Great Game still works in 2026!

Love this classic theme by Big Fish. Best news is it still is fully functional and displays properly in 2026. Other games run into visual issues or become unplayable. This one remains safe!

Good game just needs longer bonus chapter

I really liked the game and the puzzles were challenging but not too different. The only issue I have is that I think the Bonus chapter could have been a bit longer

San

This game has no rhyme. Unable to figure out that to do without hitting HINT constantly

Angry

I have always LOVED the Big Fish Mystery Case Files games…..several years ago, they were great. This one has a major glitch in Chapter 2: MainStreet…..the HOP at the guitar case! The rest music note is unobtainable ! I paid $7 for a game can’t go any further on.! It won’t give me the full HOP! I even uninstalled and reinstalled the game and started over from the beginning. Big Fish needs to go back to the way the adventure games USED TO BE! Original Ravenhurst, Madame Fate! Please make those available on iPad these new games are way too obtuse.

Don’t waste your money

The hidden objects puzzles are a little frustrating. Items to be found can be touch many times without responding and after selecting the hint button, then it will release it. Puzzles tend to be very dark which makes it difficult to see the hidden objects. I should have stopped at the free trial of this game.

No Guide

I thought I paid for the guide. But when I select it, it brings me to Big Fish Games, but there is no guide. Lots of guides for other games but not this one

Creepy and challenging

This is the second game of this series I’ve played. The HOPS are quite challenging right from the start. While I don’t quite buy the Queen of England angle (& hope in subsequent games this proves a long story arc that we keep learning more about), I do like the fact that the Master Detective character is gender-neutral.
The music is quite evocative of the game’s plot and setting.

Visuals too dark, hard to understand

I love these big fish games HOGs, but I find some of them hard to follow and understand. Also, when the scenes are visually too dark to make out the details, I don’t know where to click. With the good ones, it’s obvious what the next step is and if I’ve completed an area or scene through the storytelling, but this one feels like they were trying to let the player decide if they’re finished.. but for me, that doesn’t work. It’s good.. but not for me.

Mystery Case Files: Revenent

Would love to write a review. I used my Apple gift card and it took the money out of my account. Then I went to play, and it says there is no account found. This happened with all three games I just paid for. I will no longer by Big Fish games. Rip off!

Fun yet challenging

Great graphics, story, challenging yet fun! Not impossible wish there was a bonus but so much in game, not necessary

Couldn’t play

Downloaded and deleted 3 times. I’m playing on iPhone 12. The opening scene is displayed so large you can’t see or do anything.

I’m deleting it. Free trial better than full,game - either too easy or too buggy.

UPDATE January 2021: Replayed. Many of the mini-games don’t respond properly. very buggy this time around. I had to skip many in order to just move in with the game. The quality of the puzzles in this game instantly deteriorated once I got past the free trial.
Most of the mini-games/ puzzles have been on the level of a 5-year old child. Changing the difficulty level doesn’t make it any harder as the puzzles are ridiculously easy and simply irritating. Long, involved set-ups and then a 2-second solve.

I came to expect more of Eipix games but this is a deal-breaker for me.

Good game until the Bonus...

I’m giving this game a two star because it was fun to play. The mini games were entertaining, but not too hard.
Everything was good until the Bonus game. It was very short and the story line did not make any sense at all. It didn’t go along to the original game.
Another thing that I didn’t like was the Extras as part of the Collector’s Edition. There was pretty much nothing to do if you collected all the card, leaves, and the morphing objects. You didn’t see other things you usually saw with the Collector’s Edition.

Wow

This was a well made game. Hard puzzles. Collectables were not the same in each page. I really enjoyed it

Normally agree with you all.... but this game I absolutely hate......
unfortunately I bought it before playing it.... worst game I have ever played...couldn’t even give it half a star..... 😐but looks like I have to ......

One annoyance

I have only recently started playing hidden object game and I’ve done a fair few of them already and enjoyed them all....but (and it’s an annoying but), when doing some HOP’s there one fundamental flaw. When playing the ones developed in the US there are some items that are called something I’ve never heard of! For instance, a ‘clothespin’ is called a ‘clothes peg’ here so I have no clue what I’m looking for. There are many instances like that that I’ve come across and it’s annoying.
Other than that, great game and I’d recommend it to anyone.

Maybe I’m just not a fan of the series

I honestly couldn’t wait for it to be over.

Violence against women

I love Big Fish games, but have noticed more games that have violence against women. I get pretty uncomfortable during such scenes. Don’t get me wrong, I love blood, guts and some inherent violence with games, but just not when a woman is assaulted.....unless it’s by another woman:)

Good

Some stuff too small

Dull and no map

I don’t really play these for the plot & in this case it’s just as well!
I’m not impressed by the games either; they’re an unfortunate combination of difficult but uninteresting and the instructions are very poor.
