Community Insight:
We love the Blackthorn and Enchanted series, and this is equally relaxing and challenging. We like wandering through beautiful landscape with soothing music while solving puzzles. Appreciate the hint feature and map.
Puzzles Smooth/fast loading Graphics.
Just finish your new updated game. It is both fun and challenging! Tricky but not unsolvable! Great job again team. Cant wait for the next Uncle Henry adventure! One of your biggest fans.
Great games by this company. Tons of fun and brainpower.
Enjoyable and challenging puzzle adventure game.
We enjoyed playing the extra locations; great puzzles. We are a great fan of your games. Please make more.
Challenging puzzles with a great story line! Looking forward to the next adventure to this series (The Lost Treasure).
Loved it! Beautiful art, beautiful scenery, puzzles were fun and not too hard but still very engaging and entertaining. The right amount of locations… Not a gazillion places to keep schlepping to back and forth (we appreciate this!). Love the camera feature (although it might have been more challenging if we got to choose what to shoot instead of having the game do it for us). Nice map and a helpful built in hint feature if you need a boost. All in all, a very enjoyable game and a generous gift from the developers. Thank you.
This game is super cool so like you can its an adventure game so like you can do challenges and stuff its super Duper cool everybody should download this.
A great game for a grandpa and grandson to play together. Fun problem solving skills. This game is the best. Can't wait to try more.
It was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!we we love these games please make more like this! Thanks.
Dont try this game when your very tired!! Very challenging.
Great stuff this game puts the huckle in our berry.
One of a very few developers that make such creative and well made point and click escape games. Every aspect of each game is thoroughly thought through. Mini games are fun and challenging. Wonderful fast travel option helps not to get lost in wondering around the locations while trying to find the clues or return to them, as well as does the snap shots option. Ive given the same 5 star review to every Syntaxity game we have played as they are all excellent.
Thanks for a fun game! It wasn't too easy or too hard.
Mostly challenging but some of it is extremely challenging. We needed help a few times, lucky there are others who helped.
Just Fantastic. So many new puzzles and at a level of challenge that will satisfy any gamer for hours.
Amazing graphics! It is not not too hard and yet not too easy either. When you cant solve a puzzle, come back to it the next day with a fresh look and you get it! All puzzles, objects and usage are logical! We have now played ALL Syntaxity games and loved them all! Highly recommended! A truly relaxing game! Please continue developing adventure games; you guys are great at it. We were disappointed that you came out with Sudoku since we dont play that and was waiting for another adventure game. Im still waiting .. Please.
Gorgeous graphics, easy navigation point and click, challenging but not impossible puzzles. Hint option within game is helpful lol. Excellent game.
The graphics are great and the game over all is great.
Syntaxity delivers again with an updated extended version of the Lost Ship – perfect mix of puzzles, setting, and treasure hunt.
Some of the puzzles were hard. We enjoyed it.
About 4 hours of fun. Some of the clickables were a little hard to see but eventually able to find and figure out.
Enjoyed it even though we need help with puzzles.
It tells us there is something in scene 19. We cannot find anything. It seems like other puzzles we have solved are not giving us any results. Specifically the hand crank to remove the bars in the castle.
Just finish your new updated game. It is both fun and challenging! Tricky but not unsolvable! Great job again team. Cant wait for the next Uncle Henry adventure! One of your biggest fans.
Really have enjoyed playing this game a lot.
Not so hard that you cant figure it out. Clothes really help. So much fun. Most games dont keep us this longBecause we get stuck at this one keeps you going if you keep using the clues. (we did not even have to pay for clues.. Just use the free ones they gave).
Lots of nonsense puzzles and too many scenes to navigate. We hated needing to go to quick jump locations. Why not make it like standard escape games where once you find the map you can click on any room or level that youve already been to. Otherwise it was interesting. We like that there are lots of rooms and scenes.
The fourth title we've enjoyed from this developer, each one is more satisfying than the last. We really appreciate how segmented the progression of the game is in this iteration…make it easy to keep track of where the obstacles are and the navigation is a snap. So fortunate to land this game for freeQ Keep them coming Syntaxity.
Very good game. Some jumping around from scene to scene but not bad. Ive actually played a lot worse but this one was good.
We liked that the puzzle solutions were logical; by examining the clues which are earned along the way, one can solve these challenges. Thanks for the fun.
Great puzzle very entertaining game cant wait till the next one is released.
Besides being a great game, there is an attention to detail rarely seen in mobile games. For example: say youve zoomed in on a puzzle but werent able to solve it yet. When you zoom out, it looks like how youve left it. When you return to it later, it still looks that way. Never seen this in other games Ive played.
Lots of clues to help play the game and a couple of ambiguous clues that didnt help. Over all well worth playing.
Not too hard. Not too easy. The clues and objects are very good. You need a good memory to recall which objects/clues belong to which scene. We unfortunately was not blessed with good memory . The map helps and its very well done. And the hint system is just that – a nudge in the right direction, not the actual solution. Id give this game a solid B+.
This was an exhausting but neat adventure…keep em coming.
We played this with our young son. We loved the adventure and challenges. Thank you for the fun.
We really enjoyed this game. The puzzles are very well put together throughout the stages. We would recommend this game to anyone thats into problem solving games.
Spent a couple hours and enjoyed ourselves. We love games like Myst and point and puzzle. Wasnt too hard but the hits helped when stuck.
This was a lot of fun for something that was free. It was good problem solving with suitable hints if you needed an extra push.
We loved this game. We are 5 years old and we played it with our Papa.
Hours of good play. Easily worth $4. Thank you for amazing app! Great puzzles and challenges. Great job to make this awesome game/adventure game!! Has amazing graphics. Love the puzzles!!!!! Thank you for making this app!!!!!! SO fun! Great puzzles and graphics!! Worth the 4 bucks! Thanks so much to the developers for making this AMAZING game.
Game is excellently designed and very engaging.
Great puzzles, can get confusing at times but keeps you entertained. Solutions available online if you get stuck.
Enjoyed the fact that it was reasonably complicated, but not to the point of being frustrating.
Simple to begin with. Easy enough to start out and get you hooked. As you get further into it, the clues become more challenging. And intuitively, we could deduce that we would need a clue or tool to go there. Just have to find it As always, it can become difficult to remember WHERE you sawit so that you can return there. The quick travel was extremely helpful. And the clue hints also were appreciated-go to scene 35 and look for a clue. Had a lot of fun. Thanks.
Can keep you busy for hours and helps keep your mind focused and sharp.
Frustrating at points but very fun to play and relax.
