Been a good game, bring back plz. I’ve been a consistent player since 2020, and have enjoyed most of the journey so far. Overall, the game is great. The graphics are wonderful, there’s no ads (BIG PLUS), and I’ve never had an issue with functionality. However, when I originally downloaded this game it was because the main gameplay was Search & Find. Which are my absolute favorite types of games, it helps me look closer at small details. I was smitten with this game at the beginning and played as much as I could. Now, unfortunately, I don’t play it as often because it isn’t particularly “fun” anymore. Simply put, it’s become another match 3 game with mayyybe a few scenes to search here and there. There are already so many of those M3 games out there, can you please bring that back? Maybe change it so there’s more scenes to search and a few match 3 levels in between (far and few) the search levels. This game was my getaway when the outside world was too stressful, but now it’s just frustrating that I sometimes avoid playing it. Match 3 games are purely based on chance (especially the purple & red levels) and those 5 lives disappear real fast. Maybe I’m a whiner, but I miss how this game originally was.

Frustrated. I want to enjoy this game. I love trying to complete levels, but I find it incredibly frustrating that you lose energy even if you win the level. I have played Gardenscapes for years now, and the most helpful feature is that when you win a level, you get to keep your life. It’s motivation to be sure you do your best so that you can play longer. I’ve been trying to enjoy this game for a few days now but I can’t get past my frustration that I only get six tries regardless of what I do in the game. I can see that there are tons of other reviews with the same complaint. Just change the format of the game if so many people have issues with it. Otherwise we’re all going to just delete it anyways. At least I am getting more sleep, since I can’t sit down and play the game for three hours straight I guess. 😂 Upon reading more reviews, it seems that you simply keep making up excuses, going back several months now, as to how we just need to read your “helpful tips” to enjoy the game. You are the developers, and the only ones with the power to actually FIX the problem. No one wants to go read a manual on how to win levels. Even if we win, we can only beat six levels in a row before putting the game away for hours to allow energy to replenish. We want to play the game and enjoy it.

Love it. It’s a great game. I’ve read a lot of the reviews and responses. I appreciate both sides. It’s frustrating and sometimes if you can’t break your personal best, you end up giving up paying for power ups. It’s the nature of any good game out there. The good thing is that you actually can pay your way past a level. With that said, everyone needs to realize that there’s NO annoying ads here. No pop up after each level. That’s one thing I’ve always LOVED about the playrix games. They’re beautiful and uncluttered with ads. Because of that, I’m willing to pay for power ups. A game has to make money somehow right? I’ve been hooked since Fishdom. I do wish there would be times of unlimited lives, groups to join (home and garden scapes) to ask for lives and win contests, and maybe some side adventures (like the dog training courses) as well. I also wish there was a way to choose levels of difficulty. Easy, medium, difficult. That might curb the feeling of being always trapped where you are. Thank you for having clean and beautiful games. I love that they’re ad free and fun. I can’t wait to see what’s next.

With improvement it could be one of the best games. Where to begin… The game has a great story line and very enjoyable, enough to keep me coming back each day. The rotation between the search and find puzzle, the mini games as well as the matching block puzzles, are not equally given for each level. I feel like I’m stuck constantly on my least favorite part of the game- the match and switch pieces puzzles. I’m fully convinced each hard level will cost money for in game boosters because I have been stuck on the same level for over 20 attempts and the only way I can beat it is by buying boosters each time spending a ridiculous amount of money on a game. If I wanted to spend that much money on a game I would go to a store and buy one that I can actually enjoy and beat. You will begin to realize the difficulty in the levels as you reach the mid 100 levels, it will be almost impossible to pass without ridiculous amounts of money on boosters. I love a challenge, but let’s stop with the amount of money you have to spend, a little should go much longer of a way, the very long drawn out story process where some of the tasks are pointless and the amount of stars it takes for each task.

I like it. But I don’t love it. To much of the game is led by chance (special moves on extremely hard levels that really are not that hard but you can do it only in a few moves, how dare I say? Luck is to much of play here trust me I’ve redone levels a doz times + and some of it and to much of it is left to chance. My real prob is when it decides to move your pieces around- and it’s on one of those super hard levels … I’m playing it like chess knowing my next move or so if this or that remains similar and bam everything’s flipped- or the arbitrary suggestions to not helpful points. Let us turn these weird aspects off. Lol and I mean setting a game difficulty is that to hard? Genuinely I don’t want to do those extra hard levels and it causes me to put my game down because I run out of lives right? Well when you pick it up 4 times more and are stuck waiting on luck and a couple days pass because your playing when you can well guess what? That’s less time playing your game. I’d be playing quiet often but it’s miserable sitting on the same part for days and sometimes whole game goes down for a week then like it’s not the goal here right? Let us play and not have a game set by chance w minimal turns lol and minimal lives etc as for the week and find I mean sometimes you could use a better word to mean something- I know it’s fun to be fancy or old world but like sometimes …. I don’t want to do a level over because what’s a this or that until it’s shown to you after

New update 😔. When I first got this game I loved 😍 it immediately. I liked that it was challenging but logical in a way that you really had to pay attention and think. I also liked that the coins that you won from each level were pretty sufficient to keep you playing. I enjoyed that you didn’t need some special currency, only obtained by spending real money, to make the game enjoyable. I had also really enjoyed the fact that, unlike many other games I’ve played, when you beat a level you got the energy you spent back so that you could keep playing and not have to wait for your energy to fill up. The new update has changed that though and now instead of getting rewarded with your energy back to keep playing and enjoying the game, you don’t get it back anymore. I am very disappointed with the developers of this game because they had a great game that was fun and didn’t make you wait to be able to play it. They ruined it the minute they put out this new update and I hope they change it back because I used to love this game for it’s originality and now it just like every other game. I had hoped that when I rated this game that it would be a 5 star review but due to this new update I am giving it a 3 star 😔.

Enjoyable game but loses energy entirely too fast.. It’s rare for me to write a review but I felt compelled to do so. This game is actually very enjoyable to play while you can. It challenges your brain in a good way. I enjoy clearing out the rooms and making them clean, organized, and pretty with earned stars. However, it’s short-lived. You only get 60 energy points and it takes 10 to play a level. If you get stuck in a level after 6 tries, you have to wait to play. It takes two minutes to replenish one energy point. I spent $2.99 to get 5000 gold which is the equivalent of 240 energy points. Since it takes 10 energy points to play a level, you really only get 24 plays which goes a lot faster than you think. If you want to sit down and just play the game for any length of time, it’s frustrating beyond belief. I paid for enhancements twice, but then it was very clear that it was absolutely a waste of money because it was so hard to complete some of the levels that basically I used up a good chunk of my paid energy for one or two levels. It’s unfortunate because I think this game has all the features you want in a challenging game with a story and the ability to make things pretty. Too bad the energy situation is so frustrating.

Lack of energy. Played this game for 3 days. ONCE a day for 3 days, so total playing time is about 45 minutes, most of which was reading whatever Carl had to say. You lose energy even if you succeed in passing a level. You only get 60 energy to start with and the replenishment time was long enough that I didn’t bother returning to the game until the next day. It starts you on shadow hunts right off so you have not seen the item before hand and while some are obvious some are completely ambiguous. The search for pairs…find 2 lanterns at the same time but they will be different lanterns, NOT identical. Enjoyed the decorating aspect and I believe I would have enjoyed the story line as well but with 60 energy, using 10 per scene pass or fail, 2 minutes per scene your max play time is 12 minutes not including reading dialogue and decorating. Most scenes you will accomplish in less than a minute. I download games to play them not to play for 10 minutes then wait hours on energy replenishment to play again. To the game developers: please don’t bother with telling me the ways I can earn extra free energy. I don’t care for downloading other games I’m not interested in and other tactics to increase your total downloads etc. Great graphics, possibly a good storyline, just don’t care to crawl my way through. Not nearly engaging enough.

Okay but could be better. I love this game, that much is true. But I have a few issues with the gameplay. To start off the game uses cheap tricks to hide some objects. Once when I was stuck on the same level I had to buy a hint for the final item: the vauge outline of the dancer in the market place scene. I feel like the objects should be hidden cleverly, not in the background in windows (like with the study and the… parlor room I think?) and items shouldn’t been almost 100% obscured by another object. Another issue is with the hiding of objects through very small and well blended in things, such as the items hidden in the fabrics in the market place scene. I also believe that the Silhouette challenge should have white outlines included for the pictures. That way you can clearly see that: Oh! That isn’t two disks, that’s a box! I also think that the star price for most actions are ridiculous. “Really? 14 stars to put away a statue?!” I feel like events like the musical one (where you collect coins to buy new decorations based off of a theatre) should either be longer, cheaper, or have it be “You’ve collected 27 coins, blank now unlocked!” And have the coins act less like stars, and more like “collect 37 for blank, 46 for blank” so its more attainable! But a fun game despite all that!

Fun but Doesn’t last Long. I don’t usually write reviews but felt compelled to do so for this one. I love search and find objects ever since I was a kid at the doctors office with the Highlight Magazine. I’ve tried others but the graphics were not what they are here. Absolutely beautiful! I was really looking forward to this game and seeing the map of the house I was quite excited! Unfortunately, I’m not enjoying my time. The time it takes to clear a level takes so long. With double finds and silhouette making it difficult, sometimes what a pillow looks like might not be what your looking for because a neck pillow is unexpected. Then there’s items you just don’t know what they are. When you use your energy and clear a room, you still loose your life instead of keeping it in order to keep moving on and messes with the fluidity. Yes, the developer placed a daily wheel to win some prizes, but the tools alone are quite expensive and I’m tired of being hit up to buy energy. Again, beautiful graphics but the fluidity of this games is a constant “stop and go, stop and go” ... and takes too long to get through 1 room. The silhouette and double object challenges are not fun, booster packs are too expensive. I find myself putting the game away and playing something else. A game I can sit with for an hour at a time, in my evenings to relax. Sorry ... I wouldn’t recommend.

Love this game, but….. This game is really fun, I love playing. But…. You almost HAVE to pay to play. You barely win any coins, and the good tools are EXPENSIVE. You spend your energy quickly and then have to wait. I’ve been playing Township for years, love it, there are so many ways to earn coin and township cash. There is nothing to do in Manor matters while you are waiting for your energy to refill, which is like 20 minutes to have enough energy to play 1 scene, so there’s nothing keeping you engaged, like the side games that township has, plus side games are a way a player could earn more tools, coins, energy, etc. I get that they want you to get hooked and spend money, but if my energy runs out and there’s nothing to keep me engaged, I just close it out. Also it seems it will only connect you to people that you are friends on Facebook with that also play the game (in my case, that’s only 3 people) instead of expanding that to other players, and the only thing you can request or share is energy, which is typically in short supply. If people could connect and share not just energy, but tools, I think that would keep people playing. I really do love playing, I love the challenge of clearing the scenes, but I need more to keep me playing longer than 6 scenes

Well balanced. I was apprehensive about getting a game from this developer- I’m not a fan of Homescapes or Gardenscapes, but this game excels where the others fall short. For starters, the gameplay is far less repetitive. There are frequently new scenes, modes, objects to find, and places for objects to be found. The scenes are challenging, but never feel impossible (an issue I had with the Gardenscapes/Homescapes tile-matching gameplay). The artwork is very pretty as well. Essentially, the tile-matching mechanism in other games is a mind-numbing chore, but the hidden object gameplay in this game is actually fun to play! Additionally, renovating and exploring the mansion is a lot of fun. I really like that you can change the design decisions after you initially make them. The gameplay is challenging and pretty, the story is fun and interesting, the mansion has plenty of interactive options, and the “energy” mechanic is very reasonable (energy isn’t lost if you win the scene and replenishes fairly quickly). I definitely recommend this game! EDIT: Literally as I was writing this review, the game updated, changing the energy mechanic for the worse. Energy is now lost EVEN IF you complete the scene, and doesn’t replenish as you’re playing scenes. I’m really bummed about this, and I’ll be playing a lot less because of it.

