I love carnival games and games set in carnivals.  I love logic type puzzles, too.  My guess for the number sequence is * 60 *

And we have a winner! 

The Others isn't set in a carnival but it's set in the part of town next to a carnival and you have to play a few of the games, plus go through the haunted tunnel on a boat 2 or 3 times.  I know you can go through the tunnel whenever you want but I didn't think to check if you can play the side-alley games again once you've gotten what you need from them.  I remember I played Whack-a-Mole and the one where you move a hand over and try to pick something up (unfortunately I got it first go ) and there's a shooting game.  You have to beat the high scores (not that it's all that difficult).  There are also things to pick up in the haunted tunnel.  Unfortunately, I think that's all there were, but they were fun!  I should have gone back and tried playing them all again. 

So I'd definitely recommend you demo The Others as I think you play all the games in the demo, although you have to go back to the haunted tunnel later in the game.  After that the game moves from section of town to section of town, sometimes exploring on your own, sometimes doing things for people you meet in order to get what you need.
 

I'm debating on my 75% off game at GameHouse.  I could get Gardens Inc 2 PE, $20 - 40% = $12 - 75% = $3, but there's only 5 bonus levels, but it includes strategy guide.  That would also give me 3 punches towards another 75% off and Princess Isabella for $1.20 would give me another.  Or I can just get a regular game, for $1.50 with the sale and my discount.  The regular game would either be Shadow Shelter or a 10-games-in-1 M3 bundle.  I have to decide by tomorrow.

For my 2 PCCs I can use at BFG I"m choosing between True Fear, Alices Mind Snare, Shadow Shelter, The Others, Raincliff Phantoms, Space Legends, or Jack and the Sky Kingdom.  At least I'm getting a wish list built up for a future BOGO.

Wendy, as I have every game you've listed except Jack and the Sky Kingdom (that one just didn't grab me so I won't be getting it) but haven't played them all yet, I can't help you much.  However, the Magical Mystery Match 3 10-in-1 Bundle (which I have) for the price of one SE is really good value.  I have both Garden Inc. games, the second one the Platinum Edition. 

As you know, Shadow Shelter and The Others are my 2 fav SEs at the moment and I'd recommend those over Space Legends, Jack and the Sky Kingdom and Mind Snares: Alice's Journey (which I've played and is also good but not as good as the other 2 IMHO). 

I have the CE of both Mystery Trackers: Raincliff's Phantom and True Fear: Forsaken Souls but haven't played them yet so I can't comment.  However, True Fear is one I've really been looking forward to playing, but I've been trying to start cutting down on my unplayed list and so have been playing shortish SEs rather than longer CEs.  But True Fear is the first CE I'll be playing, probably after the one I'm playing now.

But Wendy, you have to use a code (TASTY) this time to get the 40% discount at GH, it's not just 40% off everything automatically like they sometimes have, and you can only put one code in, like at BFG, so you can only get either 40% off or 75% but not both.  Sorry.

I'd forgotten all about this game.  I got it when it first came out and played it right through immediately.  I LOVE Sticky Linky and recommend it 1000%!    Especially as it's FREE today! 
 

Just a follow up on  the Vikings,  (the game,  not our football team)  which I'm still playing.  For one thing,  I always play in relaxed mode,   if available.  It's a little frustrating when the fires keep going out,  but doable,  and not as bad as some other games.  What I really wanted to alert you on is this:  all you arachnophobes,  BE WARNED!   The  Vile Spiders  (that's what they call them)  don't go away,  but seem to have become a feature of the game.  Still,  they're not as bad as rescuing people
trapped in their cocoons.
