Life in Hollywood isn't easy, and Maggie has her work cut out for her this time!
Your favorite director is back in the time management game Maggie’s Movies – Second Shot! After the box office success of her indie movie Prohibited Love, Maggie is now directing a feature film, Immense Darkness. But in Hollywood, you’re only as good as your last movie so the pressure is on.
Maggie is finding the stress of directing a major motion picture a little too much for one person to handle. Actors with egos the size of the screen, a co-director who takes MORE of Maggie’s time and the looming shadow of “make or break” combine to make Maggie’s job even more difficult. If this film isn’t a success, Maggie’s benefactor is out of a job.
What she needs is someone with time management skills! Are you game? Can you help her with the myriad tasks she has to perform? They will include directing actors, assisting the crew as well as arranging every detail of the sets from a pirate ship down to flowers!
As if this weren’t enough, Maggie’s father is busy taking Pulitzer Prize-winning photographs in the most dangerous, war-torn areas of the world. Maggie wishes he would also make time to be a dad to her.
Can Maggie juggle everything that’s going on and reconnect with her father? With your help, she just might make it.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Didnt think we would like this game, but, we must admitI Do.
Challenging and really fun to play. Love Game House games.
This game is really fun. It was challenging with new mini games and you can watch the ads to enjoy playing the whole game. Instead of being forced to pay after so many levels.
This game is great and has great graphics. The thing we like most are the challenges.
Really good game we love it so much graduations to whoever made this game.
Why are the ads cut in half? Only half is on the screen. Very frustrating.
Story is great, graphics are great but game function is not so great. Items are hard to pick up, game play instructions are unclear, flow meter is pointless and a few of the extra challenges are impossible. Based on other reviews & our experience playing the game, they must have completely ignored beta test feedback. We gladly plunked down $9.99 & dont regret it, but am finding the game a little frustrating.
We like the game but we do not like how the one black woman character is portrayed at all. Its very cringy.
As all sequels are, n3ver as good as the first but this one is way off and buggy.
We love the game but hate that we have to pay to finish it :(.
This is not a review, but it is a game idea we would like to see you guys make. Could you please try to make a daycare themed game we feel like that would be great. Another idea is maybe an artist. These are just ideas so you dont have to do them, just thought they would be fun.
We thought this was a great game. Other people have said, the flow meter levels are hard. We had to play a couple of times before we beat them. Whats frustrating for us was we did finish the game, but the very last challenge level was unbeatable. It was a flow meter challenge. Even when we served all of the customers and the game said day over the flow meter kept running and we would get try again even if we broke the 3500 point requirement for the level. If there are no more customers, the flow meter should stop. We played that level for a solid hour and a half before we gave up and deleted the game. Other than that glitch, it was a fun game with a great story. We enjoyed it immensely. It was a long game that took time to complete. It was fairly easy to get three stars on every level and earn the diamonds.
We enjoyed the first set of games which were free. We purchased the next 20 games which we are unable to access no matter what we do. The Restore Purchase selection does not seem to work at all and attempting to purchase the item again (as indicated in the game developers reply in another review) does nothing. Dont waste your money on this app. If you purchase it, consider your money as a donation to the developer as you will get nothing in return. Highly disappointed.
Game keeps crashing…. Have to close the game and restart it too many times. We finally just game up. Shame because this was one of the more interesting games in their catalog.
Bought the game and cant play past level 10. It keeps saying it will restore our purchase, but nothing changes. Super disappointing that your games seem too all have issues anymore.
We feel terrible that so many people had issues playing this game. We had no glitches at all. It was one of the smoothest games Ive played. We like Maggie. We were a little disappointed that she was so intense in this one – instead of her sweet self… We suppose stress will do that to you though! We hope you will make more!!! Maybe she can travel all around the World, and make movies! Europe, New Zealand, Japan…!!! Loved the story line in this one too ! Thank you everyone, for all your hard work making Maggie2. Your fan, NikKa.
Love it. We havent had any problems.
We have been playing all of the games from Emily, Angela, Cathy, the flight games, The Love Boat, Hearts Medicine and this game is not fun. We dont want to play it anymore.
