reviews
I love this game! The art is fantastic. I just recently downloaded and quickly got addicted. BUT, now I can't play because it won't allow me to move to level 86, stating it's downloading new levels until eventually saying there's an issue with my internet. I've re-installed the app, updated, tried alternate networks. Please help! I don't leave reviews typically but I'm hoping for a fix ????

It's beautiful and interesting to look at and fun and challenging to play. The special holiday events are fun and festive. They do a thorough job of researching the holidays and other types of special events from all over the world and showing you some cool stuff you may have never come across anywhere else. Learning can be fun no matter you're age!!! Love this game!!! My top favourite for years and they still find to places to go and more interesting things to discover!!!

great game, lots of levels,just love it,just Brill, never tire of playing, still the best, along with the other G5 games, cannot improve on perfection, fantastic graphics, and a comprehensive range of games, plenty of variety, cannot fault it.Still one of the best, your game developers are just amazing, thanks to them .3 months on, and still impressed, fab pictures and animation, just great, plenty of variety within the games, keeping people occupied during these unusual times.

I have played this game for years. Love the graphics and the challenges built into every level. I am, however, extremely disappointed that new levels are not being developed. After waiting months I have apparently exhausted all the game has to offer. You should spend less time soliciting my email and birth date and more on game development. I will now move on to other products available from other developers.

Love the game but it's hard to get shuffles and rockets. It also is expensive. Wish there were more levels. I have been going back to do chest rounds. The only problem I have is tge game is complete except for Japan. I can't get to it cuz it keeps saying it's downloading but never does. The whole game is done.

Above you say the update fixes my problem. What update? There wasn't an update!! Sadly the game is broken!! Fun game with cute graphics for each country. Fun facts. Can replay levels. Entertaining game! Suddenly the game will no longer let me collect the lotus flowers so i can't play the bonus anymore. It says it can't connect to the internet but other games are working fine. It won't even let me buy stuff thru google play!!

The recent changes will cause me to delete this game. I've been maxed out on new levels for a while now, but I could play old levels, to earn tokens for seasonal levels. But now, when I complete the seasonal level, I have nothing to do.

UPDATE: Challenges my brain and is fun to play. Good for eye, hand co-ordination. I really like the cute animal scenes on the maps. I like collecting the items. I hope to get all the collections eventually. Opened up a new level and really liked the new tiles. This game is good for getting away to visit other lands to see some of their scenic areas. Still 10 stars for me.

Quite a fun game. I love the graphics. The rules to matching is easy to figure out. The boosters are fun to use and help very well. And I love all the side tasks and puzzles. Great fun!

Great game bit annoying when you think you're got the gold slates and game ends and when you get the objects has you move on levels you check them and if any to click when clicking most time you get your stones but sometimes you don't..also what happens when you get to the end of travel how long before more gets added is there any information on when more travels will be added got to the end of my travels now all I keep seeing is more coming soon how long are we to wait more information

I think this game is just wonderful a bit confusing as to how I can pick things up an take them to the place to be restored my self an not but I love it. It really does need more reword than just one coin at a time or one snow ball at a time that's a let down.
noname165116, the 02/05/2022
________________________________________________
In the beginning i really enjoyed this game, but now that im further along all it does now is yes its harder they want you to purchase boosters some times i have no mistakes an might have 5 moves to complete an boom drops ends . Now how can that be no matter how many times you replay.. Im thinking real serious of deleting this game. Just not fun any more. After you have completed all the countries it says coming soon, an has said that for a year . So my question to you is When ? Ok im in Tiland

This game is getting ridiculous. I've waited about another month for level 2246 to start and when it finally came through it keeps telling me something is wrong with my internet connection . There is nothing wrong with my internet. I also noticed hundreds of other players are stuck on 2245. Fix your end so we can all continue playing this game.

Very easy to play like the tiles come forward as you progress on a level. There are some ads but they don't take away from the game. Don't like they keep asking for personal information like birthday and email address.

I love Majong games. This one is very versatile. How ever I dont like getting through a whole loop and moving to the next only to be brought back through what I already played to look for things that go into the Mansion. Why not have those found while in that section , instead if having a player thinking they are going backwords. That would give it 5 stars from me.. I AM NOW FED UP. IT WONT LET ME ADVANCE UNLESS I FILL OUT PERSONAL INFO . NOT HAPPY AT ALL WITH THIS GAME NOW.

