### 3/5 — Love the game but

*2024-01-26, version 1.1*

I love the game since little but never had the chance to buy to keep the series going but now that I had the opportunity it don’t let me even play it, it just stays on the loading page, I have waited 10mins including days and nothing…I would love to have anyone help me out

### 4/5 — Fun.

*2021-11-01, version 1.1*

Fun.

### 4/5 — Okay.

*2020-10-23, version 1.1*

It’s okay. I paid for the full game and it was amazing! The only issue was the ‘continue to game’ button. It got annoying at points, but it was worth the pay and the wait. I recommend this game to people who have patience. It was only about 7 dollars because it was the HD edition.

### 5/5 — Help

*2020-06-21, version 1.1*

So the way to Go to the menu screen isn't working for me and if it helps I have an iPad don't know what gen though

### 5/5 — Great for lockdown

*2020-05-09, version 1.1*

This is one of the games that I can’t put down, every time I play it I find something new

### 5/5 — 5g

*2020-05-02, version 1.1*

I love it

### 5/5 — Worth the buy!

*2020-04-26, version 1.1*

Great storyline. I enjoyed how much gameplay was involved, the puzzles were challenging and engaging, the hidden collectibles were a nice touch. Loved that there wasn’t a time limit to anything. Very happy to pay for further sequels.

### 4/5 — Great fun

*2020-04-05, version 1.1*

A great game with an engrossing story. Lots of variety in the tasks.

### 5/5 — Very fun

*2020-03-13, version 1.1*

Beautiful graphics. Fun and easy adventure game

### 3/5 — Great game, but......

*2020-03-08, version 1.1*

I like the game to be clear, but the reason that I gave this game a three star review is because you have to PAY to play/ get the rest of the game! This to me sounds really unfair to kids! But I still kinda like this game cause it is a game that you can interact with stuff ( if you catch my drift). So... it is not that bad but not that good... so I recommend you get this game but you have to pay for the rest of the game.

### 4/5 — A worthy game

*2019-11-12, version 1.1*

This third edition is as good as the other two, good value, excellent game play

### 3/5 — Nightmares from the deep 3

*2019-08-23, version 1.1*

Good game but no sound

### 5/5 — 🐠⚓️🐙🐳I'M SO FLIPPIN EXCITED!!!!🐳🐙⚓️🐠

*2019-08-10, version 1.1*

Where have you been G5???  It's been way too long since you've given us a new game, but I'm thrilled you stopped the wait with this one!!!  I absolutely loved the first 2 in this sequel and this one did not disappoint!  It's got everything!  3 different types of extra items to search for throughout the game, unique and challenging mini-games, 2 different types of hidden object scenes, great story line, amazing graphics, and good voice overs.  There's a hint and skip button available to help you out and a integrated map that can be used for travel.  There was not a built in players guide and I found I didn't need one but if you do you can access one on Big Fish Games walkthroughs online.  The main game and bonus chapter were both very long. I highly recommend buying this game!

### 5/5 — Love this game

*2019-04-30, version 1.1*

Love this game so much But I’m very disappointed that you didn’t update the others to support the new iOS

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2018-11-21, version 1.1*

Awesome game all around.

### 4/5 — Good game

*2018-11-13, version 1.1*

Excellent graphics and interesting mini-games, a bit expensive though

### 1/5 — Can’t play it

*2023-07-02, version 1.1*

When I downloaded this game it took me to a screen that says “Continue to game” only you can’t. When you push that button absolutely nothing happens. I guess for some reason you can’t play it on a tablet. Bummer. Edit: So I see the directions for the “online fix” except A)I’ve done it twice and nothing,  B) I’m on an iPad, I don't have a home key,  C) I “swiped upwards twice” and closed the game and when I reopened it, it went right back to the “continue to game” page and would go no further.

### 1/5 — Can’t even start the game

*2020-09-30, version 1.1*

Would rate 0 if possible! I can’t even get the game to start! 
Please fix this

### 1/5 — Won’t Start

*2020-06-04, version 1.1*

I also get to the opening page of ads and that is all she wrote.  Can’t get to the game.

### 1/5 — CANT GET PASSED CONTINUE GAME

*2020-02-24, version 1.1*

I have tried your suggestion to leave on the Continue Game screen for at least 10mins and then double tap on the home button, then swipe up to reset, but it doesn’t work.

The only reason the Continue Game button is there is to showcase your other games.
Either change to a showcase which works or just use a more games button and then this app would have worked.

Would leave a no star rating if it would allow. Begrudge having to leave 1 star.

I have deleted after messing about finding a solution for 30 mins.

My advice “don’t bother!”

### 1/5 — Can't resolve problem

*2017-11-04, version 1.1*

I liked this game well enough to buy it.  Can't open the bought game or this freebie even after following instructions here.  Also won't let me redownload the one I bought.  Says I have to pay and I have my Apple receipt showing I already paid.  Don't know how to resolve this.

### 1/5 — App won't Open

*2017-10-23, version 1.1*

The game was great and I want to play it again, but the app won't open. Please patch and fix.

### 1/5 — Fix doesn't work

*2017-08-17, version 1.1*

The fix listed did not work for me and I'm super bummed because generally I love the G5 hidden object adventure games!

### 1/5 — Not a sale after all

*2016-12-26, version 1.1*

Tried all day to download, just to have it not open in the "continue to game ". After FINALLY getting in it wanted to charge $6.99 when the site listed this at $1.99... Very disappointed, as I love this series. :/

### 1/5 — Won't open!

*2016-09-10, version 1.1*

It won't open!  ???

### 1/5 — Won't open

*2016-09-05, version 1.1*

I only gave this one star because I love the first two, however, when I open this game, it takes me straight to the ads and when I click on "continue to game," nothing happens. Glad I downloaded the free trial and didn't pay money just to not even be able to play it!

### 5/5 — Big fish

*2026-02-08, version 1.1*

I love it cutscenes are stuck but cutscenes unstuck and with no audio and music

### 5/5 — Love it

*2023-04-07, version 1.1*

I played this game awhile back and just recently found it, and I still love this game! I absolutely love the puzzles, though once I got stuck on the continue game screen I just refreshed it wasn’t a problem anymore.

### 5/5 — Phenomenal

*2023-01-21, version 1.1*

This is the best game in the series so far - one of the best of the genre, in fact. Less horror and more humor than most games, great puzzles between HOG scenes, and rich interactive scenery and sounds. It's like the ride at D-land! Most of the HOG scenes' objects make sense - it's not the typical set of items. Also, I usually skip cutscenes on replaying games, but so many in this game are just amazing. I love that the maps have teleportation, that I can go back and forth to various scenes at will, and control volumes of voices and music separate from the environment. Tiny rewarding details for those who zoom in - I loved the Shakespeare and Orwell references! Very minor requests for the next game: I wish the Skip loaded faster in Casual mode and that in the scenes with the dog he only barks when tapped after the cutscene.

### 5/5 — Please make more

*2022-06-13, version 1.1*

I really love these games and hope there is more to come! I love the story mode and all the different ways this game challenges my brain with its puzzles and short games. Please make more!

### 5/5 — Love

*2022-02-08, version 1.1*

### 5/5 — Love the game trying to play it again
