What we thought about Silverlicious

I loved this game for Giana. A lot of the games seem to be about making characters and not really exploring with them.  This game is not like that at all. You really get into it, as you wander around the world, guiding this cute lovable character. My daughter has begged to play it everyday since we got it. Using please and thank you increase the sweetness meter in the game. I love that she has been saying please and thank you even more than she normally does which is a lot. She even curtsies at us now!

 I loved that this game is about kindness, good manners and helping others in need.

The fact that you can boost your “sweet meter” with every good deed and polite remark, carries  into our life at home, so it makes the game much more "real" than other games she might play. Whereas they are mostly about earning tokens to personalize, this game goes so much deeper than that.  "You’ll quickly discover that true sweetness comes from much more than cupcakes and cookies. "

Since Giana loves to create, one of her favorite parts of the game was when she got to "design" cookies. (That's what she calls it!)

 This is becoming Giana's fast favorite and it should go without saying it is swiftly becoming mine too! I am always looking for games that reinforce good manners, and this one definitely does!

The holiday screens are so cute too! It's amazing how far games have come since we were little! Visit the land of Easter Excitement just in time for the Easter holiday where you can twirl, glide and dance along with Edgar the Easter Bunny and his many Easter chicks! 

I believe this will make a GREAT Easter present for your little Pinkalicious fan!

I give it 5 stars out of 5 stars!
