What can I say? This has been one of my top favorite mobile game apps. Puzzle games like this are my favorite. I even have a whole book on Search and Finds. Finding this game was great and definitely helped me kill time in between my Minecraft gaming. Ive opened all available maps, completed 1 level minimum of each puzzle style (classic, paired and timed) for each map, finished all the thieves smaller puzzle, completed a few puzzle hunts challenges and even completed 1 month of daily puzzles. I’ve paid for have the ads removed. I know there are still ads if you want a free bonus like a compass but that’s expected. I’ve experienced that in other phone games. I’ve even signed in with my Apple ID and Facebook account to keep my progress synced however lately, I’ve been experiencing gameplay issues. The fps has dropped significantly. While I have no proof of exact numbers, I can best describe to change as going from a steady 60 fps down to 15. I’ve played on Wi-Fi and with data and there is no difference between the two in terms of the frames drop. The screen will jump when I’m zooming in, tapping on the item I found, and even following the compass path. It’s been going on for a while now and it’s starting to impact my ability to keep playing. I do come back because I enjoy the game overall but this frame rate drop has been increasing my desire to play something else.

Loads of fun and time flies when playing but I do have some pet peeves: 1) View of game jumps inexplicably. If I zoom in the screen sometimes jumps and zooms out or if I’m trying to see more of the landscape it jumps and zooms in to a different part of the scene. 2) There should be a view where the entire scene is visible so you can find items that aren’t close. In pairs, I’ll see one item and when I locate its pair, I loose where the other one was. 3) move the stationary icons off the page. The way you can minimize the tray of items, the other icons need to be off the scene so they’re not in the way. 4) Needs another mode…how about find all the balloons or all the cats or dozens of ribbons or vases or mushrooms in a scene WITHOUT being timed. 5) When will existing scenes expand to see what’s behind the clouds? Too long between updates. And one of these reviews mentioned a scramble option… where is that? 6) My biggest PET PEEVE… all objects aren’t there when scene opens. I was looking for a boomerang pair in the Sports World scene. I knew where it was and tried to find right when I started but only ONE was there. After finding more and moving the scene around a bit, the other boomerang appeared right where I’d look for it before. Every object should be in place when a scene opens! 7) I don’t like the TOKYO scene… can’t discern the different objects!

I love this game. Reminds me of the seek-and-find games in the back of the “Highlights” magazines when i was a kid. The St Patricks Day tickets and Greek Vases scattered in the the different worlds are a nice addition. Would be fun to have the same kind of search thrown into the mix for other holidays ie Valentine’s Day, Christmas, Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, Chinese New Year, US NewYears, Japanese New Years, Eid al-Fitr etc. The reviews posted from JUEJUEY Sept 23rd and NOTAHOOF June 5th have some great suggestions. I like the idea of the stationary items ie Compass/magnifying glass off the page, added to the tray of items that can be minimized so they are off the screen. I play on my iPad and when I zoom in/out sometimes i hit the compass/magnifying glass by mistake. I use them sparingly as I love the challenge, but I can’t always purchase the packs in the store when needed. Thanks for such a fun game. I have enjoyed playing this game while recovering from major surgery. Keeps my brain busy while I am recovering. Looking forward to new maps-maybe a Mall Of The Americas for those who like to shop, National Parks, Jungle/rainforest, Nepal/Mt Everest, Machu Picchu, Scotland/UK, Isle of Skye, Rome/Italy, Amsterdam/Netherlands, Stockholm/Sweden, Croatia, Costa Rica etc. I have enjoyed the Japan map-I have looked up several of the items to see what they are, how they are used etc. Nice to learn about other places.
