Overall Great Start but Experiencing Glitches the more I play
What can I say? This has been one of my top favorite mobile game apps. Puzzle games like this are my favorite. I even have a whole book on Search and Finds. Finding this game was great and definitely helped me kill time in between my Minecraft gaming. Ive opened all available maps, completed 1 level minimum of each puzzle style (classic, paired and timed) for each map, finished all the thieves smaller puzzle, completed a few puzzle hunts challenges and even completed 1 month of daily puzzles. I’ve paid for have the ads removed. I know there are still ads if you want a free bonus like a compass but that’s expected. I’ve experienced that in other phone games. I’ve even signed in with my Apple ID and Facebook account to keep my progress synced however lately, I’ve been experiencing gameplay issues. The fps has dropped significantly. While I have no proof of exact numbers, I can best describe to change as going from a steady 60 fps down to 15. I’ve played on Wi-Fi and with data and there is no difference between the two in terms of the frames drop. The screen will jump when I’m zooming in, tapping on the item I found, and even following the compass path. It’s been going on for a while now and it’s starting to impact my ability to keep playing. I do come back because I enjoy the game overall but this frame rate drop has been increasing my desire to play something else.Show lessalyssaac719

Edit: May 2023 - what the heck is going on with this game? It freezes, jumps and goes in super slow motion. I log out of the game, come back in and I’ve lost 7-10 magnifying glasses doing nothing but loggin out and back in. So frustrating. I won’t play this anymore until this gets resolved. And it is THIS game because Inhave no issues with any other games or apps on my iPad.
I loved this game until a couple things happened…first, the game froze when loading, so I had to delete the app and then reload it, which unfortunately meant I lost all my levels, hints, etc and had to start over at level one with one scene only. Secondly, I would get an ad when I finished a level, which is more than fair. However, now that I had to delete and reload the app, I am literally getting an ad about every 10-15 seconds. I am getting more ad time than game time and that is ridiculous. I am likely going to delete the app and maybe check back in a few months to see if the developers are actually listening and responding to the feedback they are currently getting, because the responses are all the same - too many ads, too little game time. Listen up developers, because you will have no app soon…Show lessSar328
NOT WORTH IT
Love these time consuming pointless games this would have been a good one to my addition BUT
2 min into the game after downloading INSTANT AD now I don’t mind looking at Ads but another 2 min ANOTHER AD then 2/3 min later ANOTHER AD now it’s $5 would I pay $5 for a game YES again the BIG BUT they designed this game so you just outright pay for the Ad less version which is $4.99 let’s just say $5 other games I’ve payed atleast gave me 30+ min of game time before bombarding me with obnoxious Ads that 30+ min of game time helps us decide “well helps me anyways” again I don’t mind paying but I refuse to pay for these games where the company just sets it up to annoy you with Ads every few min so they gain Ad revenue so underhanded such a shame
Just for the record I travel a lot so I end up at airports I’ve tried the “be social meet/talk to people routine” that gets tiresome after hundreds of flights so these games is a godsend for people like me sitting in an airport albeit if lucky a chair most standing/leaning against a wall these games help waste the time
So yo the Developers of this game STOO BEING SO GREEDY atleast give the potential buyers of the game some time to try out the game before you BOMBARD us with >>>Ad after Ad after Ad after Ad After Ad <<< see how that gets annoying and you expect us to pay outright so we can maybe enjoy a game so SHAME ON YOU DEVsShow lessJPPNYC80
Love hate relationship
Pros: interesting scenes with tons of Easter eggs Engaging and addictive
Cons: you will run out of game play in 1 month. If you start now, you have 13 maps to go through and probably 1 will be released while you play. After that you will wait 1 month for a game that will take 45min to complete. I’m sorry, your gaming prayers have not been answered. I used to play every night before bed. It was so fun I’d have to force myself to go to sleep. Clearly I don’t have that problem anymore. They also have "daily challenges" I am not joking when I say it’s the same thing over and over again. You have 3 options: Find thieves, clean cobwebs, and pop ballons. The items are placed in 1 of 9 maps and you have to find them, only problem is they are always hidden in the same place and since they repeat certain challenges, multiple times every month, it isn’t much of a challenge. I don’t know why they are shooting themselves in the foot. If they need extra money or employees, it’d be easy enough to to put a message in the game with a link. TLDR: Game is fun, but they don’t update it enough to play longterm.Show lessdej is here
Fun Live-Action Movement Colorful Game
I love this game. Reminds me of the seek-and-find games in the back of the “Highlights” magazines when i was a kid. The St Patricks Day tickets and Greek Vases scattered in the the different worlds are a nice addition. Would be fun to have the same kind of search thrown into the mix for other holidays ie Valentine’s Day, Christmas, Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, Chinese New Year, US NewYears, Japanese New Years, Eid al-Fitr etc.
