Be sure to see my selection of games chosen specifically for one of my favorite holidays. 5 Mac Games for Halloween Part 1 and 5 Mac Games for Halloween Part 2. Now, on to The Conjurer below.

The Conjurer for macImagine the most powerful and celebrity magician inviting the top 10 illusionists to his dark, spooky castle. Who’d fall for THAT trap? All of them, it seems. They all accept. Of course, this invitation comes with some strings. Each magician must conjure up his finest routine, the best he has ever delivered. Impressing is key and whoever performs the number one illusion or magic trick, will gain access to the greatest magician’s highly coveted secrets. The plot sounds simple but nothing is as it seems in the world of magic. It turns out that one of the competitors is out to kill the host magician. WHO is it? Obviously, someone who doesn’t want or need his secrets… Play through puzzles and magic tricks  throughout this hidden objects game while discovering who the guilty party is…before it’s too late!

Fun Friday of Five Mac Games for Halloween Part 1

Campfire Legends: The HookmanCampfire Legends: The Hookman – Get ready to be frightened…and entertained all at once. Just in time for Halloween, Campfire Legends: The Hookman delivers a hidden objects, point and click adventure that will keep you at the edge of your seat, and you’ll love every minute of having the daylights scared out of you. Christine and her sweetie take a short trip for a romantic getaway at her parents’ cabin in the woods. Upon their arrival they find the cabin ransacked and their belongings and other items scattered every which way. As they try to return everything in order, the long, long night begins to reveal that someone is lurking about. Prepare yourself because you might hear a lot of screaming…coming from your own mouth!  Download it

Ashley Jones and the Heart of EgyptPlants vs. Zombies – In a war between plants and zombies, you’d imagine that the little vegetation soldiers would not have a chance. Not so, not so! Well, not necessarily so. It’s up to you. The cutest zombies you’ve ever seen are heading towards your house to invade it, and you need to mulchify, confuse and weaken them before they reach your front door. Use your arsenal of pea shooters, cherry bombs, purple devourers  and more to fight the undead. Watch out for the pole vaulting zombies and do play the mini game of Zombie bowling using potatoes. Download it

Princess Isabella A Witch’s CursePrincess Isabella A Witch’s Curse – Every single room in Princess Isabella’s castle is cursed. Not only that, but also everyone in the castle has been turned into mirrors, except Princess Isabella. She was lucky enough to be out while a wrathful witch snuck in and put an evil spell on the entire château. That’s a royal pain, so now you’re on a quest to reverse this most unfortunate series of events and release your friends and family from their glass menagerie. The game features marble shooters, logic puzzles, jigsaw puzzles, adventure quests, even a quiz – the game will keep you happily occupied wandering around this enormous regal home, solving, playing and ultimately defeating the wicked witch. Download it

Whack the DeadWhack The Dead (free) – Halloween is one of those holidays that I get really excited about, even though I now live in France where no one knows quite how to celebrate it like Americans do. That’s okay, though, because I’ll simply celebrate it with Halloween-themed games. Why not fête this year by whacking the dead? C’mon, it’s fun. This tiny, silly game on your desktop is perfect for a one minute game play of not only whacking zombies with shovels, but also with revolvers, shotguns and grenades. Beat my score of 1001! I dare you. Download it

SweetopiaSweetopia – What is Halloween without candy? No candy corn, mini Snickers, cute bags of M&Ms? Halloween is not Halloween without candy, so I’ve included this excellent orb shooter that I’d say is one of the top five of this genre. Consider it a cross between Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Zuma. Kate Gainsborough is re-opening her grandfather’s old candy factory, but runs into problems. One disturbing hurdle is the two sherbet sizzle candies if they should collide will blow up the building and destroy all of Kate’s hard work. Your job is to keep these two orbs away from each other by matching three or more like color candies to pop them with sphere launchers. Download it

Here’s Part 2 of Halloween Mac Games, but every Friday, Mac Games and More features five casual Mac games you might not have heard of – to take you into the weekend. Be sure to check these games every week! Click on the images to enlarge them.
