I would have liked a little more direction with the map and objectives needed. Also it needs to have a reset button for puzzles, so you are able to complete then with out skipping. Otherwise a very good game over all. ### 3/5 — Unpredictable *2022-01-11, version 1.0.0* This a good game but there are two problems that I want to point out. First, I always have to “repurchase “ the game every time I want to replay it. Second, besides having to “purchase” every time, I have to reload the game because I don’t always have the bonus game which I enjoy a lot. Please fix these issues because it’s highly annoying. Thank you ### 3/5 — Lazy days *2021-02-27, version 1.0.0* Fun but game kept freezing and some games didn’t work. ### 2/5 — Forgotten Books *2020-12-09, version 1.0.0* I persevered with the game but the hint button was slow to recharge, didn’t work right & kept moving me backwards in the game. Constant correcting made the game very trying. The story had merit & was the only reason I persisted. ### 3/5 — Forgotten Books *2020-12-04, version 1.0.0* Yes...the trial game is lovely. However I’m not paying 9.99 for a game that I can slip through like butter... From the graphics I have seen, this game is too short for that high price! I used to play BigFish games on my PC a few years back... I remember that we had a monthly discount for subscribing... Why don’t we get this same privilege for playing on our mobile devices??? I’ll buy this game when it comes down to 6.99 ### 2/5 — Forgotten books *2020-12-02, version 1.0.0* The darn hint button is NOT working! Please fix it ### 5/5 — Great game *2020-01-07, version 1.0.0* I love this kind of game - fun story and cute/ugly characters. Good HOP scenes, and some imaginative games. Great art and nice sound effects. The extra game play was really excellent. Hope there are more in this series. ### 5/5 — Noch mehr davon *2020-01-04, version 1.0.0* Das Spiel ist spitze, ich liebe Märchen und märchenhafte Storys.... schöne Rätsel, ich hoffe ich finde noch mehr ähnliche Spiele ### 5/5 — Fun *2019-12-12, version 1.0.0* This isn’t as smooth as some other games I played but it was a lot of fun. It felt almost like a real quest, which I enjoyed. I should mention I have studied fairy tales and quest stories so was very happy to follow along and ignite some if clunky aspects. ### 2/5 — Gave me a headache *2019-12-09, version 1.0.0* Thank god for the teleport map, hint and skip features. Totally confused throughout this game so not enjoyable more frustrating and irritating. Too much of everything graphics overload ugh confusing story. Don’t pay full price wait until it’s on sale again 👅👎🏽🤒🥴🤯😈 ### 5/5 — Très sympa *2019-12-08, version 1.0.0* Bonne durée de vie divertissant agréable je recommande ### 5/5 — Refreshing *2019-12-01, version 1.0.0* Super fun. Graphics are beautiful and the characters are great. Lots of talking animals and so many different areas to explore. It’s nice to not have all the haunted hotels and demons around every corner. It’s a light hearted whimsical land. HO and puzzling are just right. You can tell a lot of thought went into designing this game. There’s so many fun details to look at. I highly recommend this game. ### 5/5 — Einfach gut *2019-11-30, version 1.0.0* Jeden Stern wert. Das Spiel macht einfach Spaß. ### 5/5 — Snoopy *2019-11-28, version 1.0.0* it’s a great game ### 5/5 — Très sympa *2019-10-26, version 1.0.0* Jeu agréable. Belle histoire et pas compliquée. Un pur moment de plaisir. Le lapin est mignon et nous rappelle un certain conte. Vivement d’autres jeux aussi bien. ### 5/5 — I’d give 6 stars if I could *2019-10-09, version 1.0.0* What a fantastic game. Totally enjoyed it. Liev the cute rabbit was endearing. Fantastic storyline and graphics are out of this world. All the cute talking creatures. One of my absolute favourites. Long gameplay and bonus was fantastic. Thanks Big Fish, more like this please 😁 ### 5/5 — Beautiful game. *2019-08-22, version 1.0.0* This is a beautifully crafted game, the graphics are a delight and the gameplay is well thought out. I really enjoyed playing this game, keep up the good work. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Voleurs *2023-12-28, version 1.0.0* Ayant acheté et PAYÉ ce jeu, je n’y ai plus accès alors que j’y avait joué. Vous êtes des voleurs en disant que l’on peut y jouer autant que l’on veut après l’avoir acheté. ATTENTION CECI EST UNE ARNAQUE ### 1/5 — Purchased this game and now it’s locked *2019-12-28, version 1.0.0* I purchased this game when it first came out.....the collectors edition. Now when I try to open it , it says no purchase for this account. I’m locked out and can’t contact them. Don’t waste your money like I did. Should be ashamed For ripping people off, Big Fish!!! ### 1/5 — Игра глючит. *2018-12-20, version 1.0.0* В мини-игре при поиске мелков, последнего мелка нет. Невозможно дальше играть. ### 1/5 — Audio not working on iPad 2018 *2018-11-01, version 1.0.0* Come on guys! ### 1/5 — Can’t play out of sequence *2018-09-02, version 1.0.0* Right away, in