### 2/5 — Bitte um Update

*2025-10-03, version 1.0.2*

Grad gekauft, schon hängt das Spiel. Komme bei der Schlüsselpaar - Suche nicht weiter. Schlüssel reagieren nicht, komme somit nicht weiter. Bitte um Update.

### 2/5 — Glitches at the last chapter

*2020-06-24, version 1.0.2*

The game was very simple but I did not change the player setting, properly my fault. Got almost to the end and the game glitch. Not wanting to start all over again.

### 4/5 — Fun game!

*2020-02-04, version 1.0.2*

I love Domini games, it’s like they never read the “handbook” for making a HOPA, so they are different in many ways from other developers. The mini games were stupid easy, although creative. I especially liked the hidden stars in clouds game at the beginning. This game was apparently made a while ago, before Domini started giving the option of easy or hard for the mini games. Still an entertaining game. The touchscreen mechanics were a bit off, sometimes had to tap more than once, which is annoying. I did not receive the achievement for finding 3 objects in 3 seconds, if that was for the hos, then it didn’t register correctly. If it meant just in gameplay, then that’s silly, the flow of the game determines how quickly items are found. I loved the little rabbits you collect, good and bad ones based loosely on the 7 deadly sins. Also kitties to find in every scene, which gives you a match 3 to play. There is also a quiz on the achievements page, don’t miss it, it’s not obvious. Overall a good game, but deducted a star for touchscreen mechanics and missing achievement.

### 2/5 — Poor

*2020-01-24, version 1.0.2*

Silly story and very juvenile speaking mode

### 2/5 — Glitchy

*2020-01-17, version 1.0.2*

Hints didnt work properly, not really worth the money for once. Normally domini works flawlessly

### 4/5 — Insgesamt hat‘s mit sehr gut gefallen

*2018-08-25, version 1.0.2*

Spiel ist jetzt auf Deutsch. Sehr gute Länge, auch das BK. Sehr viele, gute Minigames, ich mag sie nun mal; WBS auch durch Interaktion interessant. Sammelobjekte vorhanden. Allerdings ging es mir auch so, dass ich über den vielen Spielen u. Aufgaben das Ziel des Spieles fast vergaß. Karte und Tipp gut.

### 4/5 — Great game

*2018-08-25, version 1.0.2*

I rarely write reviews but I loved this game. Fast and just the right level of difficulty

### 3/5 — Grauzone! Von Anka

*2018-08-19, version 1.0.2*

Für 3,49€ im Angebot, aber nur sehr kurzer Gratisteil. Kann und will ich dann nicht kaufen. Ist deutschsprachig, man kann Katzen und Hunde? sammeln, scheint spannend, aber.....

### 4/5 — Lovely Artwork

*2018-03-17, version 1.0.2*

I enjoyed this game and the variety of styles of hidden object scenes and puzzles. I did however find it a bit frustrating at times when it took several taps to pick up items, especially in the bonus chapter. Lovely graphics and I really enjoyed the fantasy storyline.

### 4/5 — 🌠 Ideal choice for the novice players...🌝

*2017-04-26, version 1.0.2*

....and experienced ones as well, containing all the ingredients for success: customizable Settings, crisp & colourful wallpapers, and multiple Collectibles. A joy to play as you travel back & forth between two realities in this fast playing, relatively easy game from DOMINI. Includes 18 super original HOPs. EXTRAS is composed of miscellaneous trivia & Match3 game.

### 4/5 — A little too short and easy

*2016-01-16, version 1.0.2*

The game started with a lot of potential and its pretty good. It seemed too short. The free trail was very short. It would be nice to be able to go back and look for missing collectibles after finishing a game. The graphics were good and I like different types of HOPS.  Glad I got it on sale.

### 3/5 — Twilight

*2015-11-20, version 1.0.2*

This was an ok game but no way was it worth $11 Au, prices have become ridiculous it was clunky, there were problems going back a scene it was way to short I gave it three stars because I completed it.

### 3/5 — Rather Boring

*2015-11-05, version 1.0.2*

Good map with teleport.  Nice graphics. Boring games with "iffy" directions. Find the shape HO scenes.  Foolish "find the word in the sentence" HO scenes.  Locate the cats in the locations. Yawn. Complete the items with the plus sign, i.e. complete the puzzle. Do a little math.  That's it. Boring. Free game over in mere minutes.  Waste of time and money.  I SO miss the old BF, where the games were coming quickly, were great and yet, cheaper.  Churchill Downs has ruined a great gaming company.