Fun Game, Tricks to Make you Spend Coins. This is a fun game. I usually do not use real money for in game purchases. However, because you can only play 6 rounds at a time and then have to wait 120 minutes for your energy to fully refill I purchased some extra coins several times. But after each round it suggests you buy a power up with the the Okay button being the prominent option. I’m thinking Okay, I read this but not Okay use my coins to buy the power up. You have to really change your thinking to interpret what it says. It does not ask, Buy Now? Or a use any better clarification. I have to stop myself and remember that I need to X out of it in the top right corner like you would with an advertisement that you’ve viewed and don’t wish to be sent to the App Store. At least when you are sent to the App Store in other games you still get a chance to decide if you want to buy that app. I’ve wasted money accidentally hitting okay and thus losing the energy I bought to play rounds. Bad set up. The way I will solve this is to stop making in game purchases. The developer has refused to change this feature so watch out.

Amazing Game, Except for New Update. Edit: Bumped my review down a star because they now force you to play match-3 levels when I specifically downloaded this game to NOT do match-3 levels. Miss when this game first launched and felt unique. Let me start by saying I love this game. This is by far my favorite take on the “play mini games to renovate a mansion” style of game. The scenes are challenging but never impossible, and it doesn’t feel like you have to use power ups to progress. The game is beautiful, the characters are fun, and the story is enjoyable. Before the new update, you would spend energy to play a level and regain that energy upon successful completion. This made it feel like you were making progress upon a win and you didn’t feel punished when losing—once you beat a tricky stage, you could keep going. To me, this set Manor Matters apart from other games, since I didn’t feel forced to buy energy in order to progress. Now, you no longer regain energy on a win. You can only play a few levels before being forced to wait and come back later. I suppose this is supposed to make you want to return to the game, but it’s only done the opposite for me. I no longer want to come back to the game to play level after level, because I physically can’t anymore. If the energy system gets fixed, I’ll bump my review up to a five. Until then, this game is missing the core feature that made me choose it over others in the genre.

Game has gone downhill. I loved this game when I first started playing over a year ago. It was unique, a fun challenge and the best seek and find phone game I’ve played. I loved getting new seek and find locations and following along with the storyline. But NOW the game has totally changed. They took away all the newer seek and find levels and we’ve gone back to the same 5 or 6 older locations that are too easy to play. And the game has now added new candy crush like levels where you match items to crush and get a reward. Why did those have to be added?! They are too easy to complete, so not only has the game taken away newer locations, but they have also made everything TOO EASY and the challenge that made the game really enjoyable is gone. I have over 5,000 coins saved up because beating the levels is so easy that I don’t need to buy anything to level up. Manor Matters was such a great game, maybe they thought they were improving it, but instead the game completely downgraded. I try getting back into it but not only is the storyline no longer interesting and mysterious enough, the overall game has become boring. I hate writing negative reviews but I wish they would restore this game to what it was before. It was a true treasure before the updates that made it like every other candy crush wannabe game out there.

Engaging but can use some improvement. Let me start by saying that I play this daily so I definitely like it. But lives in this game could be depleted within 10 min and you’d have to wait to play again, which has never made any sense to me because as a developer, you want to keep people on your platform as long as possible. This also leads to illogical scenarios where you can win a perk in a challenge, such as 10 min of the paint tool or additional time etc., and yet not be able to use it because you just depleted your last 10 of energy when you won this. It just makes no sense, and contrary to what the developer claims, it isn’t that common or easy to replenish your energy, unless you are ready to pay for it (and I’m not). Now for the most annoying part: if you program a daily wheel, at least give people a slight opportunity for a jackpot. Here it’s so obvious that it’s been rigged to NEVER land on the jackpot that it’s funny. I’ve played every day for probably a year, so statistically not even getting it once is virtually impossible. Feels a little petty to develop a game eliminating any chance for someone to win something.

Fun game gone downhill. This game used to be one of my favorite games because i really liked the hidden object aspect of the game. It was unique from all the other “renovate a house” type games that were all match 3 and merge type games which i dont find enjoyable. But then came an update about a year ago, adding the dreaded match 3 levels that nobody wanted or asked for. Not only that, but the match 3 levels became the main type of level leaving very few hidden object levels which were too easy and not as fun. According to the developer, this change is irreversible which i dont understand. Just change it back. They mentioned trying to diversify the game but by changing it to nearly every level being a match 3?? At least make the match 3 levels much less common and only once every 5-6 hidden object puzzles. The match 3 levels have completely changed the game in not a good way. If i wanted to play a match 3 game where i could renovate a house i would have played one of the other like 10 games made by this developer. Now for some good things. The story is interesting and the characters are very fun and enjoyable. The task cost is well balanced and it doesnt feel like i have to complete 10 levels to do one task. It was once a really good game. Unfortunately, the developers were too focused on money instead of the players and ended up turning a unique and fun game into the same exact boring games that players downloading this game were trying to avoid.

Great game, if you put real money into it. So I really enjoy this game, it’s fun and can be a bit challenging! However when I first started playing it, the game was to find hidden objects. Now they added a candy crush like game and I REALLY don’t like it! Especially when it’s super hard, there’s no way to beat the game unless you buy their tokens so you can get special items to help you! Plus you run out of moves and unless you have tokens you just can’t beat it! I understand being a bit challenging, but making it impossible to win IS NO FUN! I’m now at a point where unless they get rid of the match and merge levels in done with this game which is sad because I really enjoyed playing it! I don’t mind paying a bit of money for tokens, it’s just now that most of the levels are the match a merge ones I feel it’s no fun anymore. PLEASE GET RID OF THEM! The game says it’s a find objects game, it doesn’t say merge and match!!! I’d give it a 5 star review but those levels are no fun. But even the find objects levels can be a bit frustrating when they call an object something that isn’t the right word. However I can handle that!

Great to terrible.. This game was SO GOOD for the first level/ room! I loved playing the “I spy” style levels, and the decor was very fun, beautiful, and achievable. There are always events going on that give you valuable items and boosts, so there’s no “money-grab” feel to the game. I have even paid real money a few times! It was at level/room 2 that I started to get annoyed—the room was broken up into 5 or 6 awkward, mismatched sections, and many of the tasks were not design related, but stupid things like “hang sword” or “answer door.” But there was still a good amount of design, so I pushed through to level/room 3. The third section is HORRIBLE. Not only are the majorly of the tasks stupid things like “build a trap”, “test the trap”, “fix the trap” (because you broke it testing it), and “set the trap”, but they are all very expensive. Not to mention the design of the room is very ugly, with even weirder segments and little items just randomly scattered around. But the worst part? A lot of the items you get to fix or “design” no longer have choices. They just give you what you get, like an ugly rug or table. I’m so disappointed. I’m hoping the developers just screwed up, thinking the game could be more story-line driven and less decor driven, but if level/room 4 is bad, I’m uninstalling.

Good but…. I really enjoy playing the game. I loved it when I first started but now it seems as if it’s impossible to pass levels without purchasing coins. The levels range from easy, hard, and super hard. You can never complete the bonus levels because you have to beat the game in order to find tokens for bonus games which is impossible if you don’t pass the level. Not only are the levels super hard and impossible to pass unless you play that round 100x’s, but when you’re on a higher level, you are constantly getting these hard levels and it’s becoming frustrating. I’ve been trying to stick it out until I complete the mansion to see all my progress but I’m becoming frustrated and just want to delete it. However, it is a good game with lots of twist, no ads, and very engaging; but you only have 5 lives and you’ll use them all on 1 level for weeks straight. If they could ease up on the challenging levels I may keep it installed but if not I’m deleting. Pattern = (1) easy (1) hard (1) super hard (1) hard then back to easy. To many challenging levels make it frustrating and boring.

First loved. Now…not sure I even like.. Had a lot of fun in the beginning (few months), then hit a patch of trying to get through a scene that’d take days. So frustrating! Some objects are NOT visible and show up when the game is over! I purposely tested to see if I was right and found it to be true half the time! Also, labels don’t match the objects in the scenes!! I’ve reported some things, but nothing ever changed. Apparently, you have to learn another name for “abacus” and “rabbit”, for example. (Note: When you can’t find the squirrel, click on the rabbit sticker on the suitcase! Seriously!). You have to play the room over and over before you can figure out what they’re referring to. There’s also spelling and grammar errors, so may be a bit of a language barrier. I’ve spent money on the game, which may be why I lasted this long. Few weeks ago, I found a much more relaxing game, that I can keep playing on the SAME life, if I didn’t lose — not so in this game. Btw, you can spent days to get through a scene just to collect enough to GIVE THE DOG A TOY!!!! I don’t want to give the dog a toy! I want to make progress and keep playing the game! Constantly, Start. Stop. Start. Stop.

I used to love this game…... I really loved this game at first but now they’ve added levels where you have to get items in a row, such as the candy crush games. I never liked candy crush so I hate it when these levels pop up so often. If I wanted to play a candy crush type of game, I would play candy crush. These type of levels didn’t show up until I was pretty far in the game so I don’t know if this is just a marketing idea to make you slow down in the game or what but it’s very annoying. I downloaded this game because of the finding hidden objects type of fun which is what I enjoy. Also, getting to use your rewards for upgrading the castle and uncovering clues. I have to keep having to spend more real money just to beat the candy crush levels and it’s annoying enough that I’m actually deleting the game now. Also, on the daily spin reward wheel, the game is set to constantly stop on one of the tools that helps you in the ‘candy crush’ levels of the game. And you can tell the game is rigged because no matter when you hit the button, it ALWAYS stops on the same stupid tool. I used to love this game and would love to keep playing but these annoyances are making it go bye bye.

Hard but fun... now maybe not worth it. I got this game thinking that the difficulty would increase over time however it’s hard and my kids gave up after level 3. I don’t mind playing a scene over and over however there isn’t enough lives to feel like you can learn where things are to know where to look before the item placement changes or the items needed change...that’s what makes it so hard. Levels like find one of three are super! Levels with clouds are annoying especially when the scene is newer and you don’t know the “go to” spots for items cuz you have never had to find those items before in the first place. That said, I love this game I like free games and I used to have a hard and fast rule not to make purchases for free games (cuz then it’s no longer free) however had to make an exception here. I would recommend keeping the scene the same for three turns prior to switching to allow the player a chance to learn the scene and advance. Updated: downgraded my stars from 5 to 3 I am disappointed in the new energy rules. Why would I ever consider using a special item or my hard earned coins to get to the next scene if I can’t keep playing? I liked that if I won a scene I could keep playing and the penalty for losing was not being able to play.

Search or memorize the tricks?. Really was a fun game throughout the first room, but as the game gets more difficult, the developers resort to tricks to hide objects. The cumulative effect is no more fun; the way to clear a level is to memorize their tricks and then be able to try all the possible locations and versions of objects in a ridiculously short time. The tricks include: an object might be realistic, or just an outline, or on a sticker, or a stuffed animal, or drawn in exactly the same colors as its background, effectively making it invisible. It might be any of those types, in any of a half dozen locations, and there are ten of those all to be identified in a few seconds. And all of those variable change with each try. So you may need to play a scene dozens of times to find and learn all these variations, and then be quick and lucky enough to hit them all in a crazy short time. Thats not fun, its just stupid. I will particularly complain about objects that are virtually invisible, due to being colored to match the background. At the end of a round, when stuck on one of these, the game will show you where it is, but I cannot see it at all, even when highlighted. Argh. Not fun at all. I have visions of the developers laughing at us and being so proud of themselves. It should be a game, not a hackers contest!

