Some I can’t stick with because they aren’t user friendly. This is not one of those. It’s challenging, interesting and great graphics. The mini games are explained briefly but with the information you need and a aren’t too small to read or navigate. The only reason for a four is how low the inventory is placed, which causes the game to pause sometimes instead of placing item. I very much enjoyed the game and hope there are more in the series! ### 4/5 — Black dagger *2023-07-20, version 1.0.0* Wasn't charged for initial game / then charged for game bonus??????? Games are slurry money but who, when, where, how, what, concerning how to buy game is concerning!!!!! ### 3/5 — Help link *2023-02-16* It seems when you hit the hint button, it directs you to the website. Not as helpful as their other games ### 2/5 — Trop court pour 10$ *2022-06-05, version 1.0.0* Vraiment trop court pour le prix ### 4/5 — Good game but short *2022-02-13, version 1.0.0* Good game with nice scenes etc. played on expert mode, still too short. ### 4/5 — Great game *2022-02-13, version 1.0.0* I liked everything about this game. Some things stood out above the rest like the graphics (excellent.) The only downside was the main game being a little short. Overall l’d give it a thumbs up 👍. ### 5/5 — Great game *2021-12-22, version 1.0.0* I love this game’s graphics, puzzles and storyline. I highly recommend it! ### 2/5 — Black dagger *2021-05-17, version 1.0.0* Good game but getting repetitive now all the games are virtually the same. ### 3/5 — Stuck in the Hall!!! *2021-02-21, version 1.0.0* I paid to unlock the game, but It is stuck wont go further! Has anyone else had this problem?? I do like the game if I can get to the hunting room!?! ### 5/5 — More game for adults *2021-02-19, version 1.0.0* About time a game was made for adult gamers. Greta game more difficult than the usual. Well done ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2021-02-13, version 1.0.0* Some really difficult tasks which made the game more challenging. Very good graphics. Really enjoyed this game well worth £2.99. ### 4/5 — Good but short *2021-02-09, version 1.0.0* Enjoyed this game but it ended way to soon. ### 5/5 — Key won’t work in hidden object game *2021-02-08* I should have read the reviews! This came is so unorganized that I can’t get the keys to work in the locks on a hidden object game. Poor planning on the part of the developers. Please check it before you buy it. Total waste of money!! ### 2/5 — Super short *2021-02-08, version 1.0.0* Played on expert and finished in a few hours. Don’t pay full price. ### 5/5 — Recommend it *2021-02-07, version 1.0.0* Nice game of decent length and mini games with a bit of a difference. No glitches either, even on my ancient iPad! Not sure I'd pay the full price but well worth the sale price of £2.99. Sone people would spend that on chocolate in a day (euk!) ### 2/5 — Rubbish *2021-02-06, version 1.0.0* I bought this game and was loving it when I got to the city archives I put the piece in the armour get the screwdriver and take the wheel then the game crashes and won’t go on not worth the money ### 5/5 — One of the best! *2021-01-20, version 1.0.0* Have played lots of Big Fish games and really enjoyed them all. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — One Dumb storyline *2024-05-11, version 1.0.0* I’m sorry I bought this game as the writers must’ve been on vacation that day because this was one dumb storyline. ### 1/5 — Won’t run *2022-05-26, version 1.0.0* iPad mini 4 with 11.3 iOS ### 1/5 — Can’t continue *2021-01-06, version 1.0.0* Every time I get the wheel in the library, as soon as I pick it up game shuts down. Can’t go any further. Very frustrating😡😡 ### 1/5 — Would not open *2020-09-25, version 1.0.0* The title screen would not open to play. Would acknowledge when pressed but that is all. Would have loved to play. Such a shame. ### 1/5 — Bugs, bugs and bugs. A week later, no reply from customer support. *2020-09-23, version 1.0.0* Doesn’t load the game to play ### 1/5 — Very short game *2020-02-06, version 1.0.0* Good puzzles but not worth the money. Over too quickly ### 1/5 — Shuts down *2019-10-15, version 1.0.0* It worked fine until I bought it. Now it shuts down abruptly can’t get a refund ### 1/5 — I played so you don’t have to... *2019-08-23, version 1.0.0* Haven’t played these games in a while so I thought I’d check this out. All in all very disappointed. The story is so disjointed there was no way of knowing what was going on or to whom the characters were referring. The final battle (or whatever the end boss was) was poorly conceived and I suspect rushed in development (once they have your money they probably weren’t expecting many to get so far). The cost was also high, I was expecting more. Best to avoid. It is not worth the time or money. ### 1/5 — The Hints Don’t Work Right *2019-07-29, version 1.0.0* It’s possible to get stuck. Also, you end up carrying too many items in the inventory to be seen without scrolling. Makes you listen to the characters talk and talk — you can’t always skip them ### 1/5 — What? *2019-04-28, version 1.0.0* So I paid but the game won’t let me play! How come, and what do I do now? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Mystery of the Dark King *2024-09-27, version 1.0.0* Been awhile since I’ve played any games. I certainly picked a good one to start back with. Good graphics and a decent story line. If I had to pick one fault it would be that the instructions for various and varied games were rather lacking in what to do. Other than that definitely a super game but still think the price is a bit to high. ### 5/5 — Surprised *2024-06-27* I tried this game a while ago and quit because I did not like the first scene. Then I went back and am playing it now. It is a really fun game. The puzzles make sense and are not the types that are too hard and that I have to skip. I’m only half way through but this game will become one of my favorites, if at the end, it allows one to go back to find the stuff we missed. ### 5/5 — Fun puzzles *2023-03-05, version 1.0.0* Fun puzzles not to easy ### 5/5 — Great game *2022-12-20, version 1.0.0* I’m enjoying the puzzles and I like the characters. ### 5/5 — Black dagger *2022-08-06, version 1.0.0* Just finished main game and have to say it is one of the best I have played. very interesting and different mini games only increased the enjoyment. More like this please ### 5/5 — Good game *2022-03-30, version 1.0.0* This game is one of the best of it’s kind. It’s more inventive than the other ones. ### 5/5 — Very challenging. *2022-03-01, version 1.0.0* But a lot of fun ### 5/5 — Great story and imagery *2022-02-20, version 1.0.0* I really enjoyed the storyline and imagery in the game. The storyline is fairly straightforward, but I was really enveloped in this one! ### 5/5 — Fun game *2022-02-18, version 1.0.0* I am enjoying this game so far, I do enjoy more hidden object scenes though! ### 5/5 — Great Game *2022-02-15, version 1.0.0* Give it a go --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
