### 1/5 — Impossible on mobile

*2026-08-17, version 1.20*

You can’t get past the feet puzzle. Stupid and annoying

### 5/5 — 👍

*2025-10-18, version 1.20*

Enjoyable

### 4/5 — Grandson time

*2025-07-31, version 1.20*

I love these games! 
For the last 5 years it has helped me have many many hours of fun with my grandson. Side by side, hours of fun with just him & I, a notebook and pen for me to take notes- or if it is his time, he can! 
We listen to a variety of music on our stereo and learn about different music together- we always turn game sounds off - no offense, but this lets me know more about what he is doing.
We Star to at 10 years old and are still playing these together now at 15 !
Snuggled up on the couch, nibbling on snacks and enjoying each other! I have jealous friends! I couldn’t make it through the games without him 🙂

### 1/5 — Restarts

*2025-07-08, version 1.20*

Game restarts when I exit out of it. DELETE

### 5/5 — Scottish castle

*2025-06-26, version 1.20*

Ok but won’t let me log in to Facebook for free stars

### 5/5 — Good

*2024-05-25, version 1.20*

Very addictive to play

### 4/5 — Fun game

*2024-04-05, version 1.20*

Haiku games are always fun

### 3/5 — Fun But Dated

*2024-03-20, version 1.20*

After finishing all of the mysteries in the AE Mysteries app, I decided to download this game to play more from Haiku Games. It’s clear this is one of their older games, lacking the style of the new releases and making it less entertaining overall. 

Unlocking chests and the mini games could use some streamlining, I wasted hints because instructions were non-existent, and the gameplay is not very intuitive. Worth a play, if you’re into interactive mysteries and escape style games, but don’t expect the polish of their newer stuff.

### 5/5 — Montana

*2024-03-08, version 1.20*

Great

### 5/5 — Fun

*2024-02-06, version 1.20*

Fun
