reviews
I thought this would be fun. I've given time but it gets worse. I sent this to the game devs, word for word: The worst! Levels get harder no matter what the level is rated . Even the "easy" are hard because some of the items don't even look like what they are supposed to be. Also no one on my friend list plays this, and I have hundreds and hundreds of, game playing friends, so I can't give or receive gifts. DO NOT PLAY!!

At first really enjoyed the game but the developers need to listen to the feedback. The timer is ridiculous on some of the tasks and trying to find some of the objects when playing on a smart phone is impossible. It is obvious that most people will pay via their phones so the developers need to bear this in mind or they will lose subscribers. When games are advertised as free people will not pay to progress so their interest needs to be sustained or they will uninstall.

Fun game but eventually gets so difficult that it's impossible to pass some levels without extra help from tools. Absolutely hate the cloud levels. You get very few stars and coins for completing levels and the cost to complete tasks or purchase extra lives is very expensive. Some of the gifts you get are a waste because they are timed and you only have so many lives. Also, the story line drags out even if you press skip.

The game is fun but I have a couple of issues. 1. It takes way to many stars to complete tasks, either the cost of completing tasks needs to be reduced or the prize needs to be increased. 2. There aren't enough Mini-games, they are the reason I downloaded the game but they get less and less frequent. Other than these it's a good game.

It wont let me give no stars. It's not even worth one You click on items and it doesn't register. You have to do it multiple times. Often screwing you over. Then there is the timer. The clouds that literally make it impossible at points to see.Then what you have to spend ur winnings on. Think I care about that cat. Put Garfield outside. not that great. Could be way better but the creator's obviously didnt care just wanted to put a game app out

Firstly, the time is too short. You could add more time if the person finds objects fastly. The objects are too blended in I don't think it does anything to improve eyesight, but I get that it's to look beyond what you see. The amount of coins to "play on" is humongous compared to the amount of coins you win per level, it's unfair. I don't get why I need to wait for energy bar when I passed a level, it's equivalent to waiting for lives in homescapes. Lastly, coins to build are too expensive.

I had high hopes for this game given the high star rating but I'm uninstalling it. The levels on this game are insanely hard I love hidden object games but the time in this game is so unforgiving and the objects sometimes are so tiny and so blended in it's nearly impossible unless you use power ups. I also think the amount of stars required to complete tasks is really high even when you get 5-10 per level it's like 27 for a rug. All it did was give me a headache to play this. So disappoing.

Game is cute, but I really hate the timer. Really wish they would take that aspect out. Would make for a much more enjoyable experience. Oh, and the mini games are pretty much nonexistent. I know that's how they market games now - funny mini games ads that don't actually represent any game play. Still misleading advertisement. Ultimately this is just a picture search game, nothing more.

I like hidden object games, and feel like I am good at them. Not great, but good. This game is fun, but very tough. Also the rewards don't match the story part of the game. You usually get 5 stars when you win a game, but putting up wallpaper in a room costs 16 stars? Then you get a hard round and spend all 60 energy points to get 5 or 7 stars and can't escape until you win. Why couldn't I pick from a list of games with different dificulties and a sliding scale of rewards. That would be better.

Update: the higher levels are impossible to pass unless you pay for help. 60 seconds to find 2 of every item? Get real! Good game where you try to find hidden objects. Sometimes the objects are hidden a little too well (I think they cheat), but mostly a good game. The biggest thing that bothers me is the first time doing a scene I get all this help when I don't need it and don't want it, but the scenes I have to do multiple times and am really struggling with, I get no help unless I buy it.

Overall this is a fun game. I love the search and find instead of the typical match three. It does become repetitive with placing rugs, lamps, wallpaper, etc. I have two complaints though. The first is that the decor is pretty awful with color combinations. The second is the worst part of the game. The further you get the more often you get their "hard" and "super hard" levels. The real reason these are so difficult is because they give you less and less time to complete the scenes.

Unable to get past certain levels without the option to change the mode of the game. Might be cheating, don't care. I don't have the patience to find paired matches and no way to earn extra time or anything to get past it. Must delete also because the pairs are too small to find on the mobile app. DELETE!

Absolutely in love with this game❤️It's beautifully designed, well thought out gameplay, excellent music that matches the aesthetic, good dialogue and even manages to tie in mini games in a relevant way. I like how they even gave Carl a social media for extra immersion. I also like that he's more capable than most sidekick characters in these types of games. This is probably more then you needed to know but I like my reviews to be thorough. ????????????

