### 2/5 — Irritating

*2015-03-30, version 1.1*

Cute game...fun music, love the "spooky mansion" atmosphere...BUT it's super annoying that if you leave the game you can't pick up where you left off.  You have to start at the beginning of the level you were on.  And in the later levels where you have to complete multiple tasks to move on...it's really really frustrating.  Of you let your device go to sleep, be prepared to repeat steps!

### 4/5 — Very good, but...

*2015-02-01, version 1.1*

Great graphics, sound, concepts, and ideas. However, gets long in the tooth by the 10th level and missions become repetitive. A little more variety would have helped (different items that do different things). Also, the ending was too brief for the hours put in the game.

### 5/5 — Great game!

*2014-10-05, version 1.0.1*

Thank you for fixing the 'missing sprite' glitch - I thought I was just somehow missing the hiding spot.

### 4/5 — Great game, small but annoying bug

*2014-09-18, version 1.0*

I played level 13 about ten times over before reading the reviews and finding out the missing butter sprite is a bug others have run into. Small issue, but annoying for completionists. Please push an update soon!

### 3/5 — Luigi mansion on budget

*2014-09-04, version 1.0*

Pretty nice game I saw this on the recommended page on the App Store but with the low review regarding crashing/glitches I was put off.

Waited until it was 69p and thought hey if it has glitches no matter at that price. All the people who moan it doesn't work I don't know what they are playing in it must be iPhone 3GS or below, because on my 5c it runs fine no hick ups or problems at all.

The reason I can't give higher than 3 stars is the character models look too blocky and look like gaming graphics from the late 90's. The main ghosts need to be re-modelled. its a million miles away from the unreal engine.

### 3/5 — Worth 5 stars but...

*2014-08-31, version 1.0*

I would give five stars because playing the game is fun...until it crashes. I have played the same level over and over because keeps force stopping. Please fix this problem, I see in other reviews, I'm not the only one with this problem!

### 5/5 — Great Game

*2014-08-27, version 1.0*

My 5 year old boy and I enjoyed taking turns beating each level.

### 5/5 — One of the best out there

*2014-08-24, version 1.0*

My 7 year olds and I love this game. No crashing on our ipad. Love the graphics and story line.
Resetting and playing again because it's that good. When is the next PI adventure coming out!?

### 4/5 — Yeah

*2014-08-17, version 1.0*

It's funny that I can never remember the name of this game.  Anyways great point and click mystery game.  It runs well on my 4th gen iPad.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2014-08-12, version 1.0*

I usually don't spend money on games, but I liked the screenshots in the App Store so I thought I'd try it. I'm glad I did because I like almost everything about it! The visuals are beautiful/original and adds a creepy-ish vibe. The game is fun and there is a bit of a story which does leave a few loose ends toward the finish. The gameplay also gets slightly repetitive and I wish they'd switch up the levels and add something different to do or something. The sounds in the background can get kind of annoying, but at some points in the game there is a song thats played on a record player and it's actually really good. Other than these few points the game is great and I highly recommend it, it also supports Canadian developers which is ultra rad!!!!

### 5/5 — Fun puzzle game.

*2014-08-10, version 1.0*

Really clever and fun. Graphics could do with some improvement however.

### 5/5 — Really incredibly fun game!

*2014-08-10, version 1.0*

I've not had this much fun since "Tiny Thief" (another great accomplishment puzzle solving game). These are by far my favorite kind, making me use my smarts to figure out a problem. I found one bug, which R5 says will be fixed in the next update. A very nice response from them, very helpful. I wish this company all the best!

### 5/5 — Great Fun!

*2014-08-08, version 1.0*

This is a really nice change of pace.  Each level is just a bit different from the ones before, and you can replay any level you want. It is cute, engaging, and an absolute steal at 2 bucks. Haven't had any of the glitches other reviewers have had. I am only in Act II so have a ways to go  but am already hoping for a sequel.

### 5/5 — Very fun game

*2014-08-08, version 1.0*

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2014-08-04, version 1.0*

Another reviewer used the word 'charming'.  Very apt.  A good challenge that's fun and a great deal for the cost.

