This is a good game and if it required fewer steps to navigate between locations prizes achievements etc I would have rated it 5 stars. It seems it takes so many strokes to progress the game that it becomes tedious to players. The items required to combine a collection are so difficult to get that players could play for months on end without obtaining them and the only way I was able to get them was as gifts from friends or buying them. This is a great game but I would play more if rewarded more

I've been playing off and on for a year. Nice art, solid gameplay. You can play levels as either match-3 or hidden object, both are fun to play. There are a few ads you can watch for boosters or gems, but they are optional, the game never shoves ads in your face. Boosters can help you advance quicker, but aren't necessary to win. A really good game. ETA: I finished writing that review, went back to the game, and it started shoving ads in my face. I'm taking it from a 5 to a 4-star.

A fun relaxing game! The ads do not get in the way of playing. One generally appears every 3 games or so. I love the feature that allows you to watch a few ads to get additional tools to win the game. Another plus is that as you advance through the levels the game becomes more challenging but not impossible and about the time I think I'll give up a new story line opens and the challenges get easier again. I've been playing this for several months with zero complaints!

Played for over a year, then stopped for a couple of months. Came back & had to update the game. All my progress was gone and the game wouldn't even let me get to Settings to try to retrieve it. It kept forcing me to go thru the initial tutorial either no way to skip it. Uninstalled. FYI, the initial 5 star rating was only to get free stuff in game, which they tease you with until you give them a good rating

Very intriguing especially when some levels (especially around holidays) you also find keys as well in the games. However one thing I can say that is very different but that is also a feature I love is having the choice and not being forced into what I want to play. You get the choice if you want to get the pieces or clues needed by hidden search of items or by a match in game with stones. Let's say I have become addicted to the game Im not normally a gaming person either but daily I play.

This game continues to be entertaining after 3 years of playing it. There's a new quest every month. Mini events every week. It's challenging and helps exercise your grey matter. The graphics are fantastic and the storyline is gripping. This is the first game I've been hooked on since the golden version of The Legend of Zelda came out on Nintendo in what 1988?

I absolutely love this game and have for quite some time. I enjoy it very much and I'm very proud to make it to level 134, and when they had put the choice of what kind of hidden objects mode you would like to play in weather it be in mirror mode, picture mode, ABC mode or even latter stilling mode I was really enjoying the game and being able to choose what mode I wanted to play in was very exciting, but now they have done stopped it and got rid of and well I'm starting to not want to play it.

I liked it.. but then they took away the feature that allowed you to skip different puzzle types.. i absolutely HATE the "find what's different" ones.... before i could skip them and i could play mindlessly for hours, but now I'm finding i don't want to play at all. I just hate that i can't skip the puzzles i don't like. I almost quit the game before, but then i realized i could "pay" for a skip with my coins... now that i can't, I'm back to quitting.

There are hidden object scenes where you have to find certain things. It starts out easy, but the more you play and your level increases, then it starts to get more difficult each time you level up. There are also different types of hidden object puzzles. Some give you a few works at a time to look for, some give one word at a time to find, others are spelled backwards, and others are all mixed up. It keeps it very interesting. There's different ways to show us what to look for. Keeps game fun.

I have no idea what's going on in the story; I just like the variety in the match-3 games. Maybe I've gotten to a high enough level, but the games have gotten a lot harder to win without spending $ for help, which I won't do, so I'm having a hard time winning any rounds and progressing. Still, it's a fun diversion for an hour or so a day. Added: It stinks that even if you buy crystals just one time, you can't watch ads to earn more ever again. Taking away a star for that.

Great illustration and fun mystery game, it would be even better if you could put in a a tool that clears a row up and down. Also I've been cheated out of rewards in many ways, the one that ticked me off the most is after spending money on the game and buying rubies to get more progress ,it doesn't give me the rewards. Very maddening. I am playing alot of your games. I do like Sherlock the best. I would like all of them better if they progression wasn't so slow!!!!

Really enjoyed playing this game but for a while now it's become ridiculously tough to find objects. Constant glitches that make you lose your energy n some of the play like find the similar objects and one object at a time are difficult to complete in the allotted time. They started a new option to skip these but not anymore. It's getting frustrating as we cannot complete levels even at moderate rate. Sometimes you are stuck on a level for days. Very frustrating and discouraging to play.

This game is VERY frustrating at times. I think the levels should be easier to win. I get quite mad when I continue to lose these games by just 1 or 2 moves. ** I don't think that I should have to make purchases paying with real $ just to play your game. -- That just makes this game very unachievable & not gamer friendly. -- If it costs money to play, then it is Definitely NOT a game I am willing to play on a daily basis!

This is a really fun game I'm up to lvl 40 but it's getting annoying being forced to spend hints for clues that aren't visible on the screen. The developers trick you to spend a hint and then when the clue is revealed it was never there in the first place, I know this because I verified it with a screenshot. Even zoomed in. Why not just put all the clues out at one time instead of forcing us to spend a hint. If this is your way to try and make money it's not a very good one. 4 stars though

Absolutely luv this game... addicted to it... challenging would like to be able to gain more tools with coins maybe ?? Instead of completing level to gain tools. Or having to buy at the store.. But all and all its fun to play. The hidden objects black and white is very difficult.. ❤️.. so would still like to use coins to buy crystals.. seems like a waste to have all these coins but can't buy tools. Stil luv playing . Tyx

I love reading Sherlock Holmes mysteries and playing hidden-object games, so this should have been a slam dunk. Alas, not for me. The game is beautiful and the scripts are interesting, but the scenes are monotonous and so cluttered. The objects you're looking for are TINY, have so much shadow and not enough contrast. They're way, way too small for such a tiny phone screen unless you're a teen with super eyesight. Those of us over 40 or with eye issues, forget it. Also, TOO MANY SALES PUSHES.

Sherlock is visually appealing as far as graphics go. I think it has the potential to be a great game, but it's monotonous. You're forced to play the same scenes until frustration consumes you. Countless times, I've gotten down to the last couple of objects to find and those things not being visible in the picture. Those objects are never revealed at the end. Although there's several books, you'll play the same scenes hundreds of times. Mastery seems unattainable. Feed the cat. Update: deleted

I am a 70 year old and have never been one to spend much time on my phone texting, talking or checking out apps. I find this app to be challenging, relaxing and fun; the cases are easy to follow and I am amazed at the graphic designs. I would recommend this app to anyone; no matter the age; especially to any old timers such as I.

Love the concept, great graphics. Maybe a little too good, objects are difficult to find, too many per scene & not enough time to search. I use an average of 3 tools per scene, no tools can be purchased with coins. I have 1,982,500 coins that I can only use to unlock new scenes. I don't play as much as I would, it's too frustrating.

A good diversion to kill time while waiting at the Dr's office, etc... I enjoy and rely on this game for entertainment. One improvement I'd love to see happen is that upon winning a match 3 game, we get credit for all that continues to explode. As it stands now, we only have the option of watching the screen blow up or tapping skip to continue. It would be so much more satisfying to get extra coins and possible unclaimed items for winning a level. When do more items appear on the library table?
