Pretty decent game
Nov 20, 2020 This game has great artwork and for the most part I haven’t noticed any grammar or spelling mistakes. There are so far no bugs to make note of. However, like most games of this type, there are auto hints (which I hate. I haven’t checked settings yet to disable). There is also the annoying forced tutorial on how to play which makes you use hints. Those things are minor preferences of mine. What I didn’t like is that the game makes you play hidden object before it unlocks match gameplay. For a while I thought I misread something and downloaded the wrong game, but no; it was just developer’s preference for how they wanted to present the game. I really like the game so far though. It reminds me a lot of King games. more -
Insanely expensive to play
Jan 2, 2021 Fun game, lots to do, however, the amount of money it gobbles up is like being at a casino. You to keep buying tools to get through various levels. And if you have bad eyes, forget it. If you want to spend $30 every few days on a game, good luck. As with so many of these games, the demands on purchasing necessities is outrageously expensive. I purchased jewels to get the tools not realizing the amount of jewels it takes to get the tools. Rapidly gobbled up. oBeware. It is a fun game, I really do wish the cost wasn’t so steep. Yes, you can play free, but at a snails pace. You must renew energy, and if you’re having a bad streak, you lose that scene you will get docked a ton of energy just because. I think I’m reading this correct. Correct me if I’m wrong. The -15 in the red? My eyes have been problematic so it may be a bit easier with perfect vision. I like finding the clues, but some days I do the jewel challenge as it’s less strenuous on your eyes. Again, I do still believe the cost is quite significant. So I’d give it a five if not for that. I’ve not had an issue purchasing for other games, but they don’t gobble it up rapidly either. more -
May 20, 2021 Love to game!! But 2 things wrong. First you can't earn enough gems. I can't finish the end of the Baskervilles. No gems. Very frustrating! Second when you use certain British words people don't know what to look for in the searches. Please tell me that there's another way to get the gems! I can not afford to pay for them. If I could I would. more -
Jun 5, 2021 Starts well but then you can't finish levels unless you pay for extra help which doesn't guarantee you to what you need . This game is the biggest con I have ever played .Spending time looking for items that are not there is not my idea of fun. On the rare occasions you complete the task there are NO assemblers and some of the levels cost more if you win than it cost to play more -
Game plays very smoothly, but can't complete quests.
Jan 27, 2021 Update: Developer contacted me one day after I posted this review, I have received the gems I paid for. The game play is very smooth, stable game, even on an older device. ———————————— Previous review: This isn’t my first rodeo, been playing hidden object games for years. I know how it works, you have to play some scenes over and over to get the thing you need to finish a quest. These games are designed for the house to win (get your money) and I know the limits of playing for free. You don’t get much help from the game, boosters only give you coins or experience and those are few and far between. Boosters for time, energy or helpers have to be purchased with gems. But I need 2 clover to finish a quest. I have been playing for a week without successfully getting one. It is very disheartening. I think the steps to completing a quest should include all the parts you need. And I was running out of gems to buy helper items. So I was really excited that an offer popped up on Jan 8, a Super Deal, 99 gems for $1.99! I paid for it, got a receipt from Apple, saw that the money was taken from my account. But the gems never appeared. I contacted G5 support, opened a ticket, sent them a screenshot of my game, a copy of the receipt, everything they asked for. I haven’t heard from them since Jan 13. It’s been “passed along to the Technical Team.” [Issue resolved] more -
May 20, 2021 Love these puzzles! Right now my problem is that there is an update to the Alice in Wonderland part that isn't downloading. Idk if anyone else is having this issue, but that is the only reason I have changed my star rating. The graphics are great, playing the games keep you guessing on where they hid the objects and nice that you have quests to complete. more -
May 28, 2021 I was loving the game but some levels are ridiculously hard if you don't have help. Some objects are damn near impossible to find . And it ridiculously hard to win thing that can help. plus I played one level 7 times and won everytime before it gave me a quest item. Definitely deleting since i have been stuck on one level for 2 day. Just takes to long to get prize's that will help. And the boosters are hard to get if you don't have gems .not fun very frustrating. more -
Lovely Distraction
Feb 10, 2021 I have been playing this game in the evening for a bit after work to help shed the stresses of the day. I miss being able to go out and walk around town, and exploring the fictional worlds does help some. I cannot wait for this COVID situation to be more under control so we can think about going out to a bookstore or to the local park again. The graphics are good, the music is lovely, and I have been a fan of Sherlock Holmes for a long time. I don’t spend money on in app purchases, and haven’t reached a point where one feels forced to spend money on boosts . . .yet. If I di, I will update this review. more -
May 15, 2021 A magical adventure! I've played many Hidden Object games and this, so far, is one of the best. The overall story is clever. The individual "Book" stories are fun and well thought out. I'm quite enjoying myself and I haven't had to spend any money either, so that's a plus. I hope that continues to be the case with this game. That's always my biggest complaint about the other games. I know that the devs need to make money, but don't try to squeeze every last penny from your players. Great job! more -
Good.
