  • Suggestions

    Smaller arrows or relocate them to NOT impede collection items needed or block board when searching. Better zoom when using compass or make compass movable with finger. Less energy used for higher boards. Yes, energy earned increases as you move through the books and rank but so does the required amount in books so you really aren’t gaining anything and it takes too long to replenish.
    Better control over story tasks and when they become available and unlock. Too much at once and makes the story hard to follow.
    Repeating levels or boards due to game glitch and reset is extremely annoying and happens at least twice a month.
    Although these are small annoyances, I do enjoy the game.

  • Need more options

    The only suggestion I have is to be able to use coins to buy more of the gems. It is too expensive to have to keep buying them otherwise! Now the new month brings more charges to the gems…. Sigh The red gems are needed if you want to advance and you just don’t provide many options… I have already spent too much money to play and we should be rewarded for playing a lot by being able to “earn” the red gems in other ways also. I love the game but won’t be able to afford it . Have an issue with the “clubs” in this game. No matter how many hours we play, there aren’t enough hours to be able to win. Was in a club that had 15/players and I usually had one of the top two scores but with 3 days, we could never make it. Too frustrating. Most of the clubs only have 1-3 people. No a doable challenge by any means

    The graphics and vocabulary used are great. The game is creative and challenging, but it is truly cost prohibitive once you really get into the game. And what is the use of earning gold coins? You can’t buy rubies with them, and you can only earn rubies very, very sparingly. It’s the rubies that you need to use to buy the devices you need to help you along the way. It is for these reasons that I downgraded the gaming experience, am contemplating deleting the game altogether, and have not mentioned it to friends. I need certain assemblers but can’t earn them even though I win the game. I do spend money on this game but come on be fair. Please consider making it plausible to earn assemblers without having to MOSTLY use crystals. UPDATE. I just recently deleted the game even though I enjoyed it. I simply can’t justify spending that much money on a game. Perhaps you might consider making things more reasonable to buy. Best of luck. Update...The bottom line is to make the game more affordable for a wider range of players especially during this long drawn out pandemic. Actually, I can’t see that you have changed that many things that were in need of it. It is for this reason that I haven’t suggested it to friends. Sorry. Please make it easier to use gold coins to buy crystals as well as our own money. Also, let us use gold coins to buy tools etc. Please think about it. Thank you.

    Hello, thank you for sharing your opinion. We admit that the game may seem difficult at some levels, but all of them can be passed without making any purchases. There are also many ways to get extras that can help you progress further. The game has many quests with crystals among rewards, make sure to complete them all! Additionally, we would like to mention that you can use coins to purchase certain items in the in-game Store and unlock new locations. We are trying to keep the game balanced, and we will continue to improve it.

    It’s very interesting: I’m having trouble staying connected to FB. It’s always telling me to sign up I have sign in. It’s almost like it’s hacked. That’s a pain. But I like the concept of the game. I just wish the energy wouldn’t run out so quick. & if I & others had just played a mini game or spin a wheel or see a ad or even answer a trivia question to give 15 / 30 seconds of time right b4 time dropped for the last 1/2 items left to get on the board to try to finish that game slot. At this rate nobody goes further into the game. Ppl get burned out on games when it’s play over & over for a duration of time. But I do like the game & I like the little gifts I seek as treasures thru- out the game. I only give 4 stars bc this way u all get a chance to not be perfect (nothing never perfect) that gives way to improvement. I do this to all games. Happy New Year 2023 with new adventures & new updates .

    Hi! The game energy restores over time - one energy point within 3 minutes. You can speed up its recovery by using boosters. Additionally, you can get extra energy points as a reward for completing some of the game tasks. If you've encountered any issues with the game, please report them to support@g5e.com so that our representatives could assist you further. Thanks!
  • I Really Like This Game

    I enjoy playing this game because it gives you plenty of energy to spend a quality amount of time exploring the different books & pages & scenes. I also like that I can choose which type of game I want to play; whether match-3 or hidden objects, which is unique. I guess my favorite thing is that they give a good amount of time to search for the hidden objects. I love to play these kinds of games, but I have memory problems & my brain moves slowly because of it. Not everyone has a super computer for a brain, but that doesn’t mean we should be excluded from enjoying games that can help with our mental processes, too. So, thank you for being a little more inclusive to those with mental disabilities, even if that wasn’t your intention😁. I also like that we’re not constantly bombarded with in-app purchase ads, like some other games. Not everyone can afford to spend real money on games while living on small budgets & it gets tiring to get these ads every few minutes. I like that you don’t pop them up so often as to be annoying. My one negative would be that I wish some of the scenes weren’t quite so challenging (Alice in Wonderland, for example). All around fun & pleasant experience that I enjoy nearly everyday.