firstForest chapter, I cannot combine the bone and rag to make an unlit torch. This is a design flaw and a waste of money. I have deleted and downloaded this game twice now but no go. Developers need to build in better safeguards!!! ### 1/5 — Juvenile and illogical *2018-08-15, version 1.0.0* I really wanted to like this game. Right away, the sound completely cut out for several scenes. It finally came back on, but then I realized that the story is very juvenile, and even though I have played many similar games, I had to use the hint button or the strategy guide way too often, as it was very illogical. I quit playing even before the demo ended as I just didn’t care. ### 1/5 — Forgotten books *2018-05-24, version 1.0.0* Was a great game until it started crashing. First with now sound then total crash. Can you fix it so I can finish the game? ### 1/5 — Echt doof *2017-07-29, version 1.0.0* Spiel gekauft, mittendrin aufgehört zu spielen. Nun kann ich nicht weiterspielen und weder einen neuen Spieler anmelden, um neu beginnen zu können, noch lässt sich feststellen, welche Spieler bereits angelegt sind. Auch lassen sich einmal angegebene Spielernamen nicht löschen oder wieder aufrufen. Echt ärgerlich!!!! ### 1/5 — The Palace bugs *2016-05-17, version 1.0.0* I have many of BF games and quite enjoy them. This is the first one that has a bug that won't let me move on. The drawers in the Palace hog won't allow me to skip or find the items I need. The strategy guide shows that the completion of the hog game gives chalk, but there's no way I can get the chalk because I've collected all the items shown in the strategy guide, but can't the numerals. If I can't collect the items and can't skip the hog, i guess I can't move on. I'll think twice before getting another BF game. Frustrating, though pretty graphics. ### 1/5 — Forgotten Books: The Enchanted Crown *2016-05-13, version 1.0.0* The game crashes when I try to access the strategy guide, so I'm stuck. The last two games that I've purchased have given me trouble and I'm tired of reloading the games, shutting down the IPad, replaying under a different player name, etc. How do I get my money back? So aggravated with Big Fish! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I paid for this game and now… *2025-05-02, version 1.0.0* It won’t unlock itself. I got this game back in 2021. Played it and enjoyed it. I recently tried to play it and it won’t unlock, even though the game recognizes I purchase the game when I click on the unlock the game, it then tells me purchase failed ?? What ???!!!! I need someone, the developer, Apple Store, who ever can help me with this issue. Never had this happen with any of my other games. I’ve contacted Apple, only got an automated response. Wasn’t any help. I need my game unlocked. Does anyone have any solutions to this problem and have anyone experienced this before with any of their games and what did you do to fix it. Help me please and thank you. I like this game, that’s why it got 5 stars from me, but very disappointed that it locked up on me, how that happen I don’t know ? I would like to play my game again. ### 5/5 — Purchase Failed on new iPad *2025-04-13, version 1.0.0* Installed this owned game and tried to unlock. After confirming prior purchase and agreeing to install again for free, install completes and a message appears, Purchase Failed. Support nonexistent on BF or Apple. I own a dead game. ### 5/5 — Wie im Märchen *2022-07-15, version 1.0.0* Ein wunderschönes „Märchenspiel“ mit vielen - zum Teil - ungewöhnlichen WBS. Sehr kreativ, mit vielen Überraschungen ### 5/5 — Loved it *2021-05-23, version 1.0.0* Fantastic game, Loved that it wasn’t as dark as most hidden object adventures, light hearted and fun. Great graphics and the games were interesting. ### 5/5 — Big fish *2021-04-08, version 1.0.0* I love it ### 5/5 — Forgotten Books *2020-12-24, version 1.0.0* I love this game. It is just difficult enough to keep me coming back. Good game. ### 5/5 — Definitely worth it *2020-12-15, version 1.0.0* This game is for people who want to breeze through and not have brain teasers to the point of insanity... very relaxing and yet rewarding. I play these interactive games all the time and this is one I will play again... ### 5/5 — Игра *2020-09-23, version 1.0.0* Игра очень приятная по сюжету, по красочности. Не очень сложная, не напрягает, не нервирует, играешь и получаешь истинное удовольствие. Мне очень понравилась. Разработчики молодцы!!!! И кстати, ни одного глюка, ни одного вылета , никаких страшилок . Кто любит такие Игры очень советую загрузить, думаю деткам будет интересно!!!!! ### 5/5 — Another good game *2020-08-31, version 1.0.0* Yet another enjoyable game. Has good supporting music and sound effects. Excellent graphics, with a storyline in a similar style to other Big Fish games. Well worth the money. ### 5/5 — Great game *2020-07-06, version 1.0.0* The puzzles were too easy, but good anyway. Sometimes it took a while to figure out the objective. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
