Perfect for when you need a good challenge! ### 4/5 — Great But Missing 1 Thing *2024-10-03, version 1.0* Game is fun. Although I appreciate the challenge, I would love to have a hint feature. Perhaps 1 hint given after so many found, or maybe a hint if you've gotten to the 9th one found. ### 4/5 — fun *2024-03-28, version 1.0* would like a tip option for finding the criders. ### 2/5 — Was enjoying it but can’t unlock anymore levels *2023-08-24, version 1.2.7* Could only play 3 games and the others won’t unlock :/ ### 4/5 — it should have more free levels *2023-03-22, version 1.0* needs more free levels ### 4/5 — Lots of fun *2023-03-22, version 1.0* Just the right level of challenge for me. You get a lot of quiet entertainment for a very reasonable price and I like that data is not collected. ### 2/5 — Half working *2022-11-04, version 1.2.7* I really like this game However after purchasing this game all of my puzzles are not working . I would having giving it 5 stars ### 5/5 — Cute *2022-08-30, version 1.2.7* Lovely music. Nice illustrations. Hard to find the 10th meerkats lol ### 2/5 — not a meerkat *2022-07-09, version 1.0* No hints No zoom No clues makes for a frustrating game ### 3/5 — Fun, but needs new chapters to explore *2022-07-09, version 1.2.7* This is an entertaining game. You pay to get additional pages to search, but once you finish those, there are no more. This is disappointing. The game is not ongoing. I enjoyed what I did play, but definitely wished there was more! ### 3/5 — A Bit Expensive *2022-07-05, version 1.2.7* This game is all sorts of fun! I really wanted to keep playing after I completed the first 3 free levels, but they want $1.99 per level, and there are 21 more levels. I really don’t mind paying for a game, but these levels go quickly. I finished the first 3 in less than 20 minutes. Paying for the succeeding levels would mean $1.99 for about 6 minutes of fun. ### 4/5 — why i gave it 4 star *2022-06-11, version 1.0* The Good Things Where's the meercat is a realy fun game. it helps me calm done if i'm am angry or I just don't know what to do. The Bad Things it does not give you hints when you realy need it. when you have done all the already unlocked games it does not unlock any others so you might aswell just either keep deleting it and doing it all over again or just delete it when you are done. ### 5/5 — i love it *2022-06-05, version 1.0* really fun ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not very free *2025-09-08, version 1.0* Only first 3 levels are free then you have to pay. Art work is not great. Tales only about half an hour to complete all three. Deleted. ### 1/5 — Thought it was *2024-12-20, version 1.2.7* Earlier was enjoying the game but not now. Have to pay after the first 3 levels😭😭😭 ### 1/5 — Money Grabbing *2024-02-26* Very limited opportunity to see whether you like this game before it is put behind a pay wall... therefore judged as not worth it! ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2023-12-19, version 1.2.7* Great kids game, it’s a shame that you only get 3 levels before you have to pay ### 1/5 — dissapointed *2023-02-22, version 1.0* I love the game, except there's only 3 free levels. You have to pay 1.99 per every other level you want to play. I finished all three in a span of 10 minutes, so now I have to delete the app because I don't want to pay $20 for the rest of the levels. ### 1/5 — Only free for the 1st 3 levels *2022-08-14, version 1.2.7* Can only play the first 3 levels for free, have to pay to access more levels. ### 1/5 — Ridiculous and the other reviews are fake. *2021-09-06, version 1.2.7* After you finish 3 levels you have to pay for all the rest of them. The other reviews are clearly fake. It’s not worth it your time. ### 1/5 — Don’t bother *2021-08-17, version 1.2.7* Interface is awful, have to keep going back to the main menu and restarting for your bonus level list to appear. Then once you’ve done 3 levels you have to pay to continue playing! Lots of other free spotting games with much better design than this one. ### 1/5 — silly *2021-03-18, version 1.0* you have to pay 3 dollars for a new location after only 3 levels. Makes me delete the game which is stupid ### 1/5 — Do not get the game *2020-05-09, version 1.2.7* When I was scrolling down I found this app.i got it for no reason then when I tried it I was soo disappointed. I thought it would make me a lots happy.DO NOT GET THE GAME! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Meercats are cool! *2026-02-13, version 1.2.7* She was in her car when the police pulled the vehicle out to get to work the front window was locked up I think it is in a locked room I believe it’s the same as in a garage I think the one that you had the keys on and it has been sitting on top the garage I believe the one in that one was the key that you had it on it I believe the keys were on there was one on top and it wasn’t there and the keys on top and there is that in my truck so it might’ve gone there I think it’s the wrong key and it must’ve gone there I can’t see if I put that on it so I’m going in my garage but it’s the wrong way so I’ll let me check the car door I just need a new lock box I just don’t think it might’ve got a little more money and I’ll see what you don’t think it’s a key is that was a lot to do that way she didn’t want me and I’ll let her phone and I’ll get that way you don’t want me know how it wasn’t there is that was just letting her car key in case she didn’t even say nothing to you don’t think about the car is that you can come and then she just wanted me a key in my room so she was on my house so I’m sorry that you had it in my car and then you were not able or not so she just said she would call her phone so you know that I didn’t even ask for that and she didn’t want it but you didn’t even know I told me you didn’t have a car I didn’t want you in your room I told the other person I don’t have to tell anybody to tell anybody I told them I told her that and then you said no but you were told her I didn’t tell you didn’t want it and she was going back home I don’t have any idea how I don’t even want you guys are not going anywhere I just don’t even ask you guys don’t know if she was telling her mom and you guys have to be a good thing I just wanted her and you guys can talk later and you don’t have any other stuff that was a little later I love to hear about that was all! ### 5/5 — Relax ambience *2025-06-28, version 1.2.7* Something about the art makes me feel nostalgic… ### 5/5 — this game is amazing *2024-04-12, version 1.0* i love this game its so suspencsful and really exiting you know know what your gonna find a barrle of laughs i must say ### 5/5 — 5/5 *2023-11-22, version 1.0* such a relaxing game that my friend and i found. super entertaining with lovely music and art. :) ### 5/5 — meercats *2023-05-06, version 1.0* fun game, takes some hunting to find them ### 5/5 — Meerkat *2023-04-11, version 1.2.7* I love this game , but I’m on a fixed income I’m sick of tired f you guys making us pay for something that is fun give us something that is free Jesus ### 5/5 — Love this game *2023-02-05, version 1.2.7* So much fun!
