It will take you to the whimsical world
The main game is set in the magical world, and the graphics will make you feel that. Compared to the usual digital drawings, it’s hand painted, so it will remind you of the old fairytale books that parents or grandparents read back in the days. It gives a feeling of nostalgia, which will bring back nice childhood memories. The characters are also magical as the people will be dealing with different magical creatures like elves. If you want to take your mind out of the reality even for a while, this game will help you do that.

It starts with the Smith family visiting the grandma, who turned to be missing. After drinking tea, the mother ended up in the Brownie world. The story continues as you complete tasks given in the game.
It will test your time management skills
You have a limited time to complete the tasks, and limited resources too. You need to come up with a strategy to collect what you need to complete the tasks within the given duration. If you run out of time, it will cost you energy. Your energy is also limited and when you run out of it, you need to either wait for it to replenish, which could take some time, or you could make an in-app purchase to continue playing.
It’s free and the ads will give you beads
