### 3/5 — Buggy on iOS 26.4.1

*2026-04-23, version 1.1*

If you bought this before you have to pay again to play it, neither restore functions work. 

The game itself is now buggy on current iOS 26.4.1, the cutscenes don’t play correctly although you can wait it out until the audio cuts out then the rest of the cutscene will play albeit w/o sound (not all, some scenes will auto skip ahead). As far as traversing the map & playing the puzzles there is no problems there, you can play all the way to the end. 

Lastly on start up tap under the continue to game tab to start the game not directly on the tab itself or it’ll never work.

*2025-10-18, version 1.1*

This game was my childhood and I have the iPhone 15 it’s been updated and it’s in very good condition and this game won’t even load I have done everything right. I waited the 10 minutes. I exited out of the game and reloaded it. I even went as for as restarted my phone and nothing. I really wish this game would work on my phone because I would love to play it again.

Thank you

Can’t get past the ‘continue to game’ main screen after purchasing!

### 1/5 — Can’t even load into game

*2023-09-08, version 1.1*

Can’t get passed the “continue to game” bug despite following the guide to fix it. This game is brilliant on steam, would have been great to play it on here too but i guess not

*2023-05-22, version 1.1*

Downloaded and was looking forward to playing on my ipad but it doesn’t work. Stuck on the Continue to Game’ screen and the fix G5 listed doesn’t work. Very disappointing. I expect better from the G5 games company.

### 1/5 — -1*

*2022-07-27, version 1.1*

Don’t bother down loading it.  I’ve tried their suggestion to get it to run. :( it still will not run.  I’ve tired turning off phone and turning back on.  It still will not run.

### 1/5 — I want my refund

*2022-07-23, version 1.1*

After payment was done to unlock the full game it kept kicking me out and now I’m not even able to play at all.

### 1/5 — Stuck on continue

*2022-06-30, version 1.1*

I did everything it said when you get stuck on continue and it did not work get it together

### 1/5 — How far G5 has fallen…

*2022-05-10, version 1.1*

I always preferred G5 hidden object games over the others but now, most of them aren’t even available due to not being updated and even if they’re available to download, they just won’t load past the G5 splash screen.

This is such a bummer because this particular series was always one of my favorites but as of now, it’s unplayable.
