I also wasn’t a fan of the scanner as it seemed arbitrary and kind of a time waster. I play at a harder custom setting so I’m not judging this from stage one. Also the characters faces look like they had been transposed onto bodies. They didn’t fit an all had a dark line around the “face” circle. Bad programming or what I don’t know. Overall there are better hidden object games available through BigFish ### 3/5 — Interesting game *2019-03-26* This game is quite a bit of fun but I prefer games like this on my computer. ### 4/5 — Paxton Creek Avenger - OK but... *2019-03-25* Too much running back and forth; an interesting game but I’m not sure what the deal is with the people hiding??? I like the HOPs and morphings. The mini games, not so much. ### 4/5 — Great Casual Adventure Experience *2019-03-18* Love the game. Most Bigfish Adventures are fun. This one does not get you needing to backtrack over long distances <3 and the storyline caught my attention early on. Love it. Thank You! Haven’t noticed if achievements are available. Hope they are. Only issue I encountered was a need to hit skip mid story when one guy (after using bomb, to keep it vague) is talking if you select handcuffs during. If you don’t see handcuffs, don’t click anywhere. Lol. I don’t recall if I saw handcuffs, I saw an area of interest and just tapped as he spoke. He got quiet, caption disappeared and big handcuffs appeared, no interactions but skip would work. ### 3/5 — Eh..... *2019-03-18* Way to many objects to find. Morphing, photo pieces, statues, instruments. Seems easy enough to play as far as difficulty, not challenging. Story line run of the mill. All around a game to bide time with I guess. (2015) game so back then probably was A-Ok. ### 4/5 — Paxton Creek *2019-02-04, version 1.0.0* Enjoying the game. I did run into a glitch with the tracker device first time. It froze on the screen. I had to close down the game & restart and second try it worked. ### 3/5 — Okay, but short *2018-08-17* I like Elf, and found the game cute, but quite short. I also have gotten used to games that allow you to go back to collect things you miss, and this one does not allow that. I enjoyed the archives, taking a trip down memory lane by doing some puzzles from previous Mystery Trackers games. ### 4/5 — My last episode *2018-02-24, version 1.0.0* It was good, but very predictable, with a lot of make work projects. Some of the artwork was gorgeous. The games were fun, the HOPs could be difficult to see what you needed to find. I will mess Elf. ### 4/5 — Paxton creek *2018-02-15, version 1.0.0* I found it quite interesting and enjoyed it ### 4/5 — Enjoyed it *2017-02-14* I have always liked the Mystery Trackers games. There were a few of the games that made no sense to me at all though. ### 4/5 — Mystery Trackers *2017-02-12* I enjoy the Mystery Trackers series. I'm looking for something not too challenging yet entertaining while I'm also keeping an eye on the TV. I haven't gotten too far into this game, but love the premise - the kidnapping, how to get the victim back, the villain - and, of course, Elf. I'll have to see as the game progresses how interesting it actually is. ### 4/5 — 😁 Smooth, 😍 Entertaining, 😜 Imaginative *2016-10-18, version 1.0.0* Though brief, ELEPHANT brings it home with an intriguing story line, excellent graphics, collectibles, morphing objects, rapid Map travel, 16 outstanding HOPs (classic, silhouette, reverse, matching, morphing, riddle, etc.), neatly wrapped around a trouble-free playing experience. Regrettably, there is no Extra gameplay; ergo the brevity which caused the less than perfect score. