Cool premise but so many ads! And then they make you go through tutorials with no escaping them (can't use the back or home buttons), but the tutorials don't really explain anything, other than you have to spend money or watch more ads. It all looks like an original idea wrapped up in a money grab. I uninstalled in less than 10 minutes.

Some of the hints don't help. A lot of the techniques to do things you wouldn't know unless you had hints used. For searching items you really need to fix. Searching for transportation? Yet horses don't count. (History would prove otherwise) Searching for spots? Apparently aliens with spots don't count either. Need to fix. Lost 4minutes in ONE game because what applies logically doesn't apply consistently in the game.

Once I downloaded it, it immediately froze during the tutorial. I'm not really sure how to play it other than just touch around. Some things need to be moved to find objects but the reaction is really slow or very specific to one tiny spot. I could do the same action a million times but it only works unless I get the exact millimeter right. Frustrating. It looked like fun but I only did 3 screens (& 3 long ads) before deleting it.

This is a fun game for dorks like me. However, if you pay for no ads, there's still 2 minutes + of ads between each level. I'm not entirely sure paying money eliminated anything. If you offer no ads with pay, there should be no ads. If you need more money to keep the game up and running, charge more for no ads. Not sure if it's Google or the game developers but its a scam.

a s#!t load of ads. I almost rated it lower if the gameplay wasn't as fun as it's been. The English is pretty bad and some of the ways to do things can be ridiculous (i.e. you can't open a window using one finger, you need to use two.). Also, to address the Dev's response to this ahead of time, there's a difference between ads to help development and ads that are just greedy. it's at the greed point now. It's really too bad because this would make the game great if they fixed these issues...

Interesting game but there are a decent amount of glitches and too many ads. One glitch being that in order to take advantage of "special guests" in the museum you need to watch an ad. Unfortunately there also seems to be a cap on how many ads you can watch in a day (?), hour (?), either way there is a cap that is not explicitly stated so you don't have accesses to many features of the game once it's hit. Very weird and counter intuitive.

There is literally an ad every 5 seconds. The game is borderline unplayable, and there are absolutely no instructions on how to actually play the game. If I could rate zero stars I would. ETA: In response to the developer, if your goal is forced advertising in a game to "build a better experience", actually build a better game. My review stands.

I wish i could give zero stars. It's a really fun puzzle game, I do like the levels and out of box thinking Your ads are just greedy. Why wouldn't you offer a one time payment for ads ????? Micro transactions are annoying and useless To keep playing levels you have to build a museum which is not the reason I played this game. I want to complete a puzzle and move on with my day, not babysit a museum that you can only push thru quickly w/ more ads ! Yay! Anyway I've uninstalled the app

Most final solutions to puzzles are based on phone gestures that aren't made to be a clear option for the player at any point, besides, of course, by using magnifying glass items. After playing so many mobile games, I totally get having an ad after every level, but this methodology basically guarantees that people get 2 per level if they want a full clear, not including the ad for collecting the reward for a level, so we're reaching for 2-3, really. Uncomfortable conditioning.

this game is so frustrating, nothing makes sense. I spend more time watching ads, trying to solve the puzzles and more ads between levels than actually playing the game. how would anybody know to try turning their phone upside down to open and item, or charge their actual phone to solve a puzzle. it's creative, I'll give it that, but you either need to spend actual money or watch lots of ads to get through it. this was, unfortunately a huge waste of time, cause I actually enjoyed the game.

It's an okay search, but so absolutely loaded with ads that it isn't worth the time. They offer an "ad-free" version of you pay 2 bucks, but this only removes the adds you would have to set through playing the game. It doesn't remove the ads for your level completion reward, for playing new levels, or pretty much anything else you would do. Nope, still have to sit through almost as many ads to play the game with their ad-free as without it.

Great game play, but app keeps crashing especially when I try to watch an ad. I love the game, but it crashes every 30 seconds!!!!!! Edit: Google play doesn't have the option to reply, so I am replying to the developer through an edit: I don't think that the generated answer helps, it's very simple. When I open the app, and I try to play, it crashes, when I click to get a booster and watch an ad, it crashes. It's that simple. Now please fix your app.

Lots of Ads. Doesnt matter if you can skip them, i hate accidentally clicking outside the (x) button, opening google play, and having to close and reopen the game. Its also annoying how I have to watch at least 5 sec. of ads to navigate stage > museum (then to get a popup for another ad at the museum and wait for the other often to show up. Im so annoyed at this point to continue I really love the art and the puzzles are fun. Please make the hidden objects art available for the museum display.

This is a great game, I look forward to the new levels that become available every few hours in the discovery mode. Trouble is I am using the hints and still not able to complete some levels. For example in the wonderland level it says to drag the bubble around the mouse, but there is no bubble! This type of issues I've had in multiple levels.

It is OK. Fun at first, really got me thinking. But was getting to the point that even the most absurd logic wasn't working. I would need to get hints (by watching ads) to finish a stage and there were times I would need to get 2 or 3. Also when you wanted any bonus at the end of a stage or collect a surprise, you had to watch an ad. So I was spending so much time watching ads instead of play I found it no longer fun.

This game has a little bit of everything, hidden items, puzzles, idle clicker... the art is absolutely lovely and whole app looks great and coherent. Can't stress how much I like the art. and some of the puzzles are really clever. I just wish it wouldn't be an ad farm. You spend more time looking at ads (or like me just looking away waiting for them to be over) than actually playing. Yes you can pay to remove the pop-up ones, but still the game is ridden with tons of ads you WILL play.

WAY BETTER THAN I EXPECTED! was actually difficult, which is surprising for a mobile app brainteaser since most are awful. there are lots of different kinds of puzzles to do & all of them are great. i wish the discovery & crime scenes had an update, they're my favorites. i had to remove a star because the apps that appear in ads sometimes get downloaded to my phone, which has never happened with any other game. i'd also like if there were more hints per ad because there are lots of ads anyway.

This game has a lot of potential but not enough levels to keep you playing for long. Also, literally everything is behind an ad-wall, even your daily log in bonus, which just feels so greedy to me. It's got such wonderful art and really fun levels but I honestly can't recommend this unless you don't mind a crazy amount of ads and a game that will only keep you interested for an hour or two.

game play is fun, puzzles great. The ads are constant, they are long, and it's a multistep process to exit ads (skip, x, skip another ad, x) When ads finish, you are not automatically taken to the next level and sometimes you have to watch another ad before the app will go to the next level. I understand that ads help to fund your work... but this amount is detrimental to user experience. If skipping ads between levels was as easy as clicking skip one time I would rate this app much higher.

I did enjoy this game. Recently un-installed it because the count down time on my museum got messed up. Ended up having to start all over from round 1 because I hadn't connected my game. Now, not even 3 floors into the museum and it's doing the same thing. This glitch causes me to not be able to continue on with my other levels and makes the game unplayable. Edit: good response time but the problem persists. Just in a different area of the museum.
