The first download was to my old laptop. Then, when I got this iPad 9 generation, I was thrilled I could download, and play it on this device. I thought it was safe forever.. until today. When CA updated it. Because of this game, zi even downloaded more Park Ranger ones. This still remained my favorite, through the years. now, this game was always a favorite of mine. A comfort, when things got too , we’ll, overwhelming. Today, they updated it. And now, I can’t play it anymore. The games crashes in the second level, every time, I start to play it. Losing this game now, well that’s a hard thing to take. I wish they hadn’t fiddled with it. I wish I hadn’t let them update this game. ### 5/5 — Interesting and challenging *2025-08-14, version 1.1.3* Really enjoying this game which has lots to do and different mini games and challenges. It really is different from other hidden object games ### 5/5 — Fun game *2025-01-02* Hidden object games are my absolute favorite type of game so I am glad to have found this one. I will definitely be buying more of these. ### 5/5 — Enjoyable, good soundtrack, great scenery, relaxing and fun! *2024-09-12* I have the entire Park Ranger series, and they are great fun to do. I like finding the wildlife— and picking up trash— something different! The scenery is pretty and the music is pleasant. I like that you don’t have to go to some website to figure out where to go or what to do next, which is annoying. But I’m also glad we don’t in real life turn our national parks into Disneyworlds! Understandable here, though, as with 16 games the originators have to come up with something new. I’d love to see a few more Park Ranger games—well worth the price—and I highly recommend! ### 5/5 — Enjoyable, good soundtrack, great scenery, relaxing and fun! *2024-09-08* I have the entire Park Ranger series, and they are great fun to do.

For $10 these should all work! D Campbell ### 5/5 — Puzzle *2024-01-29* I really love the challenges I love the Rangers and I also played the cruise ship I wish you guys please come up with some more I happen to find a Halloween one I wish you guys would come up with some more though these puzzles are very interesting thank you very much I’m gonna keep on playing ### 2/5 — Park ranger all games to short not worth the money *2023-10-16, version 1.1.3* Wasted my money game keeps freezing ## Frequently asked questions about Park Ranger ### What is this app about?
