Castle Secrets: Hidden Object for Negative User Reviews

Still needs work..has become dissapointing!I started playing this when it first came out. It was simple and fun. Since they have "improved" the game, it is a mess! The artwork is better, but they call a clock a watch, such is the English language of the game, and some objects are called things, that aren't even related to the object itself! Twice I have had 9 stones to enter the Sorceresses room, then on the 10th, I go in, and they are GONE! Sloppy. If these things aren't fixed soon, I am getting rid of it! A day later, and I now lose red stones EVERY TIME I leave the game and come back! Plus, I was a level 50, been dropped to a 40! Totally done with this bushwah! Im giving it one more day, and if it isnt fixed, the app is toast... I am taking it off! ):.Version: 1.2.1

OkHard to figure out how to unlock the other rooms without actually having to spend money. You do not advance on levels. Some rooms state clear 25 or clear 15 levels to unlock, however at level 52 those rooms are still locked..Version: 1.0.4

Fun but....This game could excellent but it misses the mark. In large part to how long it takes for energy to recover and how much energy it costs to explore. I really loved this game at first and was really excited when I was leveling up, but now I don't want to. Why you ask.. Because as you level up you get more energy. You would think that's good except it also costs a lot more energy to enter rooms. So even with more energy, I don't get to explore more than before, and it takes like 3x longer for my energy to fill so I have to wait longer in between turns of play. It's just making me not want to play the game much anymore. :-(.Version: 1.4.1

Okay, so this is getting irritating!!I did enjoy the game until the last couple of updates took away the ability to hold onto the ruby's needed to visit the sorceresses room. Every time you win the gems needed and leave the game, because you have run out of energy, then come back to the game, the gems are gone. And if you buy gems to visit the sorceresses room, you better use all of the gems right then and there because if you get interrupted and have to leave the game, you loose the gems you bought also. Besides loosing gems the items needed in order to trade your collections also disappear when you leave the game, so you can not trade your collections in!! It is all very frustrating that now about all you can do with this game is just find the objects in the rooms!!.Version: 1.2.2

The good and the badI really like the game, keeps you interested, and has lots of continued play. However I have purchased 50 rubies for 35 gold twice now (of which I paid real money for the gold) and both times after going to the Sorceress' room one time (that cost only 10 rubies) the game shuts down...and when I restart the game, all 50 of the rubies are gone. The fact that you pay real money for certain things in the game, and then a glitch takes away what you've bought...this is very disappointing and does not make me want to continue purchasing anything..Version: 1.2.1

Lots of funThe concept is great and it's easy to play. A couple of improvements are needed though - 1. Night mode can be difficult to navigate when you are zoomed in 2. Game does freeze at times which is really disruptive PLEASE FIX!!!.Version: 1.2.2

Mystery CastleFantastic graphics. Otherwise pathetic. Initially loved it but money grabbing takes over and game with it's enjoyment completely stalled. What a shame!! Items disappear. Tapping randomly fails to register, time expires without registering actions taken within time and items are inaccurately tagged. More a frustration than a pleasure. Forget it..Version: 1.2.2

Fun gameIt was good when I was completing the tasks but now I don't get anything. I complete the rooms like the cellar and armoury and get nothing. It's become very boring, what the point of playing a game and getting no rewards to finish collections, you need to fix it. Even the attic gives nothing. The crypt and other room is hard to get to unless I spend a lot of money, this game is getting to the point of me stopping playing it. Make it FUN again!.Version: 1.4.0

FreezerFreezes a LOT. Needs reboots a lot and so it's to slow to get into this Game, and it has no in contact maker for support. Needs more work, like "RavenHill" it's also a downer that so many in app purchase are in your face, if you like that you'll be able to finish the game, but if you don't, it just drags on and get the game partly.Version: 1.4.5

Free game that isn't freeOnce again a game that is "free", but if you actually want to play for more than 10 mins in a day, you have to pay for more life. £2.99 for a top up that lasts another 10 mins! I would rather pay for the game in the first place rather than be ripped off during the game. Lots of objects' names have been translated incorrectly which results in having to randomly click on objects consequently wasting time and there is nothing to indicate when a task is complete..Version: 1.3.1

Not worth the $This game is about finding the missing object and in this respect the game is ok the graphics are quite pleasing and the mini games gradually get harder. The images are tiny however and not easily selected making game play really frustrating! the back story is somewhat tiresome as you can select which cludo style room you wish to enter the drawback being new rooms take energy which is rather boring to wait for - especially in a game I just paid for! The least favorable aspect for me is the constant begging for in app purchases of weapons and coins to better your game play... Which is not really acceptable in a 3rd rate PAID FOR app..Version: 1.0.5

OkLike the hidden object aspect of it. Energy bar takes too long to refill, and you have to turn sound and music off every time you go into it..Version: 1.4.2