Feb 27, 2021 The game looks to be well written just like your typical G5 games. It’s good and entertaining but with everything that G5 makes it has its issues. Energy is a thing, which in my opinion it shouldn’t be, I want to play for hours but it forces you to stop in order for your energy to completely return. Another thing that I noticed was that it said it was a match 3 game when that’s not entirely true, at least in the beginning. It’s a nice touch that they let you choose how to tackle the levels but the whole energy situation is always a thing you have to contend with. Especially when you don’t want to pay real money to continue playing. more

Sherlock
Apr 7, 2021 The graphics and vocabulary used are great. The game is creative and challenging, but it is truly cost prohibitive once you really get into the game. And what is the use of earning gold coins? You can’t buy rubies with them, and you can only earn rubies very, very sparingly. It’s the rubies that you need to use to buy the devices you need to help you along the way. It is for these reasons that I downgraded the gaming experience, am contemplating deleting the game altogether, and have not mentioned it to friends. I need certain assemblers but can’t earn them even though I win the game. I do spend money on this game but come on be fair. Please consider making it plausible to earn assemblers without having to MOSTLY use crystals. UPDATE. I just recently deleted the game even though I enjoyed it. I simply can’t justify spending that much money on a game. Perhaps you might consider making things more reasonable to buy. Best of luck. Update...The bottom line is to make the game more affordable for a wider range of players especially during this long drawn out pandemic. more -
Frustrating
Feb 8, 2021 Every time I go to find an object, it’s not there until you find other objects. Majority of the time, can’t accomplish quest because what you need doesn’t show up even after you find all the required objects in the showcase. If you have to spend money to accomplish quests, then this game is not worth the time. Games are suppose to be fun not frustrating. Will play a little longer but most likely will uninstall for no other reason than I don’t enjoy playing games that lead you on. Update: DELETED GAME!!! More frustrating! Never got anywheres. Stuck on assembling collections; no new items to acquire. Never could get needed parts to complete quests no matter how many times I would go to scenes or I I investigated or played 3-match which was more frustrating! Wanted to acquire different collections not the same one over and over! Many people may enjoy spending money to acquire “items” but not me. If you have to spend real money to play a computer game, I’m not interested. I realize many people enjoy this type of gaming; just not me. more -
May 23, 2021 Really enjoying this frustrating game! Downgrading to 2. Ok an update. Game says Ready to assemble. But it's not really ready is it? I'm missing Assemblers. I'm missing Acorns. Fair enough. So I go search for Acorns. And search. And search. And search. I'm successful with each search. But no acorns. 10 times! Get everything else that I already have multiples of. BLOODY BORING as the English say. It's an obvious ploy to get me to buy acorns! Enough! more -
May 23, 2021 Why make it soo difficult to give us the items we're looking for to complete the quest ? Even so we the players are buying the oh soo expensive gems, the game is very addictive and soo wonderful. So don't make it so frustrated for us the player, to feel the illusion the we're winning, we the players know that this is a business winning is the reward to making us happy. Thanks for the attention to my question, hope you take my criticism with my good intentions towards a happier play time. more -
May 22, 2021 Graphics are good and the array of hidden object scenes are quite varied. The match 3 games are also quite challenging and fun. The assemblers you will need never seem to materialise so you have lots of unfinished quests unless you want to spend all your time at the shop. Spent money to progress and still no assemblers and rediculous amount of moves in match-3 games meant you can't progress without buying at the shop. Energy rewards are very thin on the ground. I am now uninstalling. more -
Only 2 Stars....
