Like this and other games from Haiku
The puzzles are varied, different and challenging enough (for me anyway ;-) or are a twist on the normal ones. It's not heavy on video and voice - which I like. The storylines are cute and not overly dramatic. Most of their games supply ways to earn sufficient hints to help you if needed. I have played them all now and hope for more in the future.

Pretty cool!
This is the 8th game I've played by Haiku Games. It was very fun! These games certainly have grown on me, as they have pretty good stories, and excellent puzzles. I probably should be giving most of them 5 stars, because they are free as well (if you don't use IAP). Some of the reviews are critical of the puzzles as unintuitive, but I have to disagree. They are very intuitive; they just sometimes require some additional thinking. If anything they could just be called hard. I definitely have these Adventure Escape games to thank for giving my brain some extra exercise!

Not my favorite Haiku game
I am going thru all the Haiku escape games right now. This one was ok (3 stars) and better than other escape games due to having a plot (albeit weak and trite) and graphics (+1 star) but the puzzles seemed off. Too obscure and too many of them were too hard and/or long. E.g., the mah jongg game was very big and took multiple tries so took a long time. I had to pause to do other stuff and lost all my progress on the chapter. Very frustrating.

Fun challenging game
I love escape the room & puzzle games and I really really enjoyed this game!! It was so good that I didn't want to put it down, but luckily it was divided into levels, so it was easier to pause and continue the next night. It has nice graphics and a simple but interesting story line. What I really enjoyed was the challenging puzzles and complex tasks. While some of the other reviews said that it was not intuitive enough, that is what I enjoyed most. If the first solution I thought of didn't work, I would go back through everything and look deeper into the clues. I was able to make it through and only had to use the hints 4 times, so I had plenty. One suggestion, a few of the tools could be a little more obvious, like the clothespin and tongs. Also, I did need a piece of scratch paper for 2 of the puzzles. If you are looking for a challenge this is for you!

Why?
Okay so, My Partner and I decided to download this game because we enjoyed the challenging aspect of it and wanted to make it a race on who can complete the game first. As you need to challenge your self and think when it comes to the puzzle level.
However, we both reached the same level and did the exact same thing. But in the part where you light the candles and use the gravestones to open the door. My door did not open, and my partners in fact did.
I assumed it was a issue with my phone, (I have an IPhone5, my partner a 4) , I reset the phone and reset the game multiple times, replaying the level but the door continued to not open. My partner helped as well but we are still unable to come to a conclusion as to why it isn't working for me.
I love this game so much because of how challenging it is, that if i knew what I did wrong or why I can't open the door, I would probably rate it a 5.
Help me please?

Magical fun!
I enjoyed the magic element in this game; I'm glad the developers decided to switch things up a bit and add a twist to it! It was a nice and refreshing change. A couple of the puzzles were a little confusing and didn't really make much logical sense but other than that, I really enjoyed it. I love the adventure escape series and can't wait till more new games in this series are released. Keep up the good work developers!

Good as a paid game would be
Like many, this asks for review before one has much experience. It starts well, puzzles are comparable to good games, graphics mostly good except sometimes not a back arrow and one gets stuck on a page. Pop-up comment clues are very helpful. Add on: now that I have finished, this is a really good one. Puzzles are mostly way cool and embarrassing how you can be looking at a simple solution in plain in sight and not see. I would recommend this one.

Not that good
If you're looking to play good escape games, play any other game by Haiku. They're great, but seriously dropped the ball with this one. The story is meh, plus the whole hunting of gypsies is culturally insensitive at best. The puzzles aren't intuitive at all, and not even fun once you finally figure out what you have to do - and that's saying something, because I usually love Haiku Games' puzzles. Seriously, if you want to play a game like this one, play anything else from this developer. If this is your first game from Haiku Games, stay away! I promise the other games are way better than this one, so start out with the other ones and maybe come back to this game if you have played every other game from them.

They did it again
I've played almost all of the escape games from haiku and they're all so amazing. I just finished this one and I think it's one of my favorites. You play as a witch so the element of magic comes into play and you don't get to see that with any other of their games. It's especially really good for a free game. It's actually challenging, I think the story lines are nice, and the art is great. I would definitely recommend it.

Absolutely fantastic!
I'm working my way through all the different kinds of the Adventure Escape games and loving every single one. Not only have they each got a unique storyline but each has a multitude of different puzzles that really make you think outside the box. 10/10.
