*2025-01-20, version 1.1.4*

Im enjoying this game but I’m stuck because I can’t get the medical kit to pop up out of the inventory I have the parts that go on it but it won’t pop up so I can give the policeman a seditive. I’ve unloaded it and loaded it back up and I’ve restarted from the beginning of the game but it still won’t pop up. Everything else does. So please fix this problem

*2024-11-18, version 1.1.4*

Paid for the game as I had enjoyed it but found there is a bug that is stopping me opening the medical box. Please fix urgently or give me a refund.

### 1/5 — Do not buy this game

*2024-10-29, version 1.1.4*

I’ve been looking at reviews and it seems like this game has a glitch in it that hasn’t been fixed for over six months. I cannot get the medical kit to open like many other complaints listed here. I want my money back, please! The game is at a standstill and I paid good money to finish it. Please advise. We tried rebooting, playing the game from the beginning again, you name it. This is very frustrating. Please refund my money ASAP.

### 1/5 — First aid kit

*2024-10-25, version 1.1.4*

### 2/5 — Issue with plus items - BUT you knew that right?

*2024-10-16, version 1.1.4*

Please ask your development team to fix!! Or are they on strike?!?

### 1/5 — Problem with medikit

*2024-10-15, version 1.1.4*

I’ve reached the point where I need to open the medikit and it’s just not working. I’ve played all your games and this is the first time I’ve had a problem!

### 1/5 — Mystery tales: the other side

### 1/5 — Disappointed with glitch

*2024-10-01, version 1.1.4*

Never had a problem with games from this developer until now.  Game is unresponsive on iPad - specifically when trying to activate the “first aid kit” from tool inventory with (2) emblems.  I tried restarting and then reloading the game. Unfortunately happened after I paid to unlock the game after free intro.  Wasted $7.

### 1/5 — Mystery Tales The other side

*2024-09-16, version 1.1.4*

After unlocking and paying for full game, game gets stuck and medical kit won’t open . They say they are working on it but how long before a fix, who knows. Don’t buy!

### 1/5 — DO NOT BUY Great game but broken, won’t work

*2024-09-13, version 1.1.4*

The first aid kit in the police station won’t work, and I can’t continue the game without it. This is near the beginning of the game so I can’t play the game at all. This has been reported by multiple people for months and they won’t fix it.

### 1/5 — Glitch right away

*2024-08-26, version 1.1.4*

Just purchased the game and it glitched. One of the items I need to use with a plus sign won’t open so I am stuck! I can’t give the police officer his drink with the medication. Now what???

### 1/5 — Medicine chest bug

*2024-08-02, version 1.1.4*

Just purchased this game and encountered a bug with the medicine chest; it will not do anything when clicked. Unfortunately, I am stuck and can’t proceed. The Domini website links to a defunct help desk, so can’t report there. It’s too bad as I was really getting into the game and it’s been fun so far.

### 3/5 — Was enjoying game

*2024-07-25, version 1.1.4*

I was just getting into the game, paid for full version but….
It is stuck in the police station trying to calm PC down.  I can’t open the medicine box because I can’t get it out of the toolbar. Please help!

### 1/5 — Bug not fixed

*2026-04-27, version 1.1.5*

The medical kit bug is still here - another review noted it a year ago, and you replied you were working on a fix.  Apparently not working very hard 
I’d like my money back, but I’m sure you won’t refund it as you appear to be a scam.

### 1/5 — Bug still there after a year

*2026-03-04, version 1.1.5*

Just paid for this game and the first aid kit still can’t be opened (We hadn’t seen the reviews before buying). Refund please.

### 1/5 — Bug

*2025-08-07, version 1.1.5*

I just purchased the game and now I’m unable to click on the first aid kit to open it. Therefore, I can’t move on.

### 1/5 — Bug remains after more than 6 months

*2025-04-15, version 1.1.5*

Enjoying the game but can’t open the medicine box despite numerous attempts. I can see this was an issue back in November. I wouldn’t have purchased it if I’d known it hadn’t been fixed

Had to request a refund as the issue dating back to mid last year is still unresolved.

### 1/5 — It’s broken

*2025-01-03, version 1.1.4*

Once I’ve obtained the first aid kit, I’m unable to click on it to add the necessary items. I’ve restarted the game, no help. Can you please help? I’ve purchased the game and would love to be able to play. If it’s permanently broken, would you please refund my purchase?

### 1/5 — Glitch

*2024-12-26, version 1.1.4*

The First Aid Kit won’t open up to modify.

### 1/5 — Charlie

*2024-12-06, version 1.1.4*

Hi I was really enjoying the game, I’ve paid for it and have the same problem with the first aid kit. When you go to press on it, which should enlarge it so you can do something to open it, it does nothing, even though it has the plus sign….refund please or fix it..thanks

### 1/5 — Mystery tales the other side

*2024-11-26, version 1.1.4*

Can you tell my why I carnt get into the first aid kit don’t matter what I do it just won’t let me in so I would like a refund so I can play another game then come back to this when you have fixed it Very disappointing

### 1/5 — Mystery !!

*2024-11-24, version 1.1.4*

So, I paid £3.99 for hints, used my first one and the game has stuck in one of the police rooms!! ( pink game on the wall)  Not pleased as that’s not far into the game and I now can’t continue after paying!!!

### 1/5 — Early problems

*2024-11-08, version 1.1.4*

Problems started early. Couldn’t get the medical case to come up so I could put parts on it. Since I couldn’t do that, I couldn’t continue the game.

*2024-09-06, version 1.1.4*

Really started to enjoy this game , when I got to the point I had to try and open medical box to help security guard it just won’t let me😫 so now despite paying for this game I can’t proceed . I’ve uninstalled and re installed but same thing happens

### 5/5 — Fun Hidden Object Adventure Game

*2024-03-27, version 1.1.3*

If you used to play Big Fish Hidden Object Adventure Games, search through the Apple App Store for Big Fish Hidden Object Games and pick any of The Mystery Files games! You can download and pay one fee for game and play as many times as you want! Graphics are great and who doesn’t love a good Mystery to figure out! I give it 5 stars! It gives you extras if you get the Deluxe Edition! Love the developers of this game and all the others! Thanks Apple for giving us our Big Fish games! You will know when there is a morphing object, and collecting all the coins! You can reset and start over or complete the first part then the bonus chapter!

### 5/5 — The other side

*2023-02-09, version 1.1.3*

I have just started playing this game and so far it’s an awesome one.. I really like the Match play that you can play instead of trying to find all the objects.. I give 5 stars

### 5/5 — Great Game

### 5/5 — Excellent game!

*2020-06-09, version 1.0.9*

Much more than just another HO game, Other Side has great puzzles to solve at easy or hard levels and they can be quite challenging. I’m enjoying playing.

### 5/5 — Graphics terrific

*2020-04-29, version 1.0.9*

As always, these mystery games are fun to play, storyline a little hard to follow but that’s how they are designed. I customize so I don’t get bored. If I can’t customize a game, won’t buy it.
