Community Insight:
We like this game but it makes no sense in how the winner of a round is determined. You basically are teamed up against other people and play 3 rounds. Last place gets eliminated until you are down to two. So many times we will win the first two rounds but if we lose the third round then we lose the match completely. It makes no sense and is irritating.
We love this game but now the game wont load we tried to uninstall the app and download it again but we still cant play it.
When the opponent beats us, we want to know what objects we missed.
Its dumb to have to wait 12 minutes if you loose, try having lives and give a couple chances.
This was our favorite game hands down until today. It wouldnt load…for hours we tried so we finally deleted the app and downloaded it again thinking that would get rid of any glitches. It didnt. We were up to level 11 doing very well on episodes in the 170s and now we cant get into the game at all even though we were willing to start back at the beginning. Im very disappointed. To the developer Thank you for your response but you suggestion didnt correct the problem. Also we don know how it could be an intermittent internet issue if we dont have any problems with anything else. We had spent some serious money to get to where we were and now its gone. HOW CAN we BE PLAYING THIS FOR A HALF HOUR AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE NEXT SCREEN WONT LOAD. THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MY INTERNET. We SWEAR IT GETS SHUT DOWN IF we WIN TOO MANY TIMES. IM A FOOL TO KEEP TRYING THIS GAME.
Why is the family having a picnic eating watermelon? Stereotype much.
What happened to the zoom-in feature.
We do like this game but it costs so much more to play than any other find the difference game we have played. Within one week we payed over $15 and now we cant play. It says we need 48 coins just to get to next level. There is no way to earn coins except in extremely small units of a few a day. We will not wait weeks to play. What a shame.
Give us a break! We find the difference, click it and it will not illuminate. Cheating players of a win.
We loved playing this game. Suddenly, our path was blocked because we didnt have enough coins! We dont care about the prizes and all that, but you should build up enough coins. We despise games that do this!!! We will delete the game and find another one.
What a fun game! We absolutely love it! So glad we downloaded the app. Its addicting. Our favorite game so far! Cant stop playing it.
How do you get pets in this game.
Just started playing…so far a lot of fun. We love these kinds of games. We are wondering if itll frustratingly difficult the longer we play. Time will tell but we will continue to play. So relaxing.
We were on level 64 on our ipad and it sure is good for our brain.
Wondering why there are no more videos to watch to earn coins to play this game. Does anyone know why. This game use to be fun until they made all the changes.
Attempted the 30 day challenge. The last few days you have to play for hours each day to achieve the goals. Thats more time than we want to spend on our phone. Cut back on the goals and increase the daily coins.
We love finding differences and hidden things.
Clever and elusive searches makes 5 differences tons of fun! Try it.
Dont like the changes made to the game.
Some things are NOT visibly different.
Love the game, but get frustrated.
This game is addictive and fun.
We have really enjoyed this game tremendously, but your addition of choosing and placing pieces to advance to next level is a waste of time to us.
Today 10/28/20, is now day 4 of not being able to play this game. It will Not load past 70%. Ive tried deleting and reinstalling it and still same issue. If its an update issue, it shouldnt take 4 days (thus far) to complete.
We dont think we need to tell you why Im deleting this game. Thats right its a con artist money pit game. Its a crying shame a person cant enjoy a game for awhile without having to put up with time limits! Come on people, time limits in a game like this? Money spent on every corner? These kind of games are for relaxing. Wish we had one.
Do not like the new updates. This game is getting worse by the minute. Loved the game 2 yrs ago but so called upgrades have ruined it for us. We will use up our points then stop playing! The things we find that have ruined the game are no zoom, no timer, 4 points instead of 10 at daily login. 48 points to unlock the game if not enough stars accumulated. New system of picking a chest with the puzzle piece is a ripoff. We never had a problem before moving on to the next stage.
Disappointed with the new update. Went from collecting keys In order to unlock levels to move forward. Now have to pick the correct treasure box to collect the puzzle in order to move forward. If you dont pick the correct treasure box then you either have to pay until you find the correct box or have to redo the level again. Should have left the game setup alone.
We have not gotten threw 3 games with out it freezing up on us. By the time our game loads up (if it does) our opponent is on the second or third picture.
Not enough rewards! 1 token is nothing.
Go back to the keys. You are just trying to get us to spend money. Stupid change. Lost us.
Used to enjoy it. Now the app doesnt even load completely freezes at 60%.
This new update has ruined the game. We like playing the differences game but the new format of having to find all the pictures is so annoying that we rarely play anymore, and we used to be a top contender in the tournaments. No more.
The new update is cheating us we r losing money with no reason when we have to clear the puzzle and get it wrong.
Been playing this game for a while now and to earn points has been reduced from removing the option to watch the ads then it was four points every day for returning to the game and now its only two.
This is so cool and our daughter has been doing it for the hole summer.
This Game has some fun to be had in it but OH YET & Still so Differences are rather easy but we guess that is just for the beginning of this Game.
Been playing for close to a year and really enjoying. Now that we have collected all the cards in the collection – will there be another one.
Most games now have cards/collections etc. It gives you an incentive to earn cards to complete collections. However, with this game, once you get ALL of the cards – nothing happens. You dont get new collections. Nothing, nada. Its bizarre. Now we have no incentive to play again.
The one-life system makes us want to stop playing. If Im forced to spend 2530 coins just to try again, Id rather close the app and play something else. Wouldnt you want players to stay engaged longer? If we can keep playing, were more likely to spend coins on hints, or other features that enhance the experience. As it stands, the restart cost feels like a penalty, not an incentive. Reducing that barrier could keep players invested and ultimately lead to more in-game spending.
Im fairly new to the game. We were introduced to it by our sister (who recently passed away) so playing is bittersweet for us. One thing that we often spoke about was how awesome it would be to be able to play with or against each other or on teams against others using our game ID. Is anything like that in the making.
In game but repetitive LONG ads.
We like playing this game. Im not sure what is going on with the app. It shut down on us in the middle of playing and will not connect again.
Im confused to what the purpose is of constantly accruing "cards" when there are no available Collections (they have all been completed).
Ive been playing this for a few days and we are loving it.
This game has the potential to be fun. But literally ever single level it freezes and we have to reset the level just for it to do the same thing over. Later for some reason itll finally work and we can move to the next level.
Using lol,daily bonus is here come get it really its very weird maybe consider changing to something different. Please Do NOT email us.just consider.
We really do like this game, so far.
1/2 way thru the game we loose the connection. This obviously makes us loose the game! It doesnt happen on any other game. We find this so irritating as we love playing the game.
We find this game very challenging & we love it. But what happened to the free booster ads? Do we have to buy them, now? Some differences are so subtle you wonder if you are seeing any difference at all.
There are some levels where we see the difference but cant click on it to advance. Frustrating.
