### 3/5 — Definitely not one of my favourites of the series

*2019-08-17, version 1.0.2*

Quite average and in my opinion it barely makes 3 stars. Puzzles were boring. Storyline was meh. Graphics weren’t as good as some others. It felt like an “old” game.

### 4/5 — Good game

*2019-01-09, version 1.0.2*

Engaging, very challenging puzzles. Playing on my iPad and have had no problems with loading or crashing. Worth the sale price. Also who would know that acid be so necessary in life 😊

### 4/5 — Intéressant

*2018-07-24, version 1.0.2*

Très bon jeu mais beaucoup trop de scènes d’objets cachés

### 4/5 — Insgesamt ein gutes Spiel

*2018-06-25, version 1.0.2*

Ein spannendes Spiel mit guten Ideen und kein bisschen langatmig. Schneller Tipp, guter Schauplatzwechsel, sehr gute Spiellänge. Gute Minis. Sehr viele WBS, insgesamt aber sehr ähnlich und dadurch eintönig. Dafür Punktabzug. Man konnte aber zum Puzzle wechseln. Chamäleon-und eine Menge anderer Sammelobjekte. Für meinen Geschmack zu viele.

### 3/5 — Elefun has been better

*2017-11-12, version 1.0.2*

I have always loved Elefun’s HOG but I am very disappointed in their new format. Graphics are not nearly as good. They changed their map and have eliminated the Star that indicates that we have found all collectibles and morphing objects. I loved this feature. I would have given a five star but I am disappointed. Please return your signature graphics and map.

### 4/5 — 問題なし

*2016-09-07, version 1.0.2*

最後まで問題なくプレイできました。
ボーナス章はロードが長いです。
ミニゲームは簡単、アイテム探しのタップはシビアでした。

### 4/5 — Challenging!

*2016-05-22, version 1.0.2*

Contains enough puzzles to keep you occupied for awhile...😜

### 4/5 — Enjoyed it

*2016-05-21, version 1.0.2*

Great graphics, good HOS, good storyline however only in the bonus chapter was it painfully slow to load screens 15secs plus.

### 4/5 — Great game but

*2016-04-04, version 1.0.2*

Enjoyed the different HOS and mini games.  Was disappointed that I could not play the mini games and HOS after the bonus game.  A real jip for the price paid.

### 2/5 — Good game but needs refining

*2016-02-28, version 1.0.2*

The most annoying thing about this game which spoils the gaming experience is the loading time between scenes which gets progressively worse the more you get into the game. 
Strange storyline. Starts off in a haunted hotel spoof and then the sets change into a fantasy. I'm out on this one and only continuing to play it because I've paid in full.

### 2/5 — Second game that has crashed

*2016-02-26, version 1.0.2*

This game is lots of fun to play however I was unable to finish it. Once again, the game has crashed/froze right after I collected all the keys and opened the office (final chapter) and am unable to complete the game. This is the second big fish game that has does this on to of the first Echoes of the Past game I purchased that didn't even get me past the first seen. BIG FISH, your games are highly entertaining but why all the problems? I  Please fix this as I would like to play the rest of the series.

### 2/5 — Frustrating

*2016-02-25, version 1.0.2*

The game keeps freezing. I tried the fixes but the only thing I can do is delete it and reinstall but then have to start over again.

### 2/5 — Froze late in the game

*2016-02-25, version 1.0.2*

I agree with Moochie's review. Game was pretty good until it froze about 3/4 of the way in. Don't really feel like replaying the whole thing again.

### 3/5 — Hölzern

*2016-02-24, version 1.0.2*

Das Spiel schleppt sich mit endlos langen Ladezeiten dahin. Nach ungefähr der Hälfte des Spiels fand ich es einfach zu langweilig und wollte schon aufgeben. Aber schließlich habe ich es ja gekauft, da will ich es auch spielen. Ein langweiliges Spiel: heb auf Inventargegenstand, wende an, such den nächsten. Keine Höhepunkte. Allerdings mit gut funktionierender Karte und vielen sammelobjekten. Story etwas hölzern und auch nicht unbedingt was Neues. Gibt bessere Spiele.

