Game was a nice change from standard hidden object searches, but some items are TINY, ITSY BITSY. There are no hints on how to proceed. There is no way to skip puzzles, either. One puzzle, in particular, made no sense, zero, zilch. I found the “solution” online (a bunch of squares). The only other things I can write are negative comments, so I will stop. ### 2/5 — How Could You?! *2020-11-26, version 1.1.5* I played the original four growing up as a child, and when I found out about this one I was stoked! When I saw the game though, I wasn’t a fan of how different it was, the originals had a charm to it but THIS just looks like every other puzzle game. Once I got into the game, it played like the others which made me happy, so I kept playing and I was enjoying it, I liked the nod to Time Paradox with the Spartan helmet. I also liked how you referenced Lost King with some of the music. But once I got to level eleven, I was hit with the heartbreak of a FRICKIN SUBSCRIPTION! This game gave me nothing but a bad mood, I went into it with a bad mood, and I came out of it with a bad mood. If you’d get rid of that stupid subscription then maybe I’d continue, but I’m not paying for a game that many people say takes about two hours to complete. Another thing, the other Mortimer Beckett games are waaaay longer than that. ### 3/5 — Good game *2020-05-13, version 1.1.5* I really enjoyed the game but when it came to fixing the game it froze on me so I exited the game and restarted it and it still froze on me so uninstalling ### 2/5 — Difficult *2020-04-22, version 1.1.5* This game is difficult and not not enough direction on how to play. Love the graphics ### 4/5 — Mortimer Beckett *2020-01-11, version 1.0.6* Enjoyed the game. In challenge mode the timer was very quick, forcing me to play this over and over. The game was enjoyable and I went back to find other games I knew I owned-they have not been updated in a long time and if you ask about it they will just tell you they are working on new games. That’s a shame because Mortimer games were very good. The st,he of these games were different and enjoyable. I had refer it a walkthrough to help with the game. Not level had instructions , some things were impossible to find without help. ### 4/5 — Review *2019-09-01, version 1.0.6* Great game but over priced ### 5/5 — Mortimer Beckett & The Book Of Gold *2019-07-15, version 1.0.6* I uploaded this game this evening,I have just started playing the game tonight, am on level 4. I am enjoying the game, the only thing I don’t like is the timed Hidden object scene,I can’t move my hand that fast,I have Arthritis in my hand. This is the game you can play on the train/on the bus. ### 5/5 — Love the game *2019-03-21, version 1.0.6* Enjoy Mortimer games this one is liked but felt & it is short wished I wouldn’t waste $10 ### 5/5 — This game is great *2019-01-28, version 1.0.6* I really enjoyed playing.

I want my money back. ### 1/5 — Mortimer Beckett *2024-03-16, version 1.1.5* Is there any chance that the original Mortimer Beckett will be updated so we can play it? I really enjoyed playing them and this Book of Gold is a very poor imitation. ### 1/5 — Help *2022-01-17, version 1.1.5* How do I get pass the level with the key? I opened the curtain & pushed the buttons…nothing! Sadly, you can’t skip it. ### 1/5 — Mortimer Beckett *2020-12-30, version 1.1.5* Is there any chance that the original Mortimer Beckett will be updated so we can play it? I really enjoyed playing them and this Book of Gold is a very poor imitation. ### 1/5 — Gamehouse Connect *2020-04-21, version 1.1.5* The Gamehouse original stories connect is not working for me. It is stuck and I just updated the app. ### 1/5 — Mortimer becket the book of gold *2019-08-16, version 1.0.6* I can not begin to describe my disappointment about this game which had nothing to do with the previous Mortimer Becket games I feel as if I threw my money away What a joke and a very distasteful one at that The graphics are terrible The story line ( what story line a joke)ridiculous It reminds me of the games of 20 years ago Even a child would not like this game I waited years for the latest game and stupid me I bought it without reading the reviews Total let down nothing to do with the previous story lines I want my money back For shame Christina Zagoreou ### 1/5 — No fair! *2019-07-31, version 1.0.6* I was really enjoying this free game until it stopped and demanded payment to finish the game. I don’t mind paying for a game I like but I dislike being shanghied. ### 1/5 — Worst mortimer beckett game of them all 🙁👎🏻 *2019-01-01, version 1.0.6* We have as a whole family been huge fans of all of the Mortimer Beckett games and have played them over and over again. This game however I have only had for an hour and can’t proceed any further with out purchasing further levels, very disappointing ☹️ the graphics aren’t as good as the other games or as interesting. We are very sad as we have been waiting for the next game but sadly wasn’t worth the wait. The others however are amazing 👍🏻 ### 1/5 — Ridiculously hard!! *2018-12-07, version 1.0.6* This game is far too hard. You can’t even see any of the items to collect!! ### 1/5 — Gamehouse *2018-08-07, version 1.0.6* So horrible, I love the gamehouse games but this one was ridiculous and I just couldn’t get on with it and there wasn’t enough clues ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Loved it *2024-04-23, version 1.1.5* When are you going to make a Mortimer two ### 5/5 — Tom *2023-02-26, version 1.1.5* I like this game is awesome from Steve Rosario. ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2022-06-19* Hoping for more Mortimer in the future, fun story ### 5/5 — Love the game and the graphics but what’s next? *2022-03-13, version 1.1.5* Played the other Mortimer Beckett games a while ago and was happy to find this one that worked on my iPad. Different than all the other hidden object games out there. Great graphics and a fun storyline. Now going back to play the other MB games, nothings been updated to work with the current iOS systems. Will weever be able to play the older games again? ### 5/5 — 😡 *2020-07-21, version 1.1.5* i hate the locked levels ### 5/5 — Book of Gold *2020-04-28, version 1.1.5* I gave it a five because I have been playing for years. I like all, the only criticism is that when your looking for pieces why were they broke up like that? I did not like that other than that always fun. please stop doing the puzzles that I do hate. Everyone is doing that I like your stories not puzzles ### 5/5 — Make another one! *2020-02-15, version 1.0.18* Really loved playing this game. The story was great and it was so different to the rest of the gamehouse games. Please make a sequel ### 5/5 — Good Hidden Object Game *2020-01-15, version 1.0.6* If you’re a fan of the original Mortimer Beckett PC games, or hidden object games in general, you’ll love this game. ### 5/5 — Very good! *2019-09-20, version 1.0.6* Great ### 5/5 — I love this game *2019-09-05, version 1.0.6* Please make more game of Mortimer --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
