### 2/5 — Glitches galore

*2025-04-14, version 1.0.0*

Paid full price for a game that has been broken for at least two years.

### 1/5 — This game is unplayable

*2023-10-13, version 1.0.0*

Would love to be able to play this game. It has huge technical problems. I want my money back. I feel I have been scammed by Big Fish. Don’t buy this game.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work on iPad

*2023-10-06, version 1.0.0*

Big white boxes all over the screen.makes it impossible to play. Have had to delete

### 1/5 — Not able to play

*2023-08-07, version 1.0.0*

Game is not working. Screens are not fully loaded so cannot understand what needs to be done.

### 1/5 — Пришлось удалить

*2023-07-24, version 1.0.0*

Все в квадратах и розовые глитчи. Не хочется играть

### 3/5 — white out areas

*2023-04-04, version 1.0.0*

There were several places on each location that were blocks of white, including some of the inventory.   Very hard to play parts of the scenes are blocked out.

### 1/5 — I bought it but it does t work.

*2023-01-23, version 1.0.0*

This seemed like a good game, until I tried to play it.  It has white triangles all over the screen, making it impossible to see much of anything.  When a game comes up it is impossible to play because of how much of the screen is covered with either white or pink, sometimes fading in and out.  Most of the scenes have a pink line across the bottom third of the screen.  Many of these obstructions pulse in and out, unpredictably.    This is a waste of time and money.  I want my money back!

### 1/5 — Developers please respond.

*2023-01-13, version 1.0.0*

I’ve already paid for this game but when I tried to re-download it, white rectangles cover the screen when I open it and the game won’t work. I have paid for every single one of your games you have put out but can only replay the most recent ones. I’ve heard the same thing from other iPhone users. Please fix this. None of these games are worth the money to play only once or twice.

### 1/5 — Nannyjan

*2023-01-10, version 1.0.0*

I just purchased this game for full cost of $10.99. Not happy that it is morphing. No good to me like that.

### 1/5 — Graphics are so distracting.

*2022-07-07, version 1.0.0*

I like playing hidden object games but I am struggling with this one because of the extraneous graphics that make the scenes hard to see and navigate. I’m relying on the hint button way too often which isn't fun and some of the games are hard to solve because the graphics make them hard to work. I would not recommend this game and would like a refund actually.

### 1/5 — J

*2022-05-30, version 1.0.0*

Too difficult to see objects.

### 1/5 — Broken graphics

*2022-05-03, version 1.0.0*

This is just one of the few games that I cannot play because the graphics are all messed up making it unplayable. There is a review from a year ago stating the same problem. How long does it take to fix this issue? I really want to play all of your games because they are so good. I am playing your games on an iPad mini 5.

### 2/5 — Schlechte Bildqualität

*2022-04-02, version 1.0.0*

Leider kann man das Spiel auf einem neueren IPhone nicht spielen 😕 was ich sehr schade finde 😔 zum Glück habe ich es noch nicht bezahlt 🙏

### 1/5 — Terrible graphics

*2022-03-30, version 1.0.0*

White boxes around items, pulsing hot pink light across the screen, pixels, just awful on iPad Pro.

### 1/5 — Love the story line

*2022-02-24, version 1.0.0*

But you can’t see anything the pixels are messed up

### 1/5 — Graphismes ratés

*2022-02-11, version 1.0.0*

Graphismes vraiment en dessous de tout
Quelle idée d’avoir voulu ajouter ces plaquettes qui gâchent le jeu

### 3/5 — Unhappy

*2022-02-05, version 1.0.0*

I don’t like all the glowing boxes floating around. It’s really bad on my eyes. I like the actual game but I don’t like the graphics.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2022-01-18, version 1.0.0*

Rey disappointed!  I paid full price, and it’s not working.  Everything is just floating in little glowing boxes.  
Refund, please!  I own over a hundred of these games.  Refund my money and I will buy something else.