Very gdGets better with each update ☺.Version: 1.2.2

Overall goodI like this game, but wish the spotlight in night mode responded better. It doesn't follow you when you zoom. Also lack of non annoying ways to earn gold is not great. Good time killer, though. Also the energy loss being so quick but so slow to recover is odd in that it encourages you to stop playing for awhile if you have an in game goal that would require your money. Seems counterintuitive to me. I really enjoy the game and would love to spend more time playing without sacrificing my in-game goals. Be forewarned the words don't always match the objects. Problem - you can earn stopwatches, but try to use them to get to the crypt and the game will freeze. There is nothing to be done but close the game completely but you still lose all your stopwatches. I've lost 30 or 40 this way. Lost count....Version: 1.3.2

Updates ruined gameUseless after updates. Lose rubies and collections when game is closed as well as some energy. Some rooms in shadow mode are blank or only two or three shadows come up but you still need to find 10 items to complete room. Items called strange things ie. bow called onion, pen called handle etc. Very annoying and ruining game. Please fix..Version: 1.2.1

FriendsCannot seem to make any friends and there seem to be no contests.Version: 3.9.0

Fun game, improvingThis is a good game with a few glitches. You should be able to enter & search a new room at a lower energy. Once you get to a higher level in another room you're taxed the highest rate of energy for every room. Some things don't show up in a collection after you get them. I've gotten multiple golem's fingers but they're never in the collection. Some items say you won't find them on the first try, but others also take multiple tries. It's unclear whether you can go to another room for free if you reach a certain level or if you just have to pay to open each room. One reward said to use a key to open the room, but I had no idea where the key was. For the most part entertaining. No real story unfolds. At least not so far. Not especially tricky but repetitive fun..Version: 1.3.2

DisappointingI opened two new rooms and earn no objects for collections. Overall a slow game and now this is the icing on the cake.Version: 1.4.2

Ruined itI was really enjoying this game until rooms got locked until u killed a character. Thats an interesting twist to the game if it wasnt so impossible to kill the character. U have to kill 10 of that character in 24hrs to unlock the room, if u only kill 3 in 24hrs it resets back to 10. Iv used all of my energy trying to find the right weapon to no avail, theres no tools to help, u cant gift the tools to help and the gold it costs is ridiculous... cost me £4.99 to kill 3!!! Its completely impossible to unlock the rooms resulting in me loosing interest in the game.Version: 3.4.3

Hard to followNot sure how to play game properly.Version: 1.2.3

Its fun but difficult to follow.Still i have been hooked a week now :).Version: 1.2.3

Mystery manor is a mystery with a few flawsLast update did fix some bugs but my collected special items still disappear which doesn't allow me to gather many collections. Serious flaw that has stopped usability of the game... The game use to be better!! Still waiting for the next update to fix the disappearing special items. Not worth playing since the last update.😞i hope they fix the problem of no saved items soon. The last update wiped out all my accumulated items. I also don't understand why my level dropped from 50 to 44, although when my level had reached 50 before the update it never got any higher than 50 no matter how much i played. I hope it doesn't cap out at 50 again and i would like my special items back too!! I wish I hadn't up dated. 😠 Great game if on a larger screen. Very hard to to see on an iPhone. Works well on my husbands iPad! I'm starting to get the hang of it but the energy doesn't lasting enough to play for very long in one sitting. It only allows a few minutes play and then I have to wait nearly all day to re-energize to play again, even when I have repeated successful rooms. The makers should restore partial energy for finding everything in a room..Version: 1.2.2

Mystery castleWith the new update I lost all that I had accumulated over the years. Any way of getting this back? Gold Silver Time Bonus? Having fun with this app Pretty cool Having trouble with North Pole Fun The more I play it seems every thing now takes money, most of the collection items don't even show up at the higher levels The higher you go in levels the longer it takes to move to next level and it seems more interested getting people to buy gold. When will there be anymore updates or new rooms added? Getting better The only benefit I see from the last update is for the game developers as I will have to use more money to get stuff Better lately I like the roulette wheels Since last update the energy does not recharge..Version: 3.3.2

Cynical attempt to take your moneyI find it difficult to believe the other positive reviews here. This game is awful. There are no redeeming features. It's repetitive and dull and every move you make or achievement you need to progress takes points or game money. If you don't have enough you are constantly asked if you want to purchase more for real money. If this was a Facebook Game I'd expect this but not an iPad game. Steer clear. No amount of updates will change the fact this game is rubbish..Version: 1.0.5

UnhappyGame was great until last upgrade. Since last upgrade you cannot complete a collection, in addition to the fact that once you find all of the hidden objects the screen freezes up and closes not giving you credit for the stage you just completed, but conveniently enough it deducts the energy needed to complete that stage. I deleted the game and re-downloaded it thinking it might be problems with my download, but when I re-installed it the outcome was the same. They want you to spend your money on completing a level, but what is the point of spending money on something that is a rip-off. Time to delete permanantly!!!!!.Version: 1.0.9

