Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Fun. Not too difficult, of course the instructions are well thought out. We purchased over 3 years ago and accidentally deleted it. We finally found it again and reloaded it.
Lots of fun, done very well, enjoyed very much.
We loved this game it was fun but not to hard to understand the games. We loved the hidden squirrels we like it when you have to find little things like that. We cant wait until the next one.
We really enjoy the scenes. The creative hops and the challenges. Beautiful game.
We loved this game, Ive been playing it on and off for over three weeks. The puzzles were fun and challenging, the storyline was great, and the graphics were truly gorgeous.
This game has lots of fun twists and turns, but we find we really need the hints. Im glad that they are numerous and recharge quickly! The graphics and sound effects are entertaining. We recommend this game.
Loved this game! It was just the right balance between hidden object and other puzzles. The storyline is interesting and graphics are well done.
One of the best games Ive played. It was fun from beginning to end. Games varied from easy to hard.
This is an excellent game. The first day we played it for 11 hours.
It's a beautiful and engaging game that provides many hours of entertainment, even after playing more than once. Well thought out and executed. Thanks to the developers and artists.
The best HOG Ive ever played. Many HO games within which is what we love. Its lengthy but it kept our interest throughout! How do we find out what other games this creator has available? HELP.
We purchased this game and got to Ch 11 according to the guide – we are in the prison area with the big bear, line 4 per the guide; Im suppose to play the HOP but it wont let us. The HOPs have little sparkles but there are no sparkles! Whats going on Big Fish? After buying a game, something always goes wrong! This is not good.
We have only gotten a start, but it seems pretty good so far. Challenging yet not a dead give away.
It was such a fantastic game! Love the storyline and the games through out the story. There were two things we wish you had added a map showing when you completed an area and words coming out of the characters mouth. Glad there was not the blood and gore like some of the other games. We like that the game is a long version and keep you entertained, games pretty easy and not stressful like some of the other Big Fish games. Hope they make a sequel to this one because this one is one of your better games.
This game was a lot of fun figuring out the story finding objects and playing puzzles to solve the mystery. We really enjoyed it.
All the Big Fish games are really great fun. Your only problem will be when you find its almost midnight, you have to go to work the next day, and you don't want to stop playing.
Great game. Very entertaining. Couldn't stop until we finished it.
Very challenging game. Kept us entertained and engaged for hours. Couldn't wait to see what was around the next turn. Loads of fun.
Used to play HOG's a lot, then lost interest. This restored our interest. Loved how the hints were done.
The game was a great fun puzzle,had to work a little to get to the end. Will certainly more of your games.
This is a fun app, full of twists and turns. Plenty of mini games in it, useful map, easy to follow storyline. Dot-to-dots are kind of silly, but they do move things along. We've played it through twice and enjoyed both times.
Love the BF games, they are the best.
Oh our gosh, oh our gosh, oh our gosh!!!! We are really loving this HOAG!! Thank you thank you thank you to all who had a hand in bringing us this magnificent game!! Totalbullseye!! The cut scenes and voice actors are simply marvelous. There is a teleporting map, a back button()& a strategy guide through BF. The scenery is colorful & interesting -as is the plot. Townspeople are missing & our niece is in danger! Playing the hero/heroine never gets old in our book & we have much to do before getting to the bottom of things. We are collecting squirrels this time and finding pieces of a very important amulet along the way. So far, the HOS we've played have been the interactive kind(our fave!) and there are plenty of puzzles too! No disgusting rats Lynxieonly a chubby lilhamster who seems HANGRY (hungry/angry) & some crazy crows that fly at the screen in an early scene(baby carriage). If we come across anything later in the game, we will def update our review!! Sending you infinite amounts ofHealingLight& hope you are feeling much better HossRyder: we totally agree w/you- it's so lovely to get tidbits of all of your lives! On that note, Thanks for the warm welcome back everybody!! You all make our day when we read your reviews To ALL reviewers/gamers: we send you LVE and LCK!!! Bunkie.