Hello Mahjong Journey folks. I would like to trade you a few thousand worthless to me tools for other useful tools or for diamonds. They are not a"win"to me it not really. Please wouldn't you update the chests so you don't lose more than you win! ???? Chests remain too expensive to play.. Boring Subscription with more useless repeats Cancelled. But--Absolutely the most beautiful game on the market that I ve found. Thx Mahjong Journey. Best game ever.

Great game, very engaging. Levels do get more difficult as you progress which can be frustrating and lives get used up quickly. Events have been fun so far.
noname375641, the 02/05/2022
________________________________________________
Very few ads. Maybe one every twenty levels I play. I'm past level 100 and have only been playing for less than two weeks. You do have to replay levels to get extra items for your house, but you don't actually Have to like other reviews suggest. You just get power ups and diamonds for doing the extra stuff. You only lose lives if you lose levels, if you're good and lucky you can keep playing for hours.
noname847687, the 02/05/2022
________________________________________________
To many gimmicks ranging from multiple power ups, to events, to resources to special deals buy now pop ups. The tutorials span over 13 levels introducing the power ups and resources. The music is nice but the constant interruptions ruin the relaxing experience and just make the game annoying to play. Would be great if they gave players a choice to skip the tutorials, honestly don't care to even use the power ups they make the game to easy and we can't even do that. This stinks.

There is something wrong with the game! It says I'm not on the internet when I am,it won't let me navigate to level it says I need to be on to collect cherry blossoms! This is going to mess up my reward collection! And if I can't collect cherry blossoms I can't finish bonus level...help

Very challenging... I'll be playing this game fore! Getting to be harder to get more than one star. I'm about ready to give up. ???? I had a stroke so it's very challenging for my brain and my finger to come together. I do love the game, so I'll keep playing. ????

It is still the #1 game for me. It is very addictive. Cannot put it down. The only slight downfall, it seem to take a long time for new levels to open up. Also it takes too long to receive more diamonds.
noname906389, the 02/05/2022

I love the graphics however, I do not like how all the tiles stay lit! It makes it hard to see the tiles in play. I would like to see this changed. Overall 4 ????

________________________________________________
This game is never boring. I love the artwork and all the different ways you can go to obtain your goals. Only drawback is having to spend money to ensure you have boosters to help in game advancement. Still love this game! The game needs better chances of obtaining boosters etc without having to constantly buy ways to move forward in the game. Please consider having us spend so much money to advance....I will have to stop playing due to the amount I am putting into the game. Tyvm

I like the variety of sceneries and boards. It's very relaxing to play and holds my attention for a long time. I don't become tired of this game. It's hard to stop playing. Too much fun! I just updated to enjoy more games. Very addicting!

Love the graphics. Some levels you cannot win without using your boosters. Also, there's been trouble getting updates, sometimes they're automatic , sometimes not. The new Singapore levels do NOT allow you to earn any chargers/boosters. I've written to them regarding the issue and they responded for me to update the game but no update is available! Frustrating. Won't be playing until they decide to fix it

Some of the special levels in Japan map (86-up) only shows "downloading files" but it doesn't load at all even if my internet connxn is very stable. Do we need another update/fix for this?

I have played this game for several years; installing on all my devices. Since the format of the game has changed from a young girl u0026 her grandfather looking for her parents to a house renovation? Seriously? There are a ton of "restoration" games out there. Why would you put something so inocuous in a really great game? I'm on the way to uninstalling this (used to be beloved) game
noname697927, the 02/05/2022
________________________________________________
Overall a good game but it crashes a lot recently. I spent so many time trying to pass a level but when i finished, the game crashed. When I re-entered the game, it didn't count that I've finished that level. Gonna uninstall if they dont fix this soon.
noname372296, the 02/05/2022

This is awful! A SCAM! Find a different Mahjong App. You spend all this time getting through the app and then it FORCES you buy diamonds to continue. With the guise that you can improve on previous levels to earn more diamonds and move on. But I earned 3 stars on all and still did not receive enough to move forward.

Absolutely amazing, brilliant and addictive still playing, keeps your brain ticking.i cannot believe the time it is taking for more levels, i have been stuck for a few weeks now, very disappointed.

Fun backstory for a challenging game. Would give 5 stars if there were more quests to complete. After about level 250, the story stalls and it's pretty much just mahjong at that point.

Fun game no need to buy items to advance. (even though you don't have to pay to play I am finding that some thing are impossible to go any further with the aid af paid over Fun game love playing this just to no have to worry about life.

