### 4/5 — Games Games Games

*2019-11-08, version 1.0.0*

Good game but the Mimi games are too hard and I don’t like hitting the skip button. Hitting skip irritates me and makes me feel stupid.  I liked the HO games and the fact that you can play match three.  I really like Blue Tea games - the graphics are great - but the Mimi games are getting to hard.  I like playing the games after work but I don’t want to have a engineering degree to play them.

### 4/5 — Good game

*2019-07-09, version 1.0.0*

Mini puzzles are really challenging

### 4/5 — Great game..

*2019-05-15, version 1.0.0*

Great game..
Good Story..
The mini games are too hard to solve. 
Agreed, don’t make the mini games soooo hard!!

### 4/5 — Dance

*2017-03-05, version 1.0.0*

Sehr schönes Spiel. Leider erhalte ich zurückgeholte Spiele nur noch auf englisch. Werde keine mehr kaufen

### 4/5 — Good game

*2016-10-16, version 1.0.0*

Logically laid out, good mini games.
No problems

### 5/5 — Letters

*2016-10-16, version 1.0.0*

I really like this game so far.  Very lifelike characters and the puzzles are a step up from what is usually offered on Hidden games.

### 4/5 — Love it!

*2016-10-10, version 1.0.0*

Much more my scene this one. Good story,different types of puzzles,not too many hos. After the space game which I didn't like I'm glad I bought this one,played the trial first and had no hesitation forking out the £3.99. Will update when I finish it but so far I'm enjoying it a lot!

### 4/5 — Little different

*2016-10-10, version 1.0.0*

I really like this one so far. A couple of the puzzles so far have been pretty dumb though. Otherwise there are a few different ways to use found things than usual.Not a lot of running back and forth ,progression is smooth.The map is good, shows where you still have something to do and will take you there. On sale so am buying full version ,dont buy very many.

### 5/5 — `Good Family Game'

*2016-10-09, version 1.0.0*

Good fun, really test your memory. Great puzzles.

### 4/5 — In the middle of the pack

*2016-10-09, version 1.0.0*

Lethal Letters, another game from EIPIX in the Danse Macabre series, has much to commend it but also suffers from some glitches and outdated controls.

There are three levels of difficulty; however, the "casual" option is the only one that indicates places with active tasks on the map and includes helpful comments. I tried the game on the moderate and challenging levels and there were far too many occasions where it was impossible to figure out the next step without a clue. I think this is the only game I've ever played using the casual option.

The map enables teleportation, but can be hard to navigate because none of the scenes are labeled or named. You have only a rough layout of the environment. There is no journal, although you can track overall objectives through the casual option. I missed the journal particularly because there were many written clues and plot notes provided during the game. Often I inadvertently clicked too fast and never had the chance to read them.

I did enjoy the somewhat novel storyline, and gameplay lasted several hours. There is a bonus chapter that adds about 45 minutes. The graphics were fine but not extraordinary. Most of the HOPs are word lists, but some involve silhouettes or riddles. The minigames are easy to moderate in complexity.

There are collectible handbells, most of which I found hard to spot. A nice touch, though, is that the game extras let you find the handbells you missed by telling you the scenes in which they appear. There are also souvenirs (one per scene) that you can collect after the bonus chapter is completed.

Finally, the game would've benefited from some more QA testing. For example, in the first scenes, a character that you rescue is simultaneously shown as safe and in peril on the screen, and you are still directed to save him. On a few occasions, the map failed to indicate any active tasks or directed me to a scene where I could not get through anything.

My rating is closer to 3 1/2 stars, but because I overall found this entertaining and purchased this on sale, I rounded up to four.

### 1/5 — Problem

*2019-11-07, version 1.0.0*

I downloaded this game after clicking on the sale- $2.99.  I went to unlock it and you wanted to charge me $6.99. So I stopped and deleted the app. I went back in and tried agin but it doesn’t work. This is the second time this has happened. The first time I didn’t catch it until I had already paid. This isn’t right.

### 1/5 — Eigentlich tolles Spiel

*2019-10-14, version 1.0.0*

habe es auch schon durchgespielt und dann gelöscht. ... seit dem kann - wie bei einigen anderen Spielen - angeblich kein Kauf mehr festgestellt werden. Und nochmal zahle ich es nicht!