The reviews posted from JUEJUEY Sept 23rd and NOTAHOOF June 5th have some great suggestions. I like the idea of the stationary items ie Compass/magnifying glass off the page, added to the tray of items that can be minimized so they are off the screen. I play on my iPad and when I zoom in/out sometimes i hit the compass/magnifying glass by mistake. I use them sparingly as I love the challenge, but I can’t always purchase the packs in the store when needed. Thanks for such a fun game. I have enjoyed playing this game while recovering from major surgery. Keeps my brain busy while I am recovering. Looking forward to new maps-maybe a Mall Of The Americas for those who like to shop, National Parks, Jungle/rainforest, Nepal/Mt Everest, Machu Picchu, Scotland/UK, Isle of Skye, Rome/Italy, Amsterdam/Netherlands, Stockholm/Sweden, Croatia, Costa Rica etc. I have enjoyed the Japan map-I have looked up several of the items to see what they are, how they are used etc. Nice to learn about other places.Show lessGardenbug5

Dear Gardenbug5, Thank you so much for your detailed feedback. We love hearing back from our loyal players. We'll take your suggestions into consideration for future content updates. If you ever encounter any issues with your game, do not hesitate to come back and tell us all about it. Keep scavenging! Popcore teamNot impressed with recent change
I’ve been playing this game for a while now and paid for the no-ads version. I’ve continued to play despite the fact that it’s super predictable when redoing each of the various cities. I appreciate that there are periodically some new cities, as by the time they put out a new one, I’ve done the existing ones many, many, many times.
However, I’m incredibly frustrated with the most recent update (Greece). I was initially given access to it, same as previous ones, and completed it multiple times before it inexplicably disappeared. I now apparently have to UNLOCK it by finding a certain number of a specific object (which has varied from 300 to 200 to most recently needing 100 of these things) to “unlock” the city I had already been playing. The objects aren’t just there for you to collect and be on your way. You have to replay the existing cities MULTIPLE times, waiting several minutes for the object to even become available during a single game. Once you collect it, it’s several minutes again before another will even appear. This is beyond tedious and frustrating since I’ve already played ALL of the cities dozens of times, I have already PAID for the game, I actually ALREADY had access to the city before they “locked” it, and it’s impossible to unlock quickly. I requested support within the app and received no response at all.Show lessJaeci99
Best of the scavenger hunts
Yep, my favorite so far. The pictures are bright, vibrant and fun. I don’t like to be timed because there are so many fun and silly things to see what’s going on in each event. One theme was mars and I thought I’d hate it. Turned out to be my favorite. A water themed one would be neat. I like that they won’t always have things in the same place, so if you redo one, it’ll be fresh with some items relocated in a different area and some remain the same. I like that it shakes it up a little. I would do the daily challenges of finding balloons and what not, but don’t because they are timed. Would like a little bit more flexibility with that. I’ve done all the untuned options. Waiting for a new download or expansion to the existing. So right now I only have the option to just keep playing the same ones over and over.Show lessdaylilystone
Money grubbers
They want $5 for the “new” but not actually new Ancient Greece level or they want you to replay the old levels to unlock it. They’d previously released said level and I played it a bunch of times (it’s not worth $5 btw) then they took it away and put it behind a paywall. They’ve already gone a long time with no new levels, and they already have us replaying old levels for the seasonal stuff. Levels are the most basic component of the game but now they’re expecting me to pay for them or grind for them. Screw that. There are tons of other games that I can play casually that provide regular updates and new levels with no grinding or payment required.
To the developers: Replaying levels is BORING! Adding fees to things that were previously free in a free game is going to have the opposite effect. If I’m going to pay for $5 for just 1 level in a game I expect something more than glitches and cartoon scribbles.Show lessNyx857
Was great
Last week I would have given 5 stars but in the new update they decided to take the latest level (which I had already gotten to level 20+) and delete it. Now you can only play if you pay $5 or you play a hundred levels of previous locations / 50 levels and 50 ads. I’m well past level 100 in all the other levels but I like to bring them all up to the same numbers so not only did I lose my latest progress because they want more money but will have to play even more levels to catch up to the other themes. I’m sure this doesn’t matter to non OCD people and I wouldn’t have cared if I hadn’t lost so much progress. If they wanted to implement this it should have happened with a new location not one people have already been playing for a month or more. They’ve changed other aspects of the game for more profit so I’m wondering what’s next? If progress is going to keep being deleted it’s not worth the frustration.Show lessCaliebond
Really? Charging for a new level when I already paid?
First of all, I loved this game. The ads every 5 seconds were unbearable so I decided to spend the money on the ad-free version. This was fine, and even though they come out with new levels VERY slowly, I’ve enjoyed the new levels that come out every couple of months and have replayed the old ones many many times while I wait patiently for new places/levels to come out. They came out with a new level (ancient greece) and I was so excited! I played through it once, and in the middle of me playing through a second time it disappeared. I assumed it was a glitch, but I was wrong. When the level reappeared it suddenly was “locked” and available as a $4.99 purchase OR I would have to find 100 vases in the other levels which I had already played each 12 times over. Really?! I find that’s super shady. Especially when it was put out and then retracted. I paid for the game to begin with and now you’re taking away the new levels? The old levels are stagnant, and you have to be delusional to think I will be paying $4.99 a level going forward. I’m about to delete it for good at this point. Disappointed to say the least.Show lessMeaghanjean
