I’m taking time to write this review while my game is frozen during one of its many many adds. There’s about a 25% chance an add won’t load correctly. Tonight I had just redeemed 30 minutes of play without using up energy. So that was wasted. If there’s tech support, I’ve never found it. Mystery Manor is the best puzzle game I’ve tried, but I’m ready to delete the app again. Maybe I’ll come back in another 3 years, see if it’s gotten more stable. ### 2/5 — Getting stale—I’m done *2026-08-15, version 7.180.0* I have played for a long time now, but the game is getting stale and stagnant. Like an earlier reviewer noted, there have been no new rooms opened in some time. Everything is centered around the holiday events. Also, the recent changes to the Sea King and Astral Detective games make them too difficult to complete. 10 levels for the Astral Detective game is way too many. I’m hoping for some changes soon, because I am losing interest in the game. UPDATE: I am done for now. The game is super repetitive and nothing new has been added. Even the events are getting too difficult to complete. For example, as the event nears the end of its time, it becomes increasingly impossible to finish tasks. You have to play a room 5 times in the same mode, which can actually take a lot of time. I can play the room 15 times and not get the mode I need. Also, there seems to be no point to having coins, because you can’t really purchase anything with the coins except for items for trading, which I don’t need, because you get those by playing the rooms. Finally, nothing new has been added. Rooms are still dark, the arena and pier say coming soon, and there is an icon on the bottom bar that also says coming in a future update. Those changes have been promised for several years now. There are other issues related to the stagnant nature of the game, but I will stop listing them. I am moving on to something else. ### 2/5 — Too Rigged *2026-07-31, version 7.170.0* Ridiculously short amount of time to find a very long list of items. Items are super tiny and sometimes the rooms are so “busy” that you can barely process what you’re seeing in time to find everything. I feel this is a ploy to make you watch endless ads to get just a couple extra seconds that still doesn’t give you enough time, and then the only option is to spend real $$. Not fun at all. ### 4/5 — Getting old *2026-07-26, version 7.170.0* So we have the fitness challenge event again for like the 7th year in a row - same room - same items - I am at a high level so have to find a lot of items every time - getting old - need new content - update to storylines As mentioned earlier by someone else - MrXs suitcase needs to just go ### 4/5 — Love it but *2026-07-03, version 7.160.0* I really love this game I’ve been playing for years!!!!!!!!!!!however I feel like I’m gonna delete it soon if we can’t open any new rooms. This is insane to have all these holiday themes but no new rooms. Also to spend sooooooo much money on diamonds and to still not get the items is crazy . For me to be playing for wayyyy over five years and all my rooms one the first leaves is still not open is Crazy! And another thing why do we keep getting keys to open Mr. X suitcase!!! It’s the same suitcase there isn’t anything new about it. Sorry but I’m bout to delete this is so disappointing because it’s really a good game but to continue to search the same rooms for YEARSSSS is Crazy ! ### 2/5 — Impossibly hard match three (update) *2026-06-30* Well I believe you should remove the match three completely because we are here for a mystery game and match three is pretty boring most people will agree (for a hidden objects game). If you want to replace it you can add merge games or just another room to explore. If it’s hard for you to remove it the least you can do is make it very easier cuz again we are here for the mystery not match three. For example grant more moves, add more boosters we can make, etc. another thing you can do is make it like the tarot cards game which people play voluntarily and get something in return instead of it being necessary to complete a quest. I really like the storyline and everything please solve this cuz this makes me lose interest and eventually stop playing the game. **Developer response:** Hello Trynnafindmaria, I apologize for your poor experience with our game. It's clear that the match-three aspect isn't resonating with you, and we appreciate your candid feedback.