### 1/5 — Crashes! Can't even play it

*2014-08-07, version 1.0*

Trying to play it on an iPhone 4s and it exits after the intro. Have yet to be able to play, so not worth the money.

### 1/5 — Worst Paid App EVER

*2014-08-02, version 1.0*

Takes you through a long intro & then craps out!! I want my money back!!!

### 1/5 — Couldn't Even Get it Started!

*2014-07-31, version 1.0*

All it did was shut down before I could start playing. Buyer beware!

### 1/5 — Won't load

*2014-07-31, version 1.0*

It says ios5 or later, well it won't work on my iPad 2 running iOS 5 so what a waste of cash that was. Disappointed, looking like I will have to upgrade. Gutted as I don't like the look of 7 at all!!

### 1/5 — Doesn't Work

*2014-07-29, version 1.0*

I'd like to play this game but, it keeps shutting down after it prompts me to put my headphones on. It barely loads before it shuts off! Ack!

### 1/5 — Can't play, just crashes

*2014-07-29, version 1.0*

Ugh, I paid for this game because it looked really fun and interesting, but I can't get past the opening scene. When I hit play, it crashes every time! Please fix!

### 1/5 — Where's the game?

*2014-07-28, version 1.0*

Is there even a game there? Wretched thing crashes after intro. And, no, the intro isn't worth £1.49 so I suggest you spend your money elsewhere!!!

### 1/5 — Buggy

*2014-07-28, version 1.0*

I want to keep playing but the game keeps crashing. Way too buggy

### 1/5 — Crash happy

*2014-07-28, version 1.0*

I've played the first level 4 1/2 times. And then it crashes. Waste of money!

### 1/5 — Pretty upset

*2014-07-27, version 1.0*

Yeah, I'm pretty upset that I paid two bucks for this game (the fifty percent off sale), and now it just crashes when I try to play it. Please fix it. Its really annoying.

### 5/5 — Excellent! 😃👍🏾

*2016-01-04, version 1.2.1*

Different from the typical hidden object mystery, lots to do, lots to explore, lots of fun, and the graphics are great....my only complaint is that there aren't more episodes of this or similar games....I'd really like to see more from Rocket 5 if this is what they're capable of.

### 5/5 — Good game

*2016-01-01, version 1.2.1*

Good game

### 5/5 — New Apple TV

*2015-11-10, version 1.2*

Thanks for the port!!!

### 5/5 — GREAT!

*2015-11-03, version 1.1*

Very fun and addicting!

### 5/5 — Loved It!!

*2015-10-25, version 1.1*

This is a very fun and cool little puzzle/adventure game with a spooky theme. There's 20 levels and will take several hours to complete with replay value if you want to try to get all the achievements.

### 5/5 — Fun and good looking

*2015-09-03, version 1.1*

Nice quality title with fun graphics, simple gameplay yet interesting puzzles. Definitely a nice hidden gem.

### 5/5 — A wonderfully awesome game

*2015-06-16, version 1.1*

I LOVE this game... It's perfect for those that like puzzles combined with adventure style games. It's addictive so you can play thru it kinda quick. And there isn't any re-playability unless you somehow didn't finish every level. So I'm just hoping that new Chapters & updates are coming and SOON!!! Love the game guys, great job🙋🏻😘❤️👍🏻👍🏻  💋

### 5/5 — Wonderful game!

*2015-01-01, version 1.1*

Wonderfully charming, lot of fun! I was pleasantly surprised :)

### 5/5 — Smart, original, and fun!

*2014-12-31, version 1.1*

I love this game, it's addictive. BUT, there is still a bug at the end of level 17 that prevents moving on in the game. This bug was mentioned back in July. Why wasn't it fixed with the latest update?  I plan on replaying levels to find out every detail of the story but I'll be very disappointed if I can't finish. It's like reading a book with the last two chapters missing. Please fix this. It's still a great game but it would be perfection if I could finish it. Thank you.

### 5/5 — Great game, Awesome Animation!

*2014-10-11, version 1.0.1*

This game is a ton of fun, is funny, entertaining, and the animation is fantastic! Well done!!
