### 4/5 — 😘

*2022-11-20, version 1.0.10*

Nice little game, all these games from Fire Maple games are worth it, this one is a bit short, but as it was very cheap, that's ok.Nice story and graphics, a bit of wondering about, but as it was beautiful to look at, not a problem, a must to while away an hour or two. Give it a go.🤗🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

### 4/5 — Nostalgic

*2022-09-16, version 1.0.10*

This game reminded of one from yesteryear when life was more simple and refined. Not one of the best games with challenges not too difficult but it reminded me of games from a generation ago. It was pleasantly enjoyable with a reasonably entertaining storyline.

### 4/5 — This Is So Fun!

*2020-03-07, version 1.0.9*

Yet another success from Fire Maple Games!  The graphics are simply beautiful, and the game play is fun—just challenging enough to keep you exploring, but always perfectly intuitive.  Please purchase and play all these games!  (Only reason I didn’t vote five stars is because I save those for The Room series!)

### 5/5 — Hidden World

*2020-02-27*

Dieses Spiel ist etwas weniger Real sondern mehr Fantasy als die bisherigen Fire Maple Games, trotzdem sind die Rätsel toll gemacht und empfehlenswert! Großes Lob an die kreativen Spielemacher! :)

### 5/5 — Chadino

*2020-02-19, version 1.0.9*

I don’t often write reviews but this game was magnificent. Not too easy and not too hard. I loved it and you should buy it for that price it was worth it!!

### 5/5 — Family-friendly puzzler

*2020-01-29, version 1.0.9*

I am a fan of the Fire Maple games.  Hidden World benefits from the forethought that went into making the puzzles fit in with the story, which the developers seem to get better at with each release.  The puzzles themselves are at a medium level of difficulty; just hard enough to make you think, but far from exasperating.  I also appreciate how the developers spent time creating clever, organic puzzles that avoid employing the lazy tropes (slider puzzles, combination lock puzzles, tiny hidden objects, finding/using items that make no sense in the story/environment) that many of the games in the genre fall back on.

This game, like all of Fire Maple’s games, is a welcome relief from the gloomy, creepy settings and atmosphere in most of the games in this genre.  The music is pleasant and the visuals are colorful, which makes for a stress-free, family-friendly, puzzle-solving experience.  The journal and the map are useful features, as well.

Overall, this is a nice, calm way to spend a few hours, and scratch that puzzling itch.  It doesn’t quite measure up to the Room and House of DaVinci games, but it’s a decent approximation.

### 3/5 — BELLS

*2019-11-27, version 1.0.9*

I can’t get the bells to open the wall. I know that I have the right sequence, but I doesn’t work. I like the game until this happened.

### 5/5 — hello

*2019-08-10, version 1.0.9*

why it takes years to make another game ... unfortunately they are my favorites😞

### 5/5 — Muito inteligente

*2019-08-07*

Jogo com ótimos gráficos e enigmas. Parabéns!

### 5/5 — Красивая игра 🎮

*2019-04-22*

Игра понравилась, графика прорисована на отлично. Что касается квестов, то они вполне  логичные и нужные предметы находятся, поэтому можно обойтись без подсказок, но они на всякий случай есть в игре, причём бесплатно. При желании игру можно пройти и за один вечер, потому что она недолгая. 
В целом чувствуется, что игру сделали с душою. За это спасибо разработчикам.

### 5/5 — Very fun

*2019-03-02, version 1.0.9*

Love this game and all the games from fire maple games. So much fun and challenging just enough. I have played this game twice and both times were super fun.

### 5/5 — Замечательно

*2019-02-17*

Порадовало то, что игра бесплатна от начала и до конца. Интересный сюжет, мне понравилось)

### 5/5 — Your games are so much fun

*2019-01-30, version 1.0.9*

But too short! I wish you had more…

### 5/5 — Why is no one else making games this well??

*2019-01-17, version 1.0.9*

ALL of the games Fire Maple developers have put out are great. I highly recommend them. The puzzles are challenging but fun. They will leave. You thinking about it long after you turn the game off (I have woken up from sleep after finally working out a puzzle)! Very few escape/adventure type games are as fun and exciting as these ones. Worth the money!