What can we do to improve your experience? We're glad to hear you love the storyline, and we hope you can continue to enjoy the game. Your input helps us understand what players are looking for, and we’re grateful for your suggestions! ### 3/5 — Getting stale *2026-05-02, version 7.140.0* I have played for a long time now, but the game is getting stale and stagnant. Like an earlier reviewer noted, there have been no new rooms opened in some time. Everything is centered around the holiday events. Also, the recent changes to the Sea King and Astral Detective games make them too difficult to complete. 10 levels for the Astral Detective game is way too many. I’m hoping for some changes soon, because I am losing interest in the game. ### 2/5 — Match Three Events *2026-04-19, version 7.130.0* I have dropped more money, and have enjoyed the game. Now, you’re giving less turns to complete the Match Three Events. I’m so disappointed. Another money making scheme. Enough. ### 3/5 — New rooms *2026-04-15, version 7.130.0* I have been playing this game since probably the beginning. When can we get into the room under the Hunting room and beside the hall? When will we get a 3rd floor? ### 3/5 — Love it but *2026-02-06, version 7.110.0* I really love this game I’ve been playing for years however I feel like I’m gonna delete it soon if we can’t open any new rooms. This is insane to have all these holiday themes but no new rooms. ### 2/5 — ‘Could’ be awesome *2025-11-09, version 7.70.0* Energy only lasts about 10 Mins so can’t play a lot. Some of the items are far too hard to find. A shame as visually looks great, and sound and music really good , just not very playable! Annoying that I keep having to put the sound and music back on ( keeps turning off especially after having to watch an ad) and it shows adverts even if I decline to watch them for extra coins. I can’t be bothered with all these annoyances so uninstalling to look for something else ### 2/5 — ‘Could’ be awesome *2025-11-07, version 7.70.0* Energy only lasts about 10 Mins so can’t play a lot. Some of the items are far too hard to find. A shame as visually looks great, and sound and music really good , just not very playable! ### 4/5 — Sounds and effects disappear *2025-09-18, version 7.50.0* I love this game. The only problem I have is after the ads finish, the sound and effects go silent. I have to exit the game to retrieve it back ### 3/5 — Mystery manor *2025-09-17, version 7.50.0* I love this game and all the different challenges. There is a good mix of easy to hard challenges. The only things that deters me from playing is all the ads. I understand that when you click on watch to add more time that an ad pops up but they pop up throughout then game also. It is just to many ### 3/5 — Ridiculously Long Ads *2025-09-13, version 7.50.0* These Royal Kingdom and Royal Match ads are absolutely ridiculous. I have to watch a THREE minute advertisement for an additional 20 seconds of play?! What happened to the ads being 30 seconds long? And no, I don't plan on making purchases to have my play be ad-free. You just need to do better when allowing your advertisements. UPDATE: AND there are multiple ads that don't grant you any reward even after you have watched them for three minutes. You click continue over and over once the ad is complete and it only ever takes you back to the AppStore download screen. ### 4/5 — Bien *2025-08-27* J’ai bien ce jeu mais je suis bloqué depuis plusieurs mois avec match-3 niveau 214 … Je ne peux pas évoluer !!! Les autres scènes sont bien même si parfois les objets sont pas évidents à voir… **Developer response:** Bonjour Latortue21, merci beaucoup pour votre évaluation positive ! Nous sommes ravis d'apprendre que vous appréciez notre jeu. Le niveau 214 peut effectivement être un défi, mais nous sommes convaincus que vous trouverez des moyens de le surmonter. Merci encore de jouer et de partager votre expérience ! ### 4/5 — Stars *2025-08-03, version 7.40.0* I give it 4 stars with how much energy it takes on one scene other than that I’d give it 5 stars ### 3/5 — Side quests unavailable *2025-07-28, version 7.30.0* I updated my app but it still won’t let me play the fitness marathon. This happens off and on with other side quests as well ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Impossibly hard match three and more *2026-06-25* I love this game so much I’ve been playing it on and off for years. My biggest issue is the match three game. It does not have efficient power ups and it becomes impossibly hard to get through with all the challenges and less moves. Some level are so bad you can only complete them by spending loads of diamonds to keep buying moves, which leads