I like the shooting gallery. One thing I don't like is that the bandits show too quickly to be able to shooting them. I like the graphics, hunting lost objects, and figuring out the bad guys. ### 4/5 — Fun in the Wild West *2018-04-17, version 1.5.1* It's a fun game with lots of things to find and won't take you broke to play!! I loved it Kayseven ### 4/5 — Love it! *2017-10-20, version 1.5.1* Has a few little glitches, bandits flash on too quick to shoot them,(4 stars) but this is a fun game. Like the shooting gallery, like the hidden objects. I think this one is slightly harder to find things than Golden Trails 2. But, I shot enough bandits to get hints when I was ready to give up looking. This was well worth the price! Keep making these games! The shooting gallery is better with a few "citizens" sprinkled in as in HT2. I hate for this to end! For the first time, I may play these twice. I am 69, still like to play. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Golden Trails *2017-06-14, version 1.5.1* Great game. Different but fun to play. ### 4/5 — Klavda *2017-05-13, version 1.5.0* Best hidden game but sometimes to find! Fun, fun! ### 5/5 — Good game *2017-02-27, version 1.5.0* Just my kind of game. A lot of hidden objects without a lot of puzzles or games. ### 5/5 — Best I used yet ! *2017-02-15, version 1.5.0* Tried 8 others but this is the best one yet. Others were dark, hard to see, not this one. Great to play and very good story line.... A Plus !! ### 5/5 — The West *2016-11-20, version 1.5.0* So far so good! Mini games are fun too. I like how some objects are hidden so it's not so easy to find. Like how the bad guys appear and you have to shoot them and get an extra hint. Always like Big Fish Hidden Object Games! ### 5/5 — Great fun *2016-07-26, version 1.5.0* Love it give it a go ### 4/5 — Fun but short *2016-06-22, version 1.5.0* Very fun to play but after purchasing was disappointed it was so short. Needs some more content and extras. ### 5/5 — Great game *2016-03-30, version 1.5.0* Great finding game...enjoyable ### 5/5 — Rate *2016-03-23, version 1.5.0* Love this game ### 3/5 — Brock Johnson *2016-01-27, version 1.5.0* A pretty good game but deleted it when I got to the end of the free trial since I'm not even allowed to buy upgrades within games. It was fun for the most part whilst it lasted. ### 5/5 — Golden Trails 1 & 2 *2015-12-01, version 1.5.0* These are really fun games that are straightforward and don't make you backtrack around. The mini games are fun as are shooting the bad guys when they pop up. Very different (yay) than the avg ho game ### 5/5 — Western *2015-10-03, version 1.5.0* Great game ### 5/5 — Awesome game! *2015-07-25, version 1.5.0* I'm really enjoying the Awen games. Well done! The hidden objects are that...WELL HIDDEN! Finally somewhat of a challenge! ### 4/5 — I LOVE THIS GAME!! HOWEVER... *2015-07-24, version 1.5.0* ...I bought the full version and solved it I one day. I really expected it to last longer. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Koz 38 *2015-03-14, version 1.5.0* Great game.... ### 1/5 — Feel cheated *2015-01-05, version 1.5.0* I paid £2.99 for a game that has lasted no longer than 4 hours . What a swindle . Once you've completed the few levels and found the objects you get congratulated and thrown back out into the welcome screen . There you find a bonus level that took me now more than 30 mins to complete ! Then it asks if you would like to play the same game again ? What's the point in that I ask ? The object of a game is progress and discover , not re-hack through the same story line , same scenes , same wording but different objects .. I thoroughly enjoyed the first level that's why I decided to buy it . Bitterly disappointed .. ### 1/5 — Won't load *2013-07-29, version 1.4.1* I have tried several times and this will not lad. ### 1/5 — Mrs Peters *2013-07-22, version 1.3* Back ground is very dark, having difficulty in seeing outlaws. ### 1/5 — Only one round allowed *2012-12-30, version 1.3* This is NOT a free game. You can only play one round and then it asks you to buy the full version. This needs to be stated in the description and needs to be added to "In app purchases". ### 2/5 — Golden Trails: Mystery Object *2017-09-22, version 1.5.1* The game doesn't have enough levels and is irritating with the interruptions from the two cowboys saying "what makes you think you can get to next level with all that clicking." Not impressed - and then you have to buy the full version which only has another level. ### 2/5 — Trails *2013-12-04, version 1.4.1* Can only go so far and this is frustrating, then you have to buy. ### 2/5 — Great fun but... *2013-10-18, version 1.4.1* What did I buy for $4.99? Game completed in a few hours. Dissapointingly short. ### 2/5 — Frustrating *2011-10-05* Problems: The items are too small to see, even after using the hint and they were highlighted. Items are given in small increments. You see pictures of the items a few at a time with one being added as one is found. Spending time searching for an item, only to be told later, that it it hidden, or even placed so you have to get an item from another location to get it, is very annoying. Many items are virtually hidden under other things. Example: The only way I could identify a hat was by its green ribbon which was hanging under something else. No pinch screen. COULD be good, but isn't! All I got from this game was a headache! If these things annoy you, too, save your money. There are much better games. ### 3/5 — No Zoom *2022-02-20, version 1.5.1* Too expensive without zoom ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 5 STAR RATING !!! *2026-04-16, version 1.5.1* This is a Great Game , 5 Star Rating !!! Look Under Your Pillow …. What’s Under My Pillow: Five Tar Rating 🙂😊🙂 ### 5/5 — 5 STAR RATING !!! *2026-03-13, version 1.5.1* This is a Great Game , 5 Star Rating !!! Look Under Your Pillow …. ### 5/5 — 5 STAR RATING !!! *2026-02-22* This is a Great Game , 5 Star Rating !!! ### 5/5 — Big *2018-12-23, version 1.5.1* Love it! ### 5/5 — Golden trails *2018-11-15, version 1.5.1* Another outstanding game. Hope you design more. ### 5/5 — Golden trails *2018-09-16, version 1.5.1* Hours of fun, developers should awake other games like golden trails. ### 5/5 — Golden trails *2018-08-04, version 1.5.1* Love it just keep playing it over and over please make more ### 5/5 — Great app *2018-01-11, version 1.5.1* Have played this so many times, great value for money well done. ### 5/5 — J *2017-10-15, version 1.5.1* Brilliant, clever , a must for hidden object fans ### 5/5 — Golden trails *2017-10-09, version 1.5.1* Awesome game. I like looking for the badges and shooting the bad guys. Still love it. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
