The storyline was odd and fractured. I often had no idea what my tasks were, and just happened upon objects without knowing how they connected. I needed to use a lot of hints, and I’m not a novice at these kinds of games. Also, there were too many hidden objects sequences, which were in obscure places. ### 3/5 — its alright *2026-03-28, version 1.12.0* A little slow and not quite what I was looking for but its alright. ### 3/5 — Dommage… *2026-02-28, version 1.12.0* Joli jeu mais 2 bugs: impossible de trouver l'indice pour ouvrir les tiroirs du bureau pour l'indice suivant et flechette anecthésiante avec le pistolet inutile puisque le Rhino déjà endormi… ### 4/5 — It was fun!! *2025-10-11, version 1.11.12* I really liked this game and the visuals were good!! ### 2/5 — Things don’t work! *2025-05-19* A lot of the mini games simply don’t work. ### 5/5 — Weiter so! *2025-05-13, version 1.11.7* Super gemacht, bitte so weiter machen! ### 5/5 — Great Game *2025-05-09, version 1.11.7* Typically free games are typically "they are what you pay for" situations. But this game reminds me of playing Nancy Drew in my child hood so far and is great! I love mystery games and would love for them to make more free mystery games! ### 5/5 — Challenging *2025-05-03, version 1.11.7* The mini-puzzles are challenging. Also, I enjoy the details in the scenes. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2025-04-24, version 1.11.7* Love this game ### 5/5 — Great story and animation *2025-04-03, version 1.11.7* Thank you! ### 5/5 — favorite mystery game *2025-03-18, version 1.11.7* fun and challage love that game ### 4/5 — Brightstone Mysteries: Others *2025-02-12, version 1.11.6* A clever story line, great graphics, great help options. ### 4/5 — i guess? *2025-01-09, version 1.11.6* ive only played for 5 mins? hard to tell. ### 5/5 — brightstone mysteries *2024-12-30, version 1.11.6* fun to play ### 3/5 — Good idea, but not great fun! *2024-12-25* The idea is good and the graphics are wonderful, but the map is not interactive! I have to press the hint button to see where there are things to do. I can’t just pull up the map. This is very frustrating and time wasted. The movements to the different locations are not intuitive, so the map would be of great help. Also, all of the hidden object games are essentially the same! Very boring after awhile. I did like the “blue” selections, which you had to switch and look for something else, but, again, too repetitive. I hope you continue to continue this series, but hope that you continue to improve play. Thanks! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Game *2026-02-06, version 1.12.0* Have to buy the story deeper in the game ### 1/5 — Just not for me *2025-12-01, version 1.11.13* ☝️ ### 1/5 — Misleading game *2025-06-25* Why is it advertised as free? **Developer response:** Dear Player, it's not advertised as free. It's clearly stated in the description that the full game has to be unlocked after a while. ### 1/5 — BOF *2025-03-13, version 1.11.6* Ne pas enthousiasmé, cher pour ce que c’est ! ### 1/5 — not good keeps freexing *2024-12-16, version 1.11.6* not great ### 1/5 — Rip Off *2024-09-15, version 1.11.6* You have to pay to get the full game. ### 1/5 — zu wenig für das Geld *2024-08-31, version 1.11.6* viel zu teuer, da das Spiel schnell durchgespielt ist. entäuschend ### 1/5 — Unable to insert coin *2024-06-23* The claw machine will not let me insert a coin. Seems I am unable to go further. Please fix or refund. Thank you **Developer response:** Dear Player, the solution is to just zoom in with 2 fingers on the coin slot, then you should be able to put the coins in. And don't hesitate to contact us at support@cateia.com for any problems we regularly update our games with fixes. ### 1/5 — Delusa *2024-05-27, version 1.11.4* Nemmeno 5 minuti di gioco e poi devi pagare per continuare ### 1/5 — Can’t put in a coin *2024-05-05* I was really enjoying the game and the mystery until I got to the claw game in the carnival. It wouldn’t let me put in a coin despite several tries. I went back later in the game thinking I had to maybe do another task first, and even when hint told me to do the claw game, the coin wouldn’t go in, this was AFTER. I purchased the game and it’s kind of an expensive game for that kind of game-ending flaw. Please fix or refund. **Developer response:** Dear player, please contact us at our provided support email and we will do our best to assist you with this issue. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fun game *2026-06-02, version 1.12.2* This game is short but it has some pretty tough HO games.
