### 5/5 — Really Good

*2025-03-23, version 1.0.0*

One of the best HOPs that I’ve played in a long time.

### 1/5 — Same old crash

*2024-12-06, version 1.0.0*

As with so many Big Fish titles this crashes at the unlock/purchase point. 😡

### 4/5 — Good game but hard to play on phone

*2024-08-08, version 1.0.0*

Good game but hard to play on phone and some object are too small to click on

### 1/5 — This game has a fault

*2023-07-15*

I played this game up to the point of paying to continue. I paid the £6.99 but the game would not continue despite Apple having taken the money from my iTunes account. I would like either Apple or the Developer, Big Fish, to refund my £6.99.

### 1/5 — Mouais  !

*2023-02-09*

Au début c’est bien j’ai adoré mais un moment il faut payer donc ce qui sont entrain de lire et qui n’on pas encore installé le jeu je vous conseille de ne pas l’installer.

### 5/5 — The Heir

*2022-12-05*

I have found great enjoyment and escapism during recovery from covid from trying to play this game.  Playing with a fudge covid brain makes it more challengeable then usual.  I love the graphics and I have found it to be of good value.

### 2/5 — Game won’t load

*2022-11-24*

I played the trial game and enjoyed it so much that I purchased the game. I was able to play it for one day and now it will no longer load. The screen stays black. Is this common? If I can’t play it, it would be nice to get my $2.99 back.

### 5/5 — Alle Wimmelbildspiele

*2022-08-19*

Ich bin schon seit Jahren ein Freund von Big Fish Games. Ich liebe ganz besonders Wimmelbildspiele.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2022-03-28, version 1.0.0*

I liked the thoroughness and length of the game. A standard for other game designers. Artwork was great. Thanks to everyone involved.

### 5/5 — Good game

*2021-10-06*

I’ve been looking for a good fun hidden object game to play and this game fits the bill. I love this fun game and it really has a good storyline. Thank you for another great game.