### 4/5 — Worth the sale price

*2016-02-23, version 1.0.2*

For me the game was worth the sale price.  I had some trouble with the puzzles. Didn't always understand the directions. When I got flustered I just hit skip. Still enjoyed playing. Will bring it out of the cloud after a few months.

### 1/5 — Don’t buy - Froze half way through

*2021-11-15, version 1.0.2*

Was fun to play until a little over half way through it would not take any input from touching screen.  Waste of money.

### 1/5 — Oh dear....

*2020-01-25, version 1.0.2*

I’m afraid this bored me silly; Same old same old and some of the games were very buggy. Unfortunately I paid for it, wish I hadn’t. 
I’m sure some younger folk might enjoy it without the bugs

### 1/5 — Freezing

*2019-10-07, version 1.0.2*

It froze. This is getting to be ridiculous with these games. They get their money and the games freeze. I want my money back. Rip offs

### 1/5 — Game Locked Up

*2016-03-05, version 1.0.2*

So I had collected all the keys and I'm working through the next chapter and it's completely frozen at chapter 8. I can open the game and it loads but then nothing works. The only thing I haven't tried is uninstalling and reinstalling. But I hate to lose all my progress. Need a fix for this. Not impressed.

### 1/5 — Game has bugs

*2016-02-25, version 1.0.2*

The game got stuck and I can't move forward. Also, there's no preview version of the game to see if you like it. I found it too simple and almost childish, making me wonder what age group it's for.

### 1/5 — Freezes

*2016-02-23, version 1.0.2*

Game is frozen on one screen. Followed support suggestions and nothing works. Have to start all over and was 90% through the game. Big disappointment.

### 1/5 — Hicksj1167

*2016-02-23, version 1.0.2*

Completed the main game, started on the bonus game. Quit and when I came back it says I have to complete the main game before I can play bonus. Don't want to play it again. Can't get to the bonus game. Not good.

### 1/5 — Update needed!

*2016-02-22, version 1.0.2*

Game freezes about two thirds in. Tried restarting, nothing works. Update desperately needed!

### 2/5 — Crashing at end ...disappointing

*2020-04-26, version 1.0.2*

Really enjoyed this game, story line and graphics. Totally worth it.....until. The very end. I made it all the way to chapter 8 to have it completely freeze, no way around it. Uninstalled and reinstalled, erasing everything and starting over. Very unhappy......got to chapter 8. Froze up again. I know this is an older game, but this is just sad.

### 2/5 — Great game but couldn't finish

*2016-03-05, version 1.0.2*

Enjoyed playing this game right up to the point where it crashed and wouldn't let me finish the last scenes. Restarted the game we'll see how it goes....sheesh!

### 5/5 — 画面3階で全くうごかないため、ちぎえすすめません

*2026-01-09, version 1.0.2*

2度購入しても同じ所で、、残念です。改善して下さい。

### 5/5 — Fear for sale 13 keys

*2023-09-24, version 1.0.2*

I really like this game.  Graphic everything. It is a lengthy game. Map works great . 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

### 5/5 — EleFun games

*2020-09-12, version 1.0.2*

are the best of the genre IMHO. The only thing I would change are the mini games. The types of games are repetitive and tedious. But that’s just me. I’ve only been playing the iPad games and look forward to playing some on my computer. These games are keeping me sane during the lockdown which I hope will be over by the time you read this.

### 5/5 — Fear for sale- 13 keys

### 5/5 — Good game

*2016-02-24, version 1.0.2*

This has been one of my favorites.  Good hints and support and a fun set of puzzles.  I did not have a problem with loading times.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2016-02-21, version 1.0.2*
