Love the graphics and different story books. The gifts the ghost leaves have helpful items including what is needed to enter the event chapter until the 2nd to last chest is opened then it’s just coins and power. Use to love the challenge of the games and keeping my mind active in a fun way but Haven’t won a single game in the event book without using tools to finish it and the rewards are just not worth playing it anymore. After playing for a couple of years, getting fed up with not being able to complete the event chapter and get that last writer’s chest. You need 35 points to enter the event chapter but only receive 10 keys. You need to play at least 4 or 5 games to get enough points together to enter the event book. And to amount to 1000 keys for the final chest seems impossible unless you can play for hours and now the keys are so hidden I’m averaging finding about 50% of them. Impressed with how G5 does respond to queries and complaints

Great graphics and I love the idea of being able to choose to play either hidden objects or match 3. What I don’t like is that you open the match 3 and you are almost immediately shown where there are matches. I play match 3 because I want to find the matches, not be shown where they are. Can we please have the ability to turn their annoying hint off?If I fail a room and I want to replay that room, I have to exit the room and return to the library before I can select the room again. Instead, when I am told that I have failed the task I would like to return immediately to the room without going via the library.

We appreciate your insights! It's great to hear you enjoy the graphics and the choice between gameplay modes. Your feedback regarding the match 3 hints and the room replay process is valuable and helps us understand player preferences better. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
Waiting for updates to install is unbearable,

This honestly used to be one of my favourite games but I rarely play it anymore because of its frequent need to download and install new updates. Yes I get that updates are required for special events but there is ALWAYS some new event running and the updates and installation run at an unbearably slow speed! I need to wait usually 10 min for the update to complete. I dread the whole update process and often give up and exit the game altogether. The game says I can play while it downloads but why only the original Sherlock Holmes book? It would be wonderful to have more opportunity to work through the entire library collection. I feel the gameplay is very restrictive in your progression through each novel of the library. There has been several occasions that the game will send me back to previously completed novels with an ‘extended’ storyline and then not allow me to continue my current novel until the extension is completed. This disappointing feature makes gameplay very boring..no one wants to be forced to complete the same area twice!
Developer Response

I have been playing this game for a number of years. It’s relaxing but also can keep you on the edge of your seat. My only problem with it is, to get through at a c onstant pace one would need to make constant purchases. This is disappointing unfortunately, most if not all games are set up this way to make a profit. This can slow your game progress and sometimes make you not want to play. The graphics are lovely and some areas can be difficult especially if you have eye problems, the timer goes off too quickly. You can not enjoy a level and take in all the surroundings while on a search this is unfortunate. For those of you who buy your way through, I would say your not up for a true challenge, shame on you. Well done.