ReviewWould be good if you could press on the collection from the task list rather than have to go through the all collections to find the one you want. Also why does it take so long to fill up the energy bar? Its really annoying..Version: 1.4.3

Castle Secrets : Hidden objectsMust admit I have only just started playing this game so it is early days I suppose, but all the videos are driving me mad! I have never known a game have so many videos in it and I know you don’t have to watch them but why do they have to be there, why can’t the game just flow? The other thing I’m struggling with are the ‘night’ scenes. I know it’s down to me but I can’t seem to move the illuminated bit around properly to find the items - any tips? Will I carry on playing it? Time will tell!!! These are the reasons I have only given the game 3 stars so far. Are there any instructions for this at all? Don’t have a clue what I’m doing so need some help!! Do the developers ever respond to these reviews?.Version: 3.8.9

Could be SO much better!!This is a fun game, but youu can tell it was written by someone who cannot speak English and used some sort of translator. The vignettes between screens are annoying, especially when the message makes very little sense in English. The items are mis-named in many of the searches, making it really difficult to actually find the items...until you get used to the wrong words. Also, the "prizes" in the higher levels never seem to materialize. For example, I have a quest to find a snake in the Butler's Room. I have played the Butler's room 25 times and still no snake. Just eats up my energy for nothing... My suggestion is if you are going to publish a game for the English speaking markets, have someone who speaks English proofread your text!!.Version: 1.3.2

OK...One thing need improve is energy restoring time. Because of the lengthy time, I played this game occasionally/once in a day between my other main games like Clash of Clans etc. Once the energy fully restored, it took about 10 minutes to used up all energy which this is a point of exit, until the next day..Version: 1.4.1

Fun Game But...The game is fun but there are a few issues: 1. Energy finishes way too fast and takes way too long to recharge. 2. There are so many collections that if you don't tap on OK the moment that the notice pops up, it takes way too long to be able to find the collection you completed. 3. Nowhere does it say where to get the items to be able to get into the crypt or the sorceress' castle (unless you buy them for 35 each...too expensive and I don't think it's worth it). If they need higher levels, then they shouldn't come up yet nor should the tasks involve getting into them. Or are they only available through buying them... don't agree with that if that is the case. I'm thinking about keeping it a little longer... waiting to see how far I can get without having to put real $$$ into it to advance... that's when a FREE game ends for me... if it's free it should always remain free..Version: 1.4.2

What am I doing?No idea what the aim of the game is... But it's somehow quite addicting... I think you should be able to swap green cash for gold cash tho cos I don't really know how I get gold cash and you need gold for opening the portal...as far as I'm aware I just get it randomly...sort this please :) also I think it's ridiculous how it's like £5.00 for £1000 green and so on! That's far too dear!!.Version: 1.2.3

Ad Causes Game to Lock Up, Spelling is PoorI enjoy this game, but currently, if I view the ad for Final Fantasy XV, A New Empire, after the ad is done, it gives no option to exit back to my actual game. I can download FFXV, which I don’t want, and nothing else. I only view the ads to get extra rewards or enter rooms, so when this happens, I lose the thing I was going for. I think an issue such as this is why I stopped playing some time ago. Also, please learn to spell ‘lose’ and a few other things. Seeing ‘You will loose’ whatever constantly makes me crazy..Version: 3.9.0

Kitchen bugKitchen is black screen. Time doesn't run out and can't get back to map..Version: 2.1.6

Mystery plusIt takes too long to build up experience to continue entering in other rooms. Also sometimes items are not displayed in search list on the right hand side of screen....especially in the hunter room, so you don't know what you are looking for. With the latest update, some items have disappeared. Getting frustrating as I don't seem to be making any progress..Version: 1.2.2

FrustratingAddictive game but so frustrating when you play the same room over and over and never get the item you need from it even if you find all the items in 25 secs and would help if they would fix issues but they don't even bother to respond to anyone, customer service is atrocious.Version: 1.3.2

Like but....I really like this game but I wish it didn't cost so much to get into the special areas like the crypt, the north pole & the sorcerers room. Killing monsters just doesn't give you enough of what you need to get in. Also it's super hard to collect everything in the collections unless you get into these areas. I don't have any friends playing this game so it's even more frustrating because I can't request items from anyone. I'll probably play until the frustration takes over then delete my game. :( please make it a little easier to get into these areas!! Maybe giving more than ONE coin for playing 5 days in a row would help!!.Version: 1.4.2

FoundInteresting but runs out of energy too fast.Version: 1.3.1

Old version is betterIt's different but it must be better on an iPad, puls the new version stinks because you don't recharges as fast so u start to lose interest in the game, you can't keep up unless you buy tokens... Boo!!.Version: 1.3.0

