Matchmaker: Joining Hearts

Helen Jones is an elderly woman that, after her son and five daughters got married, decided to retire to a seaside town. She has a natural talent to find matching partners, and soon starts to act as the local Cupid, using her special skills to examine a series of candidates for several of her neighbors.

Matchmaker: Joining Hearts is a hidden object game where, most of the time, the objective is to find and click on all the items listed at the bottom of the screen on locations filled with scattered paraphernalia. The list shows names or silhouettes of the required objects. A time limit can be turned on at the start for extra challenge. The hint button is a Cupid cameo at the bottom-left corner, throwing arrows at one of the list objects to highlight its position, but taking some time to recharge after use. A gameplay variation occurs at the end of each chapter, where objects have to be returned to their correct places on the screen to complete the scene.