2nd time I post review here for this game. Are they being removed? Still stuck at lvl 40. Door to 41 won't open. Fun game but support is useless. Left feedback through game menu. Never got any reply back. After last update problem still not resolved. I tried on other phones, on 3 different phones game stuck on lvl 40. I uninstalled it and went on with mahjong city tours. Looks terrible but works like a charm and the boards are fun.

Inability to turn off irritating notifications or ads and no in game way to contact you u0026 tell you. Also, made it to Paris level and decided to restart the game as I wasn't allowed to advance anymore, couldn't win anything. All I was doing essentially was using up battery for no reason~ you should be able to advance without buying gems if you play enough. Was to the point where I couldn't even advance in the contest either~ if ur not allowed to win a level you can't win the tokens

Fun and yet can be hard. I can spend hours playing it if I let myself. I love that you can go to different broads and win prizes. The graphics are cool and the little ceatures are too cute! I do love the mini games. I just wish I could get more 3 stars on the mini games:( I haven't been able to play my game in the last month and an update. It just freezes, or it wouldn't even open:( Someone help, please!
noname59292, the 19/09/2025
________________________________________________
Game has been frozen for a few weeks. Prior to that, it was fun to match tiles. There is an inane, unnecessary storyline. It takes a long time to progress from one level to another without making in-app purchases. While waiting for the administrators to repair the problem (there have been a couple of messages declaring that they are working on the issue, which they expected to have fixed by 7/9 then 7/15. It's 7/27 u0026 does not work.
noname295977, the 19/09/2025
________________________________________________
What a deplorable game. You wasted my time by making me go through that slow login process, only to discover that my progress was lost. As if that wasn't insulting enough, the puzzles' difficulty are enough to make you dependent on those shuffles, etc. Even something as simple as undo requires money to purchase.
noname874296, the 19/09/2025
________________________________________________
It's been freezing up today and I can't get on to play! What gives?? Update: I did all the things the Support Team said to do with no luck. It freezes constantly and I can't play. You have a glitch somewhere, not me! I have no problem playing other games. SOOOO disappointed as this is my #1 fave game.
noname758243, the 19/09/2025
________________________________________________
The tutorial is way too long and infantalizing. 10+ levels in and there's still annoying explanations and forced power-up usage that even a kid wouldn't need. They force you to submit an email to sign up for a G5 account and then ask for more personal info (such as birthday), so I assume selling data is part of how this is free. If you don't go fast enough, you get a bad score, so not for relaxed play at all. Other than that, it's an incredibly average mobile game.
noname57932, the 19/09/2025
________________________________________________
I've been playing this game for a long time. It used to be 5 stars until this latest update where there is no longer a timer. PLEASE, BRING BACK THE TIMER! It's near impossible to get more than one star and to know how close to 2 or 3 stars you are. It seems this game gives you zero room for error now. If I take more than 3 seconds to find the next matching tiles, that's it game over. I feel like it's a tactic to make you spend money on the game to unlock the levels. If something doesn't change, I'll have to uninstall. I don't want to since I'm almost at level 1100 but it's just unrealistic and frustrating to me now more than it is enjoyable and relaxing. Such a shame.
noname587280, the 19/09/2025
________________________________________________
It is good and fun but there's NO choice if you want to opt out of tutorials. Plus most levels are way too hard to solve forcing you to buy shuffle or other help tools to help you solve the puzzle, the tools that you can use to help you solve the puzzle is very hard to get so you will be forced to buy them! It's all about money! I hope they'll give them more easily and I also hope they'll make the levels a little easier so I will continue playing this game and will not loose my interest on it. Thank you.
noname555736, the 19/09/2025
________________________________________________
Changing my review. Game is not as bad as I thought. A lot of problems are mitigated when the collection mechanic unlocks after level 25. But still, the special offer pop-ups need to be reduced by half, you should not ask for people's birth date when they make an account, and I still think the timed event levels are not worth it for the rewards you get, unless the same event will eventually come back again and I can continue where I left off. We'll see. At least the main game is now fun.

