### 3/5 — Fun at first

*2025-01-25, version 1.0.2*

I really started out enjoying the game but very early on I noticed that you have to touch randomly round an area of interest to activate it.  So in order to look closer at an area I had to touch around the area in a circle pattern to find the sweet spot.  Also, this is a relatively short game compared to most that I have played.  Not worth what is charged when you look at the length of other games that charge the same.  It was an interesting plot but it just wasn’t developed enough.

### 4/5 — After completed. No redos of puzzles or hogs?!

*2023-04-30, version 1.0.2*

So I did enjoy the game quite a bit.  Elf is used a little bit, but not constantly and your little device is used on each new scene… I did the main game and then I did the bonus chapter and then when I went into extras, I do not see anywhere where you can replay puzzles or hogs. I don’t really see why they didn’t include that like most of the other games to on here so for that reason, I’m taking away your star.  Half the fun is being able to replay a couple of the puzzles that you find really interesting during the games so I was very disappointed when I didn’t see them there to be replayed

### 2/5 — Very different

*2019-04-12, version 1.0.2*

This was a Very bizarre storyline for this series. Personally, I can’t say that I really enjoyed it. The game play was very short, hidden object scenes were somewhat interactive - but not very challenging. I felt the game started out like it was going to be good, but somehow the storyline and your goals seemed to get thrown together. Advice for fellow gamers- play the trial and make your own call on this one. Hopefully, the next one in this series will be more exciting. Would also like to see our pal “Elf”
have a bigger role. I did not experience in glitches - just slow response time in accumulating items.

### 3/5 — Wasn’t up to par

*2018-09-13, version 1.0.2*

Love the story and the graphics, but... had to use the hint button too much. Some of the games froze, you could not complete them. Not a good flow of what to do next.

### 3/5 — おもしろい

*2018-07-03, version 1.0.2*

日本語で遊んだのに、２回目から英語になるのは、どうしてでしょうか❓宣伝には何度でも遊べるは、嘘おばあちゃんの遊びを、取らないで

### 3/5 — Boring and glitchy

*2018-06-09, version 1.0.2*

Good puzzles, problem with taping on something. I had to tap all around the object I needed until it finally accepted it.
The story line ok, but didn’t play out well.  It wasn’t smooth.

### 3/5 — Too soon to tell but...

*2018-05-28, version 1.0.2*

Revision May 2018:
Good graphics, story, etc.  However - some of the objects (buttons, levers etc) you have to tap in the mini-games are unresponsive. Example lining up runes....Also tap pink crystals to form a circle....
Note- am playing on a brand new iPad Pro, iOS 11+ .. so the fault must be in the app itself, which I just re-installed.
Finally finished.  The Bonus game is a joke; about 15minutes long. Weak.

(Original review): Not sure why BFG asks for a rating so early into these games, except there will be less time to encounter a bug/glitch when a user reviews early).

### 4/5 — 面白かった

*2018-04-22, version 1.0.2*

何箇所かタップの反応悪くて、ヒント使うと取れるというアイテムがあったが、それ以外は問題なしストーリーも分かりやすくて良し。

### 3/5 — Blackrows

*2018-01-13, version 1.0.2*

For the most part I am enjoying the game. The game froze on me early on and I had to delete, reload it & start again. This time, it seems to be playing OK.

### 2/5 — Jogo muito caro e bem curto

*2017-08-26, version 1.0.2*

Ocupa muita memória

### 3/5 — Love the game!

*2017-06-15, version 1.0.2*

The only thing I didn't enjoy is the "witch." I wish the witch character in this game looked more like the witch in the original fairy tale. Other then that I did really like the game. I hope they continue to make more games because overall I like the twist they have on the fairly tales.

### 4/5 — Enjoyed

*2017-02-18, version 1.0.2*

Enjoyed ended a little sooner than I wanted it too

### 5/5 — Mystery Trackers:Blackrows

*2017-01-21, version 1.0.2*

I love the game. I never played this kind of games before and since i have I love them. But sometimes they do freeze on you so if you could fix this and some how make the games not two big in size.    Thank You Very Much.     Cookiemama16

### 1/5 — Disgusting

*2023-09-20, version 1.0.2*

Pay once and own game. No it isn’t I paid and now wanting to replay it states no account found. Not a bad way to get money for old rope.

### 1/5 — Unplayable

*2023-06-22, version 1.0.2*

As soon as I grab the coin with tweezers near the beginning of the game it quits to desktop never opening again.

### 1/5 — Don’t buy it.

*2019-09-16, version 1.0.2*

I would love to tell you if it is a good game but it won’t let me play the game. I can’t get pass where you have to enter the players name. That is the second game from Big Fish that has big flaws. In the other game it let’s me play til you have to unlock the game to continue to play and even though I already bought the game it tells me I haven’t. Other people have the same problem. So I have to give it only one star.

### 1/5 — Déçu

*2018-07-11, version 1.0.2*

Ce jeu es en anglais même s'il est annoncé en français.

### 1/5 — Bah....simo

*2018-06-06, version 1.0.2*

Bought this game and several others.."Play them forever pay only once" RUBBISH..it either says not purchased or it won't download 😠😤

### 1/5 — Dumb and dumber

*2017-10-03, version 1.0.2*

These same ole same ole games just keep getting darker and more and more boring and dumb as every year goes by.   BFG should take the hint to lighten up on their themes ....their themes are now all so spiritually dull, dark and boring now I quit their membership for all of  my PC gaming and only purchase the occasional time-management games they periodically offer for PC and iPad.

This game is no exception.

### 1/5 — Has a bug on iPad Pro 7/2017

*2017-07-20, version 1.0.2*

Has a bug. Does not let you continue past a certain point.

### 1/5 — Очередной обман

*2016-11-23, version 1.0.2*

Зачем писать что есть русский язык, если его нет

### 1/5 — Hallo Big Fish

*2016-07-01, version 1.0.2*

Habe eben das Spiel geladen...
Entgegen der Ankündigung ist das Spiel in englischer Sprache.... Finde ich nicht gut!!!
Habe schon viele Spiele von Euch, aber das geht gar nicht. Ich werde das Spiel wieder löschen... Bitte Geld, 6,99€ sind ja keine Kleinigkeit, zurück... Ich erwarte ein Feedback!
Ansonsten habt ihr mich als guten Kunden verloren.

### 1/5 — On in tomb on black row.

*2016-04-19, version 1.0.2*

Just paid to continue game. Made my way to when I ended up in the tomb. Started the puzzle with the dripping oil. And it froze. Can continue, can't X out. Nothing.

### 5/5 — Still great after almost 7 years!

*2022-01-13, version 1.0.2*

Since there are so few new hidden object mystery games being released, I’ve taken to replaying some old games. The Mystery Trackers series is still a lot of fun to play!

### 5/5 — BEST GAME EVER MADE IN THE WORLD!

*2021-09-03, version 1.0.2*

I downloaded this game thinking it’s horrible but when I played the game and the mini game I thought please make another one so hopefully there’s another Blackrows game!

This game fills the time, just great.

### 5/5 — Mystery trackers black crows

*2020-01-04, version 1.0.2*

The illustrations are the best ever & we love the Errie music

### 5/5 — Really fun!

*2018-07-24, version 1.0.2*

It has a lot of little tools you need to find, sometimes a bit repetitive, but still entertaining...good HOP's and the storyline is nicely gothic...

### 5/5 — Black rows

*2018-02-13, version 1.0.2*

Will give full review when finished the game so far so good