FunBetter all the time.Version: 1.2.2

Five Gold Coins!Okay so the second I tried leaving my review the coins showed up so gave it back the star though I shouldn't have to try more than once. Will let that slide cause the game is getting better as I progress. Updated never got gold coins for writing a review. So minus a star for lying. Sorry Well for that I'll say it's a pretty good game. A little hard to tell what the shadow objects are, but whatcha expect for free? I wish it didn't take so long to unlock other rooms and move on in the game. Would leave more stars if those things didn't annoy me. All in all it's entertaining enough to keep me playing a little while longer..Version: 1.0.7

Update pleasePlease please update this game with an ability to bypass tutorials. Hadn't played in a while, now the game wants me to do the tutorial with the energy trees before I can continue to play except all trees are at capacity and my energy bar is full so I can't complete the tutorial - and can't do anything else either ?!?!.Version: 1.5.1

THIEF!!!!!!! DONT BUY GOLD!!!!9/21 3:45p...ALL MY RARE COLLECTION ITEMS AND MY RUBIES ARE GONE!!!! WTH??? THIS IS WHAT I GET FOR BEING A LOYAL PLAYER??? Collections are not going into inventory as of latest update. Why even play?????????????????? ZERO STAR RATING HERE Obviously the 5 stars your getting are for the free gold because I can't imagine this many ppl happy with this game!!!! Just updated AGAIN...it took me a whole month to get 9 rubies and your latest update took them!!! All my quests are for the Sorcerous room!!! Oh and an imaginary laboratory!!! I have continued to play, waiting on updates but you still have a long way to go before all the bugs are fixed. Game play needs to be alot more fair. I used to buy a little gold from time to time but refuse to anymore. I was at level 50 but now at 42 and XP is still not increasing!!! Are these issues really that hard to fix??? This is a fun game. Why do you continue to frustrate your loyal players? Don't even get me started on the stupid collections!!! You've seen the complaints...You could at least make the cane a little more affordable!!!! I have one and I'm afraid to use it!!!! Game shuts down and steals energy and collections after every 3rd room!!! Your graphics are way better but your English still needs improvement!!! I WANT MY RUBIES BACK!!!!.Version: 1.2.1

Pretty goodWould be better if u had time bonuses etc and more hidden objects.Version: 1.3.1

Needs a lot of improvementLots of inventory items disappear making it impossible to trade in collections. Facebook page is FULL of people raising this issue. I like this game as its a good time waster but it is very flawed. The object names are wrong (butterfly for bow tie, tube for smoking pipe and onion for bow), items disappear from the inventory, at level 15 each room needs 24 energy so you can only play one room each hour and I assume the energy requirements increase every time you level up. I'm expecting a huge update to fix all these issues otherwise the game will be deleted..Version: 1.2.1

Update mistakeJust had the latest update on this game done and I am now back at Level 1.....I was at Level 52!!! I spent money on gold and now everything is gone!!! This is a crap game!!! Gave two stars because the game is alright, but the updates f@$k with your achievements and take your money!!! I can't even have a username with this game anymore!!!.Version: 3.3.0

Played then deletedThis game is an inferior version of Found. The English is poorly written. There are way too many early quests given for later levels that will take ages to reach. Plus it starts requiring gold, which needs real money to purchase, very early, before you are settled into the game. Way too gold driven. Hidden object screens are poorly designed as well. The story didn't engage me either..Version: 1.4.5

Shame about the adsNice game. Like the puzzles. But shame about all the ads..Version: 1.4.1

Mystery CastleEnjoy HOS games. Love quests. Disappointed in game as it has high 'energy' requirements for quests. Am at Level 48 and it takes 57 energy to do an HOS. Energy cap is 300. Barely do 5 and you are done. Many things require gold to complete (purchase). Too many characters, no story line, takes several days of play to move to next level after you reach Level 45, 'monsters' are nearly all gold purchases as you only earn gold when you level up- can't kill them off (they are also quests), too many requirements to complete collections/few rewards in HOS scenes completed, poorly worded connecting scenes, clue words do not match objects, and 'past' scenes have objects so obscured you can't find the object. I also play Ravenhill Asylum (another Alawar/Komar game) and it is worse than this one. Please work out the bugs to make game more enjoyable..Version: 1.3.2

GlitchesHave to tap on an item several times to clear it from list. Built the Crypt when I go to enter it the game stays in loading mode and never loads. I had to close the app and reopen it and it had taken 10 of my pocket watches when I wasn't even able to enter the room. Grammar errors are annoying ex: "The energy recovered with time" it's the energy recovers with time because the energy isn't always recovered when this message appears. The app support link does not work. I like this game but it took me a long time to open the crypt and to not have it work once I opened it was the last straw. This game needs a lot of work. Also, it is no longer Christmas I'm sick of the snowy theme please change it or make it optional..Version: 1.3.2

