### 4/5 — Nicely challenging

*2024-08-06, version 1.0.0*

I like these games a great deal. The puzzles are all different and challenging. The only reason I did not give it a 5 star is because sometimes I will be trying to place an object where it belongs and it takes several tries before it will except it. I enjoy these games greatly especially since they do not have the supernatural aspect that many of Big Fish games have in them. I hope I will find more like this series. These are my favorite type of games. They make me think. Many of the puzzles are very challenging. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

### 5/5 — Superb

*2024-06-18, version 1.0.0*

I’m enjoying this game. Keeps me occupied..

### 5/5 — Very Enjoyable!

*2022-02-03, version 1.0.0*

With many of the HO games, I don’t pay a lot of attention to the story. This one (focused on Venice) kept me interested throughout. I also enjoyed the variety of games and puzzles, although some of the puzzle directions could have been clearer. 

I also enjoyed the graphics and illustrations.

### 5/5 — An excellent addition to hidden expedition series

*2020-07-29, version 1.0.0*

Very good story taking through Venice and talking about Marco Polo. Good mini games and HOPs. Not much horror, so that was pleasant. Just some ninjas.  Very cool. Now I even completed it a second time though and it was fun still.

### 2/5 — Just okay

*2020-05-09, version 1.0.0*

Story not very engaging and the mini games were pretty pointless.

### 4/5 — 2nd time around - more fun than the 1st

*2019-11-01, version 1.0.0*

I'm not sure why, but I am enjoying this game much more than the first time I played it. Maybe I've changed the way I view games. This one is colorful and historical. I love history. The sparkles are extra fun and lovely. My favorite games have the best sparkles :) If the visual experience is top notch, that's 75% of the game's success, in my opinion. Moving the pieces about was smooth. The mini games were interesting, although a couple were too hard to understand - it seemed parts were missing. The HOPs were much too easy and unremarkable. Good game and still extremely playable!

### 4/5 — Top quality game

*2019-07-26, version 1.0.0*

Would have been 5 stars if some of the mini puzzles weren’t so difficult to understand. Storyline was very interesting.

### 5/5 — Interesting on different levels

*2019-04-07, version 1.0.0*

Lovely setting in Murano and Venice. Focus on history and conservation. Good puzzles.

### 5/5 — One of my favorites...

*2018-05-05, version 1.0.0*

Lots of reviews both ways. I seldom review, but this game makes me want to! I don't know that there's anything groundbreaking, but for me this is a solid game that I enjoy replaying.

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2018-04-23, version 1.0.0*

Many items esp within hos far too small for iphones. Answers without logic leaving you tapping randomly at the screen like a demented ape. Even when select correct answer it doesn’t register and having tried everything else hint then frustratingly tells you you had it right to begin with. I am also bored senseless. Don’t ask me what’s going on or what any of their names are. It’s like a bad book but I always feel like I must finish them for FOMO. Bought after seeing shining reviews.. so here’s my honest 2 cents
