The Secret Society: Mystery 4+

Secret society

I have enjoyed playing the two Christmas pictures in this game but those are about the only two pictures I have really enjoyed. I gave it a 4 rating due to the graphics you provide, they are indeed outstanding. But in saying that how you hide objects and the difficulty to pick them up leaves me frustrated and sometimes screaming at my I-pad. Nothing frustrates me more than to have tapped on the object two or three times and then use a hint only to find it goes to the same place I was tapping. I also do not like to have to connect to social media to be able to complete a scene or rather a collection. I feel if you found all 5 items in the collection you should get the prize for collecting them not have to find or buy other objects to complete. I also think if you have looked for a fish in a particular picture it should remain the same fish each time not changing from a real one to a stone one or a picture of a fish, it is ok to have a different fish in each picture but it should remain the same in that picture. Also the cost gets too high as you go up in levels, my income does not change as I solve your puzzles. Some of the complaints go for some of your other games as well so I have to decide how many I can afford and which one please me the most. I will say bye to this one.

Hate this part

The part of this game that really makes it no fun is the pictures where you have to find pieces of a whole. They make it so difficult that it just isn’t any fun. It is one of the reasons I don’t play this game as often as I used, I got frustrated. I also try to avoid those puzzles that have the split circle, but sometimes in order to find something you have to do them. I just finally give up. It’s not worth it. Some of the pictures are also too dark.. This game also never lets you earn crystals. I have been playing for at least three years and have never had more than 12 crystals if that. I am down to four my fault did not realize something costs me Crystals. Unless you spend money crystals are pretty much off the table to earn. The last thing is that this game penalizes you if you play at different times during the day they X out your rewards. You lose credit if you play in the morning one day but play later in the day the next day. We all have different schedules. We also have a life. I really dislike the new puzzle it is creepy. I hate listening to people eat. It’s like watching someone with their mouth open and listening to the sound. The laughter is creepy too.I would like to mention I have played this game for several years and only have 6 crystals which is worthless. They need to find a way to award crystals so you can continue doing the picture that is currently at 5he top. Quit being so stingy!

There are better games available

As an experienced Hunter in these types of games I am sorely disappointed in this one. The amount of energy you are allowed lets you play one maybe two games before you’re out of energy and have to buy more. The prizes you’re supposed to get for completing a puzzle are nonexistent. At least 50% of the time you get nothing But I message saying “better luck next time”. The puzzles themselves, while a good concept of having to complete a puzzle in order to open a puzzle, have made the objects you’re supposed to find too small and too difficult to find so that you end up running out of time and then you have to buy something to help you complete the puzzle. The puzzles should be challenging, not completely impossible to complete without having to buy something. And everything you have to buy is way more expensive than whatever it is you have in your cash so you have to go to the store and buy more rubies or coins or something else. I understand making money. I’m an accountant and very pro business. But there ARE limits. This group is simply too greedy for my taste. Too bad because I tend to spend a few hundred dollars a month on puzzles I like. But I don’t feel that I should have to spend a few hundred dollars every time I want to play a game. The creators need to wrap their heads around the concept of small profits over a lot of people. Coca-Cola has managed to become a multibillion dollar company by making $.02-$.03 on every can of Coke.
