Gifting
Please, oh please change the way to gift our friends. Your present gifting practice is gifting exactly 24 hours apart. This is too restrictive. Please change to gifting once in every 24 hours. This will help anyone who works or has real life issues a chance to gift. Sometimes I am free to gift in the morning or I can gift in the afternoon or evening, but I just cannot gift in that exact 24 hour time.
There are too many pop ups. After a pause in play, a pop up appears and once it is Xed out, another one takes its place! Then I’m given a “buy me” screen. It has to be tapped 3 times and the the objects to “buy me “ go through a ‘dance’ until the final amount of objects are in the pop up. These pop ups are ridiculous. Let us play the game.
With the above rants out of the way, this is a beautiful game with great picture graphics. For the most part, play is seamless and fast. Some objects are difficult to find, but you are playing a hidden object game. I am glad that the game developers finally dropped the morph and pieces puzzle layouts. So far I have usually given the game 5 stars.Show lessDebjimar

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback on gifting and pop-ups. The pop-up windows provide useful information about the game milestones and time-limited offers. We're sorry if they have annoyed you somehow. We're glad you enjoy the game in general. Your insights are valuable, and we appreciate your continued support!10/10 would DEFINITELY recommend
A beautiful game with an amazing community! The developers put a lot of hard work into creating new content every month…new puzzles, music, and game items! They also address any glitches that may arise very quickly 🥰 You can tell that this company and their developers care about their players and are proud of their work. I have always felt like they treat the players with fairness and respect 🥰. You can play this dense game that is FULL of content for free with no strings attached, but you may want to buy some crystals from time to time in order to support the continuing, excellent work on the game ☺️ There are pictures of a wide variety of exotic locales with varying levels of difficulty, so you are sure to find several that you love to play. The objects are hidden in ways that continue to keep me on my toes after years of gameplay. There is so much to do that you can play as casually, or as deeply as you wish. There is a fun storyline, with new “event” stories every month. Come for the awesome gameplay, but stay for the amazing friends that you will make from an international player base. The in-game message system includes the ability to translate! The players are caring and generous and there are many eager to help new players get on their feet 😀🥰 Feel free to ask questions and introduce yourself 😀 You may make a friend for life 🥰 On behalf of my fellow players, I welcome you and can’t wait to see you in the game 😀Show lessDaniknispel

I have been enjoying playing this game. I particularly appreciate the ability to open a new room each month. I like the variety of modes to explore rooms in. These variations keep the game interesting.
I DO NOT like all of the invitations to join other G5 games that appear every day. Up to 50 per day. It has been brought to my attention that although it says a particular friend has sent the invitation, when checking with them, they often have never sent any invitation. Recently a friend contacted me to ask that I stop sending them invitations. I have NEVER sent an invitation to any existing friend to join any game. I play only Secret Society and am not familiar with the various games that invitations to join are sent as if I have suggested this. For G5 to send invitations to other players saying I have invited them to join a game I have never played is misleading and disliked by other players. It is a frustrating policy and the biggest downside of playing the game. I believe that It would be welcomed by the majority of players if G5 were to stop sending invitations in the name of players who have not sent them and many of us hope G5 amends their policy of doing so.
Aside from this issue, this is my favorite game to play involving object searches combined with puzzles.Show lessCrev68

Tech support quick to respond to game freezing while I Visit Friends function of game. Game links to Facebook, and yesterday there was an update to Facebook for iPad version anyway, to correct Facebook crashing issues among other technical issues. So I will Visit Secret Society friends now to see if problem resolved or not. Update: 2nd time FB has issued another update to fix recurring crashes, installed FB update. Now previously fixed game FREEZING now recurring. As former information systems professional, does this then require G5 to do another Fix for now Freezing issue? There is no Secret Society update. So I think I will have to check email from G5 which did fix Freezing link, possibly a Case # to provide. I can not troubleshoot error I am Player of game, not G5 Technical Troubleshooter or Game Programming Professional. Facebook not so good in fixing things historically. Needless to say, this is very aggravating. Have improvents been made with Rename of Facebook to META? Or is Meta holding company or is it Technical arm of Facebook?Show less0930Anuk

