I liked the puzzles and the storyline. In my game however my map kept telling me there was a active task in areas there was none. It kept me jumping around to different locations where I didn’t need to go and it took longer for me to complete the game because of this ### 4/5 — Ghosts of the Past … *2022-05-28, version 1.0.0* First game like this that 1) I couldn’t sign in with my name . 2) not all mini games worked . But the most frustrating thing was different voices of in game actors didn’t work half the time. You would see lips move but no audio . It makes for a boring time . I did stay with it but there are other times when I’d give up and delete the game waving bye bye to my $9:99 plus tax . Do. You people sleep good at night knowing you ripped off another customer? SHAME ON YOU ALL, Apple included since they don’t make sure that these products work before these games are offered to the player’s. ### 4/5 — ghosts *2022-03-29, version 1.0.0* very entertaining ### 4/5 — Great game *2021-08-07, version 1.0.0* Fun to play with some interesting puzzles ### 4/5 — Good game *2019-07-06, version 1.0.0* Bonus chapter was awesome ### 4/5 — Unique *2017-10-21, version 1.0.0* Unique in HOP's - varied & different. The storyline is good, but weird. You have ghosts haunting a town, killing ppl, but you're looking for ancient Viking runes as collectibles. Turns out ghosts are tied in with ancient Vikings - well, some. I found some games too difficult &/or frustrating to do even with the Strategy Guide. I also thought the HOP's were pretty difficult & some of them as well as games made little sense to me. Overall, I'm enjoying it ok. Not 5 stars, but typical BF fare these days. ### 4/5 — 🔱 Charming scenes, enjoyable play... *2017-01-10, version 1.0.0* One of the better efforts by the Canadian company, ERS. The MAP feature indicates active scenes and allows for rapid travel. Rune Collectibles unravels fortunes in EXTRAS along with HOP and mini-game replay opportunities. The 18 HOPs provide much variety, such as: pairs, reverse, spot difference, sequential, silhouette and classic...with a mini-game alternative. ### 4/5 — Bones of Meadows Town *2016-04-13, version 1.0.0* Fantastic game! Love the story line, extras and especially the bonus chapter puzzles: challenging but doable! ### 3/5 — Not bad *2015-11-26, version 1.0.0* Long enough. No glitches. Entertaining. ### 4/5 — An interesting game *2015-11-03, version 1.0.0* You have at times to think out of the box, nothing is a sit seems. Can get difficult and you're not sure what to do or go next. But once you've paid it does mean you get yourmoniesworth. ### 5/5 — Игра классная *2015-09-19, version 1.0.0* Графика, история- все на уровне. Порадовало наличие выбора игры в спп. Спастбо👍👍 ### 4/5 — Ghost of The Past *2015-09-13, version 1.0.0* I have just started the game,I like the different type of hidden scence,has a good story to the game,please big fish stop asking for review before players have chance to play the game. ### 4/5 — Ghost of the past *2015-08-28, version 1.0.0* The constant pop up for ratings is very irritating. Why not ask at the end. You need to play to know if you like it. Thank goodness for the teleporting map. Liked the graphics, the story was okay, the bonus story not so good. I would try another game ### 3/5 — Good game *2015-08-23, version 1.0.0* Good mix of HO games but too much storyline too read ### 3/5 — Ok *2015-08-17, version 1.0.0* Enjoyed it but found it quite hard tbh. I like a game to flow but some of the clues on this i would have to be a mind reader. Had to use the hint all the time. Maybe I'm a bit thick lol. Defo not the worst but I've enjoyed other games more. The last few scenes were tedious and hard going IMO. ### 5/5 — Great *2015-08-15, version 1.0.0* Love the game great graphics and story line ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Ghosts of the past *2021-05-15, version 1.0.0* How can I rate when I did not even start the damn game. I think that was father foolish. 👀👀👀 ### 1/5 — GHOSTS fO THE PAST *2019-06-18, version 1.0.0* Game Don't Want To Rest 👎 ### 1/5 — 短い *2015-08-12, version 1.0.0* ゲームを楽しむまえに、短いすぎて 内容が分からない ### 1/5 — Demo too short *2015-08-03, version 1.0.0* X ### 1/5 — Stopped working *2015-08-01, version 1.0.0* It was a good game until it failed to load shortly after the purchase. I maybe had 5 or so successful launches after purchase then no more. Just got the initial screen with two abandoned cars and then it would churn away with the "be patient i'm working" little spinning wheel, then it would dump back out to the home ipad screen. Closing other open apps and rebooting didn't help. The problem with these games is that they're fairly cheap for the hours of