So this game is pretty fun. It is your typical merge game there is a little mystery to it but it’s not a hidden object game as it first appears to be. There is some hidden stuff of course but you have to merge items on a board to uncover. It is fun though and you don’t have to spend money but it will take you a bit to advance as you will have to wait for your energy. I still enjoy it

The game is charming and a favorite, light, quick check in and play for a few minutes type of a game. The artwork is decent and there is enough challenge in figuring out how to collect everything that it keeps you going.Unfortunately, there are a few drawbacks as well. There’s some inconsistency to the many items that require a wait before use. You can always use gems to speed up wait times, but one annoyance is that some things give you a countdown and some do not.Also, some items are from special or rare events. While some of these events happen more regularly and frequently, some do not. It’s difficult to tell if an event will never recur, leaving a question of whether to abandon and delete collected items from the event to get more space, or keep them around.And while the developers of the game seem to be doing behind the scenes updating once in a while, it feels like they aren’t really developing the game. They seem to be on autopilot, which is enough to keep gems (which are in app purchases) bringing in enough income to keep the game around—but without a whole lot of upkeep.

Overall the normal gameplay is amazing, it’s well paced and I like how you can choose what you want to do. However I have a few pieces of feedback regarding the events that you earn new characters from. I’ve noticed unless your on it 24/7, have a lot of gems to pay for energy and time skips it’s almost impossible to even come close to completing certain events that earn you a character maybe shorten or make it easier for people to get them. That’s my only problem with it.

This is one of those insidious apps that only after you play for hours do you realize you need to pay real money to advance in the game. They are designed to be addictive and get people hooked. There’s no option to just buy the game and after that it’s free of course, they want to consistently take your money for months to come. Besides that, the game’s storyline is weak, poorly translated from another language, and not very intriguing. It’s not really a detective game it’s an improvement game (like clearing debris and planting flowers).