This is a great game to past the time and it's always got new things to do returning to it again and again. It could use more energy resources so that you don't have to wait as long to restore your energy. It also lets you help out friends and in return they can help you as well. There is a downside to this game though it gives you more of the items you don't need and less of what you do need. It also needs more puzzles up top and more anomaly fighting items in more locations. Ok already you said friends list was fixed but it's not haven't been able to visit or send gifts for 4 days have tried everything but no luck getting thru to server so get it fixed please !! And also put a chat box in so you can chat with friends. This is starting to get frustrating why can't the sever be reached and why does this continue to happen. You have said you fixed this twice now. It's a great game but without the friends and gifts it's not fun and I find myself not playing until you get it fixed. Please hurry !! Thank you. Ok now I have no friends I'm still getting gifts from people but all my friends have vanished. Please fix asap. Thank you.Show lessSDS3112

Update: 2024
Game has improved since I wrote the last review. They have added some features and corrected some mistakes of the past so I now have upgraded the rating to 4 stars .
March 2019-I’ve played this game for at least 2 years and the major updates lately have been bad. Useful talismans have been removed from several scenes, several scenes have been redesigned to make the objects unrecognizable, and the rewards upon completion have been reduced. In short, the company is clearly looking for more $ to play to the point that it is now ridiculous. DON’T FALL FOR IT. Let’s send a message by not paying another cent. 2016:I've paid money more than once for this game so I find it very irritating that both a uTube and regular splash ad launches each time I play the game. Paying customers shouldn't be interrupted by intrusive ads. Both ads need to be cancelled to return to the game. The game play itself is fine and I will raise the rating if ads are removed. Update 7/18: the ad splash problem described above was fixed but the latest update has created a new problem. Zoom has been restricted so you now can’t zoom in closely to find hidden objects. Talisman rewards are hard to get. I enjoy the game overall but dislike how updates constantly seem to push users to spend more money. I have spent enough.Show lessMI-Ogre

I have been playing this game for well over five years ….one of the things I love best about this game is that it changes frequently so I don’t get bored. Also, I like the fact that they are are some pictures that are easier and some pictures that are harder. This allows me to improve my game by playing some pictures more often in order to learn where the parts are. This is challenges, my brain to remember the location of items in the picture. And yes, the location does change of the items forcing your brain to remember more than one thing. This game is excellent for not allowing my brain or my eyes to age. also one of the things I love is that I don’t have to pay to be able to win these games. It may require me going back to another picture in order to gain the items that I need to complete a collection. But that makes it even more fun. I have to work for what I get. I will continue to play this game as long as I have eyes and a brain.Show lessnana nee

Thank you for the amazing review. We’ll try our best to keep up the good work!I’m about to quit.
I am TIRED of having other game players send me personal messages, scolding me like I’m a child because they don’t get the gifts they want from me. If you don’t like my gifts, find another friend that’ll give you the gifts you want. Even better, BLOCK/UNFRIEND me. I am GROWN. bullying me about “ugh, it’s a FREE gift, WAAAAAAAAAH” and “life hack” is not going to get you what you want any faster. If gifts are given without penalty against what I have earned, then what is the point of the monthly challenges? I literally can wait until it ends and just ask for what I want from people and not do anything. So I’m over it. I’m tired of trying to get to 1,000 friends but I’ve hovered around 975 for about a year, I’m tired of only having about 150 active friends out of the 975, I’m tired of people getting angry when they don’t get what they want but they don’t give me what I want. I’m tired of putting in a ton of effort to finish challenges just for others to decide they want someone to hand everything to them. And I sure as heck am not going to listen to a nameless, faceless entity tell me anything existing in a virtual space is a freaking “life hack”. This game is a GAME. It’s not reality. Life hacks are for REAL LIFE sweetie. So yeah, this and the word game about about to give me some memory back on my phone and computer.Show lessRahiseter