  • Fun game, but gets pretty grindy w/o micropayments

    Gives you a choice between classic hidden object puzzles or match 3 puzzles, and has a ton of storylines and events. But after the first book, the storylines have only a *chance* of dropping the clue items you’re looking for… unless you pay for boosters, of course. And the puzzle difficulty vs timer curve ramps up fast, once again, pushing for boosters. I understand the need to push micropayments, but this is something I’m playing to relax and it’s rapidly becoming unplayable. I already recommended it to a friend and I’m considering calling her to rescind that recommendation. She, like myself, was looking for relaxing games to play while sick, and this is just going to stress her out and frustrate her instead of helping her.

  • Entertaining, yet Frustrating

    Like the fact that we can do hidden object scenes or M3 boards. Graphics are gorgeous and the brief dialogue exchanges are fun. Early days still, but so far I am enjoying this game. Once the puzzles become far too difficult to complete w/o paid power-ups, I will revisit my review. 😂
    EDIT: never thought it possible that a game so promising would end up sucking all the joy out of playing M3 for me. Yes, the levels need powerups to complete, despite the claims of the developers—or be played too many times to be fun—but I expected that w/FTP. What surprised me was the confusion all the various side quests (for lack of better description) would bring and that tapping on a powerup to learn what it does during a round would lock the “use” screen on. Also, I hate, hate, hate those clocks, lol. I am *so* confused by all the bells and whistles—they are gorgeous, though—that I can only play for 10 minutes at a time, if that.
    So many different stories to explore, but no option to choose less intense levels for a break. I need to find a paid version of a M3 game like I select for the hidden objects games I play too. 3 or 4 storybooks per game in a series might be worth considering, G5 as an additional option to what you’ve got here.

  • Challenging but costly

    I am totally addicted to this game. It has many search options and twists to our beloved tales. I think at times the game cheats, because I will have found all of the items, but it will switch back to needing one or two items left to find and sometimes it stalls. Maybe that’s my iPad’s fault but it happens too much to be a coincidence. I think my main pet peeve is that I don’t understand what the purpose is for collecting coins. There isn’t anything you can use them for. For example, why can’t coins be used to purchase diamonds? Or energy? Or the current storyline’s item, like Cinderella’s ribbon? Just a question. Other than that, it is a very addicting game.

    Fun game! Very enjoyable. Fast paced on 5G. Downloads fail with added time. I switch back and forth only using my fingerprint, or the same for closer chats, tight run on 5G. You’ll wait a long time…if you have multiple people out here on 4G or less. Great game! Rated Jurisdiction is a clear path to success. It makes 5G Adults accessible with $..😊 ..Unbeatable. The only mind control for a kid is…it’s addicting. As an adult, we play Super. I don’t spend much $ at all. This game will let you gamble…bitcoin…changeover… If you know what you need and have it, or can access it through the game. Play hard and tough. Take care of the friends you make! Pay it forward! Recruit successful candidates as friends! They will help you…when they notice you have played for nearly 7 years. And give sought after items. Let’s play “Sherlock” make your first destination mine. I will help starters and very advanced. See you soon fellow successful friends! ❤️👀❤️signed kzrla or Kapna.

  • Challenging games

    Sherlock has twists on familiar books, colorfully illustrating the plots. Each has hidden objects with several levels of difficulty. Although I don't usually buy tools, I found for the most challenging tasks, I could not complete the goal without helpers. Since the game does not run ads every level, I decided to purchase a basic package. Along the way, some tools and energy are provided, so you can play without purchases. It also helps to add friends, who can Gift you an item each day. If you are on Facebook, Like the page, look for the post with players' names, and Invite.
