### 3/5 — A good game with a few flaws

*2026-01-22, version 1.0.0*

I liked this game tho I had a few issues. The first being it takes a long time for the game to respond when I click on things so it took me forever to find the items needed When the detective needed to warm up. Second the map didn’t work sometimes and when I clicked on a place to go to on the map it instead put me in the same location I was already in then I could reopen the map until I shut down then reopened the game. Third when clicking on items in hidden object scenes most of the time it didn’t respond right away or at all so sometimes I had to click  on a item more then ten times just to get it, such as the candle in the mannequin hidden object scene.

### 2/5 — Hint covering next step!

*2021-11-06, version 1.0.0*

Great game but outside the City Police Station the next move is under the hint button and I can’t play on. Waste of money for me!

### 3/5 — Good plot, iffy controls

*2021-10-08, version 1.0.0*

Th biggest problem I have with this game is how hard it is to touch some items to get them. Most are ok but there have been several where it took tens of taps to get them. I tried exiting the area and the game itself.

### 4/5 — Just achieved 4 stars

*2019-08-12, version 1.0.0*

Was a bit boring in bits. Not bad but not one of my favourites.

### 3/5 — Working fine till Chapter 5

*2019-06-28, version 1.0.0*

Touch area for items have been a little off target the whole game. When you know this just touch a little of center of target. This worked until Chapter 5, in the Archway when trying to retrieve the Eagle. I can see it after completing task to make it visible but can not get it. No matter what i tried doesn't work. The hint button just circles it so no other action is needed to retrieve other than touch. Touching on Eagle Brings up the statement how run down the place was. Please help, cant advance in game.

### 3/5 — Mickey

*2019-06-21, version 1.0.0*

It's a shame I can't reload the next mystery tracker. That I purchased. So much for having the games for life. Big fish is a big rip off. Buyers be aware. So any games you purchased that were iOS under 9 you can't play the games that you previously purchased and big fish doesn't help you at all they blame it on iTunes. So when Apple updated you lost all your old games that you bought. Pfft

### 2/5 — Close to deleting this game

*2019-01-01, version 1.0.0*

This is a fantastic game with a good storyline and Elf is adorable. I play on my iPad. 

Unfortunately, there are MAJOR glitches. There are many things within the game that you’re supposed to pick up but can’t. Sometimes, you can finally finally pick it up if you sit there and click on it continuously for 5-10 minutes (NOT an exaggeration on the time)!  Needless to say, it’s not so much fun anymore. I’ve deleted it and reinstalled it a number of times with no luck. 

I’ve brought this up to BFG before but apparently, they haven’t done anything to fix it yet. 

Who do I talk to about this?

### 3/5 — A few glitches

*2018-12-14, version 1.0.0*

This is a good game. It is not way too easy, but not so difficult that I totally lose interest. The reason for not giving it high ratings are the glitches. It needs some work. It frequently freezes to the point I have to reboot to get it going again. Right now, I am on the bonus chapter and it is completely frozen. I have rebooted several times without success.

### 4/5 — I like these games

*2018-10-09, version 1.0.0*

I have a great time playing these games. I always look forward to the next one

### 3/5 — Alyzon

*2018-07-05, version 1.0.0*

This is okay, but I like more hidden objects in my hidden objects games.

### 2/5 — Wish I could rate higher

*2018-06-23, version 1.0.0*

Game was fun until I couldn’t pick up objects. Now I’m stuck on second to the last chapter because I can’t grab the eagle near the gates. Have tried multiple times but it won’t work. This is an older game that in forums have described the same problem 4 years ago. Bummer

### 2/5 — Help

*2018-06-10, version 1.0.0*

I’m at the arch scene and need to touch the helmet to get something. It’s were you first see the dog but you need to touch the helmet on the statute. My iPad version is not opening the statue helmet. What can I do.

### 2/5 — Offered for a third time at a sale price

*2018-03-08, version 1.0.0*

Funny, the detail page says that this is version one.  It isn't.  I played it last year!  The following is the review I wrote then, together with updated comments.  Last year I found no glitches.  This year I found several.  There have been MANY, TOO MANY, lousy games coming out lately.  This is a game with some defects but seems fun to play.  It's not perfect, with way too much back and forth, little logic to the moves, some confusing directions, times when you can't pick up items, etc. but it's far superior to other games coming out from BF lately. And I guess that statement is really sad!  It's on my "maybe" list "to buy."  Right now, the price isn't right.  This game has a nice map with some, but not all, auto transport.  The games are varied, which I like, but I found some boring.   Most are okay, and you can skip the boring,  or too confusing ones. The sound turns off correctly in the options, I always turn the sound off, so that's important to me. All in all, this game seems okay.  I might buy it when the price is right.

