Community Insight:
It's a fun not too hard game so far.
It can be fun to play and we may keep at it a bit longer but many rewards that are earned do not appear and now rewards that did appear seem to disappear. And the price of some things is shown as a LOT lower than what it actually does cost.
The writing is way too small. Many times we have to get a magnifying glass out we order to read it.
We've played for a couple of days and we think we're hooked.
Blackstone is a great game we give it 5s.
This game is fun and challenging although it's very much like any other hidden object puzzle game. Perfect for hidden object puzzle lovers of all ages.
A great way to kill time, or lose it lol.
Fun to play. Instructions are pretty much easy.
We agree a little boring and repetitive. As usual you have to spend gems when you just bought a lot of energy.
We like the concept of the game but we do not like playing the same scene over and over and over again. Way too slow progression.
It's fun to do when you're bored and it's addicting and time-consuming but the quests take forever.
Mid game freeze, lost energy and takes too long to gain more. Ads promise rewards but don't deliver.
It has been about 45 days since we were Able to play this game in its entirety. Every time we open a room the application crashes. It came after a 'fix' it hasn't been fixed yet. Love the game but can't play it on our iPad. They just released a new one today, still crashes…don't waste your time downloading this one.
The ads are getting out of control! They used to be every once in a while but now they are constant! They even pop up while we are in the middle of a game! We like playing the game but they are starting to ruin all the fun.
ONCE YOU GET YOUR OFFICE , THINGS LEVEL OFF QUICKLY GREAT SEARCH GAME , NONE BETTER , ENJOY.
Still no ad, its been days now. Please fix the sponsored ad. We cant go on like this. Its frustrating at this point! This has always been a childhood favorite of ours. The only issue here is that there has been no ad since l downloaded this game. Im almost deleting it out of frustration. Watching ads help with added energy for the game especially when you advance to higher levels. We have been deprived of juicy gifts all because we dont have the luxury of watching ads. Please fix this bug issue. Please.
Really enjoying this hidden objects game! Love the graphics & storyline.
We play until our energy is all used up 3 or 4 times a day.
We actually got this game to get points in another game from this developer (Mystery Society) but realized that we like this one better! We love the variety of activities available, mini games that dont rely on the energy points from the main game, an office to decorate, trading items with friends (or even random players if you want), trading items with in game characters, and completing tasks, ALL of which earn you points, items, coins, or energy! THE ADS ARE OPTIONAL! You can choose to watch them if you want a free hint, energy, coins, etc. Hats off to the developers on that decision! Its the catch more flies with honey than vinegar approach. REWARD you for watching ads instead of punishing you with them for playing their game. Im over here happily watching ads because we get a much needed hint or get to play just a bit longer with the extra energy. Im on level 16 and very happy with this game, ads and all! Update: On level 26 and have lost a good deal of enthusiasm for this game because we are not able to complete any of the tasks. We can play a scene over and over, level that scene up as far as it goes, and they almost never give us the items that we need to complete the the assigned tasks. We still level up in the game in general, but theres no joy in it when the achievables are impossible.
Ive played this game for awhile not but have never been able to play beyond the first two scenes with the exception of paying a visit to the Living Room and Abandoned Hospital both of which we had to pay game loot paid for by playing and watching ads. When we tap on different scenes, most of them are distant levels. Ive never really seen levels 3 thru 10 if they exist. If we want to play thr Living Room or Abandoned Hospital again, we have to pay more game loot. Ive played that forest and that room with the bed every way imaginable from pictures to words to shadows to guess what. Im actually beginning to wonder if the game is legit. We are considering uninstalling this app.
We say poor visual because we are older, our eyesight is not great. This game does not let you expand the scene to zoom. Also when we click on our hint button, nothing happens. Its doesnt point to item or encircle itbut we lose our hint. So we have deleted game through frustration.
We like playing this game but the advertisement that comes on is very disruptive.
Awesome game keep up the good work.
Fun to play. We could do without the ads and longer free playing time but still good.
Please fix a way to continue on working our way across our neighbors' icons w/o it always going back to the first one….every time. Also, can you put the neighbors' icon ON their office so we know which office it is we are on? We cannot keep track who we last visited b/c of that wonky shift back to the start echo time. Otherwise, we love the game. Still not fixed this yet, after several months of waiting. Also, please make a version where we are not racing against the clock to find everything. We just want to enjoy the search.
Ive enjoyed these hidden object games for years. We recently received much help from Rolltower support staff and just want to let them know how much we appreciate them. Thank you.
Good game but what made you use the unionjack flag instead of the American flag.
This is a fun hidden object game. However, the only in app purchase that worked was our first one 99 cents. The other three we did not get what we purchased. Apple has refunded two, and we will request a refund on the third. Other games are not a problem. We still have the game because we like it. Just wanted to give you feed back on the in app purchase problem.
This game fun hard to see on a phone But all they want is your Money we paid alot for our phone . Not paying for games! SICK of Snoop Dog trying to get kids to play Black Out Bing w PayPal!!! Disgusting.
We only downloaded this to get gems for linking to another game, but it's actually a pretty fun game.
We paid to have the ads removed, either the come back quickly or don't disappear at all. What happened to when you pay to have ads removed that we still have to deal with them.
We have been trying for days to buy gems, wont let us, want to be able to play game any more. Help, help.
When some of the programs to receive extra time, gems, medallions, and other special items the program or app freezes & you can't play.
When we try to enlarge screen things start jumping around so cant find objects playing on a new iPad.
The game is fun and addicting he game is fun and addicting.
We really enjoy this game. Not an easy one though.
We love this game! Some scenes are very easy, yet others can be very challenging! Once we start playing, we cant stop, and find ourselves playing for hours.
Game will not allow us to zoom in to search areas as is possible in Mystery Society. Objects are too difficult to find on an IPhone if zooming not possible.
The game closes frequently for no reason and after ads the orientation will flip causing you to need to continue rotating your phone . Wish it was better. An.
This game is quite fun, but frustrating when it comes to requesting gifts from friends. There is no way to do that because when you click on an item the request screen pops up but does not offer any friends to request the items from. This despite the fact that the game shows we have 75 friends. We wanted to include a screen shot in the review, but its not possible. C. Orchard.
Have to open about 6x each time we attempt to play the game as it crashes every time. That alone is very aggravating. Uses to much of the energy which of course limits your time playing the game and also takes to long for the energy to rebuild. Could use some work to become a potential great game.
Their other game with the exact same mechanics works much better.
….was good until it stopped giving us the things we paid for….requested a refund and was told we wasn't eligible.
We can play this game on our Kindle fire, but the app keeps crashing on our IPad.
This game is fun, but constantly crashes. It took us over 20 minutes just to get it to stay on so we could play. This really needs to get fixed.
Ok, fun time waste when you have time.
Every time we start playing it kicks us out every time.
Overall the game is working well, but it wont let us zoom in or out and periodically kicks us off. Graphics are good. Lots of fun puzzles.
Love this game but it frequently freezes and disappears taking the energy youve just spent with it. Not cool.
Better instructions are needed.