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — I SHOULD HAVE READ THE REVIEWS - don't buy this!!! *2021-03-08, version 1.0.0* It crashes as soon as you buy the rest of the game. Absolute scam ### 1/5 — Just a con *2020-06-01, version 1.0.0* Bought this and just will not download,wish I had read the other reviews.cannot get my refund and when I finally got an email address was fobbed off with a code which still does not appear on my account. APple should stop using big fish games this is the third time this happened. DO not buy big fish games ### 1/5 — Will not open *2020-03-22, version 1.0.0* Once I paid for the unlock the game will not open on my iPad, apple have refused to refund! Do not buy this game!!! ### 1/5 — Scam? *2020-03-15, version 1.0.0* The game played well and after paying to unlock the game it won’t load anymore it keeps shutting down, have I being scammed? ### 1/5 — Mystery trackers. Paxon creek avenue *2020-03-14, version 1.0.0* It was all going so well until I paid to unlock and then game crashed. Tried to re open numerous times and just got black screen. This is not the first time with these games that this has happen. Getting nowhere with support or refund. RIP off! ### 1/5 — This is not a very smooth game. *2017-03-13* Had to move to menu when the game would get stuck. Example in theater I had the wrench in my inventory and tried several times to use the wrench on the floor near the seat and it would not let me until I kind of refreshed it by going to menu page. Why would I buy this when it does even work on a simple task. ### 1/5 — So dumb *2016-08-08* Repetitive, predictable. Def wish I didn't waste my money. Even if it only cost $1.99 - $2.99 like the big fish games used to cost, it still wouldn't have been worth it. ### 2/5 — Bugs *2019-05-09* There were issues with several of the mini games not working. I would do what it wanted/said and nothing would happen or it would tell me I was wrong when I clearly wasn’t. This happened with multiple games: the wire number/addition game, the very last game, a couple of the games around the motion sensor, etc. It was annoying every time it happened. ### 2/5 — AGAIN!! *2019-03-24, version 1.0.0* This is the 3rd game I've paid for and it won't load!!!!!!! Refund please!!!!! ### 2/5 — Mystery trackers *2017-06-25, version 1.0.0* I've already paid for this, saying no purchase ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great fun *2020-10-10* I love Elephant games. I’m only just into the game and so far it’s living up to the purchase price. ### 5/5 — Game *2020-03-08* Awesome!! ### 5/5 — Love this series *2019-03-19* I eagerly await MysteryTrackers. I’m a sucker for Elf and the toad. Wish they’d give them more to do like in a few of the games. These games are consistently entertaining and I’m having a great time. Some of the games I just play because Big Fish released them and pretty much just wait for them to be over. Not Mystery Trackers. ### 5/5 — Good game *2016-09-24, version 1.0.0* Good game and HOS were interesting. Graphics seemed dull, puzzles were interesting. ### 5/5 — 재미짐 *2016-09-08* 간만에 재밌었는데 너무 비싸서 결제를 선뜻 못하겠어요 ### 4/5 — Decent game *2020-04-03* Above average game. Interesting story and great artwork. Puzzles are not too easy. The game is worth the money. ### 4/5 — One of the better games! *2020-03-15* I am impressed by the creativity of this game. The designers did a great job. 1) a storyline that flows well 2) much to do in the way of hidden objects and mini games 3) Elf is extremely useful in this game... he did things I hadn't thought he could do at first 4) well-reasoned answers to problems that need to be solved - a lot of fun in challenge mode 5) the collectables are both hilarious and adorable 6) a lot of morphing objects to find, but I never learned how many there were or how well I did in finding them all - I guess I missed the mark because I didn't receive the biggest morph achievement - but again, I did play on challenge mode 7) music was actually a bit different from most games - fun to listen to in several scenes - I usually turn the music off, but left it on with this game My only cons are that some of the mini games were repetitive and too simple and that the bonus chapter involved spirit hunting - at least there were no evil symbols to deal with Bonus chapters are rarely the best part of a game, this one included All in all, a well-thought out game. Highly recommend the main portion! ### 4/5 — Not long enough *2020-03-15* I’m glad I didn’t pay full price, it was a very short game. But very fun! Good challenges! ### 4/5 — Math *2019-10-18* 14 15 16 Top line 5 2 1 8 Mid. 6. 4. 8. 18 Bot. 3. 9. 7. 19 This combination is also correct. Just not the answer you wanted ### 4/5 — V *2019-04-10, version 1.0.0* Bravo pour l’intrigue --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