Okay, this is the third time it’s been on sale, and each time it's older, obviously.  You can’t customize this game, which is annoying.  I find that looking for warm clothing is just too gimmicky for me.  And I’m finding the game boring this time around. The puzzles are too easy, like having to arrange the numbers on a clock.  Really?  

Too dated for me.  I'll pass for the third time

### 4/5 — Game

*2018-01-03, version 1.0.0*

Fun game but way too many area changes!  It like go here then go there etc...

### 2/5 — Anybody else having trouble?

*2017-11-16, version 1.0.0*

Usually like these games but this does not respond to touch

### 2/5 — Very Disappointing....

*2017-09-03, version 1.0.0*

Really disappointed with this game. I've played quite a few hidden object games in my time and have to say this was the easiest I've ever done. Hidden object scenes were blatantly obvious, no fine for tapping too much so you can just tap the screen as I did on one scene and found them all in less than 20seconds!  I paid £6.99 and I was completely ripped off. The only way a star was redeemed was because of the dog...

### 3/5 — Good story

*2017-08-02, version 1.0.0*

This game has a good plot, but it was annoying because the sound turned off. I checked all my other apps and games, it's just this game that doesn't have any sound.

### 4/5 — 😄

*2016-09-12, version 1.0.0*

Love it!

C’était censé être en français bien non c’est en anglais

### 1/5 — Disgusting

*2023-09-20, version 1.0.0*

Having paid for this game I decided to play again recently only to find that it states no account found. So even though BG and EG got my money they are no longer honouring the agreement of pay once only and keep playing.

### 1/5 — Unplayable halfway through

*2023-06-21, version 1.0.0*

When you put the valve on the oxygen tank the game quits and becomes unloadable. Ipad.

### 1/5 — Freezes

*2020-12-16, version 1.0.0*

It is not at all sensitive to touching some items. I’ve had this problem with a few elephant games. This one got totally stuck and in spite of 100s of taps I could not retrieve the item. I had to delete and reload this game. Only time will tell if it happens again. I’m tired of paying $7 for games I cannot complete and if doesn’t solve the problem I won’t buy any more from elephant

### 1/5 — Mmmm

*2018-06-08, version 1.0.0*

Bought this game.."play it forever"....NO says no proof of purchase. Not just this game others too...Not happy.

### 1/5 — Can't unlock

*2018-03-08, version 1.0.0*

Too bad, looks like a good game.  Sale only today and it won't unlock

### 1/5 — En français svp!

*2018-02-03, version 1.0.0*

### 5/5 — amazing game !!

*2026-04-21, version 1.0.0*

i played this with my grandmother when i was little, i love the story and the aesthetics are SO cool

### 5/5 — Fantastic Game

*2019-01-15, version 1.0.0*

Finally another great game!  Crisp and clear HOS, great storyline and lots of fun puzzles.  Keep those Elephant games coming! I love the clarity of the story and always seem to adore Elephant Games.

### 5/5 — Mystery Trackers game.

*2018-12-01, version 1.0.0*

Very Awesome. Exciting and cool. Pristine.

### 5/5 — Best one

*2016-04-10, version 1.0.0*

My fav mystery tracker game so far and I've played quite a few. Great story line, spooky, good puzzles. I didn't have any trouble with the bonus chapter other than I couldn't 'teleport' via the map but that's no big deal. I loved it!

### 5/5 — Really captivating Game

*2016-01-10, version 1.0.0*

As I just finished the bonus, I felt I'd played an entire second game. Graphics are good, storyline was so so however it was complex and convoluted - what a really good experience should be. I would certainly recommend it's worth the $$.

### 5/5 — Loved it!

*2015-12-04, version 1.0.0*

Great game, no problems with any of the hidden objects (read others have had some problems). Puzzles hard enough to make me think but not too hard that I had to give up. Look forward to the next one 😉

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2015-09-29, version 1.0.0*

Brilliant game

### 5/5 — Such a great game

*2015-08-30, version 1.0.0*

Loved playing this one!!!!

### 5/5 — Love this game

*2015-07-15, version 1.0.0*

Lots of fun

### 5/5 — Very good addition to the series.

*2015-06-26, version 1.0.0*

My only problem was that the jump map stopped working properly in the bonus game, but scene transitions were quick and close together, so I didn't miss it too much. It would still show where there were things to do, but wouldn't take you there.
