After completing my favorite series (Lost Lands) I’ve been trying to find something that compares. I enjoyed the story, and the puzzles were challenging without driving me insane. I’m not as fully invested as I was with LL yet, but I look forward to exploring the rest of the Domini games catalog ### 2/5 — Irgendwann *2025-06-01* Kommt man immer an so ein dämliches drei vor fünf zurück Rätsel. Genau da kann man dann kein 3gewinnt spielen. Außerdem werden einige Objekte verdeckt bsp durch das Inventar wenn es fest angebunden ist. Muss da auch kein Geld für in die Hand nehmen. **Developer response:** Hallo! Vielen Dank, dass Sie uns Ihre Meinung zu unserem Abenteuer-Rätsel Spiel mitteilen! Wir arbeiten ständig an der Optimierung unserer Rätselspiele, und Ihre Meinung ist für unser Team sehr wertvoll. Wir werden Ihre Kommentare an unser Entwicklungsteam weiterleiten, und sie werden sie in Zukunft berücksichtigen. ### 2/5 — Gutes Spiel mit technischen Problemen *2025-01-07* Gutes Spiel. Leider jedoch immer Absturz am Ende des Hauptspiels. Daher ist das gekaufte Bonuskapitel nicht spielbar. Sehr ärgerlich! **Developer response:** Hallo! Vielen Dank, dass Sie uns auf dieses Problem aufmerksam gemacht haben. Unser Entwicklungsteam arbeitet derzeit an der Behebung des Problems. Das Update wird bald veröffentlicht. Ihr Komfort beim Spielen unserer Abenteuerspiele ist uns sehr wichtig! ### 2/5 — Vorzeitiges Aus *2024-08-12* Kaum habe ich Münzen gekauft gibt es ein Problem. Ich habe das Ritual gestört. Jetzt sagt der Tipp an jedem Ort „hier gibt es derzeit nichts zu tun“. Schade ums Geld. Bis dahin hat es mir gut gefallen. **Developer response:** Hallo, könnten Sie uns bitte mehr über Ihr Problem mit unserem Wimmelbildspiel erzählen? Bitte setzen Sie sich mit uns unter support@dominigames.com in Verbindung. Vielen Dank! ### 4/5 — ボーナス章 *2024-07-11* 本編終了しとても楽しかったのでボーナス章を購入しました。 他の方も書いていますがつるの上の花をタップして消すミニゲームでバグが起こり進めません。 青い花の一番右端のはタップできなくなっています。 せっかく購入したのに開始早々できなくなるのは納得できないです。 購入はキャンセルできないですよね？ **Developer response:** Hello! Thank you for your review. We are sorry that you encountered this issue while playing our hidden object adventure game. Please share it with our specialists at support.dominigames.com and try to include as much detail as possible. We appreciate your help in making our mystery puzzle quest better. ### 2/5 — Good game terrible design choice *2024-05-14, version 1.1.2* I enjoyed this game until the very end, for whatever reason you can back out of the final “boss battle” puzzle but then there is no way to re-engage the puzzle! So hooray played till the end but I can’t beat b/c of a massive developer oversight on a supposed “remaster”. Good game otherwise but be extra careful otherwise no ending which is super lame! ### 3/5 — Ошибки в сценарии *2024-03-04* Хорошая игра, красивая. Но к сожалению есть ошибки в коде, которые не дают пройти локацию и двигаться дальше соответсвенно. Удалось дойти лишь до середины, очень жаль, что не удалось закончить игру(( **Developer response:** Здравствуйте! Нам очень жаль, что вы столкнулись с этой ситуацией, играя в нашу головоломку. Напишите, пожалуйста в службу поддержки support.dominigames.com, опишите затруднение как можно подробнее и приложите скриншот. Наши специалисты сделают все возможное, чтобы помочь вам. ### 3/5 — Lots of puzzles *2024-02-02, version 1.1.2* The interface is buggy. Key in the bonus round needs adjusting to unlock door but the touch doesn’t correspond to buttons. I had to press to the right of the controls to adjust the key. Voices in bonus cut scene are too soft. Also, as much as I like the game, I am knocking off a star because your game said bonus was 2.99 but when I went to pay, it was 3.99. I also tried setting up account with developer but that didn’t change the price and I wasn’t given the promised 15 coins. Other than these, I would give the game 5 stars. Update: I got my bonus coins credited on the next game I played from this developer. ### 3/5 — Lots of puzzles *2024-01-29* The interface is buggy.

Bitte teilen Sie es unseren Spezialisten unter support.dominigames.com mit und versuchen Sie, so viele Details wie möglich anzugeben.

