### 3/5 — Updates

*2026-08-23, version 1.100.10000*

Why do updates transfer across all platforms

### 3/5 — Useless game now

*2026-08-22, version 1.100.10000*

WTH did you do to the game? Don’t you think it’s hard enough and then you have to make a scene different every single time it’s played now?? I used to love this game and I’ve played this game for years. You have freaking ruined it. I won’t be spending any more money.

### 2/5 — no update chinese cities

*2026-08-20, version 1.100.10000*

why not update Chinese cities part anymore？also too many up cities which are not good enough.

### 3/5 — Preachy

*2026-08-20, version 1.100.10000*

I still think this is the best game I've ever played.  Really awesome graphics and lots of variety.  But this month's scene is way off.  It's beautiful and challenging, but it's gone in the political/preachy direction.  I play this game for escape and entertainment, not for an agenda.  Please reconsider your audience and keep it fun and clean and upbeat.  I spend money, don't just play for free!

### 3/5 — Changes are not all good.

*2026-08-17, version 1.100.10000*

I love this game I play no other. I love the graphics and I love the ability  to maneuver around.   
Changing useful collections that award useful boosters such as the Golden Owl for double the experience so that it is impossible to get them anymore. When we level up, we only get the difference between our target energy and the balance of energy we had when we levelled up.  They are making the events more and more difficult and bombard us with ads to try and get us to download games that I DO NOT WANT!

G5 has changed the game for the benefit of the players, but I feel this is not correct. Example, the daily task today says Spend 500 coins.  Well the only thing you can buy with coins are chronometers and the most economical is 10 chronometers for 90000 coins.  My coin balance needs building up so it's not worth playing the daily task today. I do enjoy when playing a daily task the rewards help increase the things I need for the 5 stars thank you for that. 
    I have asked to change the energy back to how it used to be and also make the Golden Owl more readily available. 

   I truly enjoy being able to maneuver when gifting I can visit and then to visiting. It’s  wonderful how you can maneuver around chat, gifting, visiting.
 Thank you very much for that.  

  Will there ever be a search box when gifting in the collection tab?

Again thank you for this great game. The colors, graphics and stories are enjoyable.

### 4/5 — Please change a couple things

*2026-08-17, version 1.99.9900*

Okay, I really like this game but a couple things need to be changed. 

I seriously need to know how to turn off this Natural Inspiration side game or whatever it’s called. This thing opens up after every single scene I’ve just searched. It’s SO extremely annoying! Hopefully it’ll be gone with the new scene update.

And please change the monster fights back to the original way. I never play them now it’s just too repetitive & takes too much time.

### 4/5 — Stop asking to charge “friends” locations

*2026-08-13, version 1.99.9900*

When one of tasks to obtain rewards for charging “friends” locations…don’t play.  And therefore don’t see ads.  Don’t play with “friends” and never will. Also never play Daily Challenges when Expedition game is involved.

### 4/5 — 2026

*2026-08-13, version 1.99.9900*

Just wanted to point out that the task ask to find 150 memory petals in Borderland this means you would at least have to play the same scene 10 times to find 15 memory pedals in other words terrible and why when I want to write review does my rewiew from 2024 show up

### 4/5 — Hidden Seekers

*2026-08-09*

i will let you know when I try it

### 3/5 — Pop ups

*2026-08-08, version 1.99.9900*

I really enjoy this game. I would give it a higher rating of 5 stars if there were not so many pop ups! Just starting the game today and I had to click out of TEN links where they want me to give them money for extra “stuff” in the game. If you want to sell extra “stuff”, let people go to the game store instead of annoying players with all these pop ups. I actually quit playing this game for about a year because of all the pop ups!

### 2/5 — Natural inspiration page constantly counting and updating our achievements is ANNOYING

*2026-08-08, version 1.99.9900*

If each place gives a minimum 100 and maximum 300 points a time then what is the point of giving out prizes if we got like for example 160 points? And the page keeps showing up is so annoying and ruins the experience. It should give notifications when the points accumulate to a certain high level.btw I love the game but this is the first time ever I give out a bad comment.

### 3/5 — Game is getting boring

*2026-08-04, version 1.99.9900*

There are way to many lulls in the game recently where there is nothing happening. No rewards, no challenges and very little movement with the type of mode being offered.

### 3/5 — App is freezing

*2026-08-03, version 1.99.9900*

My favorite game to play however for 2 days now it has frozen so often and I have to close it.  This is frustrating and stops my advancement in the game.

### 1/5 — Newsfeed disrupts gifting

*2026-08-20, version 1.100.10000*

If I could give 0 stars, I would.