me to the next issue - diamonds. It is so hard to get diamonds but to charge an artifact you need so much stuff which you cannot get them all by just playing the rooms so you need to spend diamonds. Basically too much demand but you hardly get any. I love the storyline and side quests and everything but these are my major problems which make me quit the game. **Developer response:** Hello Trynnafindmaria, I apologize for the poor experience you've had while playing our game. It's wonderful to hear that you’ve enjoyed it for years and appreciate the storyline and side quests! However, I understand that the match-three levels can be quite challenging, especially with the limited moves and power-ups. Your feedback about the difficulty and diamond availability is invaluable. What can we do to improve your experience? Thank you for sharing your thoughts, and we hope to enhance your enjoyment of the game! ### 1/5 — Entrometidos *2026-05-09, version 7.140.0* Acaban de enviar un mensaje diciendo que hice trampa, juego como quiera, y no los estoy perjudicando a ustedes, por el contrario he invertido dinero y eso es lo que a ustedes les interesa, ustedes me hicieron trampa hace años y no les envíe ninguna advertencia, entonces no molesten!!! ### 1/5 — Delete *2026-02-01, version 7.100.0* 0 ### 1/5 — Huh *2026-01-24, version 7.100.0* I’ve downloaded the game but it won’t open ???????? ### 1/5 — App glitchyness *2026-01-14, version 7.100.0* In game ads are ridiculously glitchy and way too long. The ads are so long that I switch to another device and play a different game while waiting for it to finish so they are completely ineffective at getting me to watch. And sometimes they completely stall causing me to have to log out of games which can mean losing time, progress and diamonds. Not cool at all. I am a long time player from the original Mystery Manor game. ### 1/5 — Meh *2026-01-11, version 7.100.0* Fun for a short time. Then they start getting greedy ### 1/5 — Frustrating - not fun *2025-12-20, version 7.90.0* Why do you have to play levels three and four times before you find what you find the item you’re looking for? You drain your energy so fast. The game is fun at first, then it’s just annoying. It has so much potential, but this isn’t it. I spend money on the game and this is still my experience. Levels are so hard you waste energy trying to pass them just find you have to play it again. This is predatory. Seriously, it’s disgusting. I see a lot of one star reviews recently. Contrary to your auto-response, it does not seem like you listen to your customers. There are so many other games I can play and have a much better experience. Spare me the bs response. I’ll be spending my money elsewhere. ### 1/5 — So confusing! *2025-11-14, version 7.70.0* when you were trying to find out the “cost“ it says find the price and then the little icon just keeps spinning and nothing happens. ### 1/5 — Very expensive *2025-06-28, version 7.20.0* It lures you in, but then it becomes impossible to win games without spending a lot or watching long ads. I finally deleted it. I should have deleted it earlier. Save your money. ### 1/5 — Not Progressing *2025-06-18, version 7.20.0* I played so much and had quests for rooms that I could not get the key for. Support was no help at all. Don’t waste your time on this game. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Mystery House *2026-06-20, version 7.160.0* Just can’t stop. Enjoyed it ### 5/5 — Fun time passer *2026-05-11, version 7.140.0* This is a very fun game to play while passing time. ### 5/5 — Great *2025-12-01, version 7.80.1* Fun ### 5/5 — Match ad makes me shut off the game *2025-10-01, version 7.50.0* I love this game but there’s a match game ad that keeps stalling and I have to close my game, restart and I lose my progress. ### 5/5 — Christmas Rooms *2024-12-08, version 6.390.0* I had the Christmas room for all of one day and it disappeared! What gives? ### 5/5 — ❤️ *2024-10-25, version 6.370.0* Good game. I like it! ### 5/5 — Sound *2024-05-20, version 6.310.0* It doesn’t work I am about to delete it I am getting frustrated ### 5/5 — Not too bad *2024-05-16, version 6.310.0* Minor hiccups with the sound at first but so far so good. ### 5/5 — what comes next *2024-05-15, version 6.310.0* I’ve playing the game over yrs and still enjoying it. l like the graphic, story is fun and joyful, also unlike others I like the rate of difficulty. the problem I faced with is, why there is no update for some particular rooms. one at level 1 and the last room at level 2. when they will appear and accessible ?! ### 5/5 — The game *2024-04-02, version 6.300.2* Amazing --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
