The Head of the Order, Aaron Hildegard, has been betrayed and kidnapped by his own brother! The kingdom has been overrun by beasts. But the Prophecy states that one day the chosen hero will come to the rescue of the once great Order, wielding an ancient weapon of great power to turn the tides of war!

Community Insight:
We enjoy this game, but currently, if we view the ad for Final Fantasy XV, A New Empire, after the ad is done, it gives no option to exit back to our actual game. We can download FFXV, which we dont want, and nothing else. We only view the ads to get extra rewards or enter rooms, so when this happens, we lose the thing we were going for. We think an issue such as this is why we stopped playing some time ago. Also, please learn to spell lose and a few other things. Seeing You will loose whatever constantly makes us crazy.
10/29/19 Requirements say it works on our phone, but it locks up on opening scene.
We cant get our game to open up. It just goes to a black screen. Ive turned our iPad off and restarted it. That usually fixes a problem like this. But it didnt . Please help we love to play the game.
They freeze our game and we have to reboot all the time. Other ads dont seem to do that. We cant find anyplace except for here to write a comment. Otherwise its a fun game.
Love hidden picture games this looks fun but as soon as we saw the shadow pictures we were done bad eyes Im older and cant do.
Guys, we were so happy when we started playing this game as an alternative from gardens of time … However in the recent past… You guys keep raising the amount of gold it takes to get one item for a collection by at least three times each , then decrease only to increase again the amount of silver it costs to play a scene in the airship… And on top of that add no new missions in the last 6 months … Ive had the same collection missions that we completed on our own before they even started no other quests .. That s ridiculous it makes not even want to play it anymore please change either the amount of collection items needed or the price of each… Thank you.
This game is entertaining and sometimes challenging.
Just started playing so far so good.
We love this game. The only problem is when we go to the Butlers room it gives us the Living Room. We even deleted it and started over and it didn't help. Am we the only one that is having this problem.
Like others we have played in the past.
We don't play a lot of games but we find this one pretty fun…LOTS of ads.
Often cheats you of things you found! Fun when it is honest.
This game is actually fun and it's not very complicated.
Not bad :) finding the objects is easy but everything else it comes with is kinda fun.
Our progress is not saving n we are unable to sign in with FB.
On the rooms where you have a small area of light it is difficult to zoom in on the room making it hard to find objects. And the instructions for everything are in tiny font so it is difficult to read. Otherwise the game is fun to play.
We just started, but we like the story line. It let's you move through pretty quickly, thereby keeping the action going. It allows you to earn enough rewards that you're not being nickeled and dimed to death. Will add more after we've played longer.
So far, this game has been really fun.
So far so good, we hope more rooms open up.
Fun game, but even when we press on the right hidden object, we still get time removed, or we have to tap it 3-4 times before it gets picked up. Annoying…. Other than that it is a pretty entertaining game.
This game is beautiful, but has major flaws. Most tasks require at least 30 energy points, which take 5 minutes to earn 1. So, a 30 task means 150 wait time, while the task takes less than a minute to complete. Also, we have touched on an object we know is correct, only to get marked down incorrect. The game will also prompt you to complete tasks you cannot preform.
Love killing monsters and finding the items. Some tasks are super easy others seem ridiculously hard. It evens out for us. Keeps us interested.
Waste of time. Terrible game… Last update, version 3.1.1, made game even worse. Now when you successfully find items your reward never posts, & daily bonus for dedicated players is greatly diminished. (we probably used words the writers won't even understand.) not even a 1 star. Don't bother with this one. You search for items that are not on the screen until you pay for a tool to find them. Also, since when is a bow (and arrow) an onion, or a garbage can an urn? This game has you searching for things that don't list the proper name. Don't believe the high ratings. You will be bribed to write a "good review".
Each time an update comes in the gold keeps disappearing. We had leveled up and had over 350 gold and we lost it with the update and game rest to level 1. Started playing again from beginning and each day gold disappears. The mode does not shift from day to night etc. Is this game even tested before releasing? Do something dev team and correct the game.
Enjoyable, challenging, good graphics & characters. Makes you want to keep playing.
We had 52000 and 40 or 50 other money. Lost all of it. Have no way to contact them. This is just wrong!!!!! GOING TO DELETE THIS RIP OFF GAME.
We really like this game, but we have some questions for tech support. We can't seem to find a forum, email address or even a page on Facebook to reach them. However, we are enjoying playing this game.
Good game but a little confusing.
All points wiped out after a year, find another game, this ones a ripoff.234.
After playing for a few months and having all rooms open we lost everything with the upgrade today.
After 2 years of playing this, there was just an upgrade and now we have lost everything! All our collections, gold, money, points, ratings for each level !!!!!! This is not fair.
We will give more stars if we get the chest back. We bought the one for 15 gold coins and clicked on "use". That is the last we saw of it or anything in it.
We love the game it's frustrating we need help it keeps scratching your head.
Love this game really test our memory.
To play this game more challenging and concentration required. We love to play this.
This is a great HOG game! U have 2 level up (get a highly score) in order 2 go in other room! Some of the objects r hard 2 find which makes it better than most HOG's where everything is spotted the moment u enter a room! Only 1 thing we don't like about it is when u get rid of a monster etc. Roaming around, more show up.
Just started the game…good tutorial. So far, so good.
Enjoying this game , not to sure what we're doing though lol . Still it's a challenge.
Just started, no news yet! Sorry.
Great on computer….too small for iPhoneo.
So far, we have had some fun playing but we haven't played long enough.
This game has a lot of challenges. If you like hidden objects and quests you will love this game. We're still learning how to play. Each level is a challenge.
Gee, players get to find the same four objects in every room. How excitingly challenging–NOT! Killing the floating beasts, then having to tap on all of the stuff earned, is boring as all heck. Very humdrum game. Graphics for the rooms are great, but ALL other graphics are cheaply rendered. Brilliant idea to make the rooms too dark! Honestly, that's a bit much.
Tried to play on our phone, but when the very second room we tried was in night mode with very poor illumination, especially when zoomed, it was impossible to play. The text was in poorly written (or poorly translated) English as well. Deleted it within five minutes of first opening the game.
We like this game but all of a sudden it quit recharging our time. We had to uninstall it to fix it.
Fun game to play. Will get addicted quickly.
We like the combination of the games within this game.
Fun fun fun thanks! Great game.
It is fast an challenging game.
We're only on level 5, but enjoying it. Pretty standard hidden objects game.
