### 5/5 — Great

*2024-02-08, version 1.0.0*

Love this game  another big fish great game

### 1/5 — Can’t find purchase

*2024-02-07, version 1.0.0*

I downloaded this game on 23rd August 2023 and paid £6.99. I deleted it after playing and have now tried to download it again but it says purchase not found. This has happened with several previously purchased games from Big Fish so I won’t be paying for any more.

### 2/5 — Don’t pay for this game

*2023-04-30*

It has so many glitches. You can’t even play it. I’ve had to open open it and close it. Multiple times to get features to work. Right now I’m at a spot where there’s no objectives available and I can’t go anywhere either. Waste of money.

### 3/5 — Needs a bit more logic…

*2023-04-15*

The map is not very useful. You collect so many objects before you use them… Very little logic to where things will be. Sorry I paid for it. Update: Having already paid, I persevered. The logic is still missing, but there was enjoyment - with copious use of the map.

### 5/5 — I like the game

*2023-03-15*

Keep you on your toes. Make you think and to solve problems kool

### 1/5 — Waste of time and money

*2023-03-05, version 1.0.0*

The mini games were impossible, it should come with a magnifying glass to find important areas to work. Worse BIG FISH hidden object game I’ve played.

### 5/5 — Great story

*2022-07-18, version 1.0.0*

Will definitely pay to unlock to whole game. I think it’s worth paying for.

### 1/5 — Bad game

*2022-03-04, version 1.0.0*

I just paid for this game and it doesn’t work I would like my money back.

### 3/5 — No map, no morphing objects

*2022-02-06*

I have been spoiled by games you can teleport to and little morphing objects to look for. I thought the graphics were terrific!  There is nothing at all wrong with the game. It is just my preference to have a map which also helps when you get completely stumped. I prefer to never hit the hint button. LOL

### 5/5 — Family Ties

*2021-12-08*

Like they say- oldie but a goodie! I keep this game in the back and replay every once in a while. Always find something new each time I play!
