### 4/5 — Fun

*2025-03-18, version 1.0.0*

Great game. Thanks.

### 4/5 — Bit creepy

*2023-10-20, version 1.0.0*

Wouldn’t let a younger kid play it but it’s a pretty good game.

### 2/5 — Touch is wonky

*2023-05-14, version 1.0.0*

Doesnt have accurate touch locations for objects

### 4/5 — Great Game!

*2023-04-15, version 1.0.0*

I really enjoyed the storyline and the puzzles. My only complaint would be that it was a little too short.

### 2/5 — Ok

*2022-10-07, version 1.0.0*

Quite often when you touch the item you want it does not work even though it’s correct.

### 3/5 — $$$

*2022-03-11, version 1.0.0*

I paid once….won’t pay again.

### 3/5 — Interface Issues

*2022-02-18, version 1.0.0*

Good game, but VERY frustrating to touch an object but the game didn’t register it.  Had to touch exact right spot to get credit for it.

### 3/5 — Death

*2021-12-14, version 1.0.0*

Loved the story and graphics but the game is glitchy. Sometimes had to tap an item a dozen times to interact with it  Very frustrating

### 3/5 — Mystery

*2021-09-21, version 1.0.0*

It’s fun but having to pay over $9 in order to continue playing is ridiculous.

### 3/5 — Good, but short

*2021-07-12, version 1.0.0*

Very short. You could tell you were just blowing through it. And the bonus chapter was also brief. But all in all a good game for the price.

### 2/5 — Too short

*2021-04-27, version 1.0.0*

I had to make several clicks to get where I was going. I’m annoyed I paid full price for half a game.

### 3/5 — Pretty good

*2021-04-05, version 1.0.0*

I spent money and several hours playing this game and it was very enjoyable.  However on the last task where you retrieve the letter opener from James’ dossier I was not able to select it so therefore I cannot finish the game.  The developers either do not or will not assist me with the issue and told me to contact Apple.... Apple did not develop this game.  I am very disappointed in the lack of support on this problem.  I have purchased many games from Big Fish and this is the first time I have asked for help and I got nothing.

### 3/5 — Should be up front about the price!

*2021-03-31, version 1.0.0*

Started playing and then was hit with a $6.99 purchase price to continue. Sorry, but that’s too much. Especially when other people are paying $2.99.  Complete turn off.

### 3/5 — Freezing

*2021-01-30, version 1.0.0*

Cannot get a needed item. Unable to retrieve item after updating iPad, turning device off etc. Cannot finish the game

### 3/5 — Haunted Hotel - Death Sentance

*2020-11-04, version 1.0.0*

Well I am glad I bought this on sale as it’s short, the puzzles are so easy, and I can’t even finish the bonus chapter, as I am unable to press the red button to dispense the bird treats, on the vending machine in the garage!  Very disappointed with it Elephant games, could at least have ironed out all the glitches by now!!!!!!!!

### 4/5 — Pretty fun

*2020-09-16, version 1.0.0*

Not always easy to click the items

### 1/5 — I’ve been ripped off!! Stay clear go Big Fish Games!!

*2023-11-16, version 1.0.0*

I purchased this game a year or so ago but now big fish says I didn’t! I have checked other big fish games I have purchased and they all say I didn’t buy them!! Other problem with big fish they Don’t update the games so they no longer play clear on my iPad.  I am contacting apple I want my money back it should be a couple of hundred dollars by now.

### 1/5 — App crashed now says I didn’t purchase it

*2023-07-23, version 1.0.0*

Paid to unlock the game, played until I got the temperature switch for the car in the garage and then the game crashed. Tried to open it back up and it says I haven’t unlocked the game and wants me to pay again. Unfortunate as I was really enjoying the game until that point

### 1/5 — Game

*2023-05-09, version 1.0.0*

I played the demo of this game until it needed to be purchased.I then made the payment.And the full version does not work at all.

### 1/5 — Big ripoff!

*2021-09-24, version 1.0.0*

So much for pay once and own it forever. Deleted the game after I purchased it. A year later wanted to play it again so I downloaded it and hit the already purchased and guess what? It had no info for my account. Big shock!

### 1/5 — Your games are badly made .

*2021-07-10, version 1.0.0*

We pay you over. $9 dollars per game. And what do we get but games that hardly play worth a damn . I’ve bought two games this week and both you can’t play through . I’ve had it . I’m not going to pay another red cent. I’m done with Big Fish games . Oh yeah sometimes you buy a game and it’s built for iPhones size , 4”, 6” etc. And they don’t tell you till you try to open the game . Sloppy, sloppy, sloppy. Shame on The Big Fish company and iTunes for getting after them to clean up their act.

### 1/5 — Purchase Conditional

*2021-04-30, version 1.0.0*

If you purchase any game from Big Fish Games, purchases stay with the device it was purchased on.  I upgraded my iPad and lost purchases, including downloads, when I attempted to download purchased games.   I’m in the US, and on Big Fish Games, the US flag is not even an option. DO NOT PURCHASE!!

### 1/5 — Haunted Hotel

*2020-09-07, version 1.0.0*

Just paid for this and now it won’t play . Just wasted £6.99 not happy 🤬

### 1/5 — Bad game

*2020-07-27, version 1.0.0*

I enjoyed the first part of the game then it wanted me to pay for the second part I didn’t mean to purchase it but your game glitches out now says I gave the developers money and the game doesn’t even work I want a refund as I can’t even get on the game now after purchasing the second part

### 1/5 — Dated, sluggish and tedious

*2019-11-01, version 1.0.0*

Sluggish response on screen in hops, regular scenes and map. Map doesn’t indicate collectibles. Very dated art. Voice acting sub par. No alternate hops. Hops were messy. Gratuitous scare tactics, like a skeleton suddenly appearing. Using a tool, such as a hammer removing nails, requires picking up hammer and applying it to scene multiple times=tedious. I didn’t even finish the demo.

### 1/5 — Started off bad

*2018-12-23, version 1.0.0*

There was a glitch in the first hidden object game. For about 20 minutes I thought maybe I didn’t know what a reel is. I clicked every single pixel of that freaking reel image  countless times. I’m assuming there was a hidden game behind the HOG where you have to click the image so many times before it actually lets you move on. I’m sure the iOS update on my iPad Pro 10.5 wasn’t the cause of this, or was it?

### 5/5 — Great game

*2024-03-14, version 1.0.0*

Well worth playing,keeps your brain cells active

### 5/5 — Excellent!!

*2023-06-03, version 1.0.0*

While this game may be on the shorter side, it’s amazingly good.
So often the voice acting in HO games are pure cringe but not this time and the artwork was wonderfully creepy and detailed.  

Whoever did the artwork for Lilith created one of the best and truly scariest looking characters I’ve ever seen in a Big Fish game thus far.  She always made my stomach drop when she’d come on screen.

Other than that, it was the perfect mix between HO puzzles and non-HO, which is the most important aspect I always judge an HO game by. Some of them get really heavy handed with the non-HO puzzles and those puzzles are definitely not why I buy HO games.

### 5/5 — A fun game

*2023-03-16, version 1.0.0*

I wish the bonus game was longer but overall very enjoyable.
