The Secret Society: Hidden Way 4+

Fun Game - addictive but could use improvements

I like the game, play it all the time. Love the events and that you can gift friends. I just wish they would update a few tiny things. For example: The Gem match game timer keeps counting down even while you are unable to make any moves because chain reactions are occuring. It is frustrating to watch your timer count down to zero while this is happening. The timer should pause while the chain reactions occur and resume when the board is playable again.

There also needs to be a better way to sort your inventory, you have to scroll through so many pages it's impossible. There need to be subfolders, or it should sort by what you are currently in need of, or what is being used most frequently at the current part of the story.

It would also be nice if there was a way to earn a crystal each day, not everyone is in an income bracket that allows them to drop huge chunks of money every day on in app purchases. Create a daily challenge that requires an add watch that will allow you to get a crystal so that people in all income brackets have a change to earn them.

Glitchy but fun

I've just started this so hopefully it doesn't change. Fun game to amuse your time. I like the questlines. Very glitchy when it comes to the windows though. Especially if you have a window on a window. Example: You've clicked on a picture and want to click on an item you can win but instead of opening up that items window, it clicks the picture underneath of the window your in and now you have two windows up and can't "click" on anything but more pictures on the base layer. Also, be prepared to have 6 or 7 "buy stuff" windows pop in every time you load the game. And plenty of "buy stuff" windows will load in randomly through the game as well. Very "buy this to move forward" driven.

Letting go

I have been playing this game almost every day for over four years to decompress after a long day at work, and for the most part, I’ve loved the challenges, the intricate details and artistic imagery of most of the scenes, and the theme music associated with them. I don’t even mind that it’s a money pit in having to buy more crystals in order to fuel my additiction. And I've always looked forward to downloading the newest scene. However, in the past year some of these new scenes and their stories have been boring and disappointing, with none of the mysterious ambiance and magic of previous scenes, and their storylines have been repetitive. I’m referring to scenes such as family manor, christmas square, the circus, country house, and the worst of them all, pet show. I almost quit playing after that one, but really the last straw for me is the open air cinema scene that, while artistically gorgeous, has a storyline that is similar to at least one other scene that I’ve played. A game is no longer entertaining or relaxing when one is bored and irritated. So although I’ll be sorry to let this addictive game go after four years, I can’t justify spending more money just to end up disappointed.
