Missed it. I had given up on it because it was one step forward, three steps back, but that’s part of the game ### 5/5 — Excellent game *2021-04-22, version 1.0.2* Lots of fun, done very well, enjoyed very much. ### 5/5 — 3 Guardians *2021-04-11, version 1.0.2* Great game. Could do with a little more light in some areas...my eyesight is getting a bit old...I thoroughly enjoyed the games, puzzles and hidden object scenes. More, please! ### 5/5 — Great game *2021-02-19, version 1.0.2* I loved this game it was fun but not to hard to understand the games. I loved the hidden squirrels I like it when you have to find little things like that. I can’t wait until the next one. ### 4/5 — Pretty good *2021-01-06, version 1.0.2* Nothing to really recommend it but not much to dislike. I do wish the developers of these types of games would rely on the staff for whom English is the first language to write the rules of the mini games. They are often vague and obtuse. I’ve gotten used to skipping them which rankles. ### 5/5 — Gorgeous *2020-12-23, version 1.0.2* I really enjoy the scenes. The creative hops and the challenges. Beautiful game ### 5/5 — Three Guardians. *2020-11-30, version 1.0.2* Not often I write a review but this game has got me so involved that I couldn’t put it down. One of the best o es I’ve played , well done. ### 5/5 — Phenomenal game! *2020-08-28, version 1.0.2* I loved this game, I’ve been playing it on and off for over three weeks. The puzzles were fun and challenging, the storyline was great, and the graphics were truly gorgeous! ### 5/5 — Hours of fun, but thank goodness for the hints! *2020-08-19, version 1.0.2* This game has lots of fun twists and turns, but I find I really need the hints. I’m glad that they are numerous and recharge quickly! The graphics and sound effects are entertaining. I recommend this game ! ### 5/5 — 👍 🤠 👍 *2020-06-26, version 1.0.2* Great game, brilliant story, varied puzzles and HOPs, handy jump through map, good length of main game and bonus...best bit reduced price..paid £2.99..highly recommended. 🤗 ❄️ 🥂 😷 ### 4/5 — Interesting game *2020-02-23, version 1.0.2* I enjoyed playing this game. Some of the mini games were overly simple and a little tedious eg the dot to dots but overall it was an interesting story line and held my attention! Maybe the player could be involved a little more in the final scene but that wouldn’t stop me playing it again or recommending it to other people. ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2020-01-27, version 1.0.2* Good game enjoyed playing it ### 5/5 — Damo *2019-12-17, version 1.0.2* Love it but y is it free on play store but not App Store rip off ### 4/5 — Good story and fun game *2019-11-12, version 1.0.2* This was a nice, long, more laid back game. None of the puzzles were overly difficult, but fun nonetheless. My only complaint is the dot to dot puzzles were sort of lame. ### 5/5 — Excellent game *2019-08-24, version 1.0.2* Well worth buying, it’s a long game, with a good mixture of hos and other games, interesting and fun to play. Highly recommended. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Terrible *2021-11-03, version 1.0.2* I have played this game through twice and when I get to the end it just quits on me. It is a rip off! ### 1/5 — Won’t load *2020-05-02, version 1.0.2* I have just bought this game and now it won’t load this is the third game that’s done this so I won’t be buying big fish games again ### 1/5 — Something wrong *2019-03-27, version 1.0.2* I stacked in the game, no available action, but still have many place which undiscovered, please help! ### 1/5 — 1 star *2018-04-01, version 1.0.2* Played the trial version and loved it. I went to buy the game and now it won't let me on the game at all!! £7 wasted, I am not happy. ### 1/5 — Game not working *2015-07-11, version 1.0.0* After reinstalling the game four times I got it going again. However at the first hop in chapter one, the hint button has frozen again.The hint button will work before the hop and after it. I only paid £4.99 yesterday - refund please! ### 1/5 — avoid *2014-09-22, version 1.0.0* Avoid at all cost unless you are age 5. This is so easy it's bordering on insulting, i mean come on some of the puzzles are 'join the dots' and the dots are numbered hahahaha come on whats next? colour-in books? this is so straight forward that the only reason i finished it was because i had paid for it (I could also consider the money was robbed from me). Honestly i'm trying wonder if those people that write the positive reviews are on commission or something. This is definatley the last game ever that i am downloading from Big Fish ( cause something smells fishy with these guys). The game is boring, He-man has a better story line and writing your name backwards is probably harder than these puzzles. i really found it useful to play this game when i went to the loo as it really inspired me to take a sh¡t. ### 1/5 — Strategy guide *2014-07-19, version 1.0.0* When you pay $6.99 for a game, is it too much to ask that the strategy guide be IN the game? This trend is really turning me off of Big Fish. ### 2/5 — Too many glitches *2024-07-03, version 1.0.2* The good: nice length, pretty good story. The bad: so many connect the number puzzles that are too easy. All the numbers are right there. No complex puzzles. This play through I’ve encountered three game stopping glitches. Fortunately two were near the beginning but the last one was near the end so I couldn’t finish the game. ### 2/5 — Mystery of the Ancients: Les 3 Gardiens *2022-06-02, version 1.0.2* J’ai acheté le jeu et après avoir fait 7 endroits, j’étais bloquée. Je les ai contacté et on m’a répondu qu’ils n’avaient pas de compte à mon nom. J’ai supprimé et téléchargé à nouveau. J’ai fait 3 endroits et je suis bloquée. Je click sur « Déverrouiller » puis « Déjà acheté » et on me dit qu’ils n’ont pas de compte à mon nom. J’aime bien ce jeu mais c du vol. ### 2/5 — Don’t pay full price wait until it’s on sale *2019-11-19, version 1.0.2* Okay two issues first the kindergarten game connect 1-30 with your finger I felt utterly ridiculous what am I five yrs old so I skipped um all ,so stupid..next the stars/sky make the shapes nearly impossible to do so I skipped those games also. I don’t have the patience for nonsense. The hidden object games boring. Playing this game only cuz I played the game on sale I will not pay full price for any game as I may come across another turkey like this game. 🦃👎🏽 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 3 Guardians *2025-10-19, version 1.0.2* Fun. Not too difficult, of course the instructions are well thought out. I purchased over 3 years ago and accidentally deleted it. I finally found it again and reloaded it. ### 5/5 — Big fish *2025-10-14, version 1.0.2* I love it ### 5/5 — Awesome game great value *2023-07-01, version 1.0.2* Really enjoyable story with loads of different puzzles and for once you don’t get locked out from previous parts of the map so you can go back and get all collectables. Sets a great standard for others. ### 5/5 — Very good game *2023-04-16, version 1.0.2* This game has kept me interested ,the graphic are very good,only problem is the American words to some of the hop games. ### 5/5 — Good game *2023-01-08, version 1.0.2* Very enjoyable ### 5/5 — Love it! *2022-11-07, version 1.0.2* The best game I’ve played so far!!
