### 4/5 — Good game but

*2025-09-15, version 1.0.0*

I’ve played the main game but can’t find the bonus game! My excuse is my age 72 but if someone can tell me where to find the bonus game I’d be very grateful.😊😊

### 4/5 — 👍

*2024-03-16, version 1.0.0*

Personally, I like this game and am an overall big fan of Elephant games. I prefer their games to most others. I find they don’t disappoint.

### 3/5 — Okay game

*2021-12-24, version 1.0.0*

Puzzles are a little easy but still fun

### 2/5 — Not working

*2021-01-20, version 1.0.0*

This was a great game until I couldn’t play any more! There was a glitch to the library key that wouldn’t work. I have tried several times for the key to go thru the lock but it malfunctioned every time. I paid $6.99 for this game that I couldn’t complete. Went to Apple Pay for a refund, but nothing yet! Big Fish, you’re ripping people off! Highly disappointed!

### 3/5 — Good but

*2020-05-11, version 1.0.0*

Fix the interface. Everytime you try to grab a tool you go out of the game

### 4/5 — Good game

*2019-06-27, version 1.0.0*

I didn’t give 5 stars because....my pet hate is modern objects in games where they don’t belong.  It might be petty but it just spoils it for me.  Please don’t do it, it’s so wrong. 😡

### 2/5 — Not my favourite game

*2019-06-27, version 1.0.0*

Quite dark in places, storyline average and graphics old.

### 3/5 — Cannot finish

*2019-03-23, version 1.0.0*

Will not let me clear the cobweb that is hiding the cup. Was a good game up to there.

### 3/5 — No End Scene

*2018-09-23, version 1.0.0*

I just finished the main game. You *spoiler-ish* defeat the main enemy and that’s it. No end scene. I wasn’t even sure I’d won, but then there was a little thing that said I completed the game and unlocked the bonus game. What about the happy ending, or any ending?

I gave this 3* because it was a fun little afternoon adventure for a day of being home with a cold. Nice music, nice graphics, interesting story line. Just, finish writing the game Big Fish.

### 3/5 — Frustrating!

*2018-09-11, version 1.0.0*

Really enjoying it but got half way through and it keeps kicking me out. Every time I try and play now I get to the play button and the whole thing shuts down.

### 3/5 — Неплохо, не совсем не идеально

*2018-08-13, version 1.0.0*

Графика слабенькая. Загадки достаточно простые. Один раз игра зависла (почти в самом конце, где надо найти улитку), пришлось всё проходить заново. Бонусная глава по сюжету с основной почти не связана. Концовка непонятная. Люблю игры от Big Fish, но это не впечатлила...

### 4/5 — illusion

*2018-08-08, version 1.0.0*

I really enjoy this series, (I’m at the point that I automatically buy as soon as they come out) & I sure wasn’t disappoint with this one - it’s a customizable, fun game!
I love the characters & the magical kingdoms, w/just enough of the “Medieval” backgrounds to keep me happy, too! 
 
I only rated it a 4* game because it can be difficult to combine/find things by clicking on it once, & it can get irritating having to keep trying different angles...but that is *literally* my only complaint. 

Although, I do have to admit that Zan K does make a good point - it’s *not* quite a good as past games, when ERS was still doing it.
Maybe that’s why my irritation has gone from “ugh” to “dammit!” regarding being able to get things on the first try? IDK ... but I’m still really enjoying the game.

I’m really close to being done with the main game, & I’m looking forward to the bonus chapter!

⚠️My advice to AMAZ ➡️ this is a popular series, (one of my favs, actually) but if it gets worse, you’re going to lose fans. Don’t let it get to that point, please?!⚠️

### 3/5 — 見にくい…

*2018-08-08, version 1.0.0*

字も小さいけどアイテムも小さい。
拾うべきアイテムに気づけない時もあります。

ストーリーのボリュームはまぁまぁあるんですけどね。

### 1/5 — Strategy Guide?

*2024-03-19, version 1.0.0*

There is no strategy guide available on the Big Fish Game Finder app.  Not having this means you have no idea if or where there are collectibles to find. 
As the Game Finder app was last updated 5 years ago, it makes you wonder if Big Fish really care about the iOS market.
As to the game itself, the lack of a strategy guide sours it for me.