entertainment you get, but if they go kaflooey there's no support. I could probably delete and re-download but then I would start at the beginning. I did that with one game and it was more like work than entertainment, so I'm just going to blow this off. ### 2/5 — Not for me! *2021-07-06, version 1.0.0* Not as good as some of the other games. Disappointed! ### 2/5 — Very short demo *2016-12-01, version 1.0.0* I downloaded the trial game and was very disappointed. It was over in the blink of an eye. And there wasn't even one HO game! You had the usual situation of finding items to use. LOTS of back and forth for no reason, really. Luckily there IS a map with a legend telling you where there is something to do, and a teleport to the scene. The intro game has you getting out of the car, going to the Sheriff's office and putting out a fire on the street. That's about it, other than finding and using the items in these locations. The puzzles are pretty lame, like match the finger prints. Overall, very disappointing! Definitely NOT worth $6.99. ### 2/5 — Good game with embarrassing bugs *2015-08-07, version 1.0.0* It's really sad that this was released with such egregious (yet simple) bugs. For example: every time you open the map it flashes a "purchase this game" screen. I paid for the game. This is a silly graphic bug that just takes away from the experience and is just embarrassing and amateur. Also the hint system is awful and the "look for the spirit ball" HOGS are really done poorly. They crawl, forcing you to just swipe the lens on all quadrants of the screen with no rhyme or reason. ### 2/5 — Не понравилась *2015-07-31, version 1.0.0* Некрасивая и не очень интересная тогда , такое впечатление, что создавали не заморачиваясь! Таким играм цена- 50 р, не больше ### 2/5 — Short demo… Didn't matter *2015-07-30, version 1.0.0* The buttons are tiny and difficult to reach, at least for me? I'm over 50 AND disabled, but have played many many enjoyable games without the frustration I now feel. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Big fish *2022-09-13, version 1.0.0* I love it ### 5/5 — Ghost of the past. *2021-07-11, version 1.0.0* An enjoyable game, good puzzles, keeps you on your toes, excellent graphics artistic designs, hope there’s more to come. ### 5/5 — Oldie but goodie *2021-07-06, version 1.0.0* This is a few years old, but that’s not a bad thing. Really unique mini games, some I’d never seen before. If you’re a hos fan, you might be disappointed; not as many as most hopa, which personally I’m good with. The graphics are typical of the time period, a bit flat. But not bad at all. This game was made before all the big fish pressuring, which churned out quick formulaic games with little soul. This game was a delight to play, despite the old school graphics. ### 5/5 — The sheriff of meadows town *2019-07-18, version 1.0.0* I enjoyed the game I Holes it was a lot of fun.Got stuck a couple times but then I figured it out. My kind of game ### 5/5 — Ghosts of the past *2019-07-08, version 1.0.0* Bought this game in a BF sale Loved it so much I was sorry when I’d finished it. I had no problems with it and found the game easy to follow. No problem giving it 5 stars. ### 5/5 — Well designed game *2018-11-28, version 1.0.0* Minigames mostly on the easy side. HOPs interesting and varied. Game layout was very good. Maps were excellent and readily supported back and forth required. Context clues were helpful in driving you towards the appropriate actions. Clue board was an interesting addition. Only minuses were, voice acting a bit weak, but it wasn’t terrible enough to distract from story. Viking premise was good as a unifying theme, but far-fetched, even with the whole “magic exists” premise. It also had the scan the circle over the screen until something appears technique, which I loathe as uninteresting.These were minor flaws in an otherwise solid game. ### 5/5 — Ghosts of the past *2018-09-24, version 1.0.0* Haven’t finished yet, but love it, just finished it again, one of my favourite games ever ### 5/5 — Superb *2018-01-22, version 1.0.0* Gameplay was steady and interesting. Great graphics and a mixture of HOS styles. The puzzles were perfect, not to simple but not impossible to complete either. The Viking theme was also fun. I love games that fuse ancient artifacts with modern technology. Five stars! ### 5/5 — Wow! *2017-10-21, version 1.0.0* Freaking impressed! First game in a while that I couldn't put down ;). Just loved it! ### 5/5 — A Good Little Teaser *2015-10-30, version 1.0.0* Slightly different from some of the other types of games which makes a change. Enjoyable puzzles though easier than most. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