Gelöscht. (Kann schon nachvollziehen, dass man damit Geld verdienen will) **Developer response:** Hello! We are sorry that you encountered this issue while playing our hidden object story game. If you hadn't already deleted it, our experts at support@dominigames.com would have helped to sort it out for you! We hope you will find another game in our collection that you will like! Thanks for the feedback! ### 4/5 — Coins/gems not carried over *2023-09-09, version 1.1.2* I logged in and didn’t receive the 15 coins and my 70+ coins and like 16 gems sent showing either. Can you please correct this issue? I love playing your games and rarely have a problem, 😁 ### 4/5 — ボーナス章でのバグ *2023-08-03* ツタの花をタップして取り除くミニゲームで青の1番右の花がリセットボタンと説明ボタンに被ってタップできません。10コイン払ってスキップするしかない状態です。 UIの位置が適切でないように思えます。 **Developer response:** Hello! We appreciate your feedback and will keep working hard on our hidden object games! You can contact us at support@dominigames.com if you have any issues. We will be happy to help. ### 3/5 — Проблема с предметами из инвентаря *2023-07-26* Под конец игры для починки моста использовала молоток из инвентаря и он просто пропал. В итоге игру никак не перезагрузить и не завершить. Сделали бы перезапуск по главам например - было бы возможно решить эту проблему. Расстроилась из-за такого нелепого бага **Developer response:** Здравствуйте! Мы хотим помочь вам и подробнее разобрать ваш вопрос. Пожалуйста, напишите нам письмо на support@dominigames.com. Мы постараемся решить вашу ситуацию в нашей игре головоломке как можно быстрее. ### 3/5 — Enjoyable but hard to see hidden item menu *2023-02-20, version 1.1.2* This has a good story line but the item menu is hard to use as it is is exactly in the same place where we click to move backward. The hidden items menu are also an issue as they are very faint and the menu boxes closes while searching for hidden items ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — バグで進めない *2026-06-18* 赤いローブの絡まり、取れているのに反応せず進めない。コイン30枚ためたけど、スキップも出来ない。ゲームを消すしかなく悲しかった。 ### 1/5 — Won’t even open up on my iPad :( *2026-01-30, version 1.1.7* I just downloaded it and it won’t open. It just stops and shows me my home screen. ### 1/5 — Enttäuscht… *2025-07-20* Direkt nach dem runterladen des Spiels kann man spielen. Aber schließt man das Spiel um z.b Pause zu machen, kann man es nicht mehr spielen. Es bleibt immer im Anfangsbildschirm hängen. Trotz mehrmaligem löschen und neu installieren. Beim 2.Teil ist es leider genauso… ### 1/5 — アプリが落ちる *2024-11-27* 儀式を終了するをクリアしたのにそこでアプリ落ちて何度やっても進まない **Developer response:** Hello! We’re working on fixing this issue and will release the update soon. We’re sorry for such inconvenience with this hidden object mystery game. ### 1/5 — Ads won’t close *2024-02-08, version 1.1.2* Every time I go to get a coin by watching an ad I can’t get out of the ad so I am deleting the game . I was really enjoying it but the ads are blocking me . ### 1/5 — Trash *2023-05-20, version 1.1.2* Most stupid game I’ve ever played total garbage to complete a task you have to do the most stupidest thing in this game ### 1/5 — The screen has gone blank *2022-11-28, version 1.1.2* The add’s really messes up the game it’s hard to get off them now for over a day the screen is blank because of them add’s! So now I’m going to delete it what a waste of time. ### 1/5 — Unable to play properly *2022-04-06* The screen of the game is stretched unusually wide which hurts the eye and the within game text 3rd para is getting cut off by the phone’s thin ‘exit’ line which is where the 3rd/4th word item to find in the crime scene is. Please make it user friendly for all types of phones. Uninstalled as a result. ### 1/5 — I’d rather pay for a game outright *2021-10-27, version 1.0.8* Games like this are syphoning scams. Nope. I’ll stick to the all in one purchase games. ### 1/5 — I wish I could give it zero stars *2021-10-14, version 1.0.8* Very bad instructions on some of the puzzles. Gets really annoying trying to figure them out. Towards the end you have to have crystals and mirrors to get the beam to go point in a certain direction. When you get one side done and then you almost get the other side done everything gets screwed up. They do not put that in the instructions though. So stupid and annoying to the point I am about to give all of their games a one star review!! Other than that, it is an ok game. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Лучшая игра *2025-07-09* Я была удивлена,что она бесплатная,очень качественная,хорошая графика и интересные,трудные головоломки.Люди которые занимались разработкой огромное спасибо ### 5/5 — 게임 다운 *2025-01-16* 결제도 하고, 1시간 힌트 무료 20분이나 남았는데..ㅠㅠ 실행이 안되요.. **Developer response:** Hi!

Rätsel sind machbar und die Geschichte ist interessant! Außerdem mag ich bei Euren spielen sehr, dass alles in kleinere Abschnitte aufgeteilt ist so dass man nicht wie bei anderen spielen dieser Art einfach nur endlos hin und her rennen muss :) weiter so 🤗👍🏼 ### 5/5 — Challenging *2022-12-23, version 1.1.2* I’ve played so many of these HO adventure games that I usually have to play difficult mode for it to be fun. The mini games here are so intuitive, challenging and original that it makes up for the silly story and animation. ### 5/5 — Adoro! *2022-12-09* Muito obrigada por liberar este jogo tão bem feito! É inacreditável não custar nada. Já comprei alguns dos quais me arrependi muito. Esta forma é maravilhosa porque você só paga quando realmente gostou do jogo, e este eu estou jogando pela segunda vez! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
