### 2/5 — Fix it!

*2025-05-20, version 1.1.0*

I can’t get further than putting the 2 ballerinas to lift the board up and then they just disappear! I want my money back or fix it!!!

### 2/5 — The adds

*2025-03-22, version 1.1.0*

This would be a great game if there weren’t so many adds. Other than that, the game is pretty good.

### 2/5 — Way too many ads

*2025-03-19*

Interesting game. However, the pop ads are too numerous. Stopped playing the game and deleted it. What a shame

### 2/5 — Stuck in game

*2025-01-24*

There is a part in the game where if your playing on the phone you can pull the piece forward only side to side for the metal circle puzzle where you have to put wooden pieces together to get the images no matter how many times I’ve clicked to move them forward it only goes side to side I want to finish the game but I’m stuck on this part but watching other people play on the laptop and you should be able to move them forward just not on your mobile device

**Developer response:** Hello! We’re working on fixing this issue and will release the update soon. We’re sorry for such inconvenience with this hidden object mystery game.

### 2/5 — Stuck

*2025-01-03, version 1.0.9*

I got half way through inn my iPad Pro and then a puzzle just wouldnt work the way it's supposed to. Circles that are supposed to be pulled together just won't pull. The whole game is useless now.

### 2/5 — Glitchy on iPad

*2024-02-10, version 1.0.7*

This game was ok but then hit a block with one of the puzzles which is just not working at it should on iPad. Walkthroughs show me what I’m meant to be able to but the game won’t let me. Now game in unplayable.

### 2/5 — Slider is not working

*2023-09-19, version 1.0.6*

I can’t get past the match 3 HOP , The slider doesn’t move .
I knew it was a bad idea to purchase games , 1 & done 🤦🏻‍♀️

### 1/5 — Broken puzzle blocks advancement.

*2023-06-08*

Near the end of the game, you go through the vanity mirror and have to put together a shovel and dig up a puzzle. The puzzle ring spins but you cant connect any images because the side arms with the other halfs of the pictures won’t extend.
Would have liked to complete the game.

**Developer response:** Hello! We fixed the issue in the new version of our hidden object adventure game. Please update the game to continue playing. We apologize for the inconvenience and hope that you will have fun!

### 1/5 — 2nd Strike

*2023-04-14*

I purchased this game and after getting so far into it, could not move forward in the game without purchasing the Deluxe version.  Then I got to Chapter 4 & after pushing the skip button for the gears game, was not able to grab the iron bar.  Now I am unable to use it to spring the trap to get the bolt cutters and cannot move forward in the game.  All of the scenes say there is nothing more to do.  This is the 2nd Domini game in a row that I purchased, but cannot finish.  I would like to be refunded!

**Developer response:** Hello! We’ve released a patch and the issue you’ve mentioned is now fixed. Please update your hidden object mystery game to the latest version and enjoy! Thank you for helping us improve.

### 2/5 — Another game with problems

*2023-03-24, version 1.0.5*

I have played many of your games over the years but have come across two games recently where I can’t go any further. This one, when I put two statues on the roller door they disappeared so I can’t go further. I love your games but wondering what is happening.

### 1/5 — Messed up

*2022-12-26*

I started playing the game and really liked it. But when I went to unlock it, it just wouldn’t do it and then gave me an error message about not being able to connect to the Apple server. I went to my Apps app and it was working just fine. No connection problem. Also, it looks like there was some attempt to put a price tag on unlocking the game, but the price was $22.8. Huh?

**Developer response:** Hello! We're very sorry you've encountered this issue while playing our hidden object mystery game! Please contact us at support@dominigames.com with your details. We'll do our best to resolve your issue. Thank you!

### 1/5 — Very glitchy and broken game

*2022-10-05*

I am unable to finish the game. I have played it 4 times, trying to get past the basement kitchen. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the game, to no avail. I always get stuck in the same spot. Many of the hints will point you to a place, where you cannot do anything. Or, you have already completed. I did contact support, they basically told me, they know about the Problems, there might be an update to fix it. But as of now there is no way to finish the game I Paid for. They also suggested I go ahead and ask Apple for a refund. Even they have no faith in the game. Save your time, effort, and money on this one.

After looking though the most recent reviews, apparently this has been a longtime on going problem.

### 1/5 — Clues

*2022-10-01, version 1.0.2*

Some of the clues are pretty difficult to find but I keep looking because I love this type of game

### 1/5 — Needs another update

*2022-09-26*

Need to update this game.  It’s very glitchy.  It won’t let me move forward due to some of the actions get lost.  Example:  Kate’s room - dancers disappear and the grill won’t go up since the girls disappear.  Also there is an annoying background noise that won’t go away.  It’s not part of the game.  I’ve restarted my iPad, deleted the app and reinstall and I still get the same issues.  I purchased the deluxe version.  Very frustrating.

### 1/5 — Glitches

*2022-09-22, version 1.0.2*

Never seen so many glitches in a Domini game before.
I’m now stuck in the kitchen, I’ve tried using the spell book to open the portal in the mirror but nothings happened.
I’m told that there’s nothing to do here or the previous screen.
I have a metal sponge, glue and a bolt.
Can you please help as I would like to finish the game ?

