The Hidden Treasures・Mystery 4+

This game is fun, with interesting characters and story lines. My suggestions are:
1) Tweak the settings so that there is a no time limit option for elderly and arthritic players;
2) Add an option so that one can reduce the music volume (which is quite loud) without turning the sound or the music off completely.
3) Make similar games that do not require either compromising security by interacting with strangers on Facebook or spending a fortune to assemble collections within a typical human lifespan. Perhaps you could ask for a (one time) fee of $30 instead. Between the pandemic costing many people income loss or even their jobs, and rising inflation, many people cannot pay high prices for recreational items because they need most of their income to pay for essentials like food, the rent/mortgage/condo fee, clothing, medical bills and utility bills. This is likely just as true for your company’s employees as for your customers. A fee might be a way to keep the game affordable, yet also for the company and game developers to get a decent return in exchange for their efforts.

I really liked this game at first but it got impossible to win. Like all these games the collections you have to accumulate to get rewards come with “extra” objects that are difficult at best to obtain enough of so right now I have about 8 collections I can’t complete for this reason. Part of the reason I liked this game was because it gave the option of playing hidden object game or match 3 games but the last 2 areas I opened are strictly match 3. Not cool to change up the game like that. I love match 3 games but I always end up deleting them because I don’t have the income to pore lots of money into them to get power ups that don’t really help that much and certainly don’t guarantee you’re going to win a board. My standard complaint on all these “free” games is I wish they would just charge a set fee to purchase and have the things you need to play within the game like on gaming platforms such as XBox. These free games if you want to play cost too much money for little reward. I get the developers have to recoup costs but it’s ridiculous the amount of money they expect players to spend on them to get ahead. Thanks but no thanks. I’ll now be deleting yet another free game due to this. Too bad. I was actually enjoying it.

Don’t download unless you’re prepared to put real money into it because you won’t get ahead and will just end up frustrated.

We are grateful that you took the time to express your concern. Note that the game is completely free for downloading and you can have fun and progress in the game without making any in-app purchases. Our players’ support really helps us develop the game further and create more exciting content.

I think this game is great. It improves your brain and observation skills without making it too difficult to reach the next goal. Some games are so difficult to reach the next level that people get bored and lose interest. As I said this game is great and fun to play. Please make more games like this one, it’s enjoyable. I can’t say enough good things about this game. Thank you, Ken
P. S. I forgot to add one thing when players are searching for clues and get deducted 5 seconds off their time because they picked a wrong spot it causes people to rush to try and beat the time. Rushing causes mistakes people will start to feel like they don’t have a chance to win, that causes frustration, people play the games to relax and have fun. Just a suggestion you want to take the 5 seconds deduction out of your games. Your games are truly very good.
Thank you again, Ken
