Community Insight:
Hidden object games are our absolute favorite type of game so we are glad to have found this one. We will definitely be buying more of these.
We have the entire Park Ranger series, and they are great fun to do. We like finding the wildlife and picking up trash something different! The scenery is pretty and the music is pleasant. We like that you dont have to go to some website to figure out where to go or what to do next, which is annoying. But Im also glad we dont in real life turn our national parks into Disneyworlds! Understandable here, though, as with 16 games the originators have to come up with something new. Id love to see a few more Park Ranger gameswell worth the priceand we highly recommend.
We really love the challenges we love the Rangers and we also played the cruise ship we wish you guys please come up with some more we happen to find a Halloween one we wish you guys would come up with some more though these puzzles are very interesting thank you very much Im gonna keep on playing.
We really like this game! You have to pay for it, but you can play it over and over. We love the mixture of games, including hidden objects, jigsaw, word search, etc.. The graphics are great and love the storyline! We own all the games cant wait for number 15.
Like the game so much we bought it.
We love these games hope they continue to make them.
Nice game! Some of the names given to items arent the American version, such as marrow instead of squash, and so forth, but since these games apparently arent developed in the US, we have to get used to that. But the scenes are enjoyable, searching for trash is something different, and even the soundtrack is pleasant and appropriate.
We love playing these games, we just wish we could get 7 8 and 9 on our IPad with the rest that we play.
When we want to unwind with a game, we dont need a convoluted story line and to be interrupted with making groups and leveling up energy. This is a beautiful game with just enough difficulty and variety to keep it interesting and calming.
Loved these games on our pc years back. Glad they are available for we-pad. Minor point: Please make sure American English is used everywhere… We are not really familiar with some of the British terms-or perhaps have forgotten their meanings.
We like this game because it doesnt force us in reading a much of dialogue or doing quests.
Love the graphics and the gameplay of this entire series! Thanks for the fun.
We absolutely love these games. The graphics are great.
We really enjoy this series. Its very relaxing, good cuz we usually play before Bedtime. So if we get wired up trying to figure something out, itll take awhile to get to sleep. We also like the sound effects, especially when garbage is thrown into the can. What can we say, we have simple pleasures One of the best parts is finding the garbage and the silhouetted items behind the little door. We love finding Easter eggs. Well, this isnt quite the same but we hope you get our point. Our only frustration is your website says ranger 3 will be coming soon. Which its said for a LONG time. Any hints about when it might be available for the iPad.
So good to find games that dont involve strange mysteries or backstories. We enjoy looking for the objects and playing the puzzles for relaxation, and this game is just right for that. Not super easy but not frustrating and complicated. A good balance with nice graphics.
The graphics are not crisp. Some items are hidden behind the inventory sign.
Well, you outdid yourself on this one! We think your best.
We have been enjoying all of your games for several years. We're middle aged and your games offer great themes, so many scenes per game, and many other activities with just the right amount of difficulty. They are fun to play again each year. Please make more and keep them all up to date with iOS upgrades. Thanks to all of you.
We love the game we have all five in the package its also good to play with the children.
Im a big @Casual Arts Hidden Object (HOG) game fan, and regular user on our desktop iMac and Mac Book Pro. We own most of their HOG games, and cant get enough of them. This Park Ranger version for our iPhone is a little trickier to use due to its smaller screen size, but it still packs plenty of enjoyment when we get @Casual Arts cravings when away from home. Cant say enough good things about this company, and their HOG games. Once you try them, youre hooked.
We highly recommend this game. It has hidden objects, puzzles and so much more. Ideal for kids and adults. Hope they make more for the iPad as they dont work on our Kindle.
We enjoyed the game, one particularly good for when waiting somewhere. The only, extremely minor complaints that we have are [1] This game seems to be set in the US, but some of the items carry their British names, particularly at the beginning of the game, and [2] twice, on different levels, the game would not recognize one of the classes of item, or make multiple attempts to end the level before all choices had been made.
The games are very well done and the scenes are very beautiful; well worth the money. Hope you continue making games like these. Thank you.