I enjoy this game but find some levels very difficult for the time you get. Also, when you win a game, it would be great if you got the next game free and only use points to play when you lose as when your on a winning streak and your points run out is kinda frustrating. Also too many points are used for small tasks. Other than that it s a fun game

Graphics are nice. It's a find stuff on a page that's full of details with a timer that's too short. I mean really short timer. This game wants to force you to pay and pay and pay some more. I have no issues with paying a reasonable amount that helps support Devs but heading towards being a money grab early on puts you off. Only reason for two stars are the nice details in the game. Game deleted.

Love the game. Not so much the timer. Some items are really hard to find so I would not recommend for children. Not crazy about the compass as it does not show you where exaxtly an item is. It just lights up when you are close by.edit 5/20/21 Compass is not so bad now, when it lights up just tap the compass and it collects the item for you.

The gameplay and controls are pretty decent. However, it's one of those games where you can't play the game as much as you like, you have to wait for your cash-grab/ energy bar to fill. Also the time given is sometimes very little and I can't enjoy the game that much because I end up replaying the same scene 5-6 times even when it is supposedly easy. Especially in a game mode where you have 20 seconds to find an item. In all, a mediocre game with a lot of potential.

It's actually a pretty fun game. My only complain is about the ridiculous amount of stars needed to complete a very simple task. I need to complete at least 3 levels (more than 15 stars) just to set up a table? Ridiculous. One more thing, it'd be better if we could play the lucky spin more than once a day. We could use coins or watch an ad (I personally don't mind). Thank you.

I like this game, the timer is a pain but keeps things a little interesting. I love the fact that you don't make things easy when a level or puzzle has to be repeated, and change the items locations and the different ways its been hidden..... I can't wait to see what other puzzles i'll unlock and what the rest of the manor will look like.

I really enjoy playing this game, the levels are definitely challenging at times but achievable. The issue that stops me from giving this 5 stars is the use of Americanisms, for example I was looking for a spade it turns out it was actually what the English call a trowel and Pennants, we call bunting. This can be very annoying at times.

I like that it's challenging, yes it is hard, but not too hard! Sometimes it takes me 3 or 4 attempts to complete a scene if it is a super hard level. There's lots of different scenes, more as you progress and many variations of the basic hidden object game. It can be slow going at times as you only get limited attempts before Carl runs out of energy. I wouldn't spend on it as you can't buy a permanent upgrade, it's all just silly money for stuff you use up quickly. I quite enjoy the renovating.

At times some of the objects are hidden behind the fixed game options and information on the perimeter of the screens. There are times when you have to touch an object multiple times, especially if it is long like a cane. Then you run out of time. At times I can beat the clock but it doesn't register. Who decided to put the items you are searching for on the bottom of the screen when your hand is covering them. It takes time for your hand to leave the screen and read the list and go back.

Love this game but not for beginners, for example, if they ask for an Owl...you have to understand that you might need to find a real Owl, a toy Owl etc ???? Update: have played for a while and discovered that winning a scene is like being with the Avengers and picking up Mjrlnir and everyone's like "Yay! You Are Worthy????!" and then Thor comes up, takes it and says "No You're Not!????"...come on devs, let us keep our energy...WE ARE WORTHY!!!

Purchasing the 'safe' with extra coins is a scam. I was under the impression that for $3.99, the safe would be with you for the entire game. Not just 1 time. What a friggen waste of money. I don't recommend and after only 1 week, am starting to lose interest. I'm glad it wasn't real money I lost and it was only soon to expire Google Rewards money. The challenge is good but it's starting to get boring when you can't progress through the levels at a reasonable pace unless you spend $$$$$$$$$$$$$.

I like the game alot. However, giving just TWO minutes to find objects that are harder to find isn't very fair. Even with the extra few second free bee, the more you level up the harder (and more objects) it is to find. I've been stuck on the same level and have used all of my free bees, ive even bought some and still...Frustrating! 5 minutes would be more reasonable especially after leveling up, I think..

The balance is the worst thing here. In fact, there is no game balance at all. Level designers failed to do their job as they always do for the new Playrix games. I am your fan, dear Playrix, I've seen that before. Please, you've mixed a good story, a lovely appearance and Carl seems to be brave, reliable and nice character. But the game is literally unplayable on smartphones, even on top new ones. Fix the level design, you did fixed the Homescapes, and you can do better for the Manor Matters.

