### 3/5 — Debbie

*2024-07-15, version 4.0.7*

Just started the game so far entertaining.

### 3/5 — Frustrating

*2024-05-20*

I really like this game, but whenever I finish one it goes from ENGLISH, back to another language and I can't change it. Just did this again. I can't get it to stay on English. I also paid for NO Ads. It would be nice to be able to play it! I can only play it ONCE, then it WILL NOT go back to English!   Please fix this as I love playing this game, but can't play only once in  24 hours. HELP!!!!!

### 2/5 — Timed?

*2024-02-06, version 4.0.7*

I hate this game because they time it? Seriously? When I take down time to play a game….it’s not to be timed so as to cause stress to a supposedly fun games. Lots of relaxing games to enjoy besides this. And where is the hints that seem to not work while trying to rush so not to lose your time allowed. lol Nope…not fun.

### 4/5 — Challenging

*2023-12-19, version 4.0.7*

Bright graphics. Quite challenging

### 2/5 — Can’t play unless you have great eyesight

*2023-03-11, version 4.0.7*

I wish that I could zoom in more so that I can see the items.
I’m 55 years old and wear glasses, but by no means blind, but
I still can’t see some of the items, so I’m disappointed.

### 2/5 — Ads like crazy

*2022-11-30, version 4.0.7*

To many ads

### 3/5 — Hints

*2022-09-29, version 4.0.7*

I really like this game. Interesting and relaxing. However, I paid $6.99 for no ads and unlimited hints but am still having to watch ads to get hints. Please fix this.

### 2/5 — Objects

*2022-08-29, version 4.0.7*

Items to find very small and the picture is dark.

### 3/5 — Fix Your Game!

*2022-08-27, version 4.0.7*

This game is fun. A few days ago it started having a problem. I can play one game, and then the screen goes black, and the game closes.  It’s hard to play and spend $2 for hints when this is happening!

### 3/5 — Mrs Pennington

*2022-08-07, version 4.0.7*

Items are too small

### 2/5 — Drives me crazy

*2022-07-10, version 4.0.7*

They put the menu of things to find on top of the puzzle so you can’t see under the menu to find items. Soon going to delete this one!

### 1/5 — Took my money

*2022-05-08, version 4.0.7*

I really like the game. So I wanted to open more Search places, also wanted to take timer off .. paid my money the ruby when away but I can not disengage the timer nor has any of the other search areas have opened… fix the problem or give me my money back

### 1/5 — App failing!

*2025-07-20, version 4.1.1*

Every time I go to complete a hidden picture scene, once finished it goes to a black screen. I reopen the app and it goes to a black screen again. It keeps happening over and over again, and I have updated the app. Not sure what’s going on with it. It was a good app but not anymore. Also, “SPAIN COMING SOON” never comes. Apparently the game developer doesn’t care about updating the game.

### 1/5 — Hidden objects

*2024-03-03, version 4.0.7*

Why charge seniors ""we are not all rich.

### 1/5 — That Didn’t Take Long

*2024-02-07, version 4.0.7*

Reviews said it wasn’t a game with the annoying time limits. Since that’s what I’m looking for I excitedly downloaded it. First thing you find in Settings is that you have to immediately pay $6.99 for that feature without even trying the game. Deleted.

### 1/5 — Not worth it

*2023-11-11, version 4.0.7*

I liked it at first .  Then I paid for it but got nothing so I don’t even know why there’s an option to pay.  I thought it was for hints but when I need a hint it asks for mote money or I have to watch an ad.  I feel like I got ripped off.

### 1/5 — Don’t bother

*2023-08-20, version 4.0.7*

Was going to play this but I play games to relax and this is a timed game! I can pay $7.00 to play in relaxed mode but why should I?? Make this a relaxed mode game and I will gladly play but until then I am out!! 🤬🤬

### 1/5 — Cheated out of clues

*2023-07-26, version 4.0.7*

I purchase the 10 clues and only receive two. Tired of getting cheated!

### 1/5 — Enlarge

*2023-05-13, version 4.0.7*

I wish I could enlarge the picture because I can’t see the items. It could be a fun game I think if I could make the questionable items bigger.

### 1/5 — Hidden object game or anagram

*2023-03-17, version 4.0.7*

Get rid of the anagrams 🤦‍♂️

### 1/5 — Delete

*2023-01-01, version 4.0.7*

I don’t like the timer. To get rid of it, I have to pay. No thanks.

### 1/5 — Crash Happy

*2022-08-25, version 4.0.7*

Game continues to crash, causing it to start all over again from the beginning

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2026-03-10, version 4.1.1*

Always make you think

### 5/5 — Please Fix

*2025-02-16, version 4.0.8*

I would like to purchase the relaxed version but am unable to make an in-app purchase.

### 5/5 — More countries

*2024-11-03, version 4.0.7*

Love the game but have finished all the levels! When will more be added?

### 5/5 — Great App, BUT…

*2024-01-12, version 4.0.7*

I play this nearly every day and I’ve had it for nearly a year.  There are enough scenes that you don’t always remember where everything is.  This is probably the best hidden object game I’ve ever had.  And it’s completely free!  

BUT…when will the Spain venue come available?  The app has been displaying “Coming Soon” for the entire time I’ve been playing it.

(Not meant as a complaint - just a hint!)

### 5/5 — Items

*2023-09-25, version 4.0.7*

Hard to see too dark in France

### 5/5 — Hidden objects game

*2023-09-07, version 4.0.7*

Very challenging, which is a good thing. Thank you for the free game!

### 5/5 — Biggest bang for the buck

*2022-08-31, version 4.0.7*

My wife and I play together. Love the fact that they keep up dating the app with new locations. If you like hidden object games without some ridiculous story, this is the one ! !

### 5/5 — So much fun

*2022-03-18, version 4.0.6*

My 10 year grandson and I played this game every evening, it hards to stop playing.   Best hidden object game I’ve found, we’re so sad it’s completed.

### 5/5 — Hidden city

*2021-10-23, version 4.0.4*

I have completed all levels but waiting for new ones how long til they arrive great game