Disappointed. I used to love this game. I’ve had it for quite some time and am past level 1,000. I really liked the hidden object aspect of the game and how, even on higher levels they were adding new scenes or game modes to make it challenging and I got to use stars I earned from beating levels to progress a story and renovate the mansion. I returned to playing after some time away to find that a match-3 game mode was added, which would be fine if it now wasn’t the majority of the game. I have to play through at least 3 match-3 games before I can even get one hidden object game. And when I do get a hidden object level they are normally too easy. And some of the match-3 levels are just unfair and based on luck, no matter how much they say they are all beatable, the pieces change every time you replay a level. There is some random element of chance that can make a level practically unbeatable unless you use power ups. Some power ups you can get for free, but then you have to purchase them. I’m at a point where I’m stuck. I don’t have enough power ups and I’m unwilling to spend real money to just get through an element of the game I dislike. I would be willing to possibly spend money if it was an aspect of the game I actually enjoyed. I just wish the focus of the game had stayed the same. If they wanted to try a match-3 mechanic, maybe just one of those to every 3-5 hidden object levels. Although I really would rather it not be included at all.

Great Game!. I love this game and have been playing for a very long time and something I have noticed is when you get on a winning streak it will eventually make you lose! I just experienced it again and it really upsets me because I worked hard to get my power ups and keep them! I had the extra time the camera and the magnifying glass and I was on a roll! But the last scene I played I was trying to find the last item which was a ruler and I found it and repeatedly clicked on it and even tried clicking around it thinking maybe I’m not hitting in the right spot. It then took 10 seconds from me and so I used a magnifying glass from the bottom power ups to show exactly where it was thinking maybe that wasn’t it even though I was positive it was and sure enough it was and so i tried clicking it again and again and it wouldn’t let me have it and I ran out of time and lost all of my power ups and my winning streak! It really ticked me off because this has happened to me a few times before. I have weeks where I can’t barely pass a level and get stuck on some for days and then I have winning streaks and this is very bothersome and needs to be fixed! Otherwise it’s an amazing game!

Great game - needs a little fine tuning. I play several Playrix games and have never been disappointed. I find them challenging and, while sometimes it might take me several tries, I eventually get through each level... until this game. I appreciate a challenge though have been very frustrated with it due to not enough time to clear almost every scene within even a few attempts. This Playrix game is different in that you can go close in and then expand the screen. That’s a great feature but, given the extremely short clock time, it’s nearly impossible to use that feature and complete a scene. Please add at least 30 seconds to the standard time clock. Update: Became more and more apparent that this game provides a lot more frustration than fun. It’s too bad, as it has some great features other than not enough time given to clear most every scene. Will continue to play the other Playrix games though am deleting this one. Response to developers - There’s a balance between challenging and fun. I don’t believe having just 2 minutes to complete a scene is enough time to meet that balance.

No tangible benefits to paying for boosts. Let me start off by saying that the game seems well made; the art is beautiful, the animations are fluid, the manor story is intriguing, and the game runs well (on my iPhone 13 Pro). The I Spy puzzles are challenging and fun, and I relish the difficulty, but I can’t say the same for the block matching puzzles as they require way too much on luck with the difficulty ramping up far too much for the limited amount of moves. After 3 days of looking at the same block puzzle, I’ve uninstalled it. Which brings me to my main issue: boosts are fine, and I have payed for them on other mobile games plenty of times. The problem with this game is that the paid “boosts” don’t offer any additional object permanence; it only gives you one-time use extras. If I spend $9.99, I’d at least expect to get more exclusive avatars or more toys for the cat or a special part of the mansion to open or something that permanently shows your purchase was made. Other games that have you pay for time-reduction boosts also give you access to extra characters, avatars, glamours, conveniences, a ranking board, and a sometimes a “VIP” or “Premium” mode. Not with this game. The manor restoration is intriguing to see, but it isn’t intriguing enough to convince me to spend on it.

Fun to play.... This game is definitely not a little kids game. The short time limits can be more frustrating than fun. 1 minute time limits when you’re searching for objects based on just the silhouette are difficult. If the time limit is going to be 1 minute then the objects should be more noticeable in the scene. It’s almost impossible if you don’t have any tools to use. Also, so much time is wasted if you have to zoom in and then zoom out to see the next item on your list or if the item name is not a commonly know term. For those 1 minute challenges, I would like to suggest letting players study the scene for 10-15 seconds before the timer starts. Another suggestion I have for this game is to let players accumulate more than 50 energy and let the energy replenish at a faster rate. Difficult scenes means that you can only try 5 times and you’re pretty much done, unless you’re able/willing to pay for more time or energy. I like this game but running out of energy and having to wait so long to try again is making the game less fun each time I play it. Trying to find the objects is the best part of this game and it’s easy to lose track of time while playing. For future updates, please consider letting players replenish energy faster and accumulate more energy so they can have more continuous play. Thanks!

Almost Perfect. This game is my favorite and has been for quite some time now! My only REAL complaints (maybe this is just for native English speakers) are two things: 1. If one of the items I’m searching for is candy - for the love of god, please don’t put two types of candy in the picture! I often see a combo that includes either a box of chocolates, a candy cane, and/or a lollipop. I have to figure out which “candy” is the right choice, and it could be any one of the three. 2. Things like a) “cone” shouldn’t mean that it could be an ice cream cone OR a pine cone. I may be in the minority here, but I would never understand what was meant in real life if someone called either of those items just “cone” b) “lily” should just mean an actual lily (like it does on some levels), and not used for a fleur-de-lis. Just because (I think) the literal translation of fleur-de-lis is “flower of lily” doesn’t mean everyone knows what it translates to in English and also that you need to look for something that’s not the literal lily flower. *A side note: items like bow, money, and bat make sense, though. If I’m talking with someone about any of those things, I generally wouldn’t further specify in conversation that I meant gift bow, baseball/animal bat, or break down money into saying coins or bills.

Fun but. EDITED: This is definitely a fun game and a change up from the endless amount of match 3 games. My biggest complaint is that after day 2 the levels get notable more difficult to beat and this becomes frustrating. This game is worth playing, however I don't know if I will play it to its end due to the exponential difficulty of the levels. I’m not one to complain about this. I normal won’t bother write a review. However, this is a timed based game and as you progress the time allowed pre level greatly shortens while the items increase in number but decrease in size. I feel as if the developers are intentional making it difficult to pass the normal levels so to force their players to buy boosters. While I understand that it is apart of the developers need to generate money to continue their work. However, I didn’t download a free game to end up paying to continue to play. I believe I’ve made it to day 4 in this game and there’s three level difficulties: normal, hard and super hard levels. I find it difficult to pass most of the levels at this stage. It’s a clever game format. It requires a lot of improvements for me to think it’s worth more than 3 stars. I will probably delete it sooner rather than later.

If I wanted to match I'd play Homescapes. EDIT: Reducing my review to ONE star because of Playrix’s infuriating response. Developers who don’t listen to audience always lose. Telling me to “give it a try”… as if I haven’t already been frustrated playing the game that they ruined for me and many other players. Playrix, you should LISTEN to your audience rather than doubling down. I’m not the only frustrated player who has left a review and stopped playing the game due to being inundated with match-3 levels when we downloaded this game for something different entirely. Like I said before, Playrix are SELL OUTS. Glad to give my support to developers Wooga and their game June’s Journey instead, especially after the response Playrix has given me. I miss when this game was all about finding things in different scenes. I like that this game is different than Homescapes and Gardenscapes, but I guess it isn't anymore. Most of the levels I have to play are ones where I have to match the items and clear the board, which I can't stand. Currently stuck on a level when really I'd rather be searching for and finding items. Don't even get me started on the dumb minigames they added just to ensure that the bogus and misleading ads they run to get new people to download their game aren't *so* misleading. Sell outs.

First it was the time constraints now it’s the match three. Originally I complained that in the hidden object seemed the time constraints were to limiting and forced you to use your hints in order to comply with the ridiculous time constraints. It would be much more fun to play if there were no time constraints or something better than two minutes. They seem to have made the scenes easier because I don’t have that problem anymore and I’m really well into the game. Maybe level 800. Now I am complaining about the introduction of the match three. It is quickly becoming the dominant part of the game. At first it was fun but now it is ridiculous. One scene I just played gave you six or 8 moves to cover 64 squares with grass with certain items locked behind chains and boxes. It took me 20 moves. Other scenes give you 14 moves when other games would at least give you 24 or even 30. I guess I will start using my life lines but I’m not sure if you lose your streak which gives you the aids that allow you to pass them to begin with. Someone was right when they said this game is a money maker in disguise. The match three needs help. I am going to delete this game if something is not fixed which is really sad because I wanted to play it until the end. I don’t mind spending money a little bit but not $20,000 per game (game currency) on match three.

Watch your in-app purchases. … not gonna lie the game is fun and pretty easy 2 get stuck on! You get free bonus tools daily and every so often can play a mini game to earn coins ..but.. Eventually you’ll reach a level that seems impossible to beat! If your anything like me you might occasionally consider purchasing a couple of cheap packages whether for tools or coins to help advance you. Be Careful and watch the purchase history for the debit card used! I recently bought 2 99cent packs and 1 $1.99 pack but was charged for the $1.99 and 5 99cent packs bringing the cost from what should have been $3.99 to somewhere around $7.00! Sure it’s not a significant amount of money but if it happens enough you notice and begin questioning yourself! Lucky 4 me I realized something wasn’t adding up my during a previous purchase so i paid close attention this time around ..but.. the last time or times I didn’t and It’s crazy what you have yo go thru to report/fix the issue’s w/ robots etc. so I’ll just be chalkin it up as a loss! I wanna warn others to pay close attention 2 your purchases tho so you can hopefully avoid similar situations in the future!

No longer a look and find game. I could not find a feedback option in the app so I’ll have to give my feedback via review. I have played this game daily for a couple of years now and loved it! Updates always brought a few changes that require getting used to but nothing major. Since the last update, I have been nothing but frustrated by this game. The majority of levels are now match 3 type puzzles. I do not like these type puzzles. If I wanted those I would play another game. I play Manor Matters for look and find puzzles. I’ve played the new update for a few weeks to try to give it a chance. However, I often spend days trying to beat one puzzle I can’t get passed just to get the chance for a look and find which only comes after 3 or 4 of the other kind. Furthermore, after almost 6000 levels I’ve reached lots of new scenes and a difficulty level that is just gone now. When I do get a look and find it’s back to scenes I haven’t had for months and they are so easy it isn’t any fun. I’m very disappointed because a game I was addicted to not long ago I can no longer play. Please bring the old game back and keep the updates focused on the type of game we want to play.

