### 2/5 — Game play

*2026-08-25, version 1.208.0*

Sucks

### 4/5 — Fun

*2026-08-23, version 1.208.0*

Great time killer

### 4/5 — Wish the games and card decks were more attainable

*2026-08-22, version 1.208.0*

I have played this game for years. Love it. But I wish it was easier to win the extra games. I played a lot but had to take a break bc it seams not matter how much I play, I can’t get all the cards, or have less that 10 people split a 5,000 coin pot 😕

### 2/5 — Lame

*2026-08-21, version 1.208.0*

You can tell when you all are cheating us out of our plays or making us lose on purpose so we don’t get too many prizes

### 4/5 — Still the best game I’ve had in years.

*2026-08-20, version 1.208.0*

I just love how I can sometimes go hours and get addicted into playing this game. I love how you have a variety of different things to do! Not too mention it’s not like every other game that is loaded with ADS, they’re optional. Please don’t  make any major changes to this I’ve had it for years and still play when I have free time haha. 🫶

### 3/5 — ADS

*2026-08-16, version 1.208.0*

many ads with bug

### 3/5 — Frustrated

*2026-08-16, version 1.208.0*

Seems you can only win when you spend money.

### 3/5 — Super fun game!!

*2026-08-15, version 1.208.0*

It’s difficult.the mini games especially. Getting upgrades… sigh I li e the game but am leaving due to this.

### 3/5 — لعبة

*2026-08-14, version 1.208.0*

لعبة حلوه لتخفيف التوتر لكن اجعلو جميع مراحل سهلة للفوز او وفرو الكثير من الطلقات مع اختيار تخطي مراحل

### 3/5 — Too many side games

*2026-08-14, version 1.208.0*

I’ve played this for years, but it’s becoming so complicated with all the extra games, many of which you have to take part in for a short time at least, just to get to the main game. Settle down designers please

### 3/5 — Lost levels

*2026-08-14, version 1.208.0*

Been playing the game for about 7 years now. Was team leader and was on thousands of levels (maximum as far as I know) and after the latest updates, I lost my game. Was put back to the very beginning. Players in the MM group have tried to help me, and I’ve reached out to MM for support but have had no word back yet. So frustrating.

### 3/5 — Bug?

*2026-08-13, version 1.208.0*

The game is honestly highly addictive but my game will not let me close out of the “masterpiece showdown” pop up. I have tried reopening the app multiple times and clicking ever single button multiple times and it just won’t close. I can’t go back to the mansion or anything else. Overall the pop ups for the small events are also so ridiculously annoying. I love the mini challenges you can do alongside playing the game but the 7 pop ups after every game you finish are so annoying and some of them you can’t exit out of until you follow the dumb tutorial.

### 5/5 — MzRedd

*2026-08-12, version 1.208.0*

I love this game

### 3/5 — Options Limited

*2026-08-12, version 1.208.0*

The game is great, but for those of us who have been playing it, there are not enough options to use stars. I have over 900. The updates can’t keep up. Please allow me to use them for something other than decorating! The same is true with birdie tokens. I have over 80,000. They are worthless. The card games are fun, but the limit of 6 gifts a day are ridiculous for a team of 30 people. Let us honor requests independently as was allowed in the very first iteration. Also, no card pack should ever have two of the same card. That’s an easy programming fix.

### 2/5 — Decent game but not like ads

*2026-08-12, version 1.208.0*

Been playing this game for years but it is NOT like the photos. Would be more fun if it was and they didn’t lie to get you to play in the first place.

### 5/5 — اربيل

*2026-08-12, version 1.208.0*

لعبة رائعة ولكن لايوجد ارواح اضافية

### 2/5 — Love it

*2026-08-12, version 1.208.0*

I love this game I’ve been playing since I was 17 I’m now 26 my house is looking great no ads which I also love and it’s not like those games where the ads for it lie it’s really a match 3 game

### 4/5 — L’histoire

*2026-08-12, version 1.208.0*

Les écritures passe trop vite.merci de ralentir.Pic

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Be prepared to spend lots of money

*2026-08-14, version 1.208.0*

Once you’ve reached the higher levels, you could no longer pass for days on end without spending money and using extra lives to pass a level. When you notify customer service, their response is always exactly the same so good luck.

### 1/5 — Keeps Getting Worse

*2026-08-12, version 1.208.0*

Never any new collections added for blue bird tokens, same old tired collections for months at a time, mini games made so long that you could spend hours a day playing and not even get close to finishing. Levels are rigged with algorithms that force you to pay to pass, cringe worthy decoration choices, can’t buy anything with your tokens from the book, its just there to remind you of all the stuff you don’t have, annoying single star reward even when you pass difficult levels, no animations anymore except for lights, friend stickers take YEARS to collect enough to upgrade, everything just takes way too much time and effort with very little reward. This game sucks you dry. Has only gotten worse over the years. Developers don’t care or listen to feedback.

### 1/5 — Now allows continuous 1 minute ads

*2026-08-12, version 1.208.0*

The 1 minute ads are crazy. I understand ad space but ONE minute is mood killing and makes me shut the game off. Update: 1 star. The 1 min ads are even more frequent and unskippable.

### 1/5 — Events are in-winnable

*2026-08-12, version 1.208.0*

I actually pay for stuff on here and still can’t win most the events. Especially the stupid card collection and the matching mini game.

### 1/5 — It's won't download

*2026-08-10, version 1.207.0*

I decorated the living room and it won’t let me go past that. It just keeps saying download, but it never does.

### 1/5 — Too controlled by developers

*2026-08-03, version 1.207.0*

No matter your skill, developers control the game and levels. I understand the need for profit but they go overboard. To have to play a level for days isn’t fun or challenging. It’s just frustrating. They don’t seem to be concerned that so many players have the same issue.

### 1/5 — Terrible!!!!!!!!

*2026-08-01, version 1.207.0*

This game is soooooo wack it cheats

### 1/5 — Love it, hate it and ready to quit!

*2026-07-31, version 1.207.0*

I’ve been playing this game for years. I’ve passed more than 13k levels. But I rarely play anymore because so many of the challenges require bombs or certain colors to clear the things to pass the levels. Many times there’s no way to even get enough bombs to pass a level without paying.  I just played a level that has 4 chandelier boxes that you have to break open, hit 12 chandeliers and clear the board to let the chandeliers pass through, not to mention you have to clear things to get started and there aren’t that many moves. What a joke - even with the brown ball and several other bombs it wasn’t enough. I like a challenge, but sometimes it feels rigged to get you stuck on a level for a long time. I can’t stand it. I’d rather find a new game than be held hostage.

### 1/5 — Not fun

*2026-07-30, version 1.207.0*

This game used to be so much fun. With all the changes it has become frustrating and   No longer enjoyable. Not matter what you do it’s near impossible to win a level unless you pay for extra moves and even then chances are you will have to pay more.

### 1/5 — Don’t download this game

*2026-07-30, version 1.207.0*

I’ve played this game for 9 years now, and the support and game play policies continue to decline.  There are a bunch of glitches, and support passes the buck, and never helps. 

Waste of time!!!
