Why ### 2/5 — Hard to see items *2025-07-21, version 4.1* I paid 3.99 to get game with no ads. Shouldn’t have wasted my money. Items are so small, some hidden inside stuff with just a corner showing. I like a challenge, but that’s not playing fair. Don’t waste your cash. There’s no storyline, which is 75% of the fun of hidden object games. Bored. ### 5/5 — Sehr schön *2025-04-10* Ein entspanntes Wimmelspiel, macht Spaß ### 2/5 — Game ok *2025-02-24, version 4.0* Too many long ads. Takes too long to get more energy ### 3/5 — Only half the game *2025-02-11, version 4.0* I have done half the game and got 5 stars in all of them but the other half of locations remain locked. How do I unlock them? ### 4/5 — Fun *2025-02-11, version 4.0* This is a good challenge game ### 5/5 — Time Machine *2025-01-12* Lots and Lots of fun….not easy but fun nonetheless. Like a game that is a challenge but not full of useless stuff ### 3/5 — WAAAAAAY too many ads *2025-01-12, version 3.3* It’s not the best hidden object game I’ve played. What I found so annoying though was the ads removal model. One ad after each round. And it took 8 close hits each to end it, some with wait times. And loud obtrusive sound. I will say, the fee to eliminate them was quite small and without digging deeper, sounded like a one time payment. Still, the ads make the game unenjoyable and virtually unplayable, so I feel coerced into paying the fee. I don’t like feeling coerced. And it makes no sense to implement a putting the screws to you approach for something completely optional, and especially something whose only purpose for the consumer is to have fun. Especially when there’s so much competition. So, returning back to my opening statement, it’s not the best hidden object game I’ve played. And I choose not to play it any more. ### 5/5 — Great *2024-12-18, version 3.3* Love. It ### 3/5 — So far, so good *2024-11-25, version 3.3* Don't like having to watch ads to progress through the game, but the developers have to get paid somehow. ### 4/5 — Waiting…… *2024-11-17, version 3.3* Liked this game but waiting for More like Time Trap I &2. Loved the graphics in TT and even purchased it ### 5/5 — A nice, low pressure, but mind-stimulating game *2024-10-08, version 3.3* No time pressures, and the puzzles are challenging. ### 5/5 — Tolles Spiel *2024-09-11* Schönes Wimmelbildspiel, Gehirntraining. ### 4/5 — Relaxing game *2024-09-09, version 3.3* No pressure. Just take your time and find the objects. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Werbung nach jeder Runde *2025-12-11* Werbung nach jeder Runde ### 1/5 — Not enough energy *2025-04-05, version 4.0* Seems like a fun game but I can only play one short round with daily energy. ### 1/5 — Time Machine *2025-01-22, version 3.3* One word…….STUPID ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2024-12-21, version 3.3* You have to watch too many ads to play for just a short time. Not worth it to me. ### 1/5 — Energie zu schnell verbraucht *2024-10-13* Nur 1 Stern, da kaum Zeit vernünftig zu spielen ohne Geld zu investieren. ### 1/5 — Time Machine *2024-09-29, version 3.3* Game makes no sense. Have what the items collected are for. Really getting bored. There’s no way in the game to collect more energy unless you watch the adds. ### 1/5 — Time Machine *2024-05-17, version 3.1* I don’t like that the picture darkened right after I brightened my device to see better and make this game more fun😖. ### 1/5 — I used to Love Time Machine *2023-11-04* With the new multiple options I hate it now. Someone needs to retire the new upgrade and put the old program back. I see a blinking arrow but can’t get the program to work. I don’t understand the problem. I tried and tried to play the Time Machine but can’t get the game to work. So I deleted the program **Developer response:** Thank you for your review. Enjoy playing & keep supporting us :) ### 1/5 — Music and graphics from the dark ages *2023-03-01, version 2.3* Not sure how jazz was chosen as the music for this hidden object game. I could not find options to turn off. As for the graphics, I’m playing on 10 inch iPad and had to scroll left and then right to find all objects. Of course, it takes longer this way. Graphics colors are flat, very boring. Objects are not cleverly hidden. No fun here. ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2022-02-26, version 2.0* Sorry. I really wanted to enjoy this game. 1. Too ambiguous. Does not clearly give time left or cost in energy to play. 2. Does not expand screen to find microscopic objects. 3. Way too many pop-up ads, it interrupts the flow of the game. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fun game and not stressful *2026-08-19, version 4.2* I play several times a day to relax. It helps me practice my memory. I read the objects and try to find the without going back to look. At 78 memory isn’t as good as in younger years. Fun game. ### 5/5 — Captivating *2026-04-11, version 4.2* I just found this hidden objects game as a senior I love it …have got my hubby into it now and he is fussy…would reccomend ..👍🏻 ### 5/5 — Mister *2026-03-09, version 4.2* Great game ### 5/5 — Très beau jeu.merci *2026-01-26, version 4.2* Très beau jeu. J aime beaucoup ### 5/5 — Time Machine *2026-01-21, version 4.2* A very fun mystery game ### 5/5 — Good for old folks *2026-01-14, version 4.2* Old people like myself need to keep your brain active and this is doing it for me. ### 5/5 — WONDERFUL HIDDEN OBJECTS GAME! *2025-06-19, version 4.0* I just started to play this game tonight & was asked to leave a review. From my point of view, with the little experience I have playing this game, I like it alot. It's fun, enjoyable & challenging. But, most fortunate of all, there's no timer. That makes this game topnotch, in my view. The scene illustrations are beautifully rendered. For those who enjoy hidden objects games, I recommend you d/l this game. ### 5/5 — Entertaining *2025-06-17, version 4.0* I like the game it’s nice that it has different variants, it’s more entertaining. No ads is definitely a plus. I’m not a big person for the “game” I just like doing the puzzles. I would prefer to pick which ones I’d like to do other than it being chosen for me. I would recommend it. ### 5/5 — Time Machine *2025-06-07, version 4.0* Amusant mais parfois trop sombre ### 5/5 — Time Machine *2025-05-04, version 4.0* Love this game --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