L. Sometimes I don’t chess as like this but I really thought it was gonna be like you solve stuff like when people is cold and I need like money and stuff. It’s like fix the house and stuff but it really was him now I just spent all my money just wasting my time on this kind of stuff but it’s kind of worth it I mean I don’t like this game cause it’s stupid and but now I know not to church with the Internet says because this was not what I thought it would be so I hate this game and you should stop doing that. Tell them people to be sending them ads out like don’t do that and then if they really want to tell the truth, when we done it, they have to say I meant it but they have to like say I’m not lying. This is the actual fully game and even with the match I got real match it has ads and then I can’t even play it with an out any Wi-Fi like they say that you can play with without any Wi-Fi that’s just a lie that is lying like people really have to spend what you have to wait you racing their time saying like oh my God this this this this game this game that XYZ like stop playing

Not enough Energy. I really love this game so much. I love that you solve mysteries, as well as renovate the mansion. And the levels are very reasonable in the amount of hardness. (Btw I know hardness isn’t a real word lol) The only thing I would change about this game is that it’s very annoying when you’re all out of energy because I love this game and wanna play it but I always have to wait for another half hour until I can play again, even when I win all the levels! I think a better thing to do would is if you win the level first try then you get your energy back. If you don’t win it then you don’t get it back. I think that is fair and would make the game a whole lot better. Another thing, which I find inappropriate, is that in the levels you have to find cocktails and alcohol! Kids are playing these levels and there should be none of that! There is even a sene called the wine cellar. It’s very inappropriate and I do not like finding items in that scene because they consist of wine glass, wine press, cocktails, beer, and mortar and pestle. I hope you will change this and I hope you will put it into consideration! Thank you for creating this awesome game!!😀

Beautiful game. I can’t rave enough about this game. I usually run far away from these kind of games similar due to them all being “match the blocks” kind of games. This game is one of the only that does it different with the “I spy” gameplay. NO MATCHING BLOCKS OF ANY KIND! Thank gosh!! This is exactly my kind of game. & can we talk about how beautiful the animations are? The story is interesting and the player engagement the characters have with you is refreshing. They talk to you & you can watch the characters walk around doing their own thing around the house for hours. I love how you can pick your own style when decorating. I haven’t spent one dime on the game and I’m on level 470. They give you great daily rewards and bonus items to help you get through the levels. Some levels are challenging I will admit I’ve got frustrated a few times but it’s not impossible to beat without spending money. You just have to work the hard levels a few times before beating it, a lot of levels test your memory on where the items are. Sometimes I’ll take a break for a few days and I’ll come back and they will welcome me back with rewards. I LOVE THIS GAME. It’s my favorite way to wind down for the day.

Starts out fun. As expected it starts relatively easy. As you progress it gets harder. That’s not an issue except that it’s gets hard enough that it’s not fun anymore. The objects Change locations each time you have to restart a scene. The objects have a different look, each time you restart a scene. The time to clear the scenes isn’t enough. Sometimes it’s only 1 minute. The amount of stars it takes to decorate increases substantially as you go on. And it gets harder and harder to win them. It’s too hard to win clues to help find objects. I won an award of a full energy bar when my energy was still full, so it kept my energy at 60, instead of increasing it to 120. This game has loads of potential but it’s too much. I just want something entertaining and to relax with after work. I’m going to delete it because it’s too much effort, not fun any more. I have other search and find games I really enjoy. I had high hopes for this one but I don’t like how hard it has become. It’s a game developers and not my career. Make the game easier and relaxing and I’ll come back. UPDATE: stop giving people links to “tips” as responses to complaints and just improve the game! You’re hearing the same complaints over and over. I deleted the game. There millions of games out there. You need to really listen to complaints or you won’t survive

Used to be fun and relaxing. The levels are incredibly hard and can’t be beat without purchasing bonuses that rarely help. Many levels fail to count down the items found but adds many more to search list without giving adequate time to complete. The super hard levels take days and countless lives. It’s not fair to tap on an object to only have it not be selected. Most of the levels are almost impossible to beat and that’s with bonus items. It takes generally 15 or more lives to pass levels, and there is no easy levels anymore. Levels completed used to give energy that prolonged game play, now they don’t. So if I do beat a level I’ve spent DAYS on, I think the energy should be given back to allow another level attempt. I’ll be honest. I doubt any customer support will read this and I sincerely doubt they will ease up on level difficulties. I’m about ready to delete this game. I only started this game for the variety and relaxation. It’s no longer relaxing, and it frankly ticks me off. I’m not spending my hard earned money on a game. I know I’m not the only one to have problems. It’s in the reviews. Too bad I can’t turn back the clock to get back the time I’ve spent on this game.

Good game, but not very fair. I made sure to play this game for a while before I rated it, so as to give a completely fair rating. The game is entertaining, the story is interesting although not the best I’ve ever seen in a game, and the hidden object scenes are hard, but doable as long as you pay attention & don’t panic. HOWEVER, the scenes do have one flaw, and that is that sometimes, items are not named properly. For example, a netsuke is NOT A BUDDHA STATUE. I cannot stress this enough, in a hidden object game, items NEED to be properly named, or you don’t have a chance of getting through the scene in time. Either name things properly, or stop timing the scenes, not both. In this age of Google, there’s no excuse for misnaming something, none at all. Also, the payout ratio is completely unfair, let’s be honest, 10-18 coins per scene, but to refill your hints is as much as 3800 coins? That is a ridiculous rate, and an obvious giveaway that the game is in essence a cash grab, which you would think companies would understand by now does the exact opposite, makes me not want to spend a penny, ever. I pay for games that give me value for money, not ones that back you into a corner & try to mug you

Great game. I love this game!! This is probably in my top five favorite mobile games I’ve ever had. It’s so addicting and satisfying to play. The only minor issues I have are the same ones other people have mentioned. Some of the levels are just ridiculously hard. When you already compromise a scene with smoke for example, and then also reduce the search time, it makes it nearly impossible to do in one go… without some sort of booster, and even then still have to usually do it more than once. I know that’s what the boosters are for, but then you run out of them really fast. I understand they need to make money, and I’ve spent some in game to get passed some levels, mainly because I believe in supporting a game I really enjoy. Also something minor, I really enjoy the tasks that allow you to choose options, like the decor stuff. As you progress there are sooo many tasks that you don’t choose anything, and they take like 35 stars to do. That part is disappointing. Overall none of the issues are enough to keep me away though. I play it every day!

Used to be 5 stars. I loved this game when I first downloaded it. I used to play Homescapes but when my phone started having issues and I needed to get a new one, my game didn’t save (my fault I know) and I had to start over. Being that I was so far along, I didn’t want to restart so I downloaded this since concept was similar but the “finding scenes” versus the “matching 3 in a row” was much more interesting. The scenes and graphics were beautiful. Yes, it could be challenging especially with features such as the clouds or the silhouette modes, but either way it would still draw me in. Since the new update released about a week ago, the “finding scenes” appear one out of every 5 or 6 turns..which now have been substituted with the dreaded “matching 3” or more in a row. When the “finding” scenes do come up, they are beyond easy and if you’ve been playing this game long enough …you know exactly where to look to find the objects and it’s just not fun anymore. It’s now become like a candy crush wannabe which lost the appeal. Not to mention when you do get a “finding”’scene instead of the “matching” game, they are the same 3 or so scenes over and over. The whole allure was being able to unlock new scenes and find new and different objects. Too bad. This game used to be a 5..not sure why the switch over happened, but it would be nice if it could go back to more of the original game.

Used to be fun but not anymore (spoiler alert). I really enjoyed the game when I could relax and play it casually. I enjoyed the story line and looked forward to seeing where it would go next. I didn’t even mind that I had to wait for energy to recharge to continue. It made it a treat to look forward to the next session. BUT ***spoiler alert*** after the storyline eventually reveals what has become of Mr. Burke, the following storylines become stupid. (You keep running into illogical scenarios that could easily be resolved just by contacting him and asking for help! We know where he is! Grrr!) Convoluted storyline aside, as you continue playing, it is the mechanics of the game that change it from a challenging, fun object search puzzle game to extremely infuriating, “I want to throw my device across the room and never play it again” situation. Believe me, I have given it many chances. I have paid real money to buy the special passes during events and for coins to buy more tools. But it just isn’t fun anymore. I am tired of repeating the same level 20 times or more. And the latest event, “Winter Dreams” lost it’s appeal by level 4. Sorry Santa. Someone else will have to save you. I think I am officially done with this one. I’m willing to sacrifice the over 23,000 coins I have still to use. Congratulate your developers for taking a great concept and turning it into a impossible waste of my time.

Amazing Game, recent update?. To begin with, I want to say that I absolutely love this game. It goes back to the roots of Playrix with the idea of doing a search and find game rather than something like Candy Crush. I really appreciate that because I loved the search and find games but not the Candy Crush like ones. The game is challenging, but for the most part it is extremely fun and I love clearing the scenes and building the rooms. However, a recent update came out the did something to the way you earn energy. In the past, you could play a level using 10 energy and then keep that energy if you completed it in the allotted time. Now it just eats up your energy and you have to wait until it has been refilled to play another level. This is extremely frustrating because I loved the feeling of being able to play through a few levels, but now if you get stuck on a level you have to wait for your energy to come back if you have to use all of it to complete the level. If this could be fixed, the game would be absolutely perfect once again. I totally recommend this game and I hope that this issue can be fixed!! Great job Playrix, keep it up!!

Was my daily play game until the match 3 change. This has been a daily play for me, the most played game in years for me … until you added match3. I have tried to give it time, adjust to the game but you’ve actually ruined a great game. The search scenes are extremely easy now and you rarely see them, maybe 5 match3 games to every one crappy search scene now. The search scenes kept my brain active and thinking, and relaxed … not anymore. I’ve spent so much time and a little money on the beautiful events and designing the house but the match3 has actually made it unplayable, not enjoyable. I’ve noticed that the only way to beat a lot of the match3 levels is by using coins (spending money). I love all the fun events and wish I could see the game through and continue playing but it’s not even the same game anymore. So sad too, you have so many upset players now. My favorite game has turned into one I have to quit. ADDED: Prices went up on everything, you want us to spend more and you even need more stars for things as well. I have been testing the match 3 games and many times I can play a level over 40 times and can’t beat it unless I spend money. Junk the match3 stuff and bring back the reason many of us play the game.

Love This Game, but wish they’d fix the chat box. Playrix has fixed every issue I’d have wanted, except for the super irritating chat box in the iPad app. I really was happy to see the teams added to the line up of improvements. That said, I really hope the chat box gets fixed. I’d give the game 5 stars if that happened. It’s very difficult to type in the chats. Characters, such as an exclamation are often not rejected, causing me to lose all the typing I’d just done. Also, I can only do one message per session. If I want to do more, I have to literally shut down the whole app, then recenter. Since I’m a team leader, this is really time consuming and irritating. I don’t have these issues with other Playrix games on my iPad. Another issue is if you take too long typing in your message…all the characters squish together when the space characters magically get removed. It would also be really great if we had the ability to edit our chats. I don’t have as much trouble with the Windows app on my computer, as I’ve had with the iPad chat, except that the Windows app tends to freeze up or slow down so much that the app has to be restarted. Hope that will get fixed too. Still, this is a great game, just like all the other Playrix superstars!

A Perfectly Disguised Money Maker. This well-made game is fun, entertaining, and exciting... at first, anyway. A classic search and find with a twist. Levels start off fairly easy and get uber hard super fast. Gotta admit, it’s the perfect money making ploy. Build a beautiful game, make it entertaining and fun at first so people stay; then quickly increase the difficulty so players are more likely to spend money on search aids and energy needed to keep trying. Sure, there’s a daily spin to get a single, free item here and there and you can get free energy IF your friends on Facebook also play it, but when puzzle after puzzle is uber difficult, it doesn’t amount to much. Considering the sheer vastness of the mansion and due to its size, the levels ideally would have progressed in difficulty much slower, but that doesn’t draw in too much need to spend money of items, now does it? I’m at a point now where I can use ALL of my energy on a single level and NOT beat it, and I’m really not that far, considering the size of the mansion. As it is, I have a strong inclination to simply delete this off my device and never look back. A likelihood in the near future. Shame though, because it’s well made. For that reason, and the classy feel it gives, I give a 3 stars. Would easily have been a 5 if not for the quick increase in difficulty.

