customers not clearly stating their requirements and this can be a little frustrating for you. But one of the positive aspects of the game is that you do not lose customers if you take time to find the objects and this really helps while attending to multiple customers. Shop-n-Spree is a fun game casting a spell on you with all its charming aspects. Shop till you drop is the main aim of the game and it takes you on a fun filled shopping spree.
