J.F ### 1/5 — Won’t play beyond Chapter 4 *2022-01-02, version 1.1.4* Hello - I have been unable to activate the hidden object puzzle at the top of the ladder in Chapter 4, despite repeatedly tapping the area, etc. Once I was able to access and complete the candle puzzle and I got the animated stars indicating the hidden object puzzle, but then could not get any response when I tapped. I have deleted and re-loaded the game and re-played it, but end up stuck at the same spot. Help? Thank you, Deb ### 1/5 — Not a free game *2021-11-15, version 1.1.4* The game seemed fun to play but I personally don’t think it’s worth paying the 6.99 when there are tons of similar games you can play for free… ### 1/5 — Not free *2021-11-10, version 1.1.4* This is advertised as a free game. Only the very first part is free. You can’t finish the game unless you pay $6.99. Be truthful in your advertising. ### 1/5 — Second try *2021-10-09* Not sure what’s going on, but I can’t get this game to play! I was excited to read that the developer had fixed some bugs, but I’ve tried several times, and it just doesn’t work. And yes, I did delete it and start over. Very disappointing! **Developer response:** Hello! Thank you for your review. We are sorry that you encountered this issue while playing our item finder game.

Please write to our support team support@dominigames.com. Describe the problem in as much detail as possible and attach a screenshot of the problem, and our specialists will help you. We apologize for the inconvenience. ### 4/5 — Finally a happy story *2021-05-28* So glad to see a game thats not about monsters and demons. I don’t have a huge issue with those except that it’s the only thing they ever seem the show. 🙄So good to see a game about fairytales and Christmas and fun stuff and happy go lucky things. The downside of this game is that you can’t tell what the tools are. There’s no description of the tools except for when you first click on them but afterwords they’re so small you can’t tell what they are or where to use them. **Developer response:** Hello! Thank you for your feedback. We're glad that you like our game. With your support, we can make more breathtaking hidden object games in the future. ### 1/5 — Familienfreigabe funktioniert nicht *2021-01-01* Schönes Spiel, leider funktioniert die Familienfreigabe nicht. Obwohl es unterstützt werden sollte, wie hier angegeben. **Developer response:** Hello! Please write to our support team support@dominigames.com. Describe the problem in as much detail as possible and attach a screenshot of the problem, and our specialists will help you. We apologize for the inconvenience of the game. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Can’t finish game *2024-12-25* I’ve unlocked the reindeer gate but now can’t walk through. Hunt keeps saying there is nothing to do. App support is a broken link. Waste of $7 :( ### 1/5 — Don’t bother spending the money *2024-01-30* Thought a game being out for a while bugs would be fixed but nope. Stop at moving onto the lake like in many reviews so they obviously didn’t fix it and want to take your money and then you can’t continue to play. Will never by a game from this developer again. **Developer response:** Hello! We are sorry for the inconvenience. Please write to our support team at support@dominigames.com so they could help you resolve your issue with our hidden object puzzle game. Please describe the situation in as much detail as possible and attach screenshots, if you can.

It just goes straight back to the home screen ### 1/5 — No longer works *2022-11-21* Here we are again. We purchased these games with the belief that we could keep them and replay them whenever we wanted. But like pretty much ALL of these types of games, after a few updates, they no longer work. If you’re going to sell games with the promise of pay once play forever, UPDATE THEM SO THEY WORK. Otherwise what you’re doing is criminal. **Developer response:** Hello! We are sorry that you experienced this issue with our mystery adventure games. Please write to our support team at support.dominigames.com. Describe the situation step by step (what happens, where it happens, what buttons you click, etc.) and attach screenshots, if possible. Our specialists will be happy to help you. ### 1/5 — Update made this unplayable *2022-11-13, version 1.1.5* Agree the most recent update, this game will not even open. Fix or refund the price of the game to everyone who has purchased it. ### 1/5 — No go *2022-11-10* Fun game except after first chapter you have to pay!!!!!!!! ### 1/5 — The Christmas spirit Grimms Tales *2022-10-14* Love the game but after reloading the game 5 times as soon as I get to observatory to place the three candles it won’t allow me. I emailed on Sept O3/22 to see if it could be fixed so I could finish the game but have not received an answer ### 1/5 — Game is stuck *2022-01-06, version 1.1.4* You cannot get to the top of the ladder in chapter 5. I want my money back. This game has bugs and unable to complete. What a ripoff ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Christmas Spirit:Grimm Tales *2025-12-06* Love this game especially as the hints are few. ### 5/5 — Christmas with a trist *2024-11-23, version 1.1.8* Enjoying the story and gameplay! Very entertaining! ### 5/5 — Simply beautiful *2023-10-13, version 1.1.7* This is a great Christmas game. I’m playing it a few weeks before Christmas and it definitely puts me in the Christmas spirit. What I LOVE about this game is how the collectables icon sparkles. The game is beautiful with the graphics, music and story. I’m definitely a big fan. ### 5/5 — The Christmas spirit *2022-12-23* Can’t even start the game. When I tap the icon the screen dims for a moment and goes back to the Home Screen **Developer response:** Hello! Thank you for the review. Here's an instruction that could help in this situation: 1. Try turning off special effects in settings; 2. Try restarting your device and re-entering the game. 3. Make sure your device's OS is updated to the latest version. 4. Make sure that your game is updated to the latest version. 5. Try clearing cache. 6. Check if you have enough storage space on your device ### 5/5 — Can’t even open the game *2022-12-09* Shuts down immediately **Developer response:** Hello! We’re here to let you know that we fixed the issue you’ve encountered! We’ve released a new patch and now after you update the game everything should be normal! ### 5/5 — 👍👍👍 *2022-09-16* 😀👍 ### 5/5 — Gran *2022-02-22* Really liked this game. My only problem was there were two object games that maybe need a skip, like the one where the two screens had to fit over each other .it took a very long time to get through this game, and the one where you need to place the three candles at top of ladder it took over an hour of trying but it would not accept my tap. ### 5/5 — Merry Christmas *2021-11-28* This game was fabulous. I was not really in the mood for Christmas but this does put you in the mood. Thank you Oleg and Lynx , Catalina too. We would not be enjoying these beautiful games without you. Too lynx I know it like to lose your mother suddenly as I did to a couple years ago as well as my father 2 weeks later. My heart goes out to you and your family. Best of wishes to you and everyone this coming year. Happy gaming. Update November 28, 2021 I went to play again this year and the game does not work. It keeps asking you if you need help and cannot put crystals in the mirror because the mirror doesn’t move. Please fix. **Developer response:** Hi, dval4200! Thank you for your feedback! We’re so glad you had a good experience with our game. ### 5/5 — Christmas Spirit *2021-07-19, version 1.1.3* It is great! ### 5/5 — Can’t play at all *2020-12-20* So much for bug fixes, I can’t through the unlocked gate to the swan lake all it does flash blue and chime when I tap to move forward. I tried emailing but that did me no good. It seems you only respond to good reviews so this probably won’t do any good either. **Developer response:** Hello!
