Please fix the sponsored ad. I can’t go on like this. It’s frustrating at this point! This has always been a childhood favorite of mine. The only issue here is that there has been no ad since l downloaded this game. I’m almost deleting it out of frustration. Watching ads help with added energy for the game especially when you advance to higher levels. I have been deprived of juicy gifts all because I don’t have the luxury of watching ads. Please fix this bug issue. Please 🙏😭 ### 5/5 — Love this game but no ad *2024-12-05* This has always been a childhood favorite of mine. The only issue here is that there has been no ad since l downloaded this game. I’m almost deleting it out of frustration. Watching ads help with added energy for the game especially when you advance to higher levels. I have been deprived of juicy gifts all because I don’t have the luxury of watching ads. Please fix this bug issue. Please 🙏😭 ### 5/5 — Black stone *2024-11-13, version 5.42* Great game, slow to recharge with energy ### 5/5 — Great hidden game! *2024-01-10, version 5.41* Really enjoying this hidden objects game! Love the graphics & storyline. ### 2/5 — Poor visual *2023-12-07, version 5.41* I say poor visual because I am older, my eyesight is not great. This game does not let you expand the scene to zoom. Also when I click on my hint button, nothing happens. It’s doesn’t point to item or encircle it…but I lose my hint. So I have deleted game through frustration. ### 5/5 — Blackstone *2023-03-29, version 5.41* When are we going to get an update ### 4/5 — Fun, fun, fun *2023-03-27, version 5.41* I play until my energy is all used up 3 or 4 times a day. ### 4/5 — Surprise Winner! <3 *2022-09-18, version 5.41* I actually got this game to get points in another game from this developer (Mystery Society) but realized that I like this one better! I love the variety of activities available, mini games that don’t rely on the energy points from the main game, an office to decorate, trading items with friends (or even random players if you want), trading items with in game characters, and completing tasks, ALL of which earn you points, items, coins, or energy! THE ADS ARE OPTIONAL! You can choose to watch them if you want a free hint, energy, coins, etc. Hats off to the developers on that decision! It’s the “catch more flies with honey than vinegar” approach. REWARD you for watching ads instead of punishing you with them for playing their game. I’m over here happily watching ads because I get a much needed hint or get to play just a bit longer with the extra energy. I’m on level 16 and very happy with this game, ads and all! Update: On level 26 and have lost a good deal of enthusiasm for this game because I am not able to complete any of the tasks. I can play a scene over and over, level that scene up as far as it goes, and they almost never give me the items that I need to complete the the assigned tasks. I still level up in the game in general, but there’s no joy in it when the achievables are impossible. ### 3/5 — Slow progress in Blackstone *2022-07-10, version 5.41* I’ve played this game for awhile not but have never been able to play beyond the first two scenes with the exception of paying a visit to the Living Room and Abandoned Hospital both of which I had to pay game loot paid for by playing and watching ads. When I tap on different scenes, most of them are distant levels. I’ve never really seen levels 3 thru 10 if they exist. If I want to play thr Living Room or Abandoned Hospital again, I have to pay more game loot. I’ve played that forest and that room with the bed every way imaginable from pictures to words to shadows to guess what. I’m actually beginning to wonder if the game is legit. I am considering uninstalling this app. ## Frequently asked questions about Blackstone Mysteries ### What is Blackstone Mysteries?
