Big fish games do not work on an iPhone
Despite paying for the game, it refuses to recognise my payment and has no help for IOS system. Never again!
I can’t play it
I can not give a good review because it won’t let me put my name in. Where it says “Player” and you need to type your name in, there is a keyboard but nothing happens. It won’t let you type anything in. So I deleted it.

I’m keeping my eye on you
This episode of the Anna Gray (Grim Tales) series is lots of fun!
I have come to the Grim Tales series only this year, and I’m really enjoying every episode, even though I’m having to play them out of chronological order. I love hidden object games that feature strong female leads, and this series is one of those. The story arc of the Gray Family is compelling, and the quality of the voice acting enhances the narrative (this can and does very often detract/ruin the imaginative journey of many such games). The graphics, level of complexity and accessibility are all really well-designed. I’m not a fan of the horror genre per se, so the way the game designers have clearly given thought to the interests of other genre fans and given us a range of ways to enjoy this series regardless (eg fantasy, crime and speculative/scifi) impresses in every game in this series I’ve played. The whodunnit of this game is mind-bending yet again!

I love it
Can’t get past the enter name part
The keys are not registering my touch and so I can’t even type in a name or click on “ok” to get to the game
I can’t play 😩
Iv been trying to playing this a while but when u first start says to enter ur name and it won’t let me I’m gutted tried everything as-well
Disappointed
This is the third game from Big Fish that I have installed on my new phone that won’t play. I have installed other games from other developers with no problem. It’s sad because I have been playing this developer’s games for years. Not anymore.
Payed to crash
So I recently bought the full game however once my payment was completed the audio crackles and the app crashes
You can then never open the app again as it crashes in 2 seconds within opening the game
I’ve tried re-downlading it but same thing happens when you choose already paid. No I have to wait for an update to play this game.
UPDATE- I updated the game in 2020 and it still crashes - you get two seconds in on the opening cutscene upon booting the game up and the it crashes and sends you back to the home screen in this case my I pad - now I don’t see the developers actually fixing this issue as they would’ve done it by now ... it’s probably been 3+years since this game came out anyways I hope this is useful to anyone - most importantly. DON’T BUY THE GAME or in this case download it as it’s free but will require you to buy the rest of the game like all of their games do - I’m a long time player of these games.

(Also) Stuck on “Name” Screen
When the game begins, there is a short cutscene with a “Skip” option that doesn’t work. The game then goes to a screen that allows the player to enter their name. I am unable to enter a name or even accept the generic user name. The game is frozen and won’t allow any action or input by the user. Since I see App Store comments & reviews a year old from people who have had the same problem, it seems as though you may want to choose another game.
While troubleshooting, I ran across an article on the Big Fish website that said Apple would no longer support 32-bit games with iOS 11; as of the writing of this review, that article had been updated 2 days prior. Since going back to look at the dates and iOS versions caused me to lose the first draft of this review, I can’t verify this might be the issue. As I purchased this game over 6 years ago, I think this is probably a reasonable assumption. If this IS the issue, then neither Big Fish nor Apple should allow this game to be offered on the Apple App Store. If the game is no longer supported, I’m somewhat annoyed the Apple & Big Fish still have it on the Apple App Store.

Still Broken?
Can’t get past the title screen.
Won’t let me even put my name in!!!
There was another review exactly like this and it also happened to me today. I have an iPhone XR and it won’t let me put my name in, I can’t skip that part, I can’t do anything!! Ridiculous of Big Fish to do this!! This needs to be fixed now, you’ve known about it for quite a while and no update to fix the problem. Why 🤷🏼♀️

Second Big Fish Game today that won’t work!
Unresponsive game. Second one today i’ve downloaded. First one cost me $10!!
Great!
Puzzles were innovative, but wish they were harder. Elephant goes out of their way to add little flourishes here and there. The HOs were varied; list, silhouette, FROG, match the pairs, and combinatory. The story is long, then after you finish there’s a secret room where you play a few puzzles and HOs again for an achievement. You collect morphing objects in every scene, and 16 stained glass pieces that comprise 4 mosaics, and once you complete a mosaic, you can play a HO. So, lots to do. I usually don’t use the teleporting map, because I like to feel like I’m really there. But in the medieval section it was absolutely necessary, because you kept going back and forth between two rooms a lot. Real rating of 4.5 bumped up to 5.

Doesn’t work
This game says it’s compatible with an iPhone but doesn’t even work, I’ve tried playing this numerous times, it’s stuck on the “name” screen. I can’t skip, or put my name in. It’d be nice if this was updated so people could play it, especially since it’s on sale right now. You would think this would be updated since Big Fish is still selling it.

J’adore
Jamais déçu avec cette série Grim Tales,merci pour la promotion à 3.99🇨🇦 👍
Suspect
Ok, bit dark trying to find objects, not worth £6.99 though
Doesn't work
Doesn't load - customer support less than useless and won't refund
Disappointing
Game keeps seizing up and I have to delete and reinstall. And lose all my game play. I'll never make it through the bonus game at this rate.
Okay, but...
...not very challenging. Decent graphics and story but not much else. A lot of back and forth; HO scenes were scant and so were the mostly easy puzzles. There was only one puzzle that was remotely challenging but it was like a poor man's MCF puzzle
Played most of the way through the trial but not interesting/challenging enough to finish or purchase.
