While the graphics are similar; that is where it ends. Confusing puzzles where clues don’t match up and screens with no indication that there may be something there. I will give it points for including a fast travel system tho. If you are like me and waiting for the next Fire Maple game To come out, this may be your cup of tea - as confusing as it may be. ### 2/5 — Not great *2025-03-14, version 3.0* This was not as good as the first one. Some of the clues were complete nonsense and the only way to progress was to pay the $1 to get access to the video clues or search it online yourself. I’m all for a good challenge but these were not well thought out and the story line was kind of boring. It’s not a terrible way to pass the time but there are better puzzle games out there! ### 4/5 — Blackthorn castle 2 *2025-01-27, version 3.0* Great game ### 3/5 — Great, but … *2025-01-17, version 3.0* Great, but I find it too difficult at times. I feel it would help if they left more than one clue, for each puzzle. I once had a murder mystery game at my place. I left like two or three clues to move to the next puzzle. People loved it because if one puzzle was to hard, they still had a chance to find the answer by looking for another clue to solve the same problem. If you pay for the cheat videos, it just gives you the answer right away. I wish it would give more clues, and have a give up option, and then show the answer. ### 4/5 — Blackthorn2 *2025-01-12, version 3.0* Really good game takes some time to get used to moving around the different areas.I really enjoyed it thank you ### 5/5 — Love this game. *2024-10-09, version 3.0* Every time I come to my App Store I look for a new game from this company. When one comes out it’s a happy day indeed. As long as they keep making these, I will keep buying them. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2024-07-19, version 3.0* Fun, challenging, and unique. Long game play. Playing all the Uncle Henry games! ### 5/5 — Super 👍 *2024-05-15* Difficile de le quitter tellement il est prenant et les graphismes sont géniaux j ai fait le 1 et plus celui ci ..je vous le conseille 👍 ### 5/5 — Blackthorn *2024-04-30, version 3.0* Nice, simple. Occupies time ### 5/5 — Très beau jeu *2024-04-28, version 3.0* Bien fait, mais beaucoup plus difficile que le premier. Certains puzzles sont incompréhensibles même après avoir visionné la vidéo! Malgré tout, c’est un incontournable, des heures de plaisir et une belle aventure. ### 5/5 — Blackthorn castle 2 *2024-04-27, version 3.0* Another great game, I enjoyed this game very much, beautiful graphics too! ### 4/5 — $1.99 for clues *2024-04-22, version 3.0* Some puzzles make no sense and clues are $1.99!

It is too much and paying for the hints doesn’t work as they too are random. Wished I could refund ### 1/5 — Another great puzzle adventure! *2023-07-15, version 2.8* I would have given it 5 stars but there were 3 puzzles which really didn’t make any sense, even with the video clues. ### 1/5 — 힌트가 적어서 결제유도가 너무 뻔해보임 *2022-10-15* 힌트가 적어서 결제유도가 너무 뻔해보임 ### 1/5 — Page 95 doesn’t respond to hashtag dots on wall *2022-07-19, version 2.7* Frustrated with page 95..the # symbol on wall doesn’t work. Pushed right buttons but is frozen. This has happened many times. Please fix. ### 1/5 — Makes no sense *2021-10-23, version 2.6* Puzzle hints and places make no sense. ### 1/5 — Vraiment déçu *2021-07-29* Vraiment déçu les énigmes étaient illogiques impossible ### 1/5 — Une honte *2021-02-27* On paye une application et en plus il faut payer pour avoir des indices. ### 1/5 — Have bought the game *2021-02-14, version 1.3* Why then do I have to buy extra stuff ### 1/5 — The only mystery I’ve seen *2020-12-29, version 1.3* Is what happened to my long gaff hook? I can’t get the bag down and it’s disappeared! :( ### 1/5 — Blackthorn Castle 2 *2020-11-17, version 1.3* Absolutely impossible to get through this game without looking at the clues, even then, most of the clues don’t make sense. In some cases I had to video the clue on my phone, then try and copy to the game using iPad. I have all Syntaxity games, have been doing them for years and up till now have really enjoyed. My 7 year old has been doing them for 2 years but I will not show him this one despite being suitable for aged 4 years and over. I think someone was having a laugh when they created this game. So frustratingly bad and over. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great storyline *2026-08-15, version 3.0* Heaps of fun, hard enough to make you think. Video clues are an excellent idea. ### 5/5 — Amazing as all ways *2026-07-26* Plz bring new games as soon as possible. ### 5/5 — Great for the mind! *2025-08-21, version 3.0* It relaxes, helps memory, exercises thinking, all without stress. Because although the puzzles are very reasonable it helps you along the way if you get stuck, with small hints, or videos if you don’t quite understand. And then there’s the reasonable price… need I say more? ### 5/5 — Blackthorn castle *2025-08-03, version 3.0* Just finished the game omg the graphics are amazing. What’s next?. ### 5/5 — Love the puzzles *2025-07-30, version 3.0* I haven’t played all of these games but i will so much fun. I would get the bundle as it is cheaper than purchasing each game. Worth the cost. Cheers ### 5/5 — Black horn *2025-07-08, version 3.0* The 2 best sentaxiti game (second to the first one) ### 5/5 — Delightful Wander Through Magical World *2025-05-02, version 3.0* Very relaxing to explore medieval world with soothing music, beautiful scenes, and many clues to find and puzzles to solve. I liked the first Blackthorn Castle as well. ### 5/5 — Best game ever *2025-04-30, version 3.0* I thought that the first Mystery of Blackthorn Castle part one was great. The puzzles were fantastic and making it easy to go from one place to another was awesome! But part two was, OMG fantastic! I so thoroughly enjoyed it. I love everything about it. ### 5/5 — If only it was longer….. *2025-02-14, version 3.0* She said! ### 5/5 — A lot of fun! *2024-12-22, version 3.0* Puzzles can be hard and knowing how to use the items sometimes is difficult. It’s a fun and relaxing game. Pick it up. Get stuck. Stop for a while then remember where you left off to find a new way to look at it. I enjoyed it. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