### 2/5 — Glitches

*2022-09-17, version 1.0.2*

Don’t work the glitches prevent you from moving on despite getting everything you need. Shame it was a good game when it worked. Waste of money disappointed!

### 1/5 — Frustrating

*2025-01-25, version 1.0.9*

### 1/5 — Some puzzles don’t work on iPad

*2024-07-04, version 1.0.8*

After having paid for this, was disappointed that I got to a point early on where I can’t proceed due to a puzzle not working correctly

### 1/5 — Disappointed ☹️

*2024-04-05*

After paying $7.99 for the Deluxe , I’ve now come across a puzzle that will not work as shown too  on you tube on my iPad Pro & now I’m stuck because unless I finish the game to get the nxt object I can’t do anything. So $ wasted !

### 1/5 — Too many ads

*2023-12-13, version 1.0.6*

Far too many adverts.  Even in the middle of a task

### 1/5 — I am stuck

*2023-08-19, version 1.0.6*

I have been asked to contact the game support but the email is incorrect and the website does not exist anymore. Please can you help me further

### 1/5 — Too many ads

*2023-08-02, version 1.0.6*

Has the looks of a really good game but the number and length of the insufferable ads make it to irritating to enjoy

### 5/5 — Ads

### 5/5 — It’s a mystery to me

*2022-02-06*

I really enjoyed this new series, it’s kinda like mystery tales which I loved. The storyline held my interest the whole time. Thank you again.

**Developer response:** Hello! Thank you for the review. We are very glad that you liked our new series.

### 5/5 — Great Game but…

*2022-01-26*

So far this game is fun. Usual good quality we are used to with this developer. The table of contents looks small. I am only on Chapter 2, so don’t know if the actual game play will be short or not. 😳. If future games have less content than we are used to, then hope price will be reduced. For far I have been willing to pay $7 per game.

**Developer response:** Hello! Thank you for helping us to make our hidden object game better! We will definitely take into account your request in the future. We wish you a good time!

### 5/5 — 🥰💫👌

*2022-01-23, version 1.0.1*

Fantastic it had everything I look for in a game!
Can’t wait for the next one 👍😘

### 5/5 — Amazing 👍🥳

*2022-01-19*

Absolutely love, love, this game and new series. I also, would like to thank you for putting these games out more quickly and not taking away the option to buy full version. Thank you for NOT  being greedy and all about the money and putting your customers first. So thank you again Domini and all those involved in making these decisions.

**Developer response:** Hello! Thank you for your feedback. We're glad that you like our game. 
With your support, we can make more breathtaking hidden object games in the future.

### 4/5 — Glitch

*2024-11-28, version 1.0.9*

I love all Domini games so it was disappointing not to be able to finish this game. The puzzle is the one after removing some dirt half way through. There is a circle in the middle and 2 semi circles either side that all contain shapes to be matched up. All of these elements only go around and not side to side so nothing can be matched up to complete a whole shape.

### 4/5 — Great games by this company

*2022-02-27, version 1.0.1*

But…….. the puzzles are often not described well at all and some are really hard to manipulate. This goes for all the games by this company that I’ve played.

### 4/5 — Mystical Riddles: Snowy Peak Hotel by LynxMinx

*2022-01-27, version 1.0.1*

In case some of you didn’t notice, this series is the replacement series for Mystery Tales. Instead of magical glasses you use a camera to reveal paranormal anomalies. The storyline was one we have seen in many Elephant games, so Oleg is a copycat! Think ghosts and Haunted Hotel, lol!
The game itself was decent. The storyline wasn’t innovative, but the characters were interesting. I enjoyed the HO scenes and most of the mini- games. There were slight touchscreen sensitivity issues, but still better than in many Domini games. Inventory usage was repetitive, for the most part. Fanning away smoke, digging, using gloves to move thorns, but there were a few new inventory items to use. We definitely need more innovation in this area! 
My biggest issue was that the collectibles indicator circles did not light up to inform us which collectible was to be found, causing me the inability to locate all collectibles and I was therefore unable to complete my darkroom. That is poor quality assurance and should have been detected! The game was on the brief side, inclusive of the bonus adventure.
My rating will remain at 4 stars. Had I been able to obtain all of the collectibles I probably would have added half a star!
UPDATE: There is a new game out called Tearstone-Thieves. I have never heard of the developer. Do not purchase this game! It is extremely expensive ($9.99) and very short. It also had poor quality assurance and did not allow access to the strategy guide for which you paid. The developer made excuses and I was extremely taken aback. I have requested a refund. I do not want you to make the same mistake I did!

### 3/5 — So far so good….

*2022-09-27*

So far I like the game. Love the puzzles. I am having difficulty with moving on to the next part of the game after getting the spell book out of the pantry. I use it at the mirror and nothing happens. I even restarted the game, same result. Any suggestions?

**Developer response:** Hello! We’ve released a patch and the issue you’ve mentioned is now fixed. Please update your hidden object mystery game to the latest version and enjoy! Thank you for helping us improve.
