I have paid for it and I have played many of your games from big fish and never had this problem before .. I’m very upset and I am mad that I paid for and it crashes. I’ve never had this problem with any of your games. Disappointed I would really appreciate a refund or fix the darn game. ### 4/5 — Haunted Hotel: Ancient Bane by LynxMinx *2023-10-12, version 1.0.2* This is not my final review. Blueflier, it occurred to me that we haven't heard from Snooper in a while either! Snooper, we just want to make sure you are doing OK! Blueflier, hope you are doing well too! The Dream Team needs to stick together. How do you think that unlocking issue was solved? I will get back to you after checking out this game. Anyway I played and I thought this was a good game, just not worthy of 5 stars. The graphics were very good, the cut-scenes were exciting, and they gave you a journal, a task button and a non-spoiler hint system. The storyline was a bit dull. The HO scenes were all the same; word lists only. After playing games with a lot of varied HOS, that was a bit boring. The puzzles were easy. The only collectibles were the canopic jars, which at least gave you a chance to learn some ancient history. Note to Opinion: Seriously? If you wanted direction for the puzzles, just tap the information button! Ridiculous! Another thing that I find annoying are reviewers who complain about going back and forth! My team better not do that! Why do you think they gave you a teleport map? Inventory was labeled, but you had to use a lot of items over and over, so you had a very full inventory. Loading was not quite instantaneous, especially to open the map, but it wasn't interminable either. The game had a bonus adventure, but it wasn't overly long. At least this was not a glitchy game and there were thankfully no RATS! After playing games from Mad Head and EIPIX, this game really had nothing that special but it was a decent game. We need games that are more unusual and exciting! I send good wishes and 💋❤️💋❤️ to the Dream Team! Once again Snooper, I hope you are alright! ### 3/5 — Haunted Hotel *2023-04-23, version 1.0.2* In my humble opinion, there was too much jumping back and forth and most of the time has to teleport. I needed to rely on hint too much and I don’t like that. ### 5/5 — Great game *2023-02-28, version 1.0.2* This is a great game. ### 5/5 — Enjoy! *2023-01-02, version 1.0.2* Really enjoyed this game,love to see more like this. ### 5/5 — Fantastic Game *2022-12-30, version 1.0.2* This is one of the most fantastic games I ever played! The story was great and the game seemed tailored to my gameplay. I just loved it! ### 4/5 — Entertaining *2022-05-29, version 1.0.2* I enjoyed it ### 3/5 — 日本語非対応になりました *2022-02-22, version 1.0.2* 最新OSでは日本語になりません ### 3/5 — Ancient Bane *2021-06-14, version 1.0.2* Game is interesting. In the hidden object section, some of the items are difficult to move. You have to tap the a half dozen times before the items would connect. Other than that, I’m enjoying the game. ## Frequently asked questions about Haunted Hotel ### What is this game about?