### 1/5 — 新作かと思ったら

*2016-10-09, version 1.0.0*

別のアプリのポップアップで案内され新作かと思いDLし、割引期間だと言うのでそのまま購入。
ところがどっこい、前月に買い切り版でリリースされたものが、お試し付き版で出たものでした。
購入前に確認や試しプレイをしなかった私がまず悪いですが、お試し付き版を後からリリースするのやめてほしいな、と。

### 1/5 — Patrick

*2016-10-08, version 1.0.0*

You say it is on sale. 25%off. But when you go to purchase it's $6.99.  Not fair.

### 3/5 — Dance Macbre : Lethal Letters

*2023-10-26, version 1.0.0*

The game was okay. To be honest 6.99 for this to much and not lengthy like other ones I played.

### 3/5 — So far so good

*2019-11-13, version 1.0.0*

I have played this game several times and I do like it as all the games in this format, but I miss that you have chosen not to make anymore like this. Thanks for letting me share

### 3/5 — Lethal letters

*2018-02-27, version 1.0.0*

Enjoyed the game. One complaint though is the mini games. They put way to much thought into them. Making them long, confusing and boring. Shortly after playing a few I just waited for the “Skip” button to fill so I could skip them. The ho’s were good except for how dark they were making it very hard to find items. Overall it was a pretty good game though.

### 4/5 — Four stars bc it’s 3 years old

*2019-11-19, version 1.0.0*

I think the App Store has mixed up reviews for this game with another. This is an Eipix game, and the mini games are easy to medium easy in difficulty. The recent other reviews for this game have said the mini games are too hard and mentioned Blue Tea as the developer. I bought this game because I like challenging mini games, but these were not at all.

### 4/5 — 👍 🎭

*2019-11-15, version 1.0.0*

Good enough game, decent length of main game and bonus, HOs slightly different with the option of 3 in a row, recommended only if you get it on sale as I did, not worth any more than £2.99....🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

### 4/5 — Good at reduced price

*2019-11-11, version 1.0.0*

Enjoyable game but would not pay £6.90 for it

### 5/5 — Still as much sophisticated play as before.

*2025-04-29, version 1.0.0*

Still love it.

### 5/5 — Playing in 2022!

*2022-01-15, version 1.0.0*

Pleeeeaaaase BIG FISH we need more of these games to be available on iPad!

### 5/5 — F

*2020-07-10, version 1.0.0*

This is the best game for a trial it’s a long game!!

### 5/5 — Gréât Job

*2020-01-04, version 1.0.0*

This game had all the necessary ingredients.  Good Graphics, ease of use, diverse puzzles and HOSs, and the ability to play my own music with it. To top it off the storyline kept me intrigued.

### 5/5 — Sehr gutes Spiel

*2019-11-11, version 1.0.0*

Einfach genial wie die gesamte Serie. Von Sammelobjekten bis zur Wahl zwischen WBS und 3-.Gewinnt alles vorhanden. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

### 5/5 — Brilliant!

*2019-07-10, version 1.0.0*

So many different types of puzzles and for £2.99 to unlock the full game it's great value too

### 5/5 — EIPIX Games are the best!

*2019-05-13, version 1.0.0*

I love this game.  Nice story, pretty graphics, not a lot of dark gory depressing scenes and the puzzles throughout are entertaining and not too hard.

### 5/5 — Sehr schönes Spiel!

*2019-03-23, version 1.0.0*

Interessantes, abwechslungsreiches Spiel in annehmbarer Länge. Gute Grafik, Sammelobjekte vorhanden. WBS kann man auch hier wieder als 3-gewinnt spielen, was mein absoluter Fav ist. Mingames sind nicht immer leicht. Schneller Tipp macht ein flüssiges Spiel. Und ganz toll: Nach Abschluss des BK kann man nochmal 3-gewinnt auf versch. Levels spielen. Das macht richtig gute Laune!

### 5/5 — ビッグフィッシュの特徴

*2018-02-25, version 1.0.0*

ミニゲームが全て異なっていてそれが面白いです

### 5/5 — Good Game - BUT NOW £6.99, NOT WORTH MONEY

*2017-01-24, version 1.0.0*

This is a good game to play again now I own it, but today prices shot up to £6.99, I WILL NOT BUY ANYMORE BIGFISH at this price.
Have bought games since 2012 but NO MORE at £6.99 just not worth price.
