### 4/5 — Loved it!

*2016-04-29, version 1.0.0*

I loved it even more the second time I played it. The only thing that I didn't like is that it ended quickly.
I will definitely look for more elephant games.

### 5/5 — Top3!

*2016-04-27, version 1.0.0*

Something magical happens when BigFish and Elephant Games come together. The Madame Fate,Fate's Carnival and,now,Midnight Calling'Anabel' are the most diverse and interesting games I have played. Please never stop!!!

### 5/5 — Annabel

*2016-04-25, version 1.0.0*

Great game.....but very very short :(

### 5/5 — I WOULD GIVE THIS GAME 6 STARS IF I COULD!!!!!

*2016-04-25, version 1.0.0*

This is the perfect combination of story, games and hogs. They mix up the types games and hidden objects perfectly. It is also a bonus to have a logical progression to follow! If I could complain about anything it is that I was sad to see it come to an end so quickly.😪. Time flies  when you are having fun!

### 1/5 — No longer works on my system

*2016-04-27, version 1.0.0*

The game seemed wonderful. Was enjoying the tie-in's with the online game. Then it just black screens on boot. iPad 2 if that matters.

### 1/5 — Annabel

*2016-04-27, version 1.0.0*

The games started out all right then stopped on me blacked out was not able to get back in deleted it. Downloaded again, it stopped in the same place was unable to play.

### 1/5 — Games won't open

*2016-04-21, version 1.0.0*

Midnight Anabel as the 2 most recent games I downloaded, open for 1 second and then quits.  All my other Big Fish games (several hundred) have no issues at all, so I have to assume the problem is with games, otherwise none would open

### 2/5 — Looked fun but ...

*2016-06-10, version 1.0.0*

It looked fun but doesn't react to pressure when you touch an object . $6 is a lot to pay for just an okay game. Games are not explained well. Can't zoom in.

### 2/5 — Not the best

*2016-04-24, version 1.0.0*

Washed out.  Poor voice synchronization.  Short playtime = overpriced.   Glitches throughout game: one not able to pick up some morphed objects = annoying. Bird to feed for functionality is asinine. 

Interesting story line, but true potential lost in production, therefor 👎🏼👎🏼.  Do not waste money on purchasing this Hidden Object game, or any other Hidden Object game in general from Big Fish, because original owner(s) of BigFish sold business to someone where greed comes first, not customer service or producing/releasing a quality product.

### 3/5 — Too Short for the money

*2018-12-11, version 1.0.0*

This game was good but too short for the money even with the bonus content. By Letters to Nowhere instead.

### 3/5 — Too short

*2016-08-12, version 1.0.0*

It's not worth what I spent for it, I do really regret it...

### 4/5 — Too short for the price

*2021-03-07, version 1.0.0*

Good graphics and minigames but game was nothing special.  The bat companion was so adorable though!

### 4/5 — Nice game, not fabulous but no real glitches

*2016-05-01, version 1.0.0*

Fundamentals are pretty solid -- teleporting map, journal, tasks, voice overs, labeled inventory, logic, cutscenes, etc. are all there and there's even a bat helper in the first game and a bird helper in the bonus.  Storyline works. And yet...it just doesn't rank 5 stars.  Here's why:

No back button, and there are too many times if you want to inspect something in the bottom of the third of the scene, you go back a scene.  Too many "same as it ever was" solutions and not much new...it's the oil can for rusty lock, diamond ring for cutting glass, etc. 

On the upside, it's a nice storyline and there are quite a lot of variations in the minigames and HOPs.

A very healthy 4 stars, and worth the price...but just.

Hi and thanks to all the reviewers. xo

### 4/5 — Boring

*2016-04-30, version 1.0.0*

I didn't want to give it 3 stars because them game itself was fine. I just thought it was too easy, boring and typical of these games. Go into one room get a key, go to the room you just left, use the key, go to the next room...blah, blah. None of the mini games were new or exciting. It was 'just an ok game'. On a better note, game was beautiful, no glitches easy to use

### 5/5 — Big fish

*2023-08-25*

I love it I’m watching you

### 5/5 — Wonderful!

*2020-11-05, version 1.0.0*

Extremely enjoyable!
I just wish it could’ve lasted a little longer, though I am thankful for the bonus game and the secret room which I have not gotten to yet.
Please make a part two!
It isn’t too hard but it gets you to think.

### 5/5 — Loving this Game!

*2018-04-01, version 1.0.0*

I really like this type of game, and this one is very enjoyable!  I love the artwork, puzzles and unfolding of the story. I do rely heavily on the hints, (I'm a really old player) but they are clever and well done, and I expect next time I play it, I won't rely on them so much. ..and trust me, I will play it again!  😉
The story unfolds well, with sinister surprises, the puzzles are fun, and I LOVE my little companion - He's got personality! (won't say more, as I don't want to spoil the adventure for other players).

### 5/5 — Annabel

*2016-09-06, version 1.0.0*

Entertaining for a few hours. What more can you ask of a game?  No crashes or glitches.  Various puzzle levels for beginner or expert.

### 5/5 — Loved It

### 5/5 — Calling Anabel Hidden Object mystery

*2016-05-17, version 1.0.0*

This is one of the best games that I have played in a while.  The graphics were good and the color was excellent also.  No hang up.  Everything went smoothNo bugs. I do wish that it was a little longer.  However one can't have everything.   Lille to see more of these. Thanks  Grandma Betty54

### 5/5 — Midnight Calling: Anabel

*2016-04-29, version 1.0.0*

When Big Fish Games and Elephant Games get together, you know you're in for an AWESOME game! This game is no exception. Loved everything about the game. Nothing bad to say. Good graphics, good story -- good everything.

### 5/5 — one of my favorites

*2016-04-29, version 1.0.0*

I really loved this game. It even had a cute little bat to assist you get things out of reach. Recharged fast and no glitches. I think you will enjoy this game.

### 5/5 — Great game - engaging & rewarding

*2016-04-28, version 1.0.0*

Loads of fun. Not many problems with interfaces as in previous games. Definitely worth a play through.