Jan 17, 2021 I am an avid gamer and even though I really enjoy the graphics and the storyline, the game is geared towards my wallet rather than true game play. During these very difficult economic and emotionally challenging times (my husband & I have been battling COVID since the week of Christmas and are still quarantined as we still have serious symptoms) the last thing I want or need to be doing when trying to “escape” reality for a bit is not be able to play a game successfully for any reasonable time period for lack of tools/ boosters etc. It would be beneficial if the coins could be used to purchase a larger variety of helpful items rather than REAL MONEY during such difficult economic times for so many around the globe. more -
Jun 2, 2021 Do not like the one item at a time format. Uninstalling. Was ok when it lasted. Do not want to play with others or have to purchase things. Not worth the time sink for the frustration.

Fun!
May 16, 2021 So far, this is my favorite hidden object game of this variety in the App Store. I love Sherlock Holmes, but the addition of the other library books makes this even better. Your energy replenishes quickly enough, and the hidden object scenes are absolutely beautiful. (I don’t play the match 3 games, but it’s nice that the option is there for those who enjoy them.) It would be lovely to be able to unlock wallpapers of the various rooms, but maybe that’s already a feature and I just haven’t discovered it yet? Anyway, it’s a marvelous game that keeps me coming back for more! more -
May 31, 2021 This is the 4th game of this type (finding objects) that I have tried. And the 1st I've been able to play for a long time without having to buy something or running out of energy. Kill graphics too. -
Nanaeme
Nov 20, 2020 Awesome so far! I like the choice of doing the match 3 or look for objects would definitely recommend this app! I'm so enjoying this game. I've had troubles with other G5 games but this one is amazing. Very relaxing and no problems so far and few ads. It's frustrating when you don't know what they're asking you to find. It's definitely getting harder but still enjoy it. Ok this is my 5th rating I made but still no new books. What more can I say. I LOVE THIS APP ‼️👍🏻‼️ more -
May 27, 2021 Been playing for hours and I'm not tired of it yet . Does need a way to get hints better and faster. Relieved your comments but as you go through several levels I get stuck k and still is no way to get hints ,so I quit and start over hoping I learn enough to keep my rubies to get hints as I level higher. Still having a problem. more -
May 18, 2021 So far I really like there game! Of course I've only been playing for a few weeks... I think once of my favorite things, though, is that you have a choice between match 3 & hidden picture =) Keeps things a little more fun and a lot less tedious! more -
May 24, 2021 Graphic is stunning, music is amazing, but....unbelievably difficult. You cost a lot of energy for nothing, because you can't find the object what you want, only the energy give away. 🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨 Used to be 5 stars, but now only 3 stars.... more -
Great fun!
Apr 13, 2021 I love hidden object games. This is similar to many others, and I like the literature references & clues. The artwork is beautiful. Story is good, moves along quickly. My only suggestion is this : make the picture BIGGER for those of us with vision issues. G5 games never utilize the whole screen, which is very frustrating for me. It’s difficult to see objects that are so small, I can only play a little while before my eyes hurt. Consider making the entire screen playable. more

Jun 5, 2021 It is very annoying to constantly receive invitations to other games when the device’s memory that you are playing on is already full which means you cannot accept the invitations because you cannot download the games you are invited to. Also, it is completely necessary to have the option to instantly delete these impossible to accept game invitations because I just downloaded this game and already had 27 impossible to accept invitations which took an unnecessarily long time to delete and I had never even heard of this game before today. more -
Seems to be a riff on other G5 Hidden Picture Games
Oct 21, 2020 I have only played the first picture a handful of times but it seems to be similar to any other G5 hidden picture game. But, like Hidden Treasures, there is the choice for playing in Hidden Picture mode, or in Match 3. I have just the first picture open so am making an assumption that you will have the choice in the rest of the pictures as well. I am level 4 and just received the first two awards. One thing, you can not buy compasses ( or what ever they are called in this game) with coins. That will make this one a bit tougher to play without using actual money to buy gems/crystals, which I refuse to do! more -
May 16, 2021 I love the game!! It helps tremendously with my neurological issues. Playing has helped train my brain for more efficient and effective time management and problem solving. However, I don't seem to receive side missions and I wish there were more ways to earn rubies. more -
Challenging games
Mar 2, 2021 Sherlock has twists on familiar books, colorfully illustrating the plots. Each has hidden objects with several levels of difficulty. Although I don't usually buy tools, I found for the most challenging tasks, I could not complete the goal without helpers. Since the game does not run ads every level, I decided to purchase a basic package. Along the way, some tools and energy are provided, so you can play without purchases. It also helps to add friends, who can Gift you an item each day. If you are on Facebook, Like the page, look for the post with players' names, and Invite. more -
Enchanting and generous, then suddenly it’s really hard.
