I’m level 110, so I’ve been playing the game for a while now. I really enjoy it! I’m really sad to say that I won’t be playing it anymore. I know that won’t matter all that much to the developers since I don’t spend a whole lot of money on it …I’m just sad that they don’t pay any attention to their loyal player’s suggestions. I have asked several times that they not FORCE me to use a gift on their time …but to put it in my inventory and let me use it when I have time! Today is just one more example of that. They start a new “quest” every month…so that’s great …but every month they start that quest by giving you 60 minutes of free power…which sounds awesome ..right? Well not when their update takes 45 minutes or more to load … so you click on a room to enter and it pops up with sorry we are updating …and to add insult to injury, they then start the new quest …which includes an additional 30 minutes of free play …but again it’s useless because instead of letting you “claim” it later when you have time and the game has finished it’s update they force you to accept it before you can continue…so even though I enjoy the game, I’m done and now looking for a new one!

I’m 66 years old and addicted to this game. It helps my memory, my attention to detail, but it does nothing to help my wallet! It wouldn’t let me highlight a star, but it’s a five. Thank you for hours of entertainment! On this second comment of this game after 3 years of playing, I still love it, but maybe an Alzheimer’s button for those of us who can’t remember the boards of every book? 🧐 Also, the commentary on the stories requires knowledge of the books to make sense of what of what is being said. As an adult knowing these books I can make sense of it; although, it is out there. The time between engaging between commentary of where everyone is in the books lacks cohesion for me. I was a teacher and wonder if kids read and follow the discourse for each book? I will continue to play the game. I don’t look to demean the writer of the commentary, but a lean away from trying to create one’s own story using the characters might be better enjoyed and followed if, somehow, after each board played or each event opened were a continuous story. I have no idea how that would be done. Just a thought. Good luck. I’ll still play.

I’ve been playing this game a lot for months now. The choice of hidden-object or match-3 is an attractive feature. The art is consistently excellent, as are the stories that advance the game. The in-game economy is quite complex (where you need to earn items in one area to gain access to another). A number of other reviews claim that the player must spend real-world money to buy crystals, and that these are essential to advance. This is absolutely not true. The game gives beginning players lots of crystals, but they become more scarce as the player progresses in skill. The game is VERY challenging at higher levels but is still possible to play for free. I have made only one small in-app purchase of a few dollars and am still progressing, but you can expect to need to develop your skills. I want to praise the developer for its responsiveness. I found one genuine bug, a single hidden object that could not be successfully found, and I reported it. In less than 2 days, the developer responded that they had confirmed the bug and would correct it in the next update, and sent a workaround that would allow me to keep playing until the fix was applied. Exemplary!