Really enjoyed it. Done very well.
Interesting game. Easy story to follow. Not as hard as some we've played.
We love this game. We've played it about 10 times. We like how the game makes sense and flows. The puzzles as we go along are entertaining.
This was our introduction to the Mystery of the Ancients games and still our favorite. Love the variety of the puzzles, the music, the characters and the storyline.
We're loving this game. Has met our expectations after choosing a looser before this one. That's what Happens to us when we can try a game first. Thanks for given a free preview! The critters, especially the grumpy raccoon are great.
This game app was worth buying. Hint worked well and the puzzles were challenging but not impossible.
This game was lots of fun…we even played it twice! Loved the fact that you could get your hints quickly. Loved the puzzles that made you think, but not too hard where they become frustrating. The one time in app purchase was worth the price to make the game longer. This is a good game.
As challenging as you choose to make it. We love that you pay once and thats it. Great game keep up the good work.
We love this Game it is fun and not to hard to play easy to understand the Story we still like the Game a lot.
Beautiful Improvements in the game which we have played years ago. Missed it. We had given up on it because it was one step forward, three steps back, but thats part of the game.
Nothing to really recommend it but not much to dislike. We do wish the developers of these types of games would rely on the staff for whom English is the first language to write the rules of the mini games. They are often vague and obtuse. Ive gotten used to skipping them which rankles.
This was a nice, long, more laid back game. None of the puzzles were overly difficult, but fun nonetheless. Our only complaint is the dot to dot puzzles were sort of lame.
Kind of a cool theme and decent artwork. Lower than average obnoxious puzzle ratio, and the bonus content on this one was quite nice and didn't feel tacked on.
We really enjoyed this game. Refreshing story line with a variety of games. We wish we had more likes this.
We like the game but trying to find hidden objects! If we have too pay for it we will not.
A lot of variety and the right level of difficulty for us ( novice) but just too much monologue. Luckily you can skip a lot of ir.
Interesting game. Thank goodness for the hint button.
More puzzles than hidden objects.
The good: nice length, pretty good story. The bad: so many connect the number puzzles that are too easy. All the numbers are right there. No complex puzzles.
We really enjoy this game. We just wish there were hints in the strategy guide as to where all the squirrels are! Also, PLEASE remove all the reminders to leave feedback for your games! It's extremely annoying.
3 Guardians should be called poor guardians. Story line somewhat confusing and thank god for the hint button. One time cost appreciated as didn't have to continue to pay in order to play. Could have more chapters for cost.
The good: nice length, pretty good story. The bad: so many connect the number puzzles that are too easy. All the numbers are right there. No complex puzzles. This play through Ive encountered three game stopping glitches. Fortunately two were near the beginning but the last one was near the end so we couldnt finish the game.
Okay two issues first the kindergarten game connect 1-30 with your finger we felt utterly ridiculous what am we five yrs old so we skipped um all ,so stupid..next the stars/sky make the shapes nearly impossible to do so we skipped those games also. We dont have the patience for nonsense. The hidden object games boring. Playing this game only cuz we played the game on sale we will not pay full price for any game as we may come across another turkey like this game.
We never got to the paywall. We quit in the middle of the little "play." There's too much story and cutscene and fluff, not enough game. We only ever marginally care about the stories in these games. If we wanted a good story, we'd read a book or watch a movie. If we're playing a game, we want a game, primarily. We felt there was no challenge to this. Pick up object, use it, pick up other object, use it. We just do not care. By the way, it's rare that we don't even get to the paywall.
We have played this game through twice and when we get to the end it just quits on us. It is a rip off.
Most addictive game we have ever experienced.
We had a great time with this game. It's the longest playing time of any of the hidden object games we've tried. Lots of detail in the rooms and the hidden object scenes. We're sure we'll come back and play it again, so it's very good value for the $6.99 we paid.