Feb 15, 2021 This game is intoxicating. The music is enchanting and elegant. They are very generous with energy, not like the usual stingy games that barely give you any time. And it’s not in your face every 5 seconds for a purchase. The storyline is clever, abundant and imaginative. Then it suddenly got really hard. It’s nearly impossible to win the things I need, and what was so generous earlier has dried up, and purchasing things is ridiculously expensive. I have no problem supporting a game that isn’t trying to break my bank, but I’m about done here. more -
Sherlock.
Jan 15, 2021 Fun. Love Hidden City. This has some of the same elements. But, this game is very expensive if you want to buy any tools. Rubies don’t go very far. For example, 7 rubies will buy 10 mirrors in Hidden City but you need 21 rubies for Sherlock. And rubies cost the same for both games. The mirrors are a little different but gosh I don’t think they are 3 times as good. Also energy always runs out. Of course you can buy it but also very expensive for what you get. So if you want to play for an hour you will run out long before that. Please make rubies less expensive or lower tool prices. Thanks more -
May 23, 2021 The best and most colourful graphics I have ever seen in a game. Worth playing just for them. Only drawback the game itself is no different to any other seek and find game.

May 20, 2021 Love to game!! But 2 things wrong. First you can't earn enough gems. I can't finish the end of the Baskervilles. No gems. Very frustrating! Second when you use certain British words people don't know what to look for in the searches. Please tell me that there's another way to get the gems! I can not afford to pay for them. If I could I would. more -
Jun 5, 2021 Starts well but then you can't finish levels unless you pay for extra help which doesn't guarantee you to what you need . This game is the biggest con I have ever played .Spending time looking for items that are not there is not my idea of fun. On the rare occasions you complete the task there are NO assemblers and some of the levels cost more if you win than it cost to play more -
May 20, 2021 Love these puzzles! Right now my problem is that there is an update to the Alice in Wonderland part that isn't downloading. Idk if anyone else is having this issue, but that is the only reason I have changed my star rating. The graphics are great, playing the games keep you guessing on where they hid the objects and nice that you have quests to complete. more -
May 28, 2021 I was loving the game but some levels are ridiculously hard if you don't have help. Some objects are damn near impossible to find . And it ridiculously hard to win thing that can help. plus I played one level 7 times and won everytime before it gave me a quest item. Definitely deleting since i have been stuck on one level for 2 day. Just takes to long to get prize's that will help. And the boosters are hard to get if you don't have gems .not fun very frustrating. more -
May 16, 2021 I have played much harder objects to find, but this game was enjoyable and I liked it. Good scenery pixs to see objects and great coloring to make things stand out. I only played a couple of the find 3 same objects because I like to look for hidden objects much better. more -
WHY???
Apr 10, 2021 I was at 4 stars until all the Easter Baskets and their "updates" have messed my game up so much I have to turn it on and off several times just to play an hour or two! One time I have a full Easter Basket, the next time I load the game, I have NO Easter Basket. I went 3 or 4 days without a Basket and thought they must have changed how long they were going to keep it in the game and then today, viola, it was back, empty. I played the game, collected the 5 packages for the Mycroft gift and of course it didn't give it to me. I closed the game, came back on and again, NO Easter Basket or gifts. I thought when they "FIXED" glitches it was supposed to get better! Not this time around! more -
A three-wheeled bicycle? Really?
