### 5/5 — Mystery Tales 12-F2P

*2025-11-12*

It’s been a long time since I found a hidden pictures game that I am enjoying and can do most the puzzles.  We senior citizens like games that relax us not stress us.  Great game!

### 5/5 — Bug

*2025-06-06*

The game has no sound

### 3/5 — Kein Ton

*2025-04-01, version 1.0.6*

Bisher ein nettes Spiel, aber leider ohne Ton. Ansonsten funktioniert der Ton bei allen Apps auf dem Handy (iphone 12), nur bei dem Spiel nicht.

### 1/5 — Not for me

*2024-12-13*

While this game has a good plot I didn’t enjoy it as much as the other games in the series

### 5/5 — super

*2024-11-05, version 1.0.5*

👍

### 2/5 — Was having fun till…….

*2022-11-24*

I was enjoying this game until it updated and when I went to continue my game was corrupted and deleted!
 What the….?

**Developer response:** Hello! We are very sorry that the game had an error after our latest update. Could you please delete and reinstall it, it should help you to play further in the game. We understand that you will lose all your progress, and how frustrating it must feel. We apologize for the inconvenience. Thank you for your review.

### 5/5 — U

*2022-08-28*

Good

**Developer response:** Hello! Thank you for your great words! We appreciate your support and will work harder on our simple hidden object mystery adventure games to please you.

### 1/5 — Скачивается и не запускается

*2022-08-18, version 1.0.3*

Чёрный экран

### 4/5 — Less glitches than most of their F2P, love the cat!

*2022-06-30*

I hope they keep the cat in future Mystery Tales, he was cute and snarky, but helpful. Usually I don’t like companion animals in these games because they’re overused, but not this one. He was used often enough to be part of the game but not so much that it felt like laziness to use him. 
I had a glitch in the puzzle where you rotate sticks around knobs to get a specific pattern. I needed 17 sticks but only 13 were available. When I used the walkthrough solution it worked, so I don’t know if sticks “multiply” if you do it in a certain way or what. Very weird.
Also, and this is with all Domini games. I hate, I mean HATE, the side bar pop ups that shoot halfway across the screen and hang there for an eternity, every time you find a collectible or get an achievement! STOP THAT PLEASE!! It seriously detracts from the story and the gameplay, and is so frustrating! 
Otherwise a very enjoyable game

**Developer response:** Hello! Thank you for sharing your opinion on our search and find game!  We always work on the optimization of our game, and your opinion is valuable for our team. We'll share your comments with our development team, and the developers will take them into account in the future. We wish you an enjoyable time!

### 5/5 — Fun

*2021-11-30*

Great game. Was able to finish the game and bonus chapter with no problems. The latest update must have fixed previous players issues. Thank you for another fun free game!

**Developer response:** Hello! Thank you for your great words! We appreciate your support and will work harder on our puzzle adventure games to please you.