### 3/5 — Nicht

*2015-10-28, version 1.0.2*

meins, habe mich regelrecht durch das Spiel gequält. Langweilig ohne Idee, da gibt es wirklich bessere. Drei gutgemeinte Sterne weil es problemlos lief

### 1/5 — Does not work well ... don’t buy

*2020-06-11, version 1.0.2*

Normally like their games ... this is a poorly programmed piece of trash.  Half the the time you touch the pieces and nothing happens.  Who ever developed this game should go back to coding school.

### 1/5 — Bleh

*2020-04-09, version 1.0.2*

Too old to run well on iPad. Herky jerky in many places. But even if new it’s marginally entertaining and badly paced. Later titles from this developer are better but this one stands out as particularly under done.

### 1/5 — Could not finish game due to errors

*2019-08-04, version 1.0.2*

I was loving this game.   Everything about it was brilliant.    Then I came to a stumbling block by being unable to find the train box.   As soon as I needed to use it I couldn't because I didn't have it.  The map wasn't showing any places with things to be done.   The hint wouldn't give any hints.   I restarted a few times but no joy.   I ended up going on the walkthrough and the place where it says the train box should be - back of the lorry - is totally locked off as I already picked up everything that was there and it automatically locked off like they all do when the items have been collected.  

I have tried and tried to get back into the back of the lorry but unable as the game itself has totally locked it 

Totally ripped me off!!!

I am really peed off about this I simply cannot go any further as I don't have the items needed. Even worse I paid full price for the game as I loved it so much playing the first half hour free play

### 1/5 — Won’t load

*2018-02-15, version 1.0.2*

All I get it that creepy, little goblin on the loading page.

### 1/5 — FLAW/bug in the game

*2017-03-18, version 1.0.2*

There is a flaw that doesn't let you continue or finish the game. I've tried twice and I've played these games for many years and seen everything.

### 1/5 — No.

*2016-01-14, version 1.0.2*

Short trial with uninspiring mini-games, eons of loading time between scenes (so don't accidentally move around), more eons waiting for your magic box to open, horrible dialogue and disturbingly rendered characters.

Especially the hotel manager's weirdly heaving bosoms. What the heck???

Will not be purchasing full version. Yech!!

Big Fish has had great games in the past. Recently, they've been pretty disappointing. What's going on???

I'll be replaying some of my "oldies but goodies" BF games instead.

### 1/5 — Beware!

*2015-11-06, version 1.0.2*

They will try to resell this game to you. Avoid them.

### 1/5 — Glitchy!!!

*2015-10-20, version 1.0.2*

This is not the first time that I have purchased a game and cannot complete it because of a glitch. Pay one and play forever my a***. Not at all happy.

### 1/5 — Faulty Game

*2015-10-16*

Game will not load. Hangs at the loading screen.

### 1/5 — It's not working !

*2015-10-10, version 1.0.2*

I'm so disappointed with Big fish games!! It's the 4th games tt doesn't unlock the games after I had paid !!
Twilight - Bloody Mary- Sable Maze- Repunzal!!
Pls explained n help me with this, or money back! 

 Regards

Very entertaining makes time pass quickly

### 5/5 — Love this game!

*2018-11-08, version 1.0.2*

Playing for the third time. It may be a little older but it holds up and still is a favorite.

### 5/5 — Fabulous game

*2018-11-02, version 1.0.2*

Great colourful graphics. Loved the difference between  the two worlds. Great collectibles. Good puzzles and HOS. This game is a real treat as I was getting fed up with all the dark graphics.

### 5/5 — One of the best

*2016-01-15, version 1.0.2*

This is quite a long game with lovely graphics, a great story, plenty of puzzles of varying difficulty and some very unusual interactive HOS with a good map, lots of Collectables and no glitches on iPad Air.  What more could you want?  Definitely buy it you won't be disappointed.

### 5/5 — Fantastic!

*2015-10-26, version 1.0.2*

Don't want to finish this one! Currently doing the bonus game,don't usually bother with them but this game was just too good. Great puzzles,great story and loved the music. Really enjoyed it start to finish. Ending was a little abrupt,my only fault. Thanks.

### 5/5 — Хорошая игрушка

*2015-10-18, version 1.0.2*

Неплохой сюжет, графика, интересный ход со сменой мира. В целом - очень неплохо.