Dec 6, 2020 Nothing great about this game. You get to choose whether you want to play a match-3 or hidden object game to pass a level. I don’t like having to “find” parts to a mystery be random chance in order to advance the story. In this case, you don’t find them in a scene. One may be randomly awarded after completing a scene. That’s how they get you to pay. Also, they don’t use the correct names of objects they’ve hidden. Be on the lookout for a three-wheeled bicycle (that would make it a tricycle!) and banner-shaped pennant (pennants are usually flown from a ship’s mast, which I difficult for a vertical banner). I’m sure there are many more to come. more

Sherlock
Apr 7, 2021 The graphics and vocabulary used are great. The game is creative and challenging, but it is truly cost prohibitive once you really get into the game. And what is the use of earning gold coins? You can’t buy rubies with them, and you can only earn rubies very, very sparingly. It’s the rubies that you need to use to buy the devices you need to help you along the way. It is for these reasons that I downgraded the gaming experience, am contemplating deleting the game altogether, and have not mentioned it to friends. I need certain assemblers but can’t earn them even though I win the game. I do spend money on this game but come on be fair. Please consider making it plausible to earn assemblers without having to MOSTLY use crystals. UPDATE. I just recently deleted the game even though I enjoyed it. I simply can’t justify spending that much money on a game. Perhaps you might consider making things more reasonable to buy. Best of luck. Update...The bottom line is to make the game more affordable for a wider range of players especially during this long drawn out pandemic. more -
May 23, 2021 Really enjoying this frustrating game! Downgrading to 2. Ok an update. Game says Ready to assemble. But it's not really ready is it? I'm missing Assemblers. I'm missing Acorns. Fair enough. So I go search for Acorns. And search. And search. And search. I'm successful with each search. But no acorns. 10 times! Get everything else that I already have multiples of. BLOODY BORING as the English say. It's an obvious ploy to get me to buy acorns! Enough! more -
May 22, 2021 Graphics are good and the array of hidden object scenes are quite varied. The match 3 games are also quite challenging and fun. The assemblers you will need never seem to materialise so you have lots of unfinished quests unless you want to spend all your time at the shop. Spent money to progress and still no assemblers and rediculous amount of moves in match-3 games meant you can't progress without buying at the shop. Energy rewards are very thin on the ground. I am now uninstalling. more -
Only 2 Stars....
Jan 17, 2021 I am an avid gamer and even though I really enjoy the graphics and the storyline, the game is geared towards my wallet rather than true game play. During these very difficult economic and emotionally challenging times (my husband & I have been battling COVID since the week of Christmas and are still quarantined as we still have serious symptoms) the last thing I want or need to be doing when trying to “escape” reality for a bit is not be able to play a game successfully for any reasonable time period for lack of tools/ boosters etc. It would be beneficial if the coins could be used to purchase a larger variety of helpful items rather than REAL MONEY during such difficult economic times for so many around the globe. more -
Jun 2, 2021 Do not like the one item at a time format. Uninstalling. Was ok when it lasted. Do not want to play with others or have to purchase things. Not worth the time sink for the frustration.

Frustrating
Feb 8, 2021 Every time I go to find an object, it’s not there until you find other objects. Majority of the time, can’t accomplish quest because what you need doesn’t show up even after you find all the required objects in the showcase. If you have to spend money to accomplish quests, then this game is not worth the time. Games are suppose to be fun not frustrating. Will play a little longer but most likely will uninstall for no other reason than I don’t enjoy playing games that lead you on. Update: DELETED GAME!!! More frustrating! Never got anywheres. Stuck on assembling collections; no new items to acquire. Never could get needed parts to complete quests no matter how many times I would go to scenes or I I investigated or played 3-match which was more frustrating! Wanted to acquire different collections not the same one over and over! Many people may enjoy spending money to acquire “items” but not me. If you have to spend real money to play a computer game, I’m not interested. I realize many people enjoy this type of gaming; just not me. more -
May 23, 2021 Why make it soo difficult to give us the items we're looking for to complete the quest ? Even so we the players are buying the oh soo expensive gems, the game is very addictive and soo wonderful. So don't make it so frustrated for us the player, to feel the illusion the we're winning, we the players know that this is a business winning is the reward to making us happy. Thanks for the attention to my question, hope you take my criticism with my good intentions towards a happier play time. more
What’s Groovy
I enjoy the stories, the searches, & the match 3 games, but I spend too much when I get stuck. It would be nice to not be able to spend real $$ for things to assemble collections when the item is found only in a specific area/story that is no longer available. Don't like the frequent pop ups to buy stuff now, but overall, the game is fun & I am enjoying.

What’s Subpar
The game is very interesting. The graphics are just too good. I found it quite similar to the Mirrors of Albion . I deleted that game because it's no fun if you simply can't find the objects.My only request is please try to place objects in a manner in which at least a few can be found. Even on zooming there are very few objects that one can spot. Unable to play this game any longer. Too demoralising.
