Every store in this table quotes us in euros, so the EUR figure is the price the seller actually set, not our arithmetic — which is why EUR is also the currency we rank in. We only list an offer here when the store gives us its price in euros, so nothing in this table is a number we invented.
Pick USD, PLN, GBP, CAD or AUD in the header and we convert from EUR at the European Central Bank reference rate — converted amounts are prefixed with ~. Your bank or the store may apply a different rate at checkout. We never hide offers based on where you are: everyone sees this whole table.
We may earn a commission when you buy games through links on this page — at no extra cost to you. It never affects our rankings or verdicts.

About Fairy Tale Mysteries: The Puppet Thief
I went in expecting another hidden-object grind, but Fairy Tale Mysteries leans into narrative over filler. You're investigating a puppet thief stealing from a storybook world, collecting clues and talking to familiar characters. The puzzles are straightforward - light inventory logic, some dialogue branching - and the whole experience wraps up in a few hours. It's not challenging, and the art direction is functional rather than gorgeous, but there's genuine charm in how it treats classic tales as a real place where things go wrong. If you're burned out on HOG bloat and want a casual adventure that respects your time, this scratches that itch. Just don't expect complexity or replay value. It's a one-sitting story, competently told, for players who'd rather follow a simple mystery than solve elaborate puzzles.