GamePretty good game.Version: 1.4.2

Was great...now awfulWhen I first bought this it was terrific fun, but since the last update it loses everything I've collected every time I log off! It's really infuriating! Sort it out! And give me back the rubies and objects I've collected. It's the least you can do, you're the ones who made collecting those things so darned difficult! Sort it and I'll happily give this five stars as it WAS superb fun. Oh and er, you guys charge WAY too much money to buy gold, especially when asking for so much gold for objects. It's a bit of a cheek, but I used to be able to happily play without spending money - if this latest loss of objects is some attempt to make me pay out a load of cash, you just lost a player. That would not be cool..Version: 1.2.1

Good gameNew collection system has added things to find before you can trade. Notably these extras can be bought for gold. Feels like this feature of the update is just the creators trying to get money from players of their free game rather than any improvement to game play which is a pityAlso note once you get to level 50 you stop gaining experience. Would like it to keep levels increasing if possible as this should be an easy ix..Version: 1.2.1

I love this...........but.......Have had trouble with picking up things in the North Pole but this has been fixed however I lost Christmas burbles! And now have got the Crypt, the game has completely frozen! At first I thought it was my phone so i rebooted, but its done it again and taken pocket watches for first go (which didnt happen!) I'm sure the watches will go this time as well when I reboot the game for a second time. Not good!! Please fix and as someone said earlier could we have the pocket watches back too please, ta :o).Version: 1.3.2

FinallyFinally a search game for my phone! Addictive and challenging.Version: 1.2.2

Mystery CastleAfter playing for 12months on iPad I updated on 23Feb2014 and the game is not working at all now. I cannot get into the castle to play. I cannot find a link to inventory, etc. I cannot move the screen around to see the monsters to kill. What's the point of the stupid Magic Garden? I go there and collect the energy then what? I can't play!! I give them 3 days to fix or I'm deleting the game. There are plenty of other HO games to play without this frustration!.Version: 1.5.0

Recent updatesGuys, I was so happy when I 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 ... I’ve had the same “collection” missions that I completed on my 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.Version: 3.8.0

Creator will screw you please readI have left a lot of messages for KOMAR GAMES to fix this...😱they claim to have had a new update on August 10 in 2 weeks but we are past that and nothing 👄NO response 👂👂since August 10..😠 VERY DISAPPOINTED 😥 I'm deleting this app when I'm done with review 😲 please watch out Sergey or whatever KOMAR games creators call themselves I'll be nice at least I won't call them what they should be called however their new game is called SECRETS OF THE HILDEGARDS this will be game #3 that I know of that he creates and then dumps SO WATCH OUT SO YOU DON'T GET SCREWED!! Check out mystery castle on Facebook for real reviews he has a lot of friends on here writing good reviews for him and ITUNES and At&t are not responding to my requests either Good Luck if you try them out.Version: 1.0.9

Not working :(This was a great game before the latest update. Now the energy won't renew, so I can't do anything. I also preferred it before the new changes were made, but would be happy if the energy would renew. I would happily give it 5 stars if it was working properly..Version: 3.1.1

Great if you can't read!I'm enjoying the game, finding it easier than other mystery games and like that I can buy what I want without having to spend actual money. I do feel cheated when I buy energy and am immediately told I've run out. Other than that its the grammar and awkward phrasings that took a while to get used to - random messages that pop up after searching a room that read like fortune cookies and the added challenge of having to figure out that "card" means a map in the butlers room and that in the kitchen when asked to find "meal" it's referring to that metal plate hanging above the island..Version: 1.3.2

+ -Nice little hidden object game, easy to pick up and play. Nice to be able to acquire with patience during gameplay along with the purchase option for a quick leg up if thats your thing. Enjoyable and easily worth a look in with the price of $0.00 the only issue is the english translation is a touch off regarding some object names and game dialog, although in saying that it is easily ignored without too much difficulty. Give it a go if the hidden object genre is your thing!.Version: 1.2.2

Mystery manorFun, good for the old brain..Version: 1.4.2

Castle secretsMdoggy 96 that ...hit the buddy ...game is sick.. are you trying to make it okay to hit and bully others??.Version: 3.8.3

Ok but content download failI like the game. But whenever I enter new rooms (workshop) or try a different time period, it says content download and nothing happens..Version: 2.2.0

MehKinda confusing.....Version: 1.4.2

I use to love it until nowUntil the new update, this was a great app. I've been playing it for months and never really had a problem. Now with the new adds that pop up even after you've closed them, it's annoying to play. Every little thing you do and an add pops up. I'm very disappointed and will most likely stop playing. It was so awesome before this.Version: 1.4.4

