Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2.6 times, so the range is wide. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

63 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ The idea is cool but money hungry developers.

Bugs, things not working11%

24 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ I ran in to an issue with the game constantly resetting with a server error.
★★★★★ This game has way too many bugs and it uses energy WAY TO FAST.
★★★★★ You've broken the trust of your customers!
Lost data, sync, backup11%

24 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ I takes almost a whole day to restore 200 energy for 2 mins of game play!
★★★★★ I don't mind spending money for a game 3 bucks here 2 bucks there but why spend the money if the energy is gone in minutes.
★★★★★ I deleted the game the moment it said GD that is taking my Heavenly Father name in vain and is the worse curse word you can say this language needs to be removed and any other bad language the game doesn't even say…
Worse after an update10%

23 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ It's been years and no update.
★★★★★ I played this game years ago, and thought I would see what had updated since then.
★★★★★ Also, I've been playing this game for a year, more or less, and I don't recall having to update.
Too many ads9%

21 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ You barely get any energy, you have to watch so many ads if you don't want to spend money to play the game in a reasonable time frame, and the energy decides not to recharge all the time.
★★★★★ Sure, you can watch ads for more energy, but it takes 20 ads to max out, only to play another 5 minutes before running out again.
★★★★★ They make sure the ADs are disabled so you have to pay money for energy!
Slow, laggy, battery9%

21 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Beautiful graphics, engaging story, but Energy too hard to get, fills too slow, have to pay a lot to be able to play just a little while.
★★★★★ The energy in this game takes forever to refill; 23 hours just to get 200 energy, and it runs out too quickly.
★★★★★ If you want to play for free it will be a very long game over several months if not a year to complete for you will only be able to play for 5 minutes a day for the energy refresh rate is brutally slow.
Crashes and freezes8%

19 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ For some reason, the game won't open beyond musical introduction.
★★★★★ Just spins and spins and doesn't load.
★★★★★ The game won't open at all.
Missing features4%

10 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ The story line is good, the graphics are good and characters move fluidly around the scenes — but the lack of skill needed to play the game and the amount of 'energy' needed are huge drawbacks.
★★★★★ The lack of transparency from the developers brings the game to 1 star.
★★★★★ The developers keep repeating the same things...that they are working on new chapters, that they understand our frustrations, and to join their Facebook page for updates...even though there haven't been any updates.…

  • Can you make the energy faster to fill up? 3★, May 23, 2026

★★★★★ Similar as murder in alps game, I enjoy this game, it fit well, the character and everything are perfect as well energy that gave 3000 than murder in alps that gave out 1500, but here the deal, this game it's…
★★★★★ Game is lots of fun, but have been waiting for a very long time for the wedding bells version to come out!!
★★★★★ While this is a fun game, it needs help.
Fast7%

12 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ First, the energy depletes too fast, to get a hint takes 3 ads, and lastly, it frequently hangs.
★★★★★ The energy does drain a little fast , I'd rather just pay upfront an amount to purchase the game as it isn't cheaply made compared to the very low quality mystery games out there .
★★★★★ So many pros, good mini games, engaging storyline without the typical romance saga, gameplay was smooth, I never got tired of the new twist.
Worth the money3%

5 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ The only con is the limited life for free.
★★★★★ Whenever you use 1000 energy on one app, you can click to receive 100 free energy on the other app.
★★★★★ So at that rate, if you play free then it will take over a month or two to play the game, and by then you forgot everything that happened in the story!
Useful, it helps2%

★★★★★Oct 15, 2026
No way to get clues once gone

I want to give this 4.5 stars. I don’t like once you use all your clues there isn’t away to gain more. I also don’t like how long it takes to rebuild energy and that energy drain for each hidden object you find. Other than that the story line is great. The graphic is good and it’s fun to bad you can only play 10 minutes a day. I think it’s a game for the creators to profit from because they suggest you purchase more clues and energy a lot.

★★★★★Oct 10, 2026
Storyline good; Skill level needed and actual playtime are poor

The story line is good, the graphics are good and characters move fluidly around the scenes — but the lack of skill needed to play the game and the amount of ‘energy’ needed are huge drawbacks. It takes 24 hrs to get ‘full energy’ returned and you can use it up in 3 minutes doing one ‘scene search’ and having a two sentence conversation. The lack of skill is equally as disappointing as every mini game seems to be a hidden object find. I’m torn on whether I’ll actually finish this game even though I think I’m close to the end (started in July - maybe I’ll finish by Christmas?!). If you download it, be prepared to take 6 months to finish it. Also, from other comments I’ve read, people have been waiting 4 years for a Chapter 2 that still has yet to come out.

★★★★★Oct 3, 2026
New Mystery??

When is the new mystery coming? Been waiting over a year😒

★★★★★Oct 1, 2026
Still waiting

I downloaded this game a while back. It was impressed with the graphics and the storyline. The interactive characters was great. The ability to move fluidly from room to room helped me focus on the play not the mechanics. I’m disappointed that the next chapter has taken so long to load into this app. I’ve checked every couple of weeks but still nothing. I also play “Murder in the Alps”. It was a fraction of that time for a new chapter. I’m starting to think no new story is coming. I would like to be able to begin the story again. That may help the wait.

★★★★★Sep 30, 2026
Fun enough

The plot was rather easy to predict, but the hidden objects were creative. Kept claiming new games were on the way….FOR YEARS and …still no new games.

★★★★★Sep 28, 2026
Not hating

I hate how there’s so many try to find puzzles. Can we just like find the one thing that we need but I love the game though lol
