### 4/5 — Dead 2

*2019-01-13*

Would like more hidden object scenes

### 4/5 — Fun

*2017-12-25, version 1.0.1*

Game was fun, good storyline. Worth buying. However just a bit buggy. Some of the puzzles kept solving themselves when I was halfway through doing them, which was disappointing.

### 4/5 — Challenging

*2016-11-10*

It makes you use your brain, but unlike other games, if you follow clues and think about the situations, you can progress.  Gives you a sense of accomplishment when you finish playing.  Don't know how many games I've downloaded, get into them and they are not developed right, not checked before released and you can't progress.

### 4/5 — Loved it!

*2016-06-08*

I love hidden object adventures and I love murder mysteries, so this was basically made for me. The art is lovely, the HOP scenes varied. The "evidence" book was maybe a little unnecessary, since the game isn't asking you to actually figure out the murderer; it ended up being just something I had to keep clicking to make it stop flashing. I didn't experience any bugs at all playing in an iPad Air. Overall I enjoyed it immensely, and it was a good amount of game for the money.

### 4/5 — Good Game

*2016-03-07, version 1.0.1*

Kept me interested.

### 4/5 — Good time

*2016-03-04*

Very different types of HOS & puzzles.  Good length of game play. Very good story line. Had to use help button frequently just to figure out next step in mystery. Very enjoyable

### 4/5 — Fun puzzles!

*2016-03-02*

Finding clues after puzzles or tasks is fun.

### 3/5 — Not impressed

*2016-03-02*

I wasn't super impressed with the trial of this game ands opted not to purchase it. The game play is awkward, you have to open the menu to get the map, and the trial was WAY too short. I didn't have enough game play to get into the story and to see if I got used to the game play.

### 4/5 — Good game

*2016-03-02*

Enjoyable, good graphics with variety of puzzles and hidden object scenes.

### 1/5 — Con scam

*2018-11-13, version 1.0.1*

Another con and scam by BF you buy a game and then can no longer play it unless you buy again and BF won’t respond to mails about it.

### 1/5 — Twenty minutes trial

*2018-04-17, version 1.0.1*

Thus far the game looks old & rather boring.

### 1/5 — Dead Reckoning

*2017-05-01*

Purchased this ga me I'm playing now and want to unlock and they said no purchased was found. I'm pist I bought it .

### 1/5 — Yet another big fish con!!!!!

*2016-12-08, version 1.0.1*

Every time I unlock a big fish game I can no longer play it but they take my money!!
The game goes blank and when you try to go back into it by tapping the app you just get a black screen.??
I thought that maybe having left it about a year to try and pay for a new game they would have sorted any past problems out. Sadly and to my own expense AGIAN £4.99 has been taken and I have nothing to play!!!!!!
Please give me my money back ASAP!!!!😤

### 1/5 — Sursur stormfront

*2016-05-15, version 1.0.1*

Yup bought this game before...won't let me replay says no purchase found!!

### 1/5 — Another bug in another BF game...why do I buy these?!?

*2016-03-04*

The review in the other Brassfield game (which came out in January) says there is a glitch in the game, the HO game of the box near the front entrance, where you finish but do not get any item and it requires you to play again, but because you've played it, it just throws you back to the entrance screen! Unable to move forward because the HINT says you must play the shimmering HO game!! A real bug.....
I'm not buying any more, there's just far too many bugs. I'm playing on an iPad Air, 128gb, updated iOS.

### 1/5 — Rip off

*2016-03-02, version 1.0.1*

I bought this game at a buy it now price, when I downloaded again (not realising it was the game I had already purchased) I saw that I had already played the game so pressed already purchased to restore the game, there was no record of purchase, I also noted that the date of release has been updated. This is a total con to get people to buy the same game twice. Disgusting marketing.

### 2/5 — Buggy

*2016-03-08*

Body on the floor. I click hint and it says there's nothing to do here now. I back up and it says I'm not through with the body. 
Not engaging. Poor graphics and like what someone else said, it feels old. Like they are reissuing a 10 year old game.

### 2/5 — Dead recon ninth brass field manor

*2016-03-06*

Terrible mini games and HO puzzles!  They don't make much sense.

### 2/5 — Updated yesterday?

*2016-03-03*

Really? It seems old.  The trial game was over very quickly.  The help screen was okay and needed for some poorly designed games such as the totem necklace.  The top and bottom pieces don't match the pieces of the puzzle that supposedly attach to them!  The other puzzle were just odd or boring. The hidden objects were either easy or impossible, and the little riddle was beyond stupid, making no sense.  The detective kit was odd with unidentifiable items in it.  If this game was updated today, it must have been REALLY bad before.  Don't waste your money on this one. And, developers, back to work.  This game needs LOTS of work.

### 5/5 — Too Good!

*2017-03-29*

The pictures are beautiful, the music is exceptional, the puzzles require thought, the story line helps move the game.  All round, very good for the brain!

### 5/5 — Best game

*2016-11-30*

This is my first review, I always read reviews prior to playing and/or buying so I know the reviews are helpful. All I can say is I have been playing these games for many years and this game is by far the best game I have ever played. I especially like the magnifying glass that allows you to spot action items. The puzzles were great and the story line was written well. So 5 stars for this game. Enjoy, well worth the money.

### 5/5 — Holds your attention

*2016-03-11*

This game has a little bit of everything. HOPS,
Mini Puzzles, a good storyline and lots of help available (if you need it). I always did love a good mystery.

### 5/5 — Brass field

*2016-03-06*

I love Brass Field, five stars.  One awesome game with the story, graphics and the puzzles!! Thank you once again for a great game Big Fish!!!!!!!!

### 5/5 — Thnx

*2016-03-06*

### 5/5 — 👌

*2016-03-05*

Начало очень понравилось, решила купить... Посмотрю, что будет дальше, пока не разочарована... Классика жанра!

### 5/5 — Nice Story Line!!!!

*2016-03-03*

I truly like mystery games like this when solving murders and all, the graphics are awesome and it is such a good game to play when you want to "kill" time on your hands😉.

### 5/5 — Just right

*2016-03-03*

So far I'm enjoying the game. Has a good story line. The graphics are great. Not done yet, hope it's worth the five dollars I paid for it.

### 4/5 — Dead Reckoning

*2020-09-27*

Good game, good graphics, good storyline.  The only problem I had was with the touch in hidden objects where it didn’t always work.  I’m glad it was with real people and not monsters or medieval eras which are so childish.  Murder mysteries and crime solving games are too few and far between.

### 4/5 — Fantastic concept

*2019-09-15, version 1.0.1*

Great game with an interesting storyline