Could be SOOOOOOO Great!It truly is a fun game. Unfortunately, I have the same complaint as other users. What items are called and what you are looking for are often mismatched. At first it was only one particular item here and there but as I have progressed it has become worse. You have to use your gold coins to guess where the item is (or randomly tap until you land on it). It is very frustrating. The game also stops allowing you to find items you are looking for in a quest. I can play the same room over and over and still not complete the quest. It is a huge disappointment considering otherwise the game is awesome...money worthy truly....but not as is. I hope there is an update soon to address the issues. DEVELOPER: Please fix the current levels in the game before releasing another new level (ie., snow level). THANKS!.Version: 1.3.2

NiceAwesome game- bit annoying with night mode!.Version: 1.0.7

Wait downloading contentThe first three rooms operate well, but from the workshop onwards, you cannot access the rooms to find the items because you just continually get the message 'wait downloading content'. You can wait all day but nothing happens. A good game but not worth getting unless access to all rooms is available..Version: 2.2.0

Also FrustratedI really enjoy the game. It has enough diversity in play that it is not as boring as some other hidden object games. BUT it is frustrating that the time runs out too quickly and it is hard to earn gold coins. There are plenty of opportunities to buy coins which can prolong your time and move you along faster, but I do not want to have to continually have to be buying. I would rather pay one fair price and get more time and a faster way to get coins. There could still be the offer of more coins for those who really want to move ahead quickly.

DisappointingSo unfortunate. This game was on its way to being a solid 4 star for me, especially for a free game. The premise was fun and original (at least to me) and I was really enjoying the game. That is until I started unlocking rooms and traveling to the past, well at least I tried to do those things, but the past and the workroom never actually loads for me. It says waiting for download but never actually loads the room, though it charges me energy anyway just to tell me I've failed the room. How I can fail a room that never loaded is beyond me. I tried to give it time, once I sat my phone down and let it "download" for a full 30 minutes and still nothing. As I've read old reviews and seen this problem from over a year ago, I know I'm not alone in this problem, but that also means they've yet to fix an issue that old. So I will be giving this game up, and that is really unfortunate because it did seem very promising..Version: 2.2.0

Not bad but rough graphicsThis game isn't bad but the graphics are reeeeeally rough, and some of the items you have to find have inaccurate names with it, eg a pipe is called a tube!.Version: 1.4.5

Quite entertainingOne thing I like about this game is that you can actually play for a reasonable amount of time before your energy runs out. Similar games i've played require you to spend money to keep playing, which I find frustrating..Version: 1.3.2

Fun but repetitive and can't access much without payingI've played this on and off and I'm bored. You can't unlock new rooms without buying a bunch of the coins. You can't unlock things like the crypt or the Christmas balls thing. You can't get half of the items in the list on the right. Past portal doesn't make sense either. Often times you actually get all the items in the scene on time, but the game doesn't process so you lose that scene and all the time. Recently it's been freezing in the living room and not letting you click on any the items to left of fire. I only play once a day if that because takes too long to let energy recharge. I like the new chests thing but half the time, after I earn the items they never show up in my collection. I won't spend any money on this game as it doesn't help earn more..Version: 2.1.5

Takes too long to revive and can't find task items after very long periods. Lost interestVery expensive when you can't find items and have to pay to progress..Version: 1.3.2

Mystery castleAfter the last update the game is no fun anymore. It is now harder to trade collections. You can't get the extra items for this unless you buy the gold. However, when you try to buy gold thy take your money and you get no gold. This has happened to me several others then you cant get a refund. It costs more in energy to enter the rooms now and all the tools and bonuses are now too expensive to get. And when you come back to the game your energy and gold disappear. When you try to touch the items in the rooms they don't always go the first time. Sometimes you need to touch them more than once. You go on face face and ask them questions they don't answer it's been two weeks that people have been complaining and the developers still haven't gotten back to us! Before the update I would have given this game 5 stars now it's barely a 1.Version: 1.0.9

It's adequatelyIt's a cute game I guess, however… It keeps harassing me to buy more gold pieces. I don't think it's fair that it costs five gold pieces to kill off one wolf and the quest requires 5 gold pieces kill one Wolf. And it asked to kill 3 Wolfs, which requires 15 gold pieces. Why should I have to exhaust gold pieces to Slay a wolf or to kill any monsters? For killing monsters, shouldn't I Be rewarded with gold pieces? And another thing is quite confusing about this game, when given actual name to a piece of item you need to find, it's very unclear. For example: a metal gauntlet that a night put on his hand is not called "an armor" it's called a "Gauntlet". I spend exhausted amounts of time looking for a miniature suit of armor, because it asked for a "Armor". Furthermore, I don't think it's fair to have to buy gold pieces in order to advance to the next level. I think the next level should be given on how well and how fast you find items in each room, not by purchasing the next level because you have the money? Then this game becomes a moneymaking machine instead of a challenge fun game, That sharpens the mind and memory. Just being honest....Version: 1.4.1