So glad to see these games on ipad. Love these games on our mac. Now get the rest of the Park Ranger and Cruise Director series on the ipad.
This game is very addictive Gina G.
We like playing this game. It is interesting and challenging. But we were disappointed that you advertised that it was free but after we got into it we had to pay for it. That is false information. If you are going to require us to buy it make it up front.
We were playing these games when they very first came out for the desk top and bought them then. Now they are available on our iPad BUT at $4.99 EACH, we cannot afford to re-purchase them. The games themselves are awesome! Love the graphics and just the right difficulty. They are engaging and fun to play. Please, please lower the price. Seniors on S.S. Cannot afford all of them.
We have this game on our PC and we love it. Game doesnt work as well on our iPad; for instance, touching a crushed can does not always result in the can moving to the recycle bin.
Good hidden object game. Its fun to have the occasional different puzzle games. Only problem we have is some hidden objects occasionally dont respond when touched. This issue rarely happens.
We have this game on our pc, where we enjoy it immensely! However, we are a bit frustrated with it on our iPad. Freezes, plus some items cant be gotten, because they cant be touched, or they just dont respond to being touched. Also, we bought this game for our pc, why do we have to repurchase it for our iPad. Plus, Im trying to purchase it, but it keeps giving us the screen for the password, instead of providing us a way to purchase it.
We enjoy all the games put out by Casual Arts, but we do agree with some of the other reviews, They are advertised as free, but just a couple screens in, you have to pay $4.99 to continue. And you can easily finish the game in one sitting, so the money seems like a loss.
We found this game is great for your mind and building memory. Beautiful images as well. Pretty easy to figure out. Not sure what all our points offer us as we move along. Got to where you couldnt play anymore unless you purchased the app. Not sure if we will based on other reviews. Was fun while it lasted! Thanks for the entertainment.
The gam is fun but free should be just that free.
This is a fun game but to start playing and then to be asked to pay five bucks to play the whole game when the whole thing should be free is crazy. Now we can't even get the game to play on.
Like it. Like it better on our PC.
Enjoy all the park ranger games.
Kind of expensive for the length of the game.
Recently we were told that in order to go on with the game we would need to purchase it. We paid for the game and now we cant go any farther . Its asking us to replay the games we already did to get a better score. Why is that? If we pay for a game we are expecting to play numerous new adventures.
Crashed and lost all progress and had to start all over again.
Too many puzzles not enough hidden objects , wasnt worth the money Sorry.
We love these types of games but they have problems we are playing park ranger right now and it wont let us pick the trash. Some of them wont let us zoom in. Just numerous problems with each game.
We enjoyed playing enough to pay the $5 for the complete game. BIG MISTAKE! Only one extra screen is offered for that price. Definitely not worth it.
We have paid twice for the same game and it will not let move on. The company is struggling with technical problems.
It's alright. Not quite like we expected. Friends told us how fun it was, we're still waiting for the fun.
It is a fun little game granted, but to discover we paid five bucks for one crumby screen of play was disappointing. We have played free games that went on forever, this one you can complete in a day. Not getting the other ones, going to kiss our money goodbye and delete this one after a couple days. Been here, done this, bored.
We paid and sadly only got a few day's worth of games! This should be a free game! We wish to be reimbursed. Would of beenlovely but you only have about 35 sets. Disappointing.
Its a fun game but didnt like how we had to pay 5 dollars for a game we can finish in one day Wont get any more of these.
We always liked playing this game on our 3DS. Glad to see you have a new version of this. We only had this one. Keep them coming Update: Fix this. You had 5 stars. It don't save an it gets stuck and we keep having to replay from level one. We also want our $4.99 refund mainly cause you broke it with the update an furthermore the game icon is black.
A very enjoyable game! We love hidden objects games but find so many now are dark and mystical, which isn't our style. This game is bright, cheerful and a wonderful find! We can't wait to try the other games. Thank you for this fun app.
Great graphics and interesting puzzles. Colors are cheerful. Adds a nice touch to summer time play time.
