### 1/5 — If I could see it

*2026-03-23, version 1.0.1*

The print is so tiny on the hidden object games and you can’t zoom in unplayable

### 5/5 — I love your games!!

*2026-02-16, version 1.0.1*

They are just challenging enough!

### 5/5 — Loved this game

*2025-06-11, version 1.0.1*

Cannot seem to find many good mystery games anymore unless they’re really old but this one was amazing. Please continue to make more games. I miss all the elephant games and if you’re wondering about this one play it, you won’t regret it. It’s a good mystery. It’s got a lot of good puzzles and hidden object

### 2/5 — A Haunting Novel: The Burton Hotel by LynxMinx

*2025-05-13, version 1.0.1*

This game was just a revamp of Elephant’s defunct series, Haunted Hotel, and the storyline was not unique. The game was plagued by awful touchscreen sensitivity, which did not allow for the completion of the mini-game where you had to untangle chains. In addition, the HO puzzles could not be enlarged and the text for the objects needed to be found was so tiny it was almost impossible to read. There’s no excuse for making it impossible to play and enjoy a game! The only thing that saved this game from being a total failure was that general gameplay was enjoyable, and inventory usage was innovative at times, with a plethora of tasks at each location. The game was also fairly lengthy.
I’m leaving my rating at 2 stars. Elephant needs to provide us with zoom in the HO scenes as well as readable text!

### 4/5 — Fun but…

*2024-12-26, version 1.0.1*

Was a really good game. Should probably mention in the App Store download that it has app purchases because it isn’t truly a free game. Disappointed but may end up paying the $6.99

### 4/5 — Haunting Novel 1: Haunting Hotel

*2024-12-22, version 1.0.1*

I enjoyed the game to a point. I had to tap on the items multiple times. The items did not have names and some of the inventory did not match the objects. J.F

### 4/5 — 🙂👍

*2024-11-21*

Was a good game but the old haunted hotel games were better 💫