We very upset we were playing the game and enjoyed so we purchased the full game but it want let us we also sent in support and no one has contact us and it been 24 hour or more.
This seems like a fun game except it kept crashing during levels 1-10 randomly. We decided after level 10 to go ahead and purchase the whole game. It charged us and took our only but never loaded correctly. It will not let us play level 11 on. We tried reloading the game, restoring the game checked to make sure purchase went through but the game will not allow us to play level 11. We played level 1-10 even though it kept crashing and we would have to start the level over that we were on. We are trying to get a refund because they dont seem to be able to get the game to work for us, but no one is returning our emails any more. We would not recommend buying the game until they fix their problems and people start having better luck with this game.
This game is super slow. This makes it frustrating to play.
So bummed. Keeps crashing and brings us to our home page. We got so fed up that we just un-installed it. It is not our ipad, not our wi-fi, nothing to do with IOS….so, that means it is the GAME itself. Disappointing indeed.
Amo estos juegos pero especficamente en este no lo puedo jugar ya que desde el nivel uno se us cierra el juego y vuelvo a abrirlo y us pasa lo mismo,ojal lo solucionen pronto para poder jugarlo.
We have absolutely no idea what all the negative reviews are about! This game played smoothly for us with no crashing whatsoever. Same adorable characters, cute plot, and fun gameplay! The only reason we gave it 4 stars is because that flow meter thing is just absolutely hateful, and the last challenge level is completely impossible to win even on easy mode. Fix that, and itll be 5 stars all the way.
Was excited about this game. We love game house. However lately all the newer games that are coming out keep crashing. We know that you just put out an update for Maggie. We actually got to level two after the update. Now it freezes and crashes. We cant even get past the second level. Please fix. We really like your games. However we may pull our subscription beacause we can no longer play the new releases due to crashing issues.
Hi we enjoy playing this game but sometime the game just goes out and it exits out from the game. This is an frustrated game because we have to replay this level again. We enjoy it so far but this is not great. Please help we are really looking forward for this game thank you.
We are very disappointed in this game. We are very angry too. We just downloaded this game and we cannot even play game #1 because IT KEEPS CRASHING!!!!! We love these type games and can usually overlook some glitches and problems but this is ridiculous.
We cant even get through the opening scene…really bummed bc we typically love gamehouse games.
We see we had to update to report issues. We did that. We tried to play again…. STILL CRASHES. Im really upset. We love these games. Use to help our anxiety, now it intensifies it. HELP.
Once again, a complete mess of a game from Gamehouse. It deserves no stars. We used to look forward to all of their games but the quality and consistency isnt there anymore. This game crashed the first time after the introduction, second time couldnt even finish first level. We never buy Gamehouse games anymore before trying them out. They are too unreliable. This was another disappointment. Im sure we will get some computer generated reply to send them information and then nothing will be done about it. Sigh.
Thanks for another great Maggie game. Im a couple of levels in and so far so good.
We may be missing something but we are unable to make additional smoothies in the second chapter.
We want to really enjoy this game, but after each level it exits us out of the game. We never experienced this with the first one.
Keeps messing up! Please fix! Looks like a good game.
We havent even made it past first level without exiting we have the membership and almost not worth it we play on a iPad iOS is 12.4.3 and up to date disappointing. We emailed the information so obviously this is a useless generated message why pay for the subscription if all games have an issue.
For money we pay you monthly we kind of expect the games to allow us to get through the first dang level without being thrown out of the game six times before we decided to forget it. Im using an iPad mini iOS 13. Im not going to detail everything in an email. Your people responding to this can forward the information. It crashes during level one. Never at the same point. Im getting to where Im considering stopping our membership and calling it a day.
Im very irritated because Ive been waiting forever for this game to come out and no we cant even play it because it keeps closing on the first level we pay a subscription and we cant stress enough that we cant play it at all because of this issue.
We have played the first level 5 times and it has crashed and not awarded the stars every time. Test your new games more. For a loyal player, we are getting tired of these errors.
We cant even finish the first level before it shuts down.
This game keeps shutting down. We cant get past #1 of the game. Please fix.
