### 3/5 — So Sobs

*2026-06-06, version 1.1.2*

I kind like this game

### 2/5 — Rubbish

*2025-06-07, version 1.1.2*

Worked when originally purchased, played Stone Age era. Just purchased Japan Option and  it’s vanished off the Screen as a travel Option!

Now every other Option is to Purchase Only.

Reporting to Apple for Refund

### 2/5 — Pretty basic

*2024-12-02, version 1.1.2*

For the money, this was very disappointing. The interactions with objects and buildings was very basic. I love Hidden Folk and was hoping this was more like that, but the.landscapes were minimal and each stage is short and disappointing.

### 2/5 — Well

*2024-09-08, version 1.1.2*

Like many reviewers, I found this game after playing Hidden Folks. This one has a couple of perks to it like being able to create custom levels and the ability to skip around. Other than that, there are a few downsides to it. There’s an issue where the tap doesn’t register in the same spot I’m pointing which makes gameplay a bit slow. The levels become repetitive because they reuse objects. The hints are poorly written. I’m still in the Egyptian phase of the game, so I'm sure I’ll find more issues as I go along.

### 3/5 — Purchased but unable to play

*2024-04-20, version 1.1.1*

I love this game and I purchased all the expansion packs and I go to play it today and they are all locked, and it wants me to purchase them again. How do I fix this?

### 4/5 — A little Disappointed

*2024-04-05, version 1.0.31*

I think HTT2 is way better. And the extra packs are too expensive for what you get. They’re too easy and it’s over too fast. 
Still since hidden folks quit making new games there are so few of these types out there and I do think this game is better than most.

### 3/5 — Дорого

*2024-01-21*

Уровней очень мало, прошла все за пару часов. За 250 р это извините дорого. Остальные эпохи еще по 200 р каждая. Вы обалдели? Мне в сумме 1250 надо заплатить чтобы поиграть в игру? Грустно :( сама игра конечно хорошая, интересная и смешная, но цена необоснованна.

### 2/5 — Rip off

*2023-12-22, version 1.0.31*

I like this game but £1.99 for literally a couple of hours play, and then another level you have to buy… and another… just really not enough of a challenge or long enough to justify the cost.

### 4/5 — It’s another little gem

*2023-01-03, version 1.0.22*

This reminds me of another, delightful game - Hidden Folks. The design here is somehow less sophisticated and this is the only reason it didn’t get five stars. I greatly appreciate that I can turn the music off but still have the the sound effects when tapping on objects. The only thing I don’t like is the oversized banner of items to find and that I can’t get rid of the clue once I tap on the pic of the item to be found. Overall, a lovely game.

### 3/5 — A few things to fix until I will recommend it

*2022-12-31, version 1.0.22*

1. Kinda copied off hidden folks. You didn’t even do a good job copying!

2. The in app purchases are a little much.

3.the hints are not very good. I couldn’t find something in level 2.
Level 2!!!!!

Other than that the game is great.

### 4/5 — Fix received

*2022-07-27, version 1.0.22*

Good game

### 4/5 — Love the app, but now it’s having issues.

*2022-07-25, version 1.0.21*

I purchased the Aztec story, but I can’t play it. The screen opens to the timeline and is just stuck. The screen will not scroll and no buttons will click.

I can’t purchase the Pirate story at all. It asks me if I want to purchase it, I click yes, and nothing happens.

I have the newest update.

### 4/5 — New story line not working

*2022-07-24, version 1.0.21*

I love hidden through time and was very excited to see the pirate and Aztec storyline. I was not able to purchase the pirate storyline as every time I hit purchase, nothing happened. Now I have the Aztec storyline however it seems to be frozen and will not work. I shut the app down & turned my phone off/on and it will not work. Can the developer please help?

**Developer response:** Apologies for the inconvenience. A patch has been rolled out that should resolve this issue!

### 3/5 — Okay

*2022-07-22, version 1.0.21*

It’s a cute game, but not up to the standard of Hidden Folks. The tap sensitivity seems to be quit off sometimes, and it will register a tap on a nearby object instead of what I was trying to tap. It’s also pretty short. It only took a couple hours to complete.

### 4/5 — More levels are needed.

*2022-06-12, version 1.0.20*

Love this game. I wish there were more levels. Please give us more levels.

