I started using this game by accident, after a couple of head injuries caused symptoms of what you’d probably now call brain fog. I found the game helped improve my ability to focus and analyse patterns again. It was helpful, and less stressful to compete against myself, which is how this game operates. There is great satisfaction in improving your own best score. I’d highly recommend this game - for fun, and to improve your concentration/focus. ### 5/5 — Peggy-69 *2024-06-27* I really enjoyed playing this. Got to level 65. And started crashing after a played a few tiles. Even rebooted. Still crashed. So ended up deleting. Like I said really enjoyed this one. ### 3/5 — Ads *2024-03-28* There are to many ads while playing the game ### 2/5 — Great Game! *2024-02-16* Reason for the rating is because it’s very annoying playing this game after each level there are ads otherwise I really thought I found a game that I can enjoy but my goodness every time I win a level there goes an ad for another minute or less after each win that’s the only reason I gave it two stars. **Developer response:** Free games have ads - this is how we finance game development. You can buy the premium version - without ads. Search on the AppStore for "Venice Mystery Premium". ### 5/5 — A favorite, but… *2023-10-05* I love this game, but it’s very difficult to play on an iPhone; much better on iPad. I have played for many years (finally purchased Premium!) and I love the combination of puzzles for each location. I wish I could find more games like this one. **Developer response:** Thanks for your review. :) ### 5/5 — I love this game only I bought the premium version and I’m still getting ads! *2023-06-07* .. **Developer response:** May it be possible that you still start the free version (yellow icon) instead of the premium version (silver looking icon). ### 4/5 — More map play *2022-08-24, version 1.8.4* The map play is in my opinion the best part of the game. It’s been YEARS since you have made any kind of updates. ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2022-08-02, version 1.8.4* You will spend more time forced to watch ads than to play the game. Very boring as a result. No fun ### 1/5 — Very Unhappy *2022-07-18, version 1.8.4* This used to be my favorite game. I’m ok with the occasional ad but come on. What’s with an ad after every level. You guys need to do better. ### 5/5 — A favorite, but… *2022-03-08, version 1.8.4* I love this game, but it’s very difficult to play on an iPhone. ## Frequently asked questions about Mahjong Venice Mystery Puzzle ### What is Mahjong Venice Mystery Puzzle?