Good Game but a notable issue with Levels.. The game is great. There’s always more to do and it’s not just a simple Candy Crush-Like game. There are no ads and the rare bonus games are interesting. But the Hard and Super Hard normal levels rather than the “find” levels are not hard in difficulty for the same reason as other hard games. Rather than just being a challenging mini game, the level seems like it’s relatively easy but gives you very little moves compared to what you’d normally need to complete said level. So rather than feeling like any progress or learning curve is needed it ends up feeling like a level you can only win by chance. This frustrating since at times you can lose simply because you did not get any special items and these levels are impossible without them. The Find levels have a different issue all together however. The lack of definitions of context. It’s very common to lose a find level simply because you don’t know what a word means or a word is referring to something it normally would not. I feel there should be the choice to click the word and see a definition or the word used in a sentence. The time should pause for the latter but not the former. There is also the move suggestions. They are extremely annoying for people especially those with Misokinesia. I wish there was a setting to turn them off especially since they happen within 2 seconds of not moving so they are extremely constant.

Hoping It Will Change Back. Like every other recent reviewer, I am giving a low review because of the change in gameplay. I have played this game for a few years and have played it A LOT (I’m almost on level 9,000). The thing I loved the most about the game was the hidden object scenes, which were varied and beautifully designed. Something I hope to convey to the developers with this review is that I believe they are missing out on a significant amount of money from people they have upset by changing the game to a match 3 style. I used to spend money on this game frequently because every level felt winnable, and the extras received from spending money made the game even more fun. Ever since the update, the game has become so incredibly frustrating that it’s no longer a fun way to pass time. Even with using every power-up available, some of the match 3 levels are not winnable. You have to play the same level over and over again (or spend real money to get coins to extend levels). I believe fewer people are willing to spend money on what essentially has become a pay to play game. I have personally uninstalled the game and will no longer be spending money on it. I will keep my account in hopes that the gameplay will return to the way it was before.

The best puzzle game?. As it stands I would have to say this is by far the best puzzle game I have encountered since the beginning of the App Store being available. The age bracket of 4+ should be lifted beyond that age group because some of the items I'll admit, are blended in to the image way to discretely and are very small to see. Probably slightly too small. And the only other downside, which is why I didn't rate this 5 stars is because the coins you have to collect for Carl to complete one scenario are a bit much, considering in the adventures of Austin, his efforts only need a small handful of no more than sometimes 4-5. Apart from that, great efforts and thank you.

Loved this game but no longer. I was a huge fan of this game up until recently when the latest update turned it into just another basic match-3 game. WHY have you gone and ruined everything? The original game stood out from all these dime-a-dozen match 3 games, which is why I loved it in the first place. Each level was challenging and kept me coming back for more. The absolute worst part is that all the power ups I have are now useless in most of the levels, because the hidden object levels are so few and far in between, and have become so simple. Long time players like me have to start from scratch again and I am no longer interested. Manor matters was the one game that I would spend money on, but no longer. I’m not sure what triggered the move to make the game like this but whatever is it, please turn it back. This is SO disappointing.

Yeah..... So my old review was negative, but I’ve been playing it since then and it has grown on me. Yes the initial difficulty is a bit much and some of the harder levels could use some toning down, but you can memorise a lot of locations things can spawn in and grind away at the more difficult ones. So in summary, good game, takes some getting used to, they need to make some things more generous and give you an extra 20 seconds on the timer or so. But if they did that it would be 5 stars from me

Love This Game!. I really hate all the Match-3 type games that get more and more difficult to beat without having to spend money but I’ve always loved hidden object games. I’ve read all the reviews here, so for those who get overly stressed by the timer, there’s a simple way around that. Just take a screenshot of the scene and then pause the game. As for limited content, I’ve been playing several games where I constantly have to wait for new content to be released. Is there any reason you can’t keep playing scenes and collecting stars while waiting for new areas to open up? I hope some people will find these suggestions helpful to make the game more enjoyable until the developers come up with other solutions.

Not enjoyable anymore. I love playing this game however with this new format with the match 3 it is not enjoyable anymore. Have spent days trying to get through one level even after looking at the tips still did not work. The level needs to get apples and flowers in about 20 moves while taking two attempts to destroy the cookies. I will give it another couple of days and the delete the program. I like games that are enjoyable and you feel like you have achieved something

I really enjoy this mystery game. A great game! It’s fun, enjoyable and the story is endearing. At first I found the puzzles too easy but as you go on, they get quite tricky! It’s a relaxing break for whenever you need one. There’s a resemblance between Carl (from Manor Matters)and Austin (from Homescapes and Gardenscapes). They are both a cheerful companion whilst you are playing the game. This really sharpens your mind and is such a great boredom buster! Thank you Playrix and please keep making games like this!

Timing. Great graphics. Concept is brilliant. I would prefer more time on each puzzle. Some images are to small and blurred behind other objects thus not being clear just what it is. This requires more time. Alternate images for same word. Again would suggest more time. I really like the game but finding I will delete it as I loose more times then I win. I play a lot of games with such concept. I like how the game is difficult but I would like more time as I am having like 4 or so unfounded objects at the end of each puzzle.

Hate the Match Three Update. I, like many other people using this app, absolutely DESPISE the new update you have added, which is having match three levels in the game. This used to be one of my favourite games but now it literally one the worst games I have. It just makes the game seem like an unoriginal copy of all the other match three games out there. I would literally be deleting the app if I wasn’t on level 700. I can’t even think of a reason why you would add match three levels to the game when it was literally perfect before. Stop being so infuriatingly stubborn, dumb and annoying and actually READ the reviews that have been written about Manor Matters, and fix what they are saying. I have looked through many of these reviews and not one of them has been five stars, and many have stated that they hate the match three update too. It honestly just make me so angry.

Love it, BUT...... I absolutely love this style of game, BUT I hate that each game uses 10 energy and you only get 50 full energy, by the time you have 5 games you have no energy left unless you pass the level and to buy more energy you have to use coins but you don’t get enough coins to save to buy energy.... Please update this and give us more energy or at least lower the cost of stars to do the jobs so we can enjoy the game longer then 5mins of play! I refuse to buy in app purchases too, I believe I shouldn’t have to buy the safe filled with coins I earned but strangely don’t receive thats just wrong.

Please bring back hidden items games!!!. I have played this games for quite awhile and was super addicted to it, I even invest real money into it when i cant pass the level to buy some more time! I was on it everyday because I love hidden items games. However with recent upgrades I found it became a candy crush style which i hate this kind of 3 matches game styles, I tried to play but I only get like 1 hidden items game after play like 10 matches games, and is really boring, please bring back the hidden items games, this is the only reason why I decided to download this game in the first place! Now Im really considering to delete this game and find another hidden items game.

Too many forced challenges. There are too many “Winners League” challenges in the last few updates, and they go for too long. Just when I start getting somewhere in the game/story and I’m enjoying the story line, I get pushed into a winners league. There is no option to opt out, so you must participate or sit out for 3-6 days. Unfortunately once over, a second one is activated nearly immediately. Please let me opt out or make them less frequent, as I’d like the chance to progress and follow the story line. The new 60 energy after the latest update is also a step backwards! I love this game, but getting increasingly frustrated!!

updates done make me sad. This game started with retaining your energy level as long as you finish the level within time allotted. Then Playrix updated energy to be depleting but gave you 80 to start with. Another update came and it reduced starting energy level to 60 but gave you leagues that give you free minutes of play when you reach the goals. Now, with the latest update, Playrix has removed the free minutes rewards and replaced it with very minimal free energy and made it a little bit harder to reach goals. I guess this is Playrix’s way of making consumers buy energy to be able to play longer.

Bad update. OMG, I have been playing this game for over two years and this is the worst update, why do we have the match games, this is not what this game is about, you need to reverse this update immediately as this has not made the game any better but worse. The games have become to easy as well not challenging any more. I have played over 16,000 levels so I know what I'm talking about. There are other games by this developer that have the match games, play those if you like those type of games. Don’t make me regret continuing to play this game.

Fun game and greedy company. Right. I understand that the company and developers need to make profits. And i am more than happy to pay for it. I have purchased some items for the purpose of supporting the company and developers… the i realised that it is getting ridiculous to even complete each round when items are hidden under cloud purposely. Especially when it comes to the last 10secs, most of areas are hidden under clouds and I literally cannot see anything. This has been happening so frequently and I now feel that the game is nor fair for users to play.. the longer you have played this game, you need to pay more and struggle to complete each round with their cheeky ways to hide items. Furthermore, some items don’t even look like the ones… i am done. Bye.

What have you done Playrix!. You’ve missed out on 5 stars..this was my fave game and a great relaxing look and find time out for the day UNTIL I hit the 1500 levels and it bounces back to silly match 3 games amidst very easy seek and find challenges..sad face. I’m on the hunt for a similar game now because of this..I just want to find stuff not play these annoying matchy matchy games like in Homescapes etc. Can you do something about this or have you given up improving the game after these higher levels?

So sad - No longer a great game. I played from the beginning on and loved it. There were only hidden object games and every now and then you archived a new exciting room to discover. There were also fun adventures in between and I have to admit that I’ve spent a fair amount of money to get boosters when I was stuck. I just loved the game! With the new update you play 3-4 boring, graphically unpleasant match3 games, before you then get an old scene of hidden objects. It’s not just only the same old 5 hidden object scenes, they are also super simple. It’s just boring and sad and I struggle to understand the reason in changing a successful and popular game into a completely different game. So many people have complained here and on their Facebook page but they just get the same automated answer. How sad that the developers of this game don’t listen to the users. I have deleted the app now, it’s not worth the storage it takes. If I could give 0 stars, I would!

Game becoming increasingly frustrating. I used to find this game enjoyable but now I’m growing more and more frustrated. When I first started playing, the energy started at 80. It’s now been reduced to 60. The scenes are harder than they used to be, where I’ve had to expend all my energy at least 3 times just to complete 1 scene. The coins you make in comparison to the cost of tools/energy is disproportionate. Even the rewards on event prizes or achieving tasks is lower than it used to be. I’m not asking the developers to make it so easy to complete levels or earn coins, but it’s frustrating when the reward comes nowhere near what effort you have to put in.

Scared off. I downloaded this game but before I could start playing I had to approve their terms of use/privacy policy. First time this has happened with any app. I went on to their website to read the terms and right away it warns that their app & even their website is deemed “as is” implying that their are a lot of issues with both. It goes on to say that the company is not responsible if your device stops working, loses data, etc. Sounds like the site & the app are riddled with viruses & problems. I had to delete right away to attempt to avoid any issues. A sure fire way to scare people off from using any of your products.

Best game ever!. I absolutely love this game! Personally, I think it’s much more interesting than the usual ‘match three’ which most renovation games have. The levels also don’t get super hard really quickly and I love how there are different scenes. I also really enjoy the story line of unlocking the secrets of the house and solving mr Burke’s mysteries. Overall, I encourage everyone who reads this to get this game ASAP! thx for reading my review 😄🤣🥰

What have you done?!. I love this game, I’m completely addicted. But what have you done with the latest update? Why have you added match 3 type levels?! I play this game because there are no match 3 levels!! Most of the boosters you can now buy or win are all power ups for the match 3 games. Even the daily wheel prizes are boosters. PLUS you seem to have reverted back to all the easy original levels! Where are the new levels? I’m almost at level 7000 and I feel like I’ve started the game from the beginning again. This game has suddenly gone from my favourite game, to the worst. Get rid of the match 3, and put the new levels back in PLEASE!! The only good thing about this update is the new energy system, that’s great, but the rest is ridiculous. I have no idea why you would do any of this?! You’ve broken my heart. You don’t seem to be listening to the HUNDREDS of other players who are complaining either! This is no longer a hidden object game, it’s another BORING match-3. You’ve completely ruined it.