### 4/5 — Decent little game

*2018-12-31, version 1.0.8*

Only took a few hours to complete, but as soon as I managed to get it for free I can hardly complain.
Puzzles are modestly difficult and hence pitched just about right.
Graphics are fairly basic, but that doesn’t detract from the game itself.
I see many parallels between the production of this game and what Syntaxity Inc produce. Perhaps they are someway intertwined?
If you like. And click games, and I can’t think of any reason why you wouldn’t like this one. Would have been happy to pay a small amount for it.
Looking forward to playing the next game.

### 4/5 — Beautiful but short.

*2018-12-23, version 1.0.8*

As with other games from this developer, this game is well designed and executed. The art and music are beautiful, and the puzzles are fun. Overall the game isn’t as challenging as it could be and I was able to breeze through it in an hour or so, but it was still enjoyable.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Won’t open

*2023-10-06, version 1.0.10*

I love all the Fire Maple games and have played this one many many times. But it will no longer open. I have deleted and reinstalled and it still doesn’t work. At all. When I open the app it remains a black screen. Sucks to pay for a game that you can’t play. I would give 5 stars if I could actually open the app and play.

### 1/5 — Bug!

*2022-11-11, version 1.0.10*

I love this game series and played through the original Grisley Manor and lost city but there is a bug with the piano puzzle in this game. When you go to enter the third puzzle combination on the piano the game will freeze and you are unable to play any further. Upon restarting the game the puzzle shows I’ve completed two piano combinations but will not show the third combination anymore. When I try to enter the third combination again (I memorized the sequence) it will not let me complete it! I hope it gets fixed soon I love these games and hope to buy the rest of the series but will not until this game gets fixed

### 1/5 — Simple, voire simplet

*2018-12-23*

Pas besoin de cerveau pour y jouer, ce qui plaira á la majorité...

### 1/5 — I'm stuck!!!

*2018-04-12, version 1.0.6*

I can't do anything in the buildings. Just give me the stuff to find!!

### 1/5 — ？？？

*2017-04-05*

無料版との違いがわからない…買って損した気分

### 1/5 — Worst game ever

*2016-08-18, version 1.0.5*

I can't believe that I wasted money on this game. There are no hints for any of the scenes, no maps, etc.  Very poorly done.

### 1/5 — Hidden world

*2015-09-26, version 1.0.3*

I have restarted this game three times and reloaded it twice to get the bells to work.  Still no go.  What a bummer to put all this work into it and not have it work.  Any advice on what to do

### 2/5 — 구매내역 삭제 부탁드려요

### 3/5 — Too short

*2020-03-23, version 1.0.9*

Beautiful graphics and clever plot. But it was just way too short. I just found Fire Maple Games and have played all but Thimbly Creek. The game play is consistent but the length is all over the place. Grisly Manor and this one could be played in a couple of hours. Return to GM and Lost City went on and on. They need some kind of standard about how long their games are going to be IMO. Enjoyed playing it tho. Now the jigsaw puzzle in the other game makes sense.

### 5/5 — Bell puzzle

*2024-01-11, version 1.0.10*

I’ve played several Fire Maple Games and love them. Thus the five star review.  I’ve never run into a game glitch until today. In the bell puzzle, I have tried again and again to use the hint system and solve the bell puzzle but the puzzle won’t unlock. I don’t know where to get help for this.

### 5/5 — Family friendly fun

*2020-06-17, version 1.0.9*

I love the family friendly nature of Fire Maple Games. They aren't dark or creepy and are so well designed. The puzzles, clues, and storyline are all intriguing. I have so enjoyed every one of their games.
