The storyline was good, it flowed well, maps worked well, graphics were terrific. It was a reasonable length. I had a little difficulty picking things up at times but not annoyingly so. Well done. ### 4/5 — Uneven Quality Control *2017-01-02, version 1.0.0* Plays quickly. Glad I only paid $4. Enjoyed the variety of HOs, and scenes. Overall quite fun. One annoying thing: Anytime you select a detail the game says "I can use something here" whether you can or not. Beware. ### 4/5 — Good game *2016-12-03, version 1.0.0* I play a lot of games, this is a pretty good one. Will probably buy it ### 5/5 — Stolen Awards HD *2016-10-07, version 1.0.0* Great game!!! Disappointed in the ending!!! I loved playing this game!!! ### 4/5 — Very good *2016-10-06, version 1.0.0* Interesting ### 5/5 — Just started great game!!! *2016-10-05, version 1.0.0* Only played the beginning and really liking this game. I used advanced just in case I need hints. The graphics are phenomenal. Story is great. The HOS are challenge worthy, but not too boring or overdone. A lot of games have near impossible HOS in them. This is a really great game for five bucks. I also like the live action sequences even though the lips didn't not sinc . Lol enjoy it ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Terrible Game *2018-01-29, version 1.0.0* I am a fan of most Big Fish games; however, I am extremely disappointed in this one. Very poor quality design & full of glitches. ### 1/5 — Unable to unlock *2018-01-29, version 1.0.0* Unable to unlock!!! ### 1/5 — Stolen moments! *2017-04-24, version 1.0.0* I really don't understand why this game is getting such great reviews. I wish I hadn't bought this one! As soon as I did, the quality went downhill. It's clunky and non-responsive, and I often have to touch on things several times to get them to work. ### 1/5 — Punished talents *2016-11-23, version 1.0.0* Music only, Black screen????? ### 2/5 — Short game *2018-01-30, version 1.0.0* Really quick to play, too few puzzles, don’t feel it’s worth the money I spent. ### 2/5 — Poor *2017-06-05, version 1.0.0* Not worth the money. Poor graphics, poor movement hints and I really dislike being slowed down in the HOP's by the system. Overall it's slow, not interesting. ### 2/5 — Disappointing *2016-10-15, version 1.0.0* WAY TOO SHORT FOR FULL PRICE GAME :( ### 3/5 — Disappointing *2022-04-14, version 1.0.0* My critic is no good but I wish developper will realize that they can make a better game next time. The first chapter was great, enough to ignore few small bugs and buy the game (selecting an object is sometimes difficult; the back button, the one at the right of the bar in the bottom, is not always working properly, the map is not showing always the right info, etc.). But I regret that buy: the puzzles are going lesser and lesser interesting and very predictive with the progression of the game like if the programmer got short of ideas of budget. By the way, I wish programmer will stop using so much non sense ideas like using any item from one object to use with another one that is way too big or small in comparison of the item. Also, using stupid solution like cutting a branch to get a small pendant or worse put gaz on wood and using a silex to start a fire (hoping no children will never try that) kill the sense of suspens that the first chapter has been created. ### 3/5 — Good but a few issues *2016-10-08, version 1.0.0* I liked the storyline, and I enjoyed the graphics. Transportation map & customized settings (15 seconds is the lowest number available) are a definite plus. Ok, so maybe I'm spoiled now, but I just don't like games without a transportation map; I won't even buy a game that only has the old style of map now. And it's a good thing, as the game tends to make the player go back & forth a lot, especially towards the end of the game. The HOS & mini games are easier to play, but not to the point of boring; and are still challenging enough to make you think. Even the length of the game is good - not too short, not too long. I haven't played the bonus chapter yet, because they asked for a review immediately after I finished the main game. Overall, it's a decent game; and a LOT less frustrating and/or "buggy" than quite a few of Big Fish's releases for the past 2-3 months. But I also have a couple gripes, too. First, the collectible cards are really hard to find in most of the scenes. The other collectible objects (like the shields, and a couple more) are the same. It gets to irritating for me, so I just gave up trying to find them. Oh, and even if you choose to mute the music, (which I do about 98% of the time.) it still plays tunes during the puzzle games. There's also the issue of having to touch something twice before you can see what it is, or to be able to into a different "room". I used both a stylus and my fingertip with the same result. The HOS are sensitive to touching too many places while searching. But how are we supposed to complete a game that's full of hidden objects •within• the hidden object game? You have got to touch around to find out which objects are hiding the object you're trying to find? (& if that paragraph made sense to you - I'm impressed, lol!!) ### 3/5 — Not bad, but... *2016-10-07, version 1.0.0* It crashed once when I tried to leave the first scene. When I reopened it, I had to start from the beginning. Grrrr. The first HO scene was "find the shape." I hate those, but I did it to proceed. The other HO scenes were mostly in words, which was fine, but they had extra steps, which made them more interesting. The game has a fair map. I used it once and it showed no place to do anything. That was less than helpful, so I used a hint. The hint system was good. The map and hint allow teleporting. Some of the puzzles were boring. Some had poorly written instructions. And some were fine. Overall, not a great game, but okay. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Lot of fun *2022-07-16, version 1.0.0* This was a lot of fun and very captivating to play ### 5/5 — Awesome game *2019-10-26, version 1.0.0* Graphics great, interesting storyline. Good game length and loads of hops. ### 5/5 — Game is top flight *2018-02-11, version 1.0.0* Loved it, great game play and expectations done in unique ways. Good puzzles and superior graphics though a bit short. ### 5/5 — Awesome storyline *2018-01-04, version 1.0.0* This was a really fun game, no having to pay extra for more time or jewels or pointless stuff like that! Great puzzles and mini games and seek and find! I love that it's an actual mystery game and that you actually are solving a mystery, without monsters and demons and all the stupid evil junk. It seemed like it was fairly short and I got through fairly quickly, but I still highly enjoyed this game and would definitely recommend to anyone who likes real mystery solving games! Please make more games like this! ### 5/5 — Fun Game *2017-02-28, version 1.0.0* This is a good one. Nice mix of hops and mini games. ### 5/5 — Great!! *2016-11-12* Great game. Great scenery and the puzzles are not too mind boggling. Love it. Will definitely play again in the future.

The map is helpful, the storyline solid, the graphics great, and a nice variety of scenes. ### 5/5 — QUALITY...QUALITY...QUALITY! *2016-10-07, version 1.0.0* I am sooo impressed with the talent behind Blam Games! Big Fish is lucky to have you. You have the most thoughtful and amazing minds creating fantastic and immersive work. Other hidden object game developers need to take notes. I would be forever happy if I could play a Blam game everyday. Keep up the great work! Wow. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
