Community Insight:
We would like to purchase the relaxed version but am unable to make an in-app purchase.
Love the game but have finished all the levels! When will more be added.
We play this nearly every day and Ive had it for nearly a year. There are enough scenes that you dont always remember where everything is. This is probably the best hidden object game Ive ever had. And its completely free! BUTwhen will the Spain venue come available? The app has been displaying Coming Soon for the entire time Ive been playing it. (Not meant as a complaint – just a hint!).
Very challenging, which is a good thing. Thank you for the free game.
Our wife and we play together. Love the fact that they keep up dating the app with new locations. If you like hidden object games without some ridiculous story, this is the one.
Bright graphics. Quite challenging.
Just started the game so far entertaining.
We really like this game, but whenever we finish one it goes from ENGLISH, back to another language and we can't change it. Just did this again. We can't get it to stay on English. We also paid for NO Ads. It would be nice to be able to play it! We can only play it ONCE, then it WILL NOT go back to English! Please fix this as we love playing this game, but can't play only once in 24 hours. HELP.
We really like this game. Interesting and relaxing. However, we paid $6.99 for no ads and unlimited hints but am still having to watch ads to get hints. Please fix this.
This game is fun. A few days ago it started having a problem. We can play one game, and then the screen goes black, and the game closes. Its hard to play and spend $2 for hints when this is happening.
We wish that we could zoom in more so that we can see the items. Im 55 years old and wear glasses, but by no means blind, but we still cant see some of the items, so Im disappointed.
Items to find very small and the picture is dark.
They put the menu of things to find on top of the puzzle so you cant see under the menu to find items. Soon going to delete this one.
We liked it at first . Then we paid for it but got nothing so we dont even know why theres an option to pay. We thought it was for hints but when we need a hint it asks for mote money or we have to watch an ad. We feel like we got ripped off.
Was going to play this but we play games to relax and this is a timed game! We can pay $7.00 to play in relaxed mode but why should we?? Make this a relaxed mode game and we will gladly play but until then we are out.
We purchase the 10 clues and only receive two. Tired of getting cheated.
We wish we could enlarge the picture because we cant see the items. It could be a fun game we think if we could make the questionable items bigger.
We dont like the timer. To get rid of it, we have to pay. No thanks.
Game continues to crash, causing it to start all over again from the beginning.
We really like the game. So we wanted to open more Search places, also wanted to take timer off .. Paid our money the ruby when away but we can not disengage the timer nor has any of the other search areas have opened fix the problem or give us our money back SassyShirl59.
Our 10 year grandson and we played this game every evening, it hards to stop playing. Best hidden object game Ive found, were so sad its completed.
But does not enlarge enough for those of us who cannot see well.
We like the game, BUT despise having a commercial after each game. Is there a way to eliminate or cancel ads. Otherwise, this game will be deleted. Please respond.
We wanted a hidden object game, no story, just look for things. In this game you have a scene. First you find objects by name, then by silhouette, and then they scramble the names of the objects. We saw some skates, we could not figure out the jumbled rollerblades. The jumble version took all the hidden object fun out of it. Should be an option to not have this be a difficult word game. Deleted.
Believe all of the negative reviews! If you enjoy watching ads, incessantly, this is the app for you. There is an ad after every game. That means it takes about 10-20 seconds to play the game, followed by a 30-45 second ad. We completely understand that they have to make money, via ads, but this is ridiculous. If you like hidden objects games, play Junes Journey. At least with that game you only have to watch ads, if you want certain advantages/access, but you are not forced to watch them, to play the game.
We just started playing this game which is a lot of fun. But theres a bug in game. In game #7, we found the grapes in the picnic basket on the left side of the picture. But it wont accept our tap to win the games. Ive lost several games do to this. Its very frustrating and then we have to wait minutes to replay the games that Ive lost. Please fix this bug so we can move on in our game.
Would love game if it didnt lock up every third game played.
We paid $7.99 for this and had gotten quite far. Then last night entire format changed. Cant enlarge scene, have to play what is given to go any further, and now playing against imaginary people. Dont waste your money. And now twice we get to Level 105 and it locks up so you have to start over again. Not happy.
