I was playing the game and it just went off. I thought maybe it was just where the free part ended. Or it’s just buggy as others have called it. I can say regardless i won’t buy the game because what if it IS buggy? Then I’d have wasted money on the game. An explanation would be nice ### 3/5 — Trial too short *2023-02-08, version 1.0.0* I am enjoyed the short trial play but it was too short to make an informed decision on whether I would continue and buy the full version. I do find it a bit annoying when you HAVE to click on the X to close a window and cannot just click anywhere on the screen. ### 4/5 — hidden expedition ; Salomon *2022-10-23, version 1.0.0* intriguing ### 3/5 — Bon jeu *2022-07-28, version 1.0.0* Graphisme et histoire sympa le reproche que je ferais est la partie indices Quand on clique et que ça donne rien le jeu met la phrase « mais que ferait Sam « ou alors « je suis une débutante » franchement ça me saoule ! Il serait mieux de donner une piste d indice C est le seul reproche que je vais faire. Bonne continuation ### 3/5 — Post Demo Review; Post Purchase Review 2 Follow *2022-04-12, version 1.0.0* Playing a lot of older but carefully reviewed games and this one has potential to be a good/great one! Demo was fun and interesting like Eipix of old was known for. K i n d a on the short side though so hopefully the full version will be longer (fingers crossed). Since this is a new review of an older game I’m pretending I didn’t read any other reviews already saying it was a bit short as far as total gameplay time-from the old school, no pulled punches, been there done that, tell it like it is-review teammates. ie: Linx Minx, Opinion, KDB etal. **Off point…but thanks to you listed above and others on giving facts with a small bit of personal opinion in your reviews that help someone like me to judge and decide for myself on what’s what as far as gameplay and mechanics goes. You know he doesn’t like vampires I hate crime stories. That is ALL personal preference. But, I digress.** I hope and pretty sure, long or short, the rest of the game will be fantastic. Again thanks and kudos go out to the reviewer elitist! You know who you are. So just know, “You are appreciated and ‘Thank you’ for all you do.” Kothen66 ### 4/5 — such a shame *2021-12-23, version 1.0.0* I loved Big Fish (hidden puzzles)games for years however this year the puzzles dear with supernatural, witches, spirits etc.. I really wish they would begin make some that doesn’t deal with sorcery. I haven’t bought any in a year because I can’t find any puzzles without ghost and spirits. They used to have both kinds of games available but then they gradually took away the are like mysteries and detective puzzles. I would have given 5 stars before and do but not for this year’s puzzles. 😥 ### 2/5 — Snowman fail! *2021-04-07, version 1.0.0* It keeps crashing at the same spot. Please help, or refund me. ### 3/5 — Good story line *2020-12-28, version 1.0.0* Graphics good. My main problem is with the mini puzzles. Many are complicated but you get a one sentence instruction. And after you have to skip you see how it was supposed to have been done which often as not doesn’t bear any resemblance to the instructions. I’ve seen other reviews of Eipix puzzles with the same complaint. The developers should listen. Also, if you’re into morphing objects hidden in the HOPs, it doesn’t count the ones found. I found everyone but the score says I found none. It’s just a one off for Eipix games. I just love finding them all. ### 4/5 — Sympa mais payant *2020-11-11, version 1.0.0* Le jeu est jolie. Les énigmes sont bien faites, difficiles mais pas trop. Quel dommage qu’au bout de 15mn on nous demande de payer pour voir la suite. Ça gâche un peu. Autant le dire dès le départ ! ### 4/5 — Graphics are amazing *2019-08-30, version 1.0.0* Only thing with this game is that the hops were mostly really small and hard to grab. This is why I didn’t give the game a 5 star rating. Easily a 4 star though. ### 3/5 — Meh *2019-06-21, version 1.0.0* Unfortunately it seems Big Fish has fallen into a deep rut. I’ve purchased dozens of these games and there’s just no improvement on the play, it feels like it’s the same game with a different wrapping. My biggest complaints about Big Fish HO games are: - As I’ve said, there’s nothing new, the games play exactly the same as previous titles. I wouldn’t be even a little surprised to find that they had the same engine with just a different front end. - They don’t put a hint option on the puzzles. I don’t mean the hidden object puzzles, rather the other ones where you have to figure out a configuration of something, or solve some other type of puzzle. You can skip, but there’s no hint. So it’s either all or nothing. - How about a switch up in the antagonist? The character we’re playing is almost always a middle aged woman. When it’s not, then it’s a young woman. I am very curious about this. There was a time when every main character was a man, but Big Fish