### 1/5 — Glitch on Match 3 Levels

*2026-08-24, version 4.0.1*

I have been enjoying this game a lot. However, over the last two days there has been a glitch that keeps making me lose my bonuses. I will clear everything but one of the required items will still show that it has not cleared. Nothing I do makes that item clear because it is not present on the board. It also doesn’t drop down from above the board either. This has happened enough times now that it has become very frustrating. I usually have to start the level again to make it clear so I lose the extra bonuses I earned. Please fix this glitch.

### 1/5 — Lost features

*2026-08-22, version 4.0.1*

Wrote a review months ago raving about this game. However after the latest update, I’ve lost access to previous features. Used to be able to use stars upfront to skip through all tasks at once to start a new day. No longer have a storyline to earn/use power ups to solve mysteries. Main storyline seems pointless and very boring. As much as I’ve played to get through the days, I have yet to unlock new locations. Seems developers have gotten lazy or working on yet another app for us to buy into. Big disappointment.

### 5/5 — Fun filled mystery 🙂

*2026-08-18, version 4.0.1*

I enjoy the variety of puzzles in the game. It makes it interesting and fun.

### 3/5 — Boring storyline

*2026-08-14, version 4.0.1*

The recent storyline has been too boring! Plus, the daily gifts are frequently not boosters to help with passing levels! It’s hard enough to pass the levels then uses up too many points for ridiculous quests such as opening a safe or hanging a picture! I’m ready to delete this game! I already deleted Manor Matters because they suddenly stopped giving daily gifts plus again, the same issues as above!

### 5/5 — Good game and storyline!

*2026-08-12, version 4.0.1*

Enjoying this game

### 3/5 — Good but could be great

*2026-08-11, version 4.0.1*

I downloaded this game because I really enjoy. “matching games” This game also provided a puzzle and mystery element that appealed to me. I enjoy the gameplay and the story, and the overall “vibe” of the game. However, I must say that I am frustrated with the amount of “super hard” levels that I have been hit with. It seems every fifth or sixth level is “super hard”. I end up having to spend all my coins and/or specials just to beat the level. Additionally, acquiring specials, such as the rake or hammer is all but impossible unless you pay for them. These elements make what could potentially be a great, fun game into just a good game. I will probably hang with it for another month or two to see if things improve.

### 5/5 — Excellent game

*2026-08-08, version 4.0.0*

The game is great but recently the past couple of days the game keeps crashing. Think it needs an update.

### 4/5 — Great game but..

*2026-07-30, version 3.9.5*

It’s a great game, but it’s ALWAYS raining. I wish there was a way to turn it OFF. Not a fan with seeing it. I miss where it cycled between weather, and not just rain all the time.

### 1/5 — Always read “most recent reviews” first.

*2026-07-29, version 3.9.5*

I refuse to read or ‘agree to’ a privacy-violation policy of any type of app that should never need one in the first place. I saw after I deleted it that it would have accessed my location, contacts, and photos, among other things, and there’s absolutely no excuse for needing any of that. For a game?? Not a chance.

### 2/5 — Disappointed

*2026-07-25, version 3.9.5*

I love a mystery. And this is a really fun game, until the matching puzzle for earning points to continue the story becomes too difficult to complete. It often takes way too many attempts to gain only five or seven points per win. And when one task for the mystery takes 16-25 points to continue, it’s become burdensome to advance the storyline.  For me, the story is the fun part. I do like the puzzles, but when they become almost impossible to complete, it’s very frustrating.