Good spin on regular Mahjong. The graphics are great and the game is as fast paced as you want to make it. Game sometimes lags because of "curtains", "talking" u0026 "characters". I am not a fast player. I am obsessed with getting 3 stars when I play any game so I tend to play rounds over until I get those 3. In the beginning it took me a while to get used the game. I really love Mahjong and enjoy this version.
noname466179, the 19/09/2025

One of my favorite games. It's always challenging. Keeps me interested with rewards, incentives u0026 freebies. A couple of the "side challenges" there from the beginning have come u0026 gone, so I'm hoping I'm not nearing the end. The ads are there but are no worse than other games. Update - still one of my faves that I play daily, so it's pretty high up there.
noname5535, the 19/09/2025
________________________________________________
Addicting, downloaded to maybe play at a later time, but haven't stopped playing once I got started. love it. There should be a way to earn more diamonds, and shuffling besides buying them all the time though. A person can only earn a few but are costly to buy considering the items you use them on cost so many diamonds to purchase. Fun, but costly. There are always other puzzles to play besides the ones that take the item of the month, but it is fun to try and get those. Neverending hours of fun.
noname722746, the 19/09/2025
________________________________________________
This is a fun game, I play for hours especially when my anxiety is up because it takes my mind off everything else. The difficulty levels are up u0026 down throughout the game so it's a good balance. There's so many things going on so it doesn't get repetitive u0026 makes it enjoyable to play for hours. I love this game. The game is updated but the puzzles say downloading in everyone I click on u0026 can't play. It's been like this for weeks u0026 is pissing me off. Even the puzzles I have already done. It's BS
noname664342, the 19/09/2025
________________________________________________
I only just started to play this game, and it is interesting so far, but I am used to the tiles that I can not get to yet being "dull". Meaning that only the accessible tiles are "highlighted". So this kind of bothers me/turns me off from the game. Also, the constant "dialogs" that pop up are annoying. Other than those two things, I do like that there is a goal/purpose for completing levels, and that you are able to redecorate and unlock new rooms.
noname660498, the 19/09/2025
________________________________________________
Mahjong Journey used to be my favorite game... and then in one day it was ruined for me. About a year or so ago the developers changed the settings for how challenging it is to obtain stars to advance to the next set of levels. Where before I had advanced to level 460, after the change it has now become virtually impossible to pass several levels with more than one star, leaving me stuck. Forever. It is tragic when developers ruin an amazing game. Allow people to choose difficulty level. Shame!
noname340795, the 19/09/2025
________________________________________________
The last update said the game play was easier, which it isn't... can't get three stars unless playing a level like 100 times. Also, they changed the rules on special boards. So now even if you get three stars on each level of the special game board, you don't get a statue. Now the game forces you to get/collect items that the software may or may not award. On the special board that just ended, I was two items short of the entire collection, w/3 stars on each level, and no reward. Sucks!!
noname848457, the 19/09/2025
________________________________________________
Loved this game, however the further you go the less you can get more than 1 star per level. In order to elevate to the next section I had to buy ? to move on. It seems unless you have ESP and can find every match within a second you do not get more than 1 star. A friend of mine, who is also an avid mahjong player deleted the game after about level 200 for the same reason. I'm at level 380 and am just frustrated. Also, the mansion section hasn't been updated in a long time.
noname664394, the 19/09/2025
________________________________________________
Disappointed Up until 2 days ago I'd have given this 4 stars. However, today is the second day that the game keeps freezing immediately after loading. I'll give it a couple of days to sort itself out, after that I'll delete it. I have tried uninstall ingredients and then reinstalling the game. Ive checked all my phone settings even though nothing on my phone has changed.
noname758569, the 19/09/2025
________________________________________________
Still playing almost every day! I like the new firecracker/rocket booster, but I dont like how after matching the gold tiles, the meter drops from 5 back to 1 before giving credit for the remaining tiles on the board. Now its almost impossible to get 3 stars on individual levels. Please fix this detail? Edit 3/2021 The issue seems to be fixed. Thank you. Edit 4/2021. Still playing! Edit 5/2021 Still playing, but kinda bummed at how expensive the in game purchases can be. Not a lot for the price

This is such a fun and challenging game!! Good brain u0026 eye/hand coordination exercise. Great support team! Many levels, tile designs and scenes. The levels corespond to various countries around the world. There are geographical facts in each country's scene that a player can chose to read by clicking on a text callout. It periodically displays pieces of trivia at the bottom of the display between game play. It is truly free! In-game purchases are completely optional. Highly recommend this game!!

I also need to let u know that when ur trying to get an egg it makes it even harder to win ! U also can't get three stars on any of the levels! Which is one of the things u really want to get cause u get more eggs! U need these to help u move on, I'm having so much problems with that? I'm at level 100 n the only time I got 3 stars is at the very n then beginning of the game! Levels 1 thru 10 I keep trying n trying, but no luck!?