has flipped it to exclude men from the playable character. Kind of odd. ### 4/5 — Good *2019-06-17, version 1.0.0* It was fun! Great work! ### 2/5 — Geht so. *2019-03-02, version 1.0.0* Reagiert langsam, werde ich , auch für 3,49€, nicht kaufen. Gibt bessere spiele. ### 4/5 — Good game *2019-01-29, version 1.0.0* Good game ### 2/5 — A bit short *2018-06-10, version 1.0.0* Gameplay was a bit short and ended abruptly though the game was overall fairly enjoyable. The story was disjointed and parts did not make much sense. I didn’t see the correlation between the main story and the bonus game? Most of the puzzles weren’t challenging and some didn’t make much sense - ie no real clue as to what I was expected to do so I had to look at the guide and even then I couldn’t figure out how I was supposed to have figured out what to do. Disappointing. Not worth 10.99 :/ ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — What gives? *2025-11-30, version 1.0.0* Purchased this game and played it completely through. Now that I want to replay it, it tells me that my purchase failed. I want to play this again but I don’t want to pay for it again! What gives? ### 1/5 — Needs repair *2024-07-17, version 1.0.0* Closed up on me when it asked for me to pay to continue. Wouldn’t reopen. ### 1/5 — Not Purchased? *2023-09-14, version 1.0.0* I have purchased Hidden Expedtion games. However, I can’t unlock them now, because I get a message that no purchase can be found. These are not the only games doing this. When I tried app support, Oops this page does not exist. Come on, Big Fish! The games are not getting one star; Big Fish is. Please fix this! ### 1/5 — But *2021-05-08, version 1.0.0* Après avoir acheté le jeu complet, impossible de jouer car le jeu se déconnecte à la moindre avancée. Cela ressemble à une arnaque. ### 1/5 — Boring *2020-04-22, version 1.0.0* Glitches galore. Play isn’t smooth. Boring story. ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2018-09-09, version 1.0.0* The game keeps crashing. I am unable to move forward. I was pretty far in so am not interested in reinstalling and starting over. I will be deleting the game. ### 1/5 — Morphing object counter not working *2018-08-15, version 1.0.0* I enjoyed the demo, so bought the game, and then I discovered that the morphing object counter is not working. I am about 3/4 done with the game, and although I’ve found all the morphing objects so far, the counter still shows 12. The sound also cut out at one point, and I had to quit the game and resume it, then it worked again. ### 1/5 — Beaucoup de bogues *2017-07-06, version 1.0.0* C'est trop de bogues ### 1/5 — Not Quite Up To Par *2017-06-24, version 1.0.0* The instructions for the puzzles are pretty worthless, leaving out important clues about the actual mechanics of operating the puzzle or the goal. And particularly irksome, coming to the end of the game and returning to replay the HOAs, most have issues. Each time they load, there is a different problem with the lists of items to find - once appearing in a forgein language, next in a combination of languages, then perhaps as file names for the images, and in at least one case, with text over-running the area altogether and disappearing into the images. All in all, this refurbishment was not complete or was botched and the game is certainly not worth $6.99. ### 1/5 — I hats it! *2016-04-19, version 1.0.0* I didn't even get off the stupid plane and the it stopped working. Half the items mentioned in the guide are not on the screen. Very disappointed...deleting game. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great game *2022-03-01, version 1.0.0* As always from Big Fish, a great game, sometimes the HOP objects are difficult to pick up. But love the storyline and progression through the levels. ### 5/5 — Lenny *2021-10-23, version 1.0.0* This is one of the best I’ve played in a long time. It lasted quite a while whereas some other games are finished too early for the money! This game was a super star 5! ### 5/5 — Brilliant! *2021-06-05, version 1.0.0* I have loved this game from beginning to end! Paid the £6.99 and it was well spent. Looking for my next one to play now ### 5/5 — Good game *2020-03-17, version 1.0.0* Enjoyed playing. ### 5/5 — Big fish *2019-05-29, version 1.0.0* I love it ### 5/5 — Great game Chips. *2018-09-11, version 1.0.0* Have the pc versions, great games. ### 5/5 — Gutes Spiel! *2018-09-07, version 1.0.0* Mir hat‘s richtig gut gefallen. Hatte alles, was man sich wünscht. Die Spiele aus dieser Serie sind bisher immer gut gewesen. ### 5/5 — Ottimo *2018-08-15, version 1.0.0* Non manca nulla! Bello! ### 5/5 — Hidden expedition *2018-03-26, version 1.0.0* Really enjoyed it, nice and long too ### 5/5 — Love it! Awesome! *2018-03-03, version 1.0.0* Great games! Feel sad each time I finish one. The beauty about the hidden expedition ones is there are no supernatural horror ghost themes. I wish there were more. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
