### 4/5 — Problem in Chapter 3

*2020-04-29*

I liked the game until Chapter 3 the future. I can't get the matches to work. At the point where I just might delete the game

### 2/5 — Werbung

*2018-08-04, version 1.0.0*

Trotz Kauf der App werde ich pro Start mit mindestens zwei nervigen Werbebannern konfrontiert. Hätte ich das vorher gewusst, hätte ich nie dafür gezahlt.

### 3/5 — 今更ですが

*2018-05-25, version 1.0.0*

買いだめし過ぎて塩漬けになっていました。笑
相変わらずスキンヘッドが良い味出してます。難易度は低いので物足りなく感じます。ミニゲームは古臭い。

### 2/5 — Was good until I bought it

*2018-02-13*

After I bought it it just got lame and it ended very shortly afterwards...not worth $12.00...

### 5/5 — Great game , storyline is good

*2017-10-31, version 1.0.0*

Think this game is in the top ones I have played. I love the Elephant games, they are well thought out with great storyline and good mix of puzzles and HOP plus the HOP’s are all different for a good variety of games. Would recommend it to anyone.

### 3/5 — ミニゲームが多い。

*2017-10-31, version 1.0.0*

ストーリーも絵も好みなのに、ミニゲームが多すぎて興醒め。一体何のゲームをやっているのか分からなくなってくる。しかも難易度を高めて二重三重にロックをかけられると、やる気が失せるのは年のせいか。でもそれ以外楽しかったんで星3つ。

### 5/5 — Wow! Not your usual hidden object type game

*2017-10-19*

I really enjoyed some of the challenging puzzles! Most games are way too easy in these style apps, but this one had a few curve ball mini games I loved! Some monotonous hidden objects but they did a good job trying to change things up by making things morph and not overdoing it.  Really long game! Not 100% sure I followed the story line but I was impressed with all of the linked puzzles and the many layers. Not what I was expecting.  It was a hidden objects game mixed with a point and click adventure without the options of dialogue.

### 2/5 — Charged twice

*2017-09-22, version 1.0.0*

I have been charged twice for this game after having to delete a constantly crashing version of it. It would be good to get a refund. This is very disappointing.

### 2/5 — Okay but unable to finish due to black screen

*2017-04-07*

The game was just okay. Some of the puzzles were quite difficult which took the enjoyment away. Not really thrilled with this particular storyline. The worst part is that I was 3/4 of the way through the game, and when I tried to resume it, all I got was a black screen. The game wouldn't load. I finally just deleted it. I won't be reloading it because it's not worth starting over again. Very disappointing!!

### 3/5 — Code on screen

*2017-01-29, version 1.0.0*

Am enjoying this game, but, I don't expect to have a code come up on the screen. I had played to Billy's future and the mini puzzle, then when returning back the info and reset button were still showing, also the hint hadn't returned it was still as skip. I clicked on the skip to see if it would change back and a code came up on the screen. It had corridor in it and still showed the info/reset/skip buttons. Came out of the game completely and then went back in. The game was back to normal, think there is a glitch in the game that perhaps only some iPads may pick up.

### 5/5 — Very good

*2016-11-19, version 1.0.0*

Enjoying the game. Lots to keep it interesting and a good mix of puzzles.

### 2/5 — Bleh!

*2016-10-28, version 1.0.0*

Boring busywork, glad it's over.  Quality of games, especially popular series sequels stinks.

### 3/5 — Black screen

*2016-10-16*

It was good up until I got a black screen and it won't go away. I really don't want to start over and possibly have the same thing happen again.

### 1/5 — 1* for the chapter "25 years later"

*2023-05-12, version 1.0.0*

its impossible to play this chapter. every click opens the puzzle, you probably were completely out of ideas.

### 1/5 — Prix débité 2 fois

*2019-09-14, version 1.0.0*

Je suis généralement satisfaite de mes achats de jeux chez big fish... combien même si certains jeux ne durent pas longtemps, mais payer le même jeux 2 fois... j’ai du mal. Ce n’est pas normal. D’où 1 étoile

### 1/5 — The heir

*2019-04-13, version 1.0.0*

Loaded full version for three times crashed purchased to have nothing.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work on my iPad

*2019-03-30, version 1.0.0*

Don’t buy this for use on iPad. Mine froze during second chapter. I had many discussions with Big Fish and tried all their fixes. Eventually they agreed the game doesn’t work well on iPads. They couldn’t refund my money because I got it through App Store.

