I found I was constantly exiting a room because it was too easy to accidentally tap the hot spot, but then at times when I wanted to exit a room I would have to tap several times, or I ended up picking up an inventory item instead. I ended up skipping the pipe game because when I tried to drag one piece out of the way in order to tap another one, the first piece would not release and end up right back where it started. I also didn’t like that you have to tap on the menu button to find the map. Most games like this have a map button. ### 3/5 — Bugs *2020-12-24, version 1.0.0* I’ve been trying to put the number dial on the snow globe for a while now. It’s so frustrating. EDIT: I closed the app for a while and opened it back up and was able to put said number dial on the snow globe. There’s still issues of clicking on something but it not counting just because you didn’t click on it “correctly”. ### 3/5 — Ummm *2019-02-14, version 1.0.0* Too soon to say. So far so good hey...............?. Lol ### 4/5 — Good game *2017-11-17, version 1.0.0* Altho' trying to find the scales on IPad was no good, just too dark. Plus had lots of problems just trying to put my name in the profile. ### 4/5 — Great, but short *2016-08-11, version 1.0.0* This is a great game. Watch for the scales hidden about....I didn't catch them all. But it's too short for $4.99. And the bonus game is really short. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Played the free sample *2021-07-29, version 1.0.0* Then paid for the full and it just keeps throwing me out … tried deleting obviously losing all that I had already done … still won’t load ### 1/5 — WHAT IS GOING ON? *2017-11-12, version 1.0.0* Every game I purchased now says I DID NOT.... I wrote to the BBB... BF is AWFUL! ### 1/5 — Could not enter a profile name. *2017-11-12, version 1.0.0* Always got "please enter profile name to continue", no matter what I entered. Done. HUGE FAIL! ### 1/5 — It won’t let me get in *2017-11-12, version 1.0.0* I’m sorry but some thing wrong with it.i can’t pass from my name. Didn’t like that at all. ### 1/5 — Got stuck at the strongman *2016-08-13, version 1.0.0* Be careful if you play this game on your phone it's pretty sensitive about where you place things and you may get stuck as I did on the strongman as I couldn't find the spot to put the newspaper clippings to talk to him and progress.😕😢😤☹️☹️☹️ ### 1/5 — 5 min trial & fiddly controls *2016-08-11, version 1.0.0* Doesn't appear to be Eipix quality. Navigation seems slow and it's difficult to accurately hit the exact spot to move around. ### 2/5 — The unlock button doesn’t work *2025-06-29, version 1.0.0* i’m absolutely gutted about this, these games were such a big part of my childhood and i spent years to find them as i just couldn’t remember their name. anyways, to the point; i completed the free part, but when i continue to go to unlock the rest of the game the whole game crashes and stops working. it will not ever work. i’ve tried over and over and over again everything to get it to work but nothing at all does. it would be such a good game had that would work ### 2/5 — Dead Reckoning: The crescent moon *2023-12-01, version 1.0.0* I like this game. I am very frustrating because I played and purchased this game before! I went to play it again and then it said unlock! I pressed already purchased and it said no record found this is b.s Shame on you big fish developer's this been happening a lot with your games! I use to enjoy big fish games no so much anymore. Big fish is greedy takes our money and charges us again. Hello customers whom purchased games from big fish once and then play again are you having the same problem? Because I remember a couple of customers having the same problems. I want my refund or fix this problem enough is enough!!😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡 ### 2/5 — Seemed too difficult *2019-05-23, version 1.0.0* Nothing was intuitive at all. I lasted fifteen minutes. Seemed clunky. Not the usual smooth flow for these types of games. ### 2/5 — What a MESS! *2016-08-12, version 1.0.0* Ok, I will give them an "A" for graphics and for trying to create an interesting game. However, this fell way short. I felt like I was being tossed around from scene to scene ... It just had absolutely NO flow. The text disappeared so fast, I was barely able to read it. Objects were sometimes impossible to place. I knew they belonged where they were going, but I couldn't get them in. At one point it took me 5 minutes to get the object where I wanted. I found a lot of the puzzles "glitchy" and irritating. I paid for the game, so I forced myself to finish. But I have to say, I found myself wanting this game to end not even a quarter of the way through. Recently any game I have purchased from EIPIX has been a huge disappointment for me. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Big fish *2022-04-18, version 1.0.0* I love it ### 5/5 — Loved this game *2021-07-12, version 1.0.0* Found this on sale, I do keep looking because the full price of games, especially at this difficult time, is too much for me. I couldn’t fault this game at all, it is annoying having to access the map from the main button though. There weren’t too many hos and the variety of puzzles was really good, some were really difficult and took a while, a good length and although it was tricky finding the hidden scales, you were able to get them at the end. Please let us have some more games at a reduced price. ### 5/5 — Fantastic graphics- enjoyable game *2019-07-08, version 1.0.0* Had a good storyline. Highly recommend ### 5/5 — Good *2019-06-02, version 1.0.0* Enjoyed this game lots of variety in the puzzles good story line ### 5/5 — Superb *2017-11-12, version 1.0.0* This game is one of the best I have played. I love the different types of puzzles, lovely graphics and good storyline. ### 5/5 — Loved it! *2016-09-06, version 1.0.0* Although it was a lil short. I'm glad I bought it, even with the bad reviews! I always read reviews before downloading them, but I had zero glitches and had no problems! Give it a try! ### 5/5 — Very Good Game *2016-08-29, version 1.0.0* I really enjoyed the story in this one. The puzzles make you think. This is not a game to simply play, but to pay attention to the story and enjoy both. I also enjoy the little extras showing cute skits performed by the game designers. ### 5/5 — Really like it *2016-08-14, version 1.0.0* Enjoyable - really good puzzles. ### 5/5 — Great game! *2016-08-12, version 1.0.0* Challenging, variety of puzzle and hidden object scenes. ### 4/5 — Too Small *2019-09-07, version 1.0.0* I really enjoyed this game “but” all the writing was SO small that playing on an iPhone made it very difficult. Not only the writing but the Hidden Object games was hard to see as the items blurred together. If they would have done that better it would have been a Great game --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