Good puzzle game. The levels are varied without feeling cluttered. The story is interesting. The graphics and character models are nice to look at. It has good difficulty progression and it's satisfying to see your progress reflected in improving the environment of the house.

The game is absolutely incredible...I would like to rate five stars but for the last few days I am not able to open the activity area where I have to spend my stars that I have earned...I thought it was because of the network issues but it's been three days ..so for the last three days I am just completing the tasks without being able to spend the stars so I would like to help me as soon as possible as I am really loving the game exc ept for this problem that I am facing. Thank you.

There's a bug with the dialogues, sometimes instead of the text shows a code: "SCN_3_DIALOGUE_1", etc. Also, the animation of everything is so slow, when I tap something the animation has to finish to interact again with the item and that's a bit annoying. It's ok with the animations, I like it but if I can tap again to speed-up the animation would be more than great.

so i figured that I cannot write a review twice. so I'm rewriting it. the previous review was about the game itself being difficult like the level is hard to beat. for my new review. I kind of discovered that they usually put the things to find at the usual places if someone's noticed it, so it's kind of cool that way at least we can somehow manage to beat it. i gave max stars for the rating because they made more options for us to acquire energies (used to be able to play). so kudos developers

This is a nice game but most of the hidden objects did not appear on the screen everything seemed dark so that I couldn't find any hidden objects on the scene which was actually very irritating to me☹????,then I decided to take some help, they said you must have an updated version but when I decided to update this game I didn't find any update option.

I love the game but the fact that I have to pay for five or six hours just to get 20 stars to help renovate the scene is disgusting you guys should be able to play the game and get at least three stars at every try not one it's sometimes discouraging to even just stop playing cuz knowing at the end of it my reward is only one star

love the story line. hate the mechanics. you sit and get right back up 5 minutes later from running out of energy!?!?! i wish there would be no energy but the game is longer so that way you cant beat it in one sitting.(edit) i recently just beat the 3rd day of the hall and my game reset????? what is this? thats was like months of progress gone? i even had it saved to my google account and it said i had no previous account. not cool. unles i get my progress back im uninstalling

Really enjoying this game, even though I can't beat the clock very often, but practice helps. Warning - it is addictive and I keep playing when I should be doing other things. Might send your blood pressure up when it takes a few attempts to beat the clock. Seems to be getting harder as the game progresses, but still love it
noname197498, the 27/05/2021

All in all it's an interesting game, but after a while it becomes a bit too hard because of the timer. I don't think anyone could solve a puzzle that fast without any help. Also, I noticed that in the guest room we don't have much choice to renovate the way we want to. So we basically have to do more work for less prizes. I think you should really read the reviews and fix the stuff that people complain about, you got potential.

Absolutely love this game but I had to knock one star off because it's impossible to play on my phone - some objects are literally invisible unless you're completely zoomed in. Gorgeous hidden object scenes, ahd they do actually change up the appearance and location of specific objects upon repeat viewings of the same scenes. This makes the game more challenging but also so much more fun for someone like me who really enjoys hidden object games. Definitely recommend for folx with tablets. :)

Well it's an ok game but several issues u0026/or flaws or things that should b realistically dealt w/ in a timely manner such as: u make it almost impossible 2 find whatever pieces u need 2 find cause on many occasions u stick an item directly behind another u0026 ur lucky if u ever notice, u have 2 little time 2 finish, u give 2 little coins as a gift when u finish a level, any of ur variety of objects used as a big help ie. Timer, camera, paint assistance u0026 whatever else r WAY 2 EXPENSIVE etc....

I have installed this app on two different PCs using BlueStacks and I get the same results on both. After installing all I get is a black screen with the words Tab and Space at the bottom. I tried clicking them. Nothing. I tried using the space bar and the tab button and nothing. I tried waiting a much longer time just in case it is still loading. Nothing happens. The ONLY thing I have seen is a pop up for me to agree to TOS, which I accepted. Then it was back to the black screen again.

Well I do love this game but it's highly addictive and I'm sure it's designed to take your money. You cannot progress very quickly unless you pay. With other games you can play for hours at a time, with this game you'll play for a very short time if you don't pay for extra energy. I think the creators knew exactly what they were doing. You rarely get extra energy. The game becomes progressively harder, hence your energy goes in a short amount of time.

This COULD be one of the best games in Google play, but they don't give near enough time as you progress in the game. Some people have small phones and vision problems. I have both. I definitely don't recommend for anyone with less than 20/20 vision. I guess it's time to delete.