### 1/5 — Stuck

*2019-01-13*

I really thought I would like this game and did in the beginning. But now I’m stuck on a scene and it won’t move me forward. I used the Hint button and it tells me to use the matches to light the flame, but then the game tells me to use something else.  I’ve tried rebooting, redoing and nothing works.  I paid for this game...no more!

### 1/5 — Frustrated

*2017-12-03, version 1.0.0*

Started playing this game after purchasing but only managed a few scenes before it only showed a black screen when I tried to play next day! Deleted the game and reloaded but only got a few scenes further before the same thing happened again! About to delete and re download for the last time. Playing on an up to date iPad Air 😤🙏

### 1/5 — Runterladen???

*2016-10-13, version 1.0.0*

Ich würde dieses Spiel gerne spielen aber es lädt nicht mal.
Ich habe ein iPhone6. Alle anderen Spiele lassen sich runterladen aber nur dieses nicht.
Bitte beheben, oder Geld zurück.

### 1/5 — Bitte schnellstens beheben!!!

*2016-09-30, version 1.0.0*

Das Spiel läuft nicht an bei iOS 10.0.2. Ich habe es gekauft, also bitte beheben!

### 1/5 — Black screen

*2016-09-15, version 1.0.0*

Played the game for a few days. This morning, I get a black screen. Closed all apps. Restarted iPad. Downloaded IOS 10. Still a black screen. Very frustrating to have to delete an app and re-install. Then it's boring to play the game again, to get you to where the app failed.

### 1/5 — Nicht mein Fall

*2016-08-28, version 1.0.0*

Zog sich wie ein Kaugummi.
Langweilige Story, viel zu viele Minigames.
Das Bonuskapitel habe ich mir erspart.

### 5/5 — Challenging

*2024-10-03, version 1.0.0*

loved this game

### 5/5 — Good game

*2023-07-17, version 1.0.0*

Having received my £6.99 back from Apple for the faulty version of this game; that is the one where you pay for it part way through although it has a fault, I decided to buy the other version where you pay upfront. I had thought that the game looked good and it certainly is. It has no faults and the content and storyline are excellent.

### 5/5 — One of the Old But Best Games

*2020-03-05, version 1.0.0*

Bought this several years ago for £1.99 and really liked the game. Thought I would play it again and still like it. Good graphics and spooky theme. Enjoyable mini games. 10/10

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2019-09-15, version 1.0.0*

Brilliant game completely absorbing and very clever look forward to another.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2019-09-15, version 1.0.0*

You get your money’s worth , excellent

### 5/5 — L héritier

*2019-09-06, version 1.0.0*

Super jeu pas de bug

### 5/5 — Great Addition To The Series!!!

*2019-09-05*

I really enjoyed this one...good storyline, lots of extra items to search for throughout the game including morphing objects, a nice variety of HOP and the mini games were challenging.  The graphics were crisp and the main game and bonus chapter were a decent length along with a secret room after the bonus chapter to look for additional items.  Overall great game!

### 5/5 — One surprise and puzzle after the next. Great Job!

*2019-08-11, version 1.0.0*

This game was a lot of fun. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Tricky puzzles

*2019-07-01*

I have played dozens of these games and this one is very good in comparison. I like the puzzle piece collectibles and the morphing objects, they are tricky at times in this game. As are the mini games but I like a challenge. Don’t get me wrong, I only do casual mode but I still like the thought that goes into making the game tricky. You have to go back to scenes many times to use different objects to open things so that gets a little repetitive but so far so good.

### 5/5 — Excellent!

*2017-11-07*

One of the best games Big Fish has to offer.  Longest game of any I've played in a long time.  Definitely worth the $2.99 I paid.  Most games aren't half as long and they want $6.99.  Good story line and I have to agree with the other reviews...most of the mini games are too easy, I normally refuse To give up on a game until I figure it out.  Have to admit this is the 1st game I had to skip 2 mini games.  Very enjoyable...highly recommend this one!