Used to be better. Loved this game before the last update. I’m well over level 500 but since the last update it’s become way too easy. 9/10 times I can find all the objects with still a minute to spare. I’m also not enjoying the new match 3 levels. If I wanted to play a match 3 came I’d play one of your other games… which I already do. I’m on the verge of throwing in the towel with this one. I loved finding objects, particularly when they were well hidden or camouflage but now it’s lost it’s appeal.

Love it!. Such a fun way to improve my observation skills, thank you! I mean sometimes, it’s like right there and I totally miss it. Slap the forehead moments for sure! 🤣 That garden house scene kills me! Sooo much green my brain shuts down 😂. Freaking love this game though! This mansion and the characters are the freaking bomb. I’m totally sure Carl’s Best friend Mr Burk left, so his buddy can make friends and find love. Trashed the place before he left so Carl would meet Amelia. Honestly! But then I’m an author and my brain is like super intrigued with the story. I get so bummed when I’m stuck both with my work and this game cause then I’m like...”NOOOOO!!! Neither story is moving forward and both are my own doing!” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for making manner matters and putting so much effort into it. Loving the upgrades the further into the game I get. Areas of improvement: In the guest area for our new adventure friend coming to visit, it would have been great not to have spent 25 stars clean a ridiculously small room and over 100 just to get the stairs done. Frick ya killing me! 🤣 But it teaches me patients so thanks. 😂

Little glitch. Great game!!! Probs the best hidden object game! Only problem Is that I played a new feature which is a super hard level where you have to find the silhouette in the blue mist and I pass the level but I don’t progress to other levels, I still get the 10 stars but it’s just repeating the level over and over.. I still give 5 stars because I know that you guys will fix it and it’s such a fun game Thanks

The best thing. I play homescapes, Gardenscapes and fishdom but sometimes I want to win stars in a different way like this clicking on things testing me and my brain and boy do I have fun. Even after 50 consecutive days of playing I still want more I wanna play forever I just can’t stop playing and wanting more levels that is why this is the best game ever. 🥳🤩😆😍🥰😗😙😘 :D

The words are too and objects to find are too complicated. Okay so I understand that the audience is very wide but some of the things that are needed to find are disadvantages to younger people and people in different parts of the world. For example a Sitar?? Looks like a guitar I was rusticity for three goes and ended up tying to google. As a 16yr old, I understand that I am just don’t understand olden day stuff well, however for younger audiences they may be confused. Otherwise I love how the power increases so quickly, how cheap hints are and the variety of tutorials are great. It is very good, however it would be better if there was a key to objects somewhere, Thankyou.

A Definite Pay to Play Game. I initially enjoyed playing this game but have become increasingly frustrated at the level of difficulty in finding items. Objects are almost impossible to locate without purchasing more and more tools. They can be microscopic, mere outlines, hidden by fog or in complete shadow. The time allocated is very brief. Levels described as “very difficult” are every third or fourth level. I played often at first but am now sick to death of being unable to progress in the story without paying extensively for the privilege.

Loved the game but now hate it. When it was just a hidden item game, it was great. The levels were great, often quite difficult because I have played through so much of it. I was playing most days and had been for a long time, which is unusual because I usually get sick of mobile games after a bit. It’s really well made, you don’t have to worry about ads and the story is interesting enough, but since a recent update most of it is just lame candy crush style puzzles. It was a really stimulating game, I felt accomplished when I beat a hard level. Now you only get a handful of the hidden item levels and they’re not even difficult. Maybe they’ve decided to target 10 year olds instead, but I really wish they would change it back to how it was, or at least make it so that you can switch games modes in settings or something. I would have given 5 stars before the recent big update to the game.

Latest update. I absolutely love this game. The hidden object levels made it different from all the others….however I am so disappointed in the latest update. Match three levels have appeared and it only cycles through three hidden object scenes. Why did you do this?? I loved the challenges of finding the hidden objects in different scenes that opened up new scenes the more you progressed. Now it’s just not fun anymore. I loved this game because it wasn’t a match three game….and it’s become one. Please change it back!!

What’s going on with the game?. Just played the upgraded game and found every level was super easy, even the hardest level became easier than before…there’s nothing challenging about this game anymore, so sad…I know somebody said the game was impossible and things like that, I admit some levels did take a few times of attempt to pass, but that’s the fun of this game isn’t it? Now there’s no difficulty at all…just wondering to what level will such situation continue? I’m at the 2002 level right now and just don’t wanna go on playing like this…

Frustrating time limits. I have been enjoying this game for some time and enjoy the scenes and challenge in visually searching for things but find some of the levels very frustrating. As a near 60 year old I’m thinking there should be age groupings for players, with varying time limits allowed (I’m not slow for my age but certainly now not as quick as someone in their 20’s or so). I’m getting totally frustrated with the current level I’m on with it seemingly impossible to find even 3/4 of the items in the time allowed. I’m ready to delete the app as it is starting to feel like I’m wasting my time on something that is creating more frustration than enjoyment.

You NEVER should’ve changed. I used to play this game everyday and I even got 6-7 of my friends playing too, but then you just randomly went and changed it and put it the match 3 crap… aaaarrrrgggghhhhh the reason i was looking for something different was because a-lot of people are so over the match 3 thing. You had a great game and you ruined it, so i deleted and so did my mates and found out recently alot of people just went… Nah….. to easy and pffft its a match 3 now.. You should've stayed with your original… why did you try to fix something that wasnt broken…. So very dissappointed !!!!

Great game but with one search scene sound effects annoying. Hi developers, First of all I’d like to say I love this new gameplay style! Very similar to homescapes, however still packs its own originality :) Just wanted to share some feedback, specifically about the clockwork scene while looking for objects. Can you please mute the annoying trumpet and drums that play every few seconds by the figurines? I enjoy the relaxing music while I search, but this makes searching very annoying and frustrating and have to turn the sound off :( then searching for objects in dead silence is not so great either :/ Just let the figurines twist and turn like the 3rd figurine (when I can search peacefully for a couple of seconds). Thank you :)

Great game. Love this game. Although I have gotten very far in this game, but today I logged in and all my efforts have been wiped and am forced to start from the beginning. Not even signing in through fb has changed anything. I feel as if months and months of playing this game has been a complete waste. Is there any way to restore what I have lost ? Please let me know, I am not starting all over again

Should be great but I’m quitting. Love the scenario and Winter event, but I’m quitting BEFORE I get resentful at how much money I spent on coins to be able to keep playing. Agree completely with the other players complaining about the reliance on match 3 games which are impossible to win without boosters from what I can tell. Boosters which need to be constantly bought, plus many benefits are time limited despite the difficulty in getting them. Looking for something similar which is fairer to the players. I would NEVER unleash a child on this game, imagine the tears when you had to draw the line and say enough is enough…

Updates are removing why I love this game. I started this game because I love hidden object games and the interactive story, twists and turns kept me interested. Then gem matching was added. I HATE GEM matching and then it gets to a point where they cannot be solved without purchasing bonuses. I stuck with it because it meant I could still play a few hidden games and build onto my manor. Then today lives are introduced in the latest update which means I’m now stuck if I can’t solve it in five goes. I’m not on Facebook so no chance to extend moves there. Well I think this is where I’ll leave Manor Matters and the lovely house I’m renovating. This game is no longer relaxing and something I enjoy.

Rip off!!!!. This game is a rip off!!! I have been playing this game for almost a year and when I first started, the energy was 80 & you didn’t lose any. When that changed to 60, Playrix advertised this as “risen to 60”, in the hopes that no one would notice that the energy levels were actually decreased NOT increased. Not only this, almost a year later, once you get into the game a lot more, it is a lot more challenging to get the jackpot on the daily spin, when it used to be relatively easy. I have ridiculously spent quite a bit of money on this game, over time and it’s becoming more of a rip off, regarding levels becoming way too challenging and no big prizes being offered on the wheel. Whenever the wheel gets close to the jackpot, the wheel speeds up & of course the jackpot, or other good prizes are missed entirely. Hence, this game being a rip off & money grabber. Even though I am deep into the story, I am deleting it due to the aforementioned reasons.

Manor Matters. I really loved this game and would have given it five stars, but you brought in the match three games. I play enough of those in the other Playrix games. I installed this game because it was a ‘find the object’ game. So I am annoyed and sad. Very, not happy.☹️😖😫. Get your programmers to check out the game ‘Sherlock’. That game gives the player the choice of either ‘match 3’ or ‘investigate the crime scene’. Perhaps your programmers could do the same thing, that way you keep everyone happy. Regards, Rose

Updated review: Get rid of the Match 3, I HATE this upgrade. To the developers, are you ever going to answer people and change the game back, I’m noting deleting yet, I’m waiting on a reply. In the mean time I will try and find other hidden objects game to play. This used to be my go to game to relax, now I can’t stand it. Listen to your users and change it back. Original feedback: I did enjoy playing this game before the update. I stopped playing Candy Crush as I was sick of the Match 3 games, please take them out of this game. I do like some of the changes like the Energy is given back if you get the level out and I am glad for some easier levels as I’m over level 3800 and some of them I was finding very hard. Please remove the Match 3 and I’ll give you a 5 Star rating again.

Item Specifications. I quite like this game so far. I like how much I can change on the decorations and I like the different game modes. I just have a issue with some of the items we have to look for. For example: one round had me looking for a “cone”. Now that can be an ice cream cone, a traffic cone or a pine cone. The item I ended up needing was a pine cone, while I was looking for a traffic cone. Another example is, “socket”. That can be a wall socket or a socket that goes on a socket wrench. I was looking for a socket because there was no added description, I ended up needed a wall socket. Please add the type of item you want us to find. I think it would improve the game and hinder frustration that might result in people choosing to not play the game. Thanks 😊

Latest update makes game impossible. This was a very fun game for a long time. Great graphics, interesting variant on gameplay, interesting characters and storyline. The time limit on the scenes was sometimes challenging but eventually you could work through it. The latest update has introduced “difficult” levels where your view of the hidden object scene is obstructed and your time to complete is reduced. This makes the level impossible to complete without purchasing some kind of booster. And when I say impossible I mean that I spent a week on one level repeatedly trying every trick I knew to complete it. I have now deleted the game out of frustration because I have better things to do than torture myself with a game that obviously didn’t try user testing before pushing through their latest update.

Love this game. Great fun bit hard to complete scenes because you need to get so many stars to get ahead. Unfortunately as the hidden object games become so difficult, l find l am stuck playing the same game for days unless l invest money to buy an out. At present l have been playing the same hidden object game for days.....to many objects to find and limited time to do it it. Come on really do you want to keep me playing or disengage my interest as it becomes impossible to get those many stars required to complete scenes.

Disappointed, great game gone downhill 😢. This has been a great game, but the last few updates have removed a lot of great features. Each round you play, you no longer win a lightning bolt to bolster your game play. You have reduced the lightning bolts from 80 to 50, but still costs 10 lightning bolts to play a round. The find 13 differences is down from 2 minutes to a minute. Items/tasks cost a lot more stars than you can earn in a few rounds. I understand game developers need us to spend our actual real money to make themselves money, but removing so many of the games features in such a short time frame (between March and May) has been very disappointing and I find myself playing it less often now.