We dont know what everybody is seeing in this game, but if you buy it, the cost wont stop there. You have to BUY coins to get hints, you have to BUY coins to get the magnifying glass, or you cant enlarge the picture. You can get coins if you watch ads for more games they want you to buy. Forget it there are better games out there. If we could give this one negative stars, we would.
This is only a hidden object game, nothing else! No story lines nothing else for you to do but find objects! Perfect! Im waiting for new cities! Update July 2021 This game changed a while back from a single person game to playing against other people. We didnt like it at first but now its okay. But we have now played all 105 levels and have to wait for more. Please release more levels soon.
We dont like the way this game is played. We like the old game.
We hate the tournament version and paid for the previous version. Give us the option to revert back or refund.
No way to zoom in, the tournament play is the only option, cannot chose the city to search . We loved the old game, but not the update.
We too paid for the game and the same scenes keep repeating. And never would have made the purchase if it advised that hints arent included! That is absurd. UPDATE: everything resolved and enjoyable…then this awful update we bought the original and do not wish for your changes. Bad move on your part.
We loved this game so much. We paid for it. Now this new update doesnt allow the original game we bought. We could easily win in tournament mode, HOWEVER some items are behind the name plates to the left making it completely impossible to tap on the items. Im frustrated. PLEASE provide a menu option to play the original game as well. Please please please.
We bought the game for the previous version. The current update only allows for tournament play and its ridiculous. Also there are so many ads. Im not sure why we have to watch ads if we paid for the game. This is not the game we bought. It is completely different.
We enjoyed this – despite not being perfect – and then for no apparent reason the format changed to a tournament. We played a few times and it was terrible. Off to the trash bin with this app.
The latest update ruined this game ! Bring back the old version.
We were happy with this game and purchased the no ads version, and now all of a sudden all we get is a tournament version. HATE THIS. If we knew they would do this, we would have kept our money and put up with the ads. What a way to scam people.
We loved this game until the update hit. We dont like playing against other people. We used to like to be able to choose which city we wanted to play. The Spain update new city never came. Going to uninstall a game we used to really enjoy.
Bought the full version and was so entertained by it. We played all the available cities and started to replay some cities. The game progresses thru the 3 stages for each city. Once we completed a city it no longer progresses to another. It goes to a blank dark screen. We have to close the game and then restart it. The game used to go to a new scene after completing a city. Frustrating.
This is the most awesome hidden object game Ive ever played. We love that each level is played in three different modes. The scenes are so beautiful, very colorful and bright. The absolute best is No Timer. This game is so worth the cost (6.99). You start out with 5 hints, but need to purchase more if needed. We discovered that if you cant find an item (s) you can actually re-start the level. We keep doing this until we progress through the level, so we never need to purchase hints. Some of the best graphics Ive seen. This game is perfect for those who just want a fun, relaxing game. No energy to earn, no contests/competition, no chaos. Just fun. We would love to see a game like this with a Food theme. BRAVO to the Developer. DeeRose Sept 24 2020.
This game has mediocre graphics which makes difficult to see things in small detail. We reluctantly use the hint feature, only it did not highlight anything!! Way to ruin something thats supposed to be fun and relaxing.
Should have option to disable timeouts.
First try making items match the names you give them, second dont know what other reviewers said, this is timed. Third chintzy on the hints. Even with magnifying glass many items are impossible to find in the minimal time given. Bottom line this app stinks. Deleted.
Bought the upgrade, now the game will not show in English….. Please advise.
Game is fun but there have been no new scenes in weeks even though we paid for them. Whats up.
We paid for the game and we still have to pay for hints or watch an add . When we pay for the game we expect to own the game with no additional fees.
Old bad eyes,time limit is not good.
We paid for this game and it doesnt seem to have unlocked any new cities. Same ones over and over. Plus we only get the word scramble or silhouette. Wheres the support? Delete this app! Its a rip off! The screen goes black after each level. You then have to restart the app. If you try to delete and re-download it takes you back to the very beginning. They told us to contact Apple and get our money back. Where is their integrity, they have none, just ripping off people one at a time.