### 1/5 — Scammers

*2026-08-18, version 1.100.10000*

You just gave me 30 mins of free playing but you are such scammers you started timing straight away. And guess what I can’t play because the scenes won’t let me as they are downloading some scams . lol why give free time and then play these stupid games. Shameless

### 1/5 — Frustrated!!!

*2026-08-13, version 1.99.9900*

This is an amazing game, until you reach certain levels, first of all the ads are ridiculous and I’ve reached levels where I can’t continue this game anymore, I had a stroke 6 months ago I will not spend money for items for me level up I thought it was relaxing until the last few days that I’ve played this game. Yes people are able to do this game unfortunately I can’t as I’m sure there are other people also. Relaxing game until now,

### 1/5 — Scammers

*2026-08-10, version 1.99.9900*

Stop giving out gift boxes with nothing that’s worth while in them.

### 1/5 — Check settings

*2026-08-09, version 1.99.9900*

You may find your info being sold and your device being used by a third party remotely.

### 1/5 — Natural inspiration game sucks

*2026-08-01, version 1.99.9900*

Okay, I seriously need to know how to turn off this Natural Inspiration side game or whatever it’s called. This thing opens up after every single scene I’ve just searched. It’s SO extremely annoying that it’s starting to put me off playing this game at all. You at least need to make it so that we can open it up ourselves & not have it automatically open after every scene - I can’t play like this! 😠

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2026-08-01, version 1.99.9900*

This game is just horrible. I hate playing it and I am not going to play it anymore.

### 1/5 — Love Hidden Cities

*2026-07-28, version 1.99.9900*

I wrote a 5 star review earlier but now I’m upset that I used 3 different boosters (2 for 2 hours and one for 6 hours)that never helped me get the Pharmacy Weight to complete one of the event tasks. That’s not fair and very frustrating. They give you all the other assemblers that are not needed for the task. My friend spent 90,000 coins on compasses, (twice!) and complained and got nowhere with any help. The support group is not user friendly.

### 1/5 — Evil

*2026-07-28, version 1.99.9900*

You people are evil the worst anyone can encounter.  Stop your begging for a way in to my bank account. Not spending a cent.

### 1/5 — Event Download stuck at 58% on iPad

*2026-07-22, version 1.99.9900*

New event will not download for iPad players. I’ve been trying all day. It’s stuck at 58% and won’t go further

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-08-23, version 1.100.10000*

I love the graphics . Playing it since the pandemic.
I wish we can open up games with money accumulated as well not just buying more rubies. I don’t get the explosion mine challenge.

### 5/5 — Fun game

*2026-08-18, version 1.100.10000*

It’s great to play when waiting at the doctor’s office!

### 5/5 — Fantastic Game

*2026-08-10, version 1.99.9900*

I can’t get enough of this game. Beautiful graphics. Hours of fun. Helps defogger my brain. Great story plots. Definitely recommend. I have had this game for years and the only one I never want to uninstall. Bravo,

### 5/5 — Jokes on you

*2026-08-08, version 1.99.9900*

Free game is a joke. This is the most expensive game that I have ever played. In one game I paid a monthly fee and that was all. I wish there was a way to advance without giving the game cash to buy rubies for any of the tools or items. It’s a great game but unless I have paid the piper I am constantly failing to advance. So 5 stars for creativity, development and art and zip for the big lie.

### 5/5 — Review

*2026-08-03, version 1.99.9900*

I love this game is excellent fun entertaining

### 5/5 — Awesome!! 🤩

*2026-07-31, version 1.99.9900*

I never played a game like this one before🪅🌈♟️

### 5/5 — Keeps my mind sharp

*2026-07-20, version 1.99.9900*

I enjoy playing all the different challenges and the varied games. The stories are interesting and new search scenes keep me thinking. I am going on over four years of playing this one, and I have uninstalled almost all other games because I prefer this one the most.Staying connected while I am playing is the only issue.

### 5/5 — Fun

*2026-07-20*

Good

### 5/5 — Dessins et musiques inventifs

*2026-07-20*

Ça fait des années que je joue à ce jeu et je ne m’en lasse pas. J’adore les dessins , les personnages plus beaux les uns que les autres et les ambiances musicales. A chaque événement on découvre un nouvel environnement avec son ambiance. La mise en place des équipes apporte du challenge et des échanges avec les autres joueurs , on profite aussi du travail de son équipe et on peut s’encourager mutuellement . Franchement je trouve ce jeu très agréable

**Developer response:** C'est génial que vous appréciez tant les dessins et les musiques ! Nous sommes ravis de vous compter parmi nos joueurs fidèles et espérons que vous continuerez à profiter de toutes les nouveautés à venir.

### 5/5 — Title: I Love This Game!

*2026-07-16, version 1.98.9802*

I’ve been playing this game for years. Whenever I have some free time, I always come back to it. There’s nothing I don’t like about it. The only thing I miss is the old levels that took place beneath the city, and I also miss how the locations used to work—you had to reach a certain level before you could unlock them.

This isn’t meant as a criticism, but I think that system made the game more interesting because it motivated us to keep improving and progressing so we could discover and play in a new scene. Other than that, everything is perfect!
