Hey Everyone, I love this game so very much but sometimes I wanted extra help, so I purchased some hints. Now, when I try to complete an episode (after I’ve run out of said “purchased”hints) and have only 1 or 2 items left to find…they will NOT drop on the screen! ALMOST as if the game is now “forcing “ me to want to buy hints again BECAUSE you get so frustrated because u can’t do another episode UNTIL you find that 1 thing THAT IS NEVER DROPPED ON THE SCREEN! Rip off? Rigged? Force spending? I’m NOT SURE BUT THEY ALL FEEL AS IF ANY ONE OF THESE EXAMPLES COULD BE TRUE….I really hope not…wonder if I get a response from the developers…like I said NOT 💯 sure BUT SURE FEELS a bit rigged… UPDATE…I never sent this review…it’s been just sitting , waiting for me to hit send…in the meantime I had still been playing the game…and I think I simply got frustrated because sometimes the last items you need will NOT drop! However, I decided this time not to PAY ANY MONEY AGAIN for hints AND to SEE if the DEVELOPERS would eventually put those items on screen?? I’m HAPPY to say that THEY DO! You might have to simply WAIT! Which isn’t the best option but it’s better than what I previously thought!!! Yaaay! GREAT JOB to whoever came up with this game!!! ITS ALL I PLAY NOW❤️ MY FAVORITE GAME👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

This game starts out wonderfully. The artwork is fun, the levels are interactive and sometimes require some puzzle-solving which is pretty creative I think, but the more you play, the more pop ups there are. You get pop up for coins you’ve “won”, pop ups for hints to spend the coins on, pop ups to spin a prize wheel, pop ups for daily prizes and collectibles…. I kind of just want to look at the beautiful level and find stuff but instead I’m struggling to see a good chunk of the picture because all of the sides of the screen are covered in alert icons trying to sell me in-game stuff I don’t want. It’s annoying, but I can deal with it just to chill and hunt for stuff, but as you progress through the game, the ads get obnoxious. I understand the app needs to make money, and I’m too cheap to pay ten bucks to go ad free for 30 days, but it’s frustrating to be enjoying a well-done game just to be interrupted every couple of minutes with a reminder of how many objects I have left to find and a mandatory ad. I’d rather pay a small price to actually buy the game up front and then not have to worry about it instead of being hounded to pay ten dollars a month for no ads. Seems steep to me.This is small potatoes in the world today, I know, but I was really liking shutting my brain off for just a second and finding silly things in the levels that are clearly quality. The incessant ads make it not worth it. Bummer.

I loved this game when I first started playing it but after a few levels you realize you’re playing the same scenes over and over until the next stage level is unlocked. 😕 So the first few levels of each level are fun (because they’re new), then they just repeat over and over until, FINALLY, the next stage is unlocked. It ended up being frustrating, having to repeat the levels you’ve already completed, several times, before being able to move on to the next scene. If you like repetition, you’ll love this. I don’t, so I’ll be deleting it now (after having gotten to the end of the levels you can see in the app). It seems lazy to keep repeating levels (items are in the same exact places they were last time you completed them- 3 or 4 times). I’m giving 4 stars (instead of less) because it is fun when the levels are new to you. Stops being fun when you’re forced to repeat them several times before getting new scenery and when you remember where things are, it’s kind of boring. Watching ads for different clues was cool, though, and I did that a lot thinking I’d need them, which I didn’t except to try and get it over with so I could move on. If you just like finding things, this is good for you, even if you’re finding the same things in the same places. 🤷🏻‍♀️

July 2024:I had to update my rating from a three to one since all my progress was removed (acct is linked). Old: If you have money to throw away then definitely lose some to get rid of the ads. That is the only thing that ruins this game. It’s extremely poor placement and rate. The ads are in game every 1-2 minutes of game play 0_o then they pack the screen up with gimmicks. Such as hints and free stuff. Non of these things fully disappear and are always blocking your view while searching. For the next issue I’m not sure if I hate it completely or if it would stop if you paid to have the ads stop. Every minute or so when the ad plays the map refreshes and more items are added (or moved but I’m pretty sure it’s added). So when you think you cleared an area you in fact haven’t because the map would add more to that area once the ad end. The occasional “mini hunts” (when you get to enter a property) never change. It’s the same “challenge” every time. The positive: I still haven’t deleted it. In part because I haven’t search for another that would be better. I love SN but that one has even worst gimmicks with the energy consumption. This game would improve if the developers hid the items from the screen and placed adds on items only. Such as, want something for free +AD, want to spin the wheel or collect earnings or move on to another map +AD. All of which they already do but can be as anal with it on those things than in an active search.