### 3/5 — Enjoying this game - but what’s up with the “Native Attack” level?

*2022-06-06, version 1.0.20*

The “Native Attack” level is not cool. Happy I could skip it. Not sure why anyone thought that was a good idea. Very disrespectful toward Native people.

### 1/5 — Startet nicht!

*2023-01-30*

Das spiel startet nicht! Schwarzes Bild mit logo ist das einzige, was man sieht. Sehr ärgerlich, wenn die kinder sich sehr darauf freuen...

*2022-12-11*

機種は対応しているはずですが起動せずすぐに落ちてしまいます。

### 1/5 — 아즈텍 의식 플레이가 안돼요

*2022-07-23*

2,500원 돌려주던가 버그 수정해주세요

해적의 보물은 결제 진행이 안되네요

**Developer response:** Apologies for the inconvenience. A patch has been rolled out that should resolve this issue!

### 1/5 — Não funciona, dinheiro jogado fora.

*2022-06-28*

Horrível

### 1/5 — Unimpressed

*2022-06-03, version 1.0.20*

I expected more than an hour worth of play for a game that cost $3.

### 1/5 — Also crashing

*2022-04-20, version 1.0.20*

Bought it and have never been able to play because it just crashes

### 1/5 — No sound

*2022-02-09*

### 1/5 — Não funciona no meu iPad mini

*2021-10-07*

Não funciona no meu iPad, não passa nem da splashscreen...

### 1/5 — Crashes on iPad

*2021-08-02, version 1.0.20*

I’d love to give this game a higher rating but it won’t load on my iPad Air. I’m running iOS 12.5.4 and it won’t go past the developer’s screen. It works on my iPhone but I can’t appreciate the details on a screen that small.

### 1/5 — Looks great, doesn’t work.

*2021-07-12, version 1.0.20*

Crash

### 5/5 — Great casual game for passing time

*2026-07-16, version 1.1.2*

I love this game for passing time. 
The graphics are nice, the mechanics for playing the game are good and I like the fact there are plenty of free levels.

### 5/5 — I am absolutely in love with it!

*2024-11-01*

That’s all i wanted to say. Thank you for such a quality product and being gentle to those who are not tollerate to inbuilt advertisement)) i am purely enjoying your games every day))

### 5/5 — Great Game

*2023-03-12, version 1.0.22*

I saw this accused of “racism” so I bought it. It’s a fun game and isn’t harmful or offensive to anyone, unlike condescending white liberalism.

### 5/5 — A fine journey.

*2023-02-16, version 1.0.22*

This is a very enjoyable game. Just follow the given clues to find objects while taking time to enjoy the scenery. The background music carries you along. I recommend it.

### 5/5 — PLEASE MORE!!!!

*2023-02-09, version 1.0.22*

I LOVE all of these puzzles…..and I am HOPING there will be more new challenges.  I’ve played each game LOTS of time….so many I’m beginning to remember where things are hidden.  Love all the sound effects….appreciate the “tips” ….. and I want MORE!!🙏❤️❤️❤️

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2022-09-23, version 1.0.22*

It almost reminds me of search game in two dots, but I like the scripted hints that are given. 10/10 for me, I enjoy the satisfaction of getting through a tough level and then getting a breather lol

### 5/5 — Crash or bug?

*2022-07-25, version 1.0.21*

Hey there! First of all, i love your game and bought all the map. Today i tried to buy the pirate one but it appstore doesnt open to buy it. I bought the last one(Aztèque) but i cant play it… it doesnt work when i press play… what is wrong??

### 5/5 — Проблема с запуском «Ритуалы ацтеков»

*2022-07-23*

Возникла проблема, то ли из-за геополитической обстановки, то ли по технической причине. Я сегодня купил дополнение «Ритуалы ацтеков», но кампания просто не запускается (((

### 5/5 — Needs a little more fog…

*2022-07-08, version 1.0.20*

### 5/5 — かわいい

*2022-06-11*

HiddenFolksが大好きで似たようなゲームを探していました。酷評のレビューが気になりましたが見た目が可愛くて価格もお手頃だったので思い切って購入してみたところ私的には当たりでした。絵がほんわかしてて癒されますし、小さいものたちがモゾモゾ動いてるのが可愛くて「かわいい〜」と言いながらプレイしています。