Rating. Manor matters used to be a really fun game where you would have 60 lives and you would have to find different objects in different scenes but now it has turned into more of a candy crush sort of game which only have 5 hearts and there are more of these candy crush sort of scenes then the old ones that was the original game however they already have a game out like this called Homescapes that have these candy crush like levels that u can complete. I definitely prefer the old manor matters and miss it heaps and I know some other people who can agree we just want the others scenes back.

Skip Button. Why oh why do the developers of hidden object games not have the skip button for those of us who know what we are doing. Nothing riles me more when they feel the need to show the first item and we have to click on it but worse having to use a hint button because you can’t move on till you do. I know how it works give me the option to skip the general obvious instructions. I also want to skip all the needless chat and get straight to finding the objects. So I will be deleting this game especially as I’ve now read there are only two rooms!!! This is mind numbingly boring. Now I can’t post this review without giving it at least one star. So I tick one star but I really give it a big fat zero. Pudef

Wrecked it. I used to love this game. After a break from it, I came back to discover that every other level is now a match 3. Not only that but you have to really go through some rounds to get past them. If I wanted to play match 3, I would have downloaded a match 3 game. The amount of time (and rounds) I have to spend to get to a scene level just isn't worth it. I'm just frustrated all the time because it's not what I turn the game on to play. I look forward to seeing what scene I get next, just to find I have to slave it out over a boring and painful match 3, then when I finally pass it, it gives me another one. It's a real pity, but I won't be playing anymore. Time to move on.

Great cost free game. I’ve been playing this game for years and have never had to invest financially to progress. I am a casual player. It becomes more challenging but rarely does it feel impossible to pass a challenge. It’s a great time waster with a fun story. My only gripe with the game is the energy function. Many other games don’t allow loss of energy until you fail to pass a challenge. This game you lose energy whether you pass or fail. And 60 (6 turns) doesn’t feel like a lot each round, especially when you’re on a fun winning streak! Developers, please change this! The game becomes 5* with that change in energy function :)

Almost impossible. I understand the point of these games are for the developer to make money from people buying in-app purchases. And that’s fair enough - they should make money. BUT they have pretty much make this game impossible. Even the easiest levels, once you advance a bit, can’t be done at all without using boosters. Plus, it seems ridiculous that you get rewarded with timed boosters, but because you have to use energy to play a game, even when you win (it’s not like losing a life), they’re basically wasted if you run out of energy - unless you spend more money. I also feel like the golden ticket things are also a scam - you need to win so many rounds to get the the golden ticket items, it’s hardly worth the money. I think they would get a lot more people playing if they balanced the difficulty level and rewards so it felt a bit fairer and not just like a money grab. Also latest upgrade seems to have made it even more difficult. Can’t even complete easy levels anymore without taking about 10 tries or using a tonne of boosters. Really need to balance this out more, it really is unfair and makes it hard to stay interested. I’ve now refused to spend anymore money on this game and at level 1300+ have just basically stopped playing because of it.

Disappointing change to game and developer doesn’t listen to players. The change to this hidden object game is very disappointing. Out of the blue they decide to throw in match 3 games and ruin this game for thousands of players. So many complaints on FB and what do they do? They block the people who complain from posting! Yes, they should make money and I have made in-app purchases in the past, but I refuse to now when it is so obvious the changes were to force people to purchase tools to be able to beat the stupid match 3 games to get to the hidden object games. Disgraceful and disappointing.

Updates. I am really disappointed after updating and now you have levels that are similar to Homescapes & Gardenscapes, which are really hard to get through. I really enjoyed this game when you had to find things in different settings, now you hardly get to do that. I’m almost at the point of deleting the app. Does this continue or does it go back to the different settings where you find things to progress?

Please read. I would have given this game a five star if you didn’t add the matching levels. I know there are people out there who like a challenge, like me. But ever since you added the matching levels it’s been really annoying. This is the first game that I’ve seen made by Playrix that has a finding versing of a game. I don’t know what you can do about it, and I’m not expecting you to do anything because it would be to hard which is okay. I’m just letting my voice be heard. ✌️

Match-3 addition sucks!!. The more I play this game with the new update, the more I dislike it. I miss when it was just a hidden object game. The match-3 addition is awful, way too many levels are that and not the hidden object. When a level is a hidden object, it is way too easy. After getting up past level 4500 it is disappointing to have the game change in such a negative way. The only good thing is that I don’t spend any more money buying coins and power ups (which I was doing way too much of) as I hardly play at all anymore 😔

Playing. I think if you win a level you should keep the 10 that you had to use

Pretty good. I like the game, as a whole, but even with unlimited time, some of the hidden items would never be found! Some of the levels should have increased time, especially the doubles, anagrams and silhouettes. The coin rewards are a little low, in my opinion. Other than that, graphics are good and it’s a cute story line.

Don’t like the puzzle games added.. I loved this game when it was finding hidden objects or spotting the difference between two pictures. If it stayed that way I’d give it a 5 star review. If I wanted the other games that has now been added between levels I would have chosen a game that has them as there are times of these games out there. Now all I can give it is two stars. If this keeps up I’ll be deleting this app. So frustrated with the change. Hopefully they switch back to just hidden objects.

I want to love this game but…. I want to love this game still but the new update where they’ve added the match-3 levels are just really annoying. I want my old hidden objects game back. The current hidden objects levels don’t range in difficulty anymore, are the same 4-5 backgrounds and lacks the frustrating but fun cloud/feather modes. I can get over the fact that they have decreased the energy count to 50, change the energy renewal time from 2mins to 3mins (I guess) and that ‘purchasing’ more energy is more expensive. I’ve played this game almost every day for I want to say about 2 years, for many hours per day, but now it’s just not fun for me anymore and I spend maybe 5 minutes playing every couple of days now…maybe. Bring back the old hidden objects game and scrap the match-3 levels.

Terrible Update. This was my absolute favourite game until the update. I have spent quite a bit of money on it won’t spend anymore

No longer a fan. I was enjoying the game but after the latest update I’ve been stuck on the same scene for days. I’m looking for a lot of things in the fog within only a minute and am getting exceedingly more frustrated. I’ve definitely now lost interest. I think it might be time to move on...

Disappointed in upper levels. I loved the challenge of finding objects, but now it’s turned into Candy Crush. This is not what I was looking to play! So frustrating to only get one search game with some much of the matching to complete. Get rid of the candy crush levels!

Ruined a good game. If I wanted to play a match three I would have downloaded one. The whole point of a hidden object game is to find objects, not play match three!

I want to like it but..... I really want to like this game as I play other Playrix games and enjoy them, but I’ve quickly become disappointed. I’m only on day 4 in the game and have had to use up all the tools and coins I had and I’m now totally stuck. It would be nice if there was a daily prize or be able to watch an add to earn tools or unlimited time.... The fun part of these games is being able to advance and unfold the story, but the difficulty level and high cost of stars makes it nearly impossible. Will likely let this game go in search of another...

Big efforts for not much... 20 stars are required so your caractere can scratch his as**, but you win 2 stars per level. Annoying

Latest update ruined game. After the last update the hidden objects game has gone back to the first three scenarios and stupidly easy (I enjoyed how difficult it could be)! Most of the game now is the same as Homescapes. Why ruin a good thing?

Loss of a Fun Experience to Constant Micro Transaction Push. This game started out great. Mysterious storyline. Exploring the mansion for clues to a greater reveal. Search puzzles that were fun to find where they might be hiding a clue. Now the game has descended into the monotony of Homescapes. Likely driven by a profit motive, they are slowly turning this game into Homescapes. The ridiculous season or theme challenges, idiot main character storylines, and stupid one dimensional characters are all making their way here. Not to mention the mindlessly boring color match games now in between puzzles. If you enjoy the most immature mindless experience possible, by all means download this game.

Hate the match 3. A couple match 3 here and there - fine. But this game has become just mainly match 3. Truly disappointing. An option to turn it off would be great. You have a handful of highly successful match 3 games - why would you ruin your good hidden object game like that? Just make a separate app again.

Please “undo” this update!!. I also cannot believe what happened to my favourite phone game!! This game was so unique with its hidden object scenes and I loved the challenges! I’ve tried other hidden object games and none have matched Major Matters!! However I am SO DISAPPOINTED with this update! I have ZERO interest in this game becoming a match 3 game! I have other apps for that which I hardly play! I also agree with other reviewers that the hidden object scenes have gotten way too easy! Please return this game to its former glory so that I can actually enjoy it again!!

Frustrated with new version. I loved this game so much before the latest upgrade! It was a great search and find game. Now they have added match 3 levels from Homescapes. If I wanted to play Homescapes match 3 levels, I would open my Homescapes app and play it. Please change it back to just search and find.

Seriously..?. Soooo that’s it? Y’all are just gonna not finish the game.... keep me waitin on a damn update for I don’t even know how long.... finally update the game.... and only put out a couple hours of gameplay AND THEN HAVE ME WAIT ANOTHER I DONT EVEN KNOW HOW LONG FOR ANOTHER UPDATE???? Come on now, why’s it taking so long :(

Just too hard. Game looks great, story is good, characters interesting... but some levels are just way too hard and doesn’t reflect the payout. If playing on an iPhone, images are too small to find, and depending on the scene, it can be quite dark. Want to love it but end up getting frustrated and quitting more often than not.

Was a really charming game before they ruined it with this patch.. I’ve been playing for almost two months now and have put in quite a few hours restoring the manor. I almost bought the season pass last patch and was going to buy the next one since I was really enjoying the game. Idk what they were thinking with this patch but they turned it into the most soulless piece of trash I’ve had the disservice of playing. The artwork and the challenge was what made it appealing in an over saturated market of bejeweled clones that make up mobile gaming. I genuinely cannot wrap my head around what would make the devs want to throw the charm that this game had going for it out the window to make every other level the ugliest bejeweled level. They also took away the option to purchase only ONE of the power ups at a time. I feel like my experience with the game has been ruined unfortunately and I’m considering uninstalling. I loved the ispy aspects to the game but I genuinely see no appeal in the bejeweled levels. The only reason I’m rating 3* is because the old levels are still available sparsely in between the new ones.

The advertisement for this game are terrible.. It’s amazing that the best a marketing department can come up with is an ad depicting a woman getting locked in a sarcophagus and suffocating?! Or a woman and her baby freezing to death in a hotel room?! How is that even a concept that gets discussed when creating the ad for this game?

Obviously you’re listening.. After downloading and playing the game for several weeks, I found myself reading the reviews. Obviously you’re listening as non of the negative reviews seem to be valid today. Levels progress in degrees of hardness, but isn’t that what the game is about......challenging you. Also there Are daily perks. Thanx for listening to the previous comments, as I’m enjoying the game immensely.

Why so easy??. I’ve lost interest… it’s become way too easy… and I liked this game because it didn’t have candy crush type levels. 😔

Update Disappointing. The value of this game was that it was unique - a search game with locations changing in each iteration. It was hard, and it took many tries to move up a level. But there was a sense of satisfaction. The addition of match-three levels has diminished the value of the game. It is easier to move forward, but the high degree of satisfaction has disappeared.

Changing the game. I used to like playing Manor matters, because of the gameplay, finding objects. Now, we have to match things and this is not why I chose this game. I find I need to spend more money because I get blocked. I will be deleting this app.

Game keeps cutting out. I am slowly warming up to this game although it is extremely difficult to find items and then you move them around, make them silhouettes, anagrams, etc. but allow no extra time in these instances. Also, the coin awards are paltry to say the least. My other frustration is that the game keeps cutting out. Why is that.

Terrible update. Used to be fantastic search for hidden objects game but new update has ruined it with matching blocks.