Good yet frustratingIt's the best hidden object I've found for the gameplay but there are a lot of things that really annoy me! Why does the amount of energy needed to enter a room go up as you level up? What's the point in levelling up and getting more energy as a total.. Only play about six games in one go. Also the first app I've ever considered spending real money on but the prices are extortionate!! And the way of adding friends could be made simpler!!.Version: 1.4.2

Mostly funThis game would be a great game if it was more helpful, like how/ where to find some things. I don't want to spend gold to complete quests because it isn't telling me how to acquire important items.Version: 1.2.0

Mystery castle hidden objectsI have updated the game and now I can't play it..Version: 1.5.1

Well, it was free.I played this game because it was nice to play something simple after work. And I thought it was going somewhere. Turns out, not so much. After the last update, there's a brake on the collections making them harder to complete and subtlety forcing players to buy gold. Level 50 is the current max with no new rooms or changes in the search items for each room. Since I've reached level 50, there's no reason for me to play until there's an update with new content and a higher level setting. I would recommend that any game companies verify that the spelling and grammar in their games is correct for other languages before releasing them. In English, the things in the library with the metal blades are spelled "skates" not "scates"..Version: 1.0.9

Great artwork and good hidden objects clone, but...Someone with a good grasp of the English language really needs to do a proper translation of whatever language this is from. A fair price of maybe £1.49 for complete game without buying in app purchases would probably mean more revenue to the makers of this game instead of the £0.00 they will get from me. In app purchase for $99??!! Crazy price from greedy makers, but all too common in "free" games, unfortunately .... It is otherwise a good game to pass some time, but does need work re the translation and in app purchases, which I never buy..Version: 1.2.5

FunEnjoyable..Version: 1.4.1

Not too badThis is okay, quite addictive.Version: 1.3.2

Average gameThere are many games like this in the App Store. It has one advantage over the others in that you can advance without having to make a lot of IAPs. That being said, the scenes are repetitive, the graphics are rather bland, and the text is riddled with grammatical errors. It is in desperate need of a polish and proofreading..Version: 3.1.2

Good but some things are annoying!Good game but there's some bad bugs! The little missions on the side don't always show up when they've been completed, the levels keep going up and down, the rubies don't always add up no matter how many you get, some of the items aren't what they say they are and we need more rooms as it gets a bit repetitive but i do really like this game :).Version: 1.2.2

Feeling annoyedI like this game but why I can't play the workshop, bathroom and the time machine. It appeared that "wait downloading content", when I click "OK", the game asked me to exit the room and when I click the "x" button, it appears nothing. What's wrong with the game?.Version: 2.2.0

SorryLove hidden picture games this looks fun but as soon as I saw the shadow pictures i was done bad eyes I’m older and cant do..Version: 3.8.4

FunAddictive! Slow to move along if you don't buy gold though. Would like it if you got more stuff for finishing rooms faster..Version: 1.4.2

AddictiveUpdate to my previous review.. This is a very addictive game. However, when searching for objects the list of items sometimes do not match up with what you're looking for. For example it said 'harmonica' but after using a coin for a hint it turns out it actually meant accordion. Sometimes it asks for 'spider' when there are several spiders in the room. Abit annoying but overall it's a good game.Version: 1.4.5

Freezes and ad spammingI got the ap and didn't mind playing it until it started spamming me with ads in the middle of gameplay (which is annoying enough - the ads could wait until you exit a room as opposed in the middle of finding things). Then the game stops responding and you have to close out of it and start again. I've deleted it for this reason. Also I think its important you know I will NEVER play Sim City due to the invasive advertising of it in this game..Version: 2.2.0

Fix BugsLove the new graphics but I am slowly losing patience with this game. So many bugs since last update: lost my place and have went back levels, spelling mistakes, incorrect words and most annoying is the fact that rubies get lost every time I leave the game meaning that the game is now almost at a standstill as every quest requires me to go into the portal which I can't do as I have no rubies. Please fix now before everyone abandons the game!!.Version: 1.2.1

Another money grabDid everything I could do in the game in 2 days, without using real money ... Disappointing!.Version: 1.5.1

Ash explorer ( game name)So far I like it. After playing mystery manor for about a year I wanted something similar but a little different. Searching the rooms in night mode is flaming hard, you can't see anything but I like a challenge. I am still getting used to it and I am going to continue playing. I would recommend playing this game..Version: 1.3.2

Could be improvedI really like this game, but some improvements could be made. Each 1 energy refills in 3 minutes but currently all my levels require 30-40 energy. It's not easy to "find" the tools to kill the monsters, or the items required to complete collections, many levels need to be played to "find" one tool, to kill one monster, and multiple monsters must be killed to "find" one piece for a collection..Version: 1.4.5