### 1/5 — Won’t let me purchase 🤨

*2022-10-08, version 1.0.0*

😒

### 1/5 — Terrible games…

*2021-09-04, version 1.0.0*

I bought one game and every time I clicked to move to the next screen it would be blacked out and I could only get the audio. Another game asked me to give a doll a name in Latin and when I tried typing in the name it kept saying Latin only ? This is now over $18.00 down the tube . I got rid of these two duds . I don’t have the time to sue you so I’ll just say SHAME ON YOU. Rip me off for a measly $18.00 .

### 1/5 — 결제

*2021-08-24, version 1.0.0*

결제 해서 잘하고 있는데 왜 접속 안돼요 ? 하다 끊겨서 들어가지지가 않아요 왜그래요 ? 괜히 결제하고 게임 하나 ㅠㅠ 그러지 맙시다

### 1/5 — 開けない

*2019-09-12, version 1.0.0*

ゲーム途中から開けなくなった。プレイをタップすると落ちる。改善してほしい。あとアイテムが小さくて見づらい。操作性も良くない。

### 1/5 — Can’t get the paper with the code

*2019-01-16, version 1.0.0*

First 5 minutes of the game there is a glitch. I’m sure you know what I’m talking about. Waste of time, the game is unplayable.

### 1/5 — Can’t finish game

*2018-11-23, version 1.0.0*

At the very end the last hidden object closed without giving me the snail. In order to complete I have to reset the entire game and hope it doesn’t happen again. 

If you are going to make a buggy game then allow resets by game chapter.

### 1/5 — 안되는 이유~~

*2018-11-23, version 1.0.0*

결제했는데~~ 접속이 안 되어요~~~

### 1/5 — Illusions

*2018-08-10, version 1.0.0*

Bought this and after playing for a few days opened it and goes back to my home screen???? Can I get my money back please. What a wait of time.

### 1/5 — ☹️

*2018-07-07, version 1.0.0*

Can’t connect the handle to the pick blade in the chest. Chapter 3.

### 5/5 — Super Grafik

*2022-08-27, version 1.0.0*

Danke und Lob an die Entwickler, tolle Arbeit…spiele seit ca 1,5 Jahren solche Spiele und dieses finde ich herausragend 🤗 hier stimmt das Preisleistungsverhältnis 👍
Spannende Geschichte, abwechslungsreiche und anspruchsvolle außergewöhnliche WBS und Minispiele. Sammelobjekte gibt es in Form von Puzzleteilen, die man dann zusammen fügen kann und so ein Bild entsteht, passend zum Kapitel 😊, es gibt auch Chamäleonobjekte und eine Karte mit leichtem Szenenwechsel. 
Es gibt auch einen Zauberspiegel für….mehr verrate ich nicht 🤭.
Viel Spaß bei dem Spiel 👋

### 5/5 — Illusion

*2020-08-14, version 1.0.0*

Beaux graphismes, et histoire intéressante.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2020-07-16, version 1.0.0*

Excellent

### 5/5 — Interesting and challenging

*2019-08-15, version 1.0.0*

Not so easy like other games.

### 5/5 — FANTASTIC!!

*2019-07-26, version 1.0.0*

Simply the best game I’ve ever played !
No problems with this game at all, I’m sure other companies pay people to put up false reviews to make Big Fish Games look bad ! 
Either that or people are just not following instructions or using their brains to realise what THEY are doing wrong themselves. 
I would recommend this game to anyone ! Thank you Big Fish Games 😘 xx

### 5/5 — Good game!

*2019-06-29, version 1.0.0*

A little long but a great time killer. Lovely graphics. Nicely done!

### 5/5 — Ganz prima Spiel!

*2019-01-20, version 1.0.0*

Es lief bei mir einwandfrei, kein bug. Interessant und abwechslungsreich! Gute Story, sehr schöne Länge. Gute WBS und Minigames, die sich gut in den Spielverlauf einfügten. Sehr gut fand ich, dass es kaum Hin- und Her-Rennerei gab. Tipp war schnell. Es gab auch was zu sammeln. Sehr schöne Grafik, das möchte ich noch betonen. Pures Spielvergnügen!

### 5/5 — Illusionen

*2018-08-13, version 1.0.0*

Toller spiel

### 5/5 — Молодцы

*2018-07-22, version 1.0.0*

Вы молодцы вы делаете очень хорошие игры продолжайте ту же работу

### 5/5 — Long game

*2018-07-02, version 1.0.0*

Love a good long game, and this seems to be no exception.
I’m still annoyed by ads on full versions though. We pay good money for the game. No need to blast the screen with ads after every pause or break in gameplay. Big Fish, please consider changing this. Most players of these games would very likely know what other games are on offer, especially when using the Big Fish app. All the sales are right there.