### 1/5 — Not worth it

*2021-09-13, version 1.0.0*

For $6.99 I expect a game to not be buggy and the graphics able to be seen so I can actually play the puzzles and not have to skip the majority of them. Instead, besides cut scenes, I get highlighted boxes, blown out contrast on some items, and some items are thoroughly obscured by jumping and fading boxes and pixels. Poor quality for the price.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2026-03-28, version 1.0.0*

I downloaded the game to play, and I get triangles on screen.  How do you expect me to play when I can’t see the scene? I refuse to play the game when I can’t even see what is happening.

### 1/5 — Glitch

*2025-08-31, version 1.0.0*

There’s a glitch in this game where half the screen flashes on and off in bright pink. Very distracting and annoying. Deleting and reinstalling app does not fix.

### 1/5 — Simply awful

*2025-02-06, version 1.0.0*

Amazing that anything like this could  be released for purchase! I have played Big Fish Games for 25 years and been delighted with 98%. Even those 2% were far superior to this “thing”.

### 1/5 — Broken

*2024-08-07, version 1.0.0*

Unplayable due to weird boxes around a lot of items.

### 1/5 — Kann es leider nicht spielen

*2024-07-19, version 1.0.0*

Mein iPhone ist kein altes. Kann es leider nicht spielen weil es nicht richtig dargestellt wird 😢

### 1/5 — Can’t play, graphics a mess

*2024-04-23, version 1.0.0*

Picture is not clear.  Boxes all over the items to interact with. Images are just too jumbled to make playing worth it.

### 1/5 — Princess

*2024-02-22, version 1.0.0*

….is still not working.
I figured you might have fixed it by now, but the game is unplayable.

### 1/5 — The graphics are awful!

*2024-02-02, version 1.0.0*

There are a lot of square shapes that appear and disappear constantly all over the screen! This is very bothersome. And several tools that you collect along the game become invisible. You see only a white square!

### 1/5 — Boxes

*2024-01-03, version 1.0.0*

There are boxes around objects that move, some areas of the screen are massively over exposed and just a white haze. I’ve had a couple of games like this now.

### 1/5 — Rate

*2023-12-17, version 1.0.0*

These images are way too busy   I can’t figure out what to do unless using the hint button over and over.

*2022-10-30, version 1.0.0*

I hate squares on my game

### 5/5 — Great game

*2018-12-25, version 1.0.0*

Great game !

### 5/5 — Loved it

*2018-11-20, version 1.0.0*

Great games!  Thank you Elephant Games.

### 5/5 — Enjoyable Game

*2018-11-17, version 1.0.0*

Elephant Games & Big Fish team together for another great game. Good story which follows the others in this series well. I throughly enjoyed the game play. Challenging but not impossible puzzles and HOP’s. Worth the money.

### 5/5 — 🌟👍

*2018-11-07, version 1.0.0*

This is more the usual standard of elephant games . Loved it!!! 👏💋

Big fish why aren’t we getting any games at all? 😢

### 5/5 — Great Game

*2018-10-29, version 1.0.0*

Contrary to other reviews, I enjoyed this game. Kept me entertained to the end. Just have the bonus game to complete. Thanks to the developer

### 5/5 — Royal Detective

*2018-10-25, version 1.0.0*

Loving this so far, ELEPHANT does not disappoint! ( Except some of the puzzles were HARD!)😩

### 5/5 — Very good value game

*2018-10-25, version 1.0.0*

Great gameplay.

### 5/5 — Really enjoyed this game.

*2018-10-25, version 1.0.0*

I love these Elephant games, never any problems and smooth gameplay. Great mixture of puzzles, only skipped one which was making the patterns, a really good map which meant hardly needing the hint button and assorted hos. I loved my dog helper, wish it had been a bit longer because I was really enjoying it, worth £3.99.

### 5/5 — 👍👍👍💐💐💐

*2018-10-25, version 1.0.0*

Игра очень интересная! Бонусная глава отличная и длинная. Не пожалела что купила, сказка но очень понравилась.