Quick casual gameStandard play and wait for energy. Some side quests to do while waiting for energy. Little explanation of gameplay, length of energy renewal, experience levels or anything really. Definitely not made by native English speakers. Be my friend: RYGPKRQL.Version: 2.1.7

Addicted...but....Since the last update the collection items are even harder to get. You get a notification that you've completed a collection only to find out you have 4 items but are missing the 2 new required items that you have the hardest time collecting! I've been stuck on Level 50 for over a week....my experience is stuck at 0%! Really?! I thought updates were supposed to make the game better...wish I didn't update it. Fix please! 9/21: got bumped back from level 50 to 43. All the item names have changed (hourglass is now a watch?) or are called something different from room to room. BUT...still addicted & playing..Version: 1.2.1

Way Better Before the UpdateThis WAS a great game (5stars) but since the update, not so much. After changing just about everything up I can't even play it as often. You were able to jump to the next level by completing the "recovery" tasks on the left of the map but now it takes forever to even get one or two completed & then it doesn't even show your experience earned anymore so you know how close you are to the next level. I'm very disappointed since the update. I am all for more challenging but this is not the way to go! Sorry only 3 stars now & that's only because the graphics are decent!!.Version: 1.2.0

Help panel or FAQ optionGreat game but it would be really good if it had an instructions panel. Things like what everything does and what order the level of each room is. Like detective, hunter etc. like what order they are in and other useful tips. Extremely addicted :).Version: 1.0.7

HiddenToo many adds.Version: 1.4.0

Got some issuesI really enjoy this game. I am always on there playing every chance I get. Now that being said, I do have a couple of issues. One is that it takes FOREVER for my life to fill up. An why does it take so much energy just to play a room once? I'm spending 39 energy each time I go into a room. That's stupid and it means I can't play as long as I would like. Another issue I have is that I have a ton of coins, but have to wait for any gold. I don't buy money on any game, because I think that is nuts and I don't have extra money to spend on it. Hence "free games". I do really love this game. I just wish it didn't take so long for my energy to refill..Version: 1.0.7

Luv the game - 2 many glitches needs fix upLove the game, but instead of making too complex to pass each level once u got to 48 they should added more rooms to make it more interesting... After level 50 amount of experience gets minimized to .001% per each room u go through, there are requirement in order to obtain items from gathering a collection which makes each level really long!!! Also, ur energy may recover to over 200 (referring to levels above 40) but if u end shutting ur phone off it may to amount of energy u had last time u played: I.E. had 238 of energy shut off the phone went bak into the game n only had 46.... Unacceptable!!!.Version: 1.0.9

Yeah reviewIs an ok game, bit slow to get into levels and providing access to collectables as well as not really giving clear instructions to complete assignments. Good time waster though..Version: 1.4.2

OKNegative things - energy is too slow @ refilling. You get bored of waiting then forget about the game. Have lost gold as unable to pick items up that I've found on my iPhone. Quests need to appear more regular & be more varied. Positive things - addictive, has a lot of rooms & you're always striving to get something completed. It's good that you need to get money, complete quests, complete collections etc. it's more than just looking for hidden items..Version: 1.3.2

Interesting gameEnjoying the game but the energy takes soooo long!! Also the names of the hidden objects is a bit weird they don't always describe the item you are looking for..Version: 1.3.1

Could be great but....It's fun and all that. But objects are misnamed which is confusing (butterfly is a bow tie, bow is a bowl in certain levels, paintbrush is a toothbrush). Also, I can't get into the cript it takes my pocket watches but doesn't let me in. Also the quests and collections are confusing to figure out which room to find the object. Also, it's a pain to scroll through all the collections to find the one you are looking for. Also, it is confusing when it tells you to find things in the laboratory (there is no such room, it means workshop). But my biggest annoyance is now it doesn't give me new quests and no matter how many times i go to the room to complete the bloody mask collection it NEVER gives me what i need. I have searched the bathroom probably 100 times and it still wont give me the claw glove. Now i have opened new rooms yet this doesnt trigger new quests. So all i have is cript and bathroom to search and i cant get into the cript so the bathroom scene is getting old fast! Even with all this chaos I still enjoy the game, however if it doesn't give new quests soon I will delete. Get all this fixed and the game would be 5 stars..Version: 1.3.2

Fun and addictiveThis is a fun hidden pictures game. As with all of these games, the developer tries to push you toward spending money to be successful. This game was less offensive in your ability to play without spending real-world currency, but the latest update may have changed that. It takes more items to charge collections and those items are findable on quests, but not in reasonable quantities. When energy is fully charged you may use all energy and find 2 of the new additional charge items for a single collection, when 5 or more are needed. I guess this is another game where you buy your way to success, or plan to play a lot of short sessions over a lot of time..Version: 1.0.9