Glitch. For some reason this game keeps glitching out and freezing so you have to restart it every time

Depressing. I’m so tired of seeing the ads pop up for all of these games. Homeless children crying in a snow bank, some poor woman being kicked out her home with her new baby. Totally depressing! Give it up already!

Trop déçue de la mise à jour. Je suis vraiment très déçue de l’ajout des niveaux de « séries de 3 » depuis la dernière mise à jour du jeu. Vous étiez l’un des seuls qui ne les avait pas incorporé et c’était parfait comme ça. On veut jouer pour trouver des objets cachés; si on voulait jouer à des séries de 3, on jouerait à un des 1000 jeux qui ne proposent que ça comme candy crush ou bejeweled… :(

Hate the update, but was a good game. I have been playing this for a few years now. I first got into it from Gardenscapes & Homescapes. I loved that it was an item search game. I really liked how the items moved if you failed a level, so that you didn’t just pick a spot without looking. I liked how the list of items would change sometimes. Even the hard levels challenged me, but we’re doable. It might take me a few days, but I would get through. Sadly the latest update has dimmed my enjoyment. I had just unlocked a new level, then suddenly I’m back at the beginning levels, the difficulty is extremely low, and there are now more item match levels than item search. I feel like I got baited into another game. I played this consistently because it was not like the other games they produced & not a Candy Crush clone. I still play it, because I am over 6000+ levels in and I was dedicated. But now….I’m not enjoying it very much. It used to be part of my morning wake up routine to get me focused. Now I kinda only play it if I’m bored. Just….Get rid of the item match levels and go back to the original. If I wanted to play item match, I would play Gardenscapes & Homescapes. I still have those and play them when bored. Now Manor Matters is becoming those & I am bored. I didn’t mind the mini games, they were a cute side quest. But changing the entirety of the main game? Not good practices to run a company/service.

Stressfull. Timer is just making it annoying. And like other Playrix games, ads you saw aren’t what the games are.

They changed the game. It’s not even a hidden object game anymore. They changed it to a match game. Change it back. If I wanted to play gardenscapes I would

Bad update. Change the game back to what it was. I don’t want to play a match 3 game. It would be fine if it as majority hidden object with some match 3. But it is basically all match 3. Why change from what made the game different and appealing? I am very close to just stopping playing and deleting the app.

Was great now with update very disappointing. I really enjoyed the original search game. There were different levels where you found hidden objects. Now you’ve added a new type of level that is a matching game. If I wanted to play a candy crush like game I would be playing candy crush. Or one of your other developed games like home scapes. I hate the new update. All I wanted from this game was for it to stay as a find the hidden object game. Truly disappointing that there is no challenge and when the match levels come up I rush through them.

Are you listening. At one time you seemed to listen to the reviews and implemented changes to improve the game, but now I am wondering if you care what people want. If you have read any of the reviews regarding the latest update, you will see the majority want the challenge of a hidden object game without match 3. Instead any comments you make ignore that and say” oh look you get this now” as if that will satisfy anyone. You say you can’t/won’t change the game back and I want to know why. If you implemented this new match3 portion in you can also take it out. The game is no longer challenging or fun to play. You have dumbed it down! We want our game back as a hidden object game. What part of that is hard to understand?

Bring back the searching game!. Nearly every level is suddenly the match-3 type game. I downloaded this game for the searching part and that’s basically gone. I can’t see myself playing this for long unless that comes back. Poor update choice…. Bring back the old version with only searching levels!

This is for the ads. Your ads are completely unrelated to the actual game there is absolutely no plot in which the commercials say there is when the girl is cheated on and has a baby this is not in the game therefore you should definitely not be commercializing it

AVIS personnel. J’adore le jeu de chercher les objets dans les décors, mais depuis la mise à jour, je suis déçue du nouveau jeu du style Candy Crush qui a été ajouté parmi les niveaux. Je trouve que ça manque d’originalité et que ce mode n’a pas sa place dans ce jeu.

Why it become a Match-3 puzzles game?. Why?

WHY!. The game is fun but the items in the rooms keep changing and most of the time I can’t find the last item because it is literally impossible to even see unless you know where to look

No customer service or loyalty. A glitch on their end caused me to lose a bunch of bonus’ I purchased. They would only replace 4% of what I lost. They stole my money so I’ve deleted the game.

Match 3. After the new update, there is now levels of match 3. Why? I have played over 6400 levels finding hidden objects. But now I have to do levels of match 3. If I wanted a match 3 game I would have downloaded one. Why change the basics of the game? I freaking hate match 3 games!!! I’m ready to delete this game as it now is no longer what I wanted. How frustrating!!!! Change it back. Get rid of the match 3.

Too hard really fast with no daily rewards. Love the game, but it gets really hard fast and gives you no helps, daily, so you’re forced to pay or keep losing. Disappointed so far. Hope they tweak it to be a little more rewarding. Show some ads or something so we can earn some rewards.

Not the same game.. Recently manor matters has changed,now half of it is like candy crush, instead of just hidden objects. I think I will have delete and try junes journey instead.

Disappointed. I loved this game and looked forward to playing it to wind down at the end of the day. Not a fan of the latest couple of updates. Only being able to earn 5 stars (no longer have chest upgrades), the increase in how many stars are needed to complete tasks and now reduced the energy from 80 to 50, has made it too difficult to move forward in the game. This has taken a lot of the fun out of this game. Would love if the developers would reconsider these latest updates. Thanks

Terrible updates.. I put up with only being able to search for 3 objects. I put up with going from 60 to 50 energy. I put up with old rooms not showing up anymore. I put up with the changes to the tools. I was disappointed but I dealt with it. BUT match 3 is too much. This isn’t what I got the game for. I’ve spent money on this game because I liked it so much. Let me know when you get rid of Match 3. I won’t be playing until then. Update August 28: Sadly, I’m going to delete the app and all my progress. There has been no response from the developers to all the disappointment about the Connect 3 update. It’s the lack of any response at all that has made me the most upset. Still, upset about the dumb update that changed the game from something I liked into the drivel it is now. Goodbye Manor Matters.

Hate the update. I used to really like the find it puzzles, but they updated the game so that they have those “candy crush” like levels that I hate, and they seem to have removed all the good levels for the find it puzzles so that they’re far too simple. :/

New update. Do not download anything from these game developers!!!! This game used to be fun. I loved the challenge of new rooms ect. I would purchase extras to help advance to new levels. Money that is now wasted because they removed all the rooms and challenges that I spent money and time to achieve. They ignore customer feedback. They added match 3 games so only half of the levels are hidden object now. I’m so sick of match 3 games and enjoyed this because it didn’t have any of those before. I deleted the app.

Je suis déçu. Est-ce que les jeux d’alignement de trois identiques vont rester jusqu’à la fin du jeu car je trouve cela vraiment insignifiant et je risque d’arrêter de jouer à ce jeu

Different Users Get Different Game Experience. This game was originally advertised as a finding hidden objects game. Very different than the other games from this developer. A relative solely had finding object levels where I had 90% match-3 levels. Response from developer was that they disperse different games. Another reviewer got a response that it was a test to see if people enjoyed the combination of levels. I was told it’s impossible to change my game. This game is no longer unique. You can download many other games with match-3.

I want to love this game. There are a lot of fun and interesting scenarios in this game, but some games have nothing to do with skill and all to do with what aids you get to win. I am far too competitive, so will find myself playing the same game over and over, until I run out of my 5 chances or -if I am lucky enough to get free play for 15-30 minutes- the full time. I know the intent is to get me to buy the coins and aids to win, but I am not going to spend increasing more money to keep playing. The hidden items are hard to see on a smart phone. Playing on a tablet might help see things more easily. Some names of items are a little confusing, so it may take multiple tries to figure out what you are looking for. The items may also change form from one attempt to the next (i.e. figure to picture to shadow). I am at the point where I feel the need to delete the game. I may never find out the secrets in the manor, but I’ll save myself a lot of frustration.

Glitchy after update. I am on level 1575. Loved the game when I first started playing it but have come very close to deleting it here lately. It’s glitchy, shuts off, freezes, won’t work unless zoomed, picky about where you tap on an object (example: I know I’m tapping the correct object but I must use the very tip of my finger in a very specific spot that is not always centered on the object before it’ll accept it or I must zoom in even though the object is clearly visible and the x is centered on it). I am tired of tapping on an object only to find that object was the one I was missing in order to move forward except I ran out of time trying to figure out exactly where on the object to touch. It happens often. I am frustrated with the difficulty of the levels at this point. I see things quickly and have good recall so if I am frustrated I am sure other players are done. It is no longer fun when easy levels take 5 to 7+ tries and super hard levels take 20 to 30+.

Actually really liked it until…. I was really enjoying this game. I liked the story, the variety of the types of puzzles and mini-games, and the flexibility the game gave with allowing you to change your mind on your decoration choices. I was even seriously considering spending money on the game to support the devs, because I was having such a nice time. Then I got to a Super Hard level (79? something close to that). I have tried to beat the level about 10 times. I don’t have enough gold coins to add more moves and I used all of my extra tools trying to beat this level and failing. I could get plenty more coins by purchasing them, but I don’t like to feel forced into purchasing more moves, so I chose instead to uninstall the game. This is disappointing to me, because I liked the game and really wanted to support it, until it showed that I should expect impossible levels I have no choice but to pay my way through once I’m further into it, so I won’t be spending more time or any money on it.

Used to love this game. This game used to be amazing and unique but now it is just a basic match 3 game with very few finding the items that drew me to the game to begin with. Yes playing levels does win you back energy but all of the hard or impossible levels are just that too hard to win. It’s incredibly frustrating to try to beat the levels again again to not be able to unless you spend tons of money to beat the level only to be stuck again in the same loop a few levels later. As someone who has spent way to much of my money on this game I will stop playing because y’all caved to the candy crush players with this match 3 levels. There are so many of the match 3 games out there there that it’s uncalled for. Either fix the super hard to play levels with adding more moves or you will start losing players who do not want to pay a good chunk of money to beat a level only to have to repeat the process a few levels later or be stuck for days in just one level. Put the game back to where it was before you added the match 3 this is not why I downloaded this game!

I love it but boy does it make me frustrated.. (Edit) (the time goes down the further you get into the game and it cheats you out, there’s not enough time and you have to spend money to even beat levels, this really needs to be fixed or I will delete the game because they are just trying to get money from you) This game is super fun but don’t get me wrong it has some down falls. For starters, the energy really makes me mad because you can barley get anything don’t without having to wait to get an energy refill. And also, 2 minutes is not near long enough to find things, especially on the “super hard” levels. That tell you, hey this is super hard. There should be more time on those. Also, in the ones that you have to find the items based solely off the outlines/ shapes. That’s bogus, some of those there would be absolutely no way of knowing. All in all I love the game and I’m addicted. And I’m writing this review because I can’t beat a super hard level.

You guys, come on 🤦🏽‍♀️. Who designs these games? Why do you make it so impossible and frustrating to beat levels? Why not keep it interesting by creating more diverse and interesting scenes with items that players can find reasonably INSTEAD OF making everything tinier and more concealed and more confusing and difficult to find? Some of these items are just downright ridiculous. I just spent all of my energy trying to beat one impossible level (and don’t tell me it’s possible without power ups, cause having a lucky round in your 27th try should not be your definition of “possible”), and the one time I got CLOSE to beating it, I lost because of an “hourglass” that on any other occasion would be called a BOW TIE that was stitched into a curtain on the far right corner of the screen. THATS NOT WHAT AN HOURGLASS LOOKS LIKE. I start playing thinking it will be fun, but always ending up leaving it feeling frustrated and with less faith in the goodness of mankind. You did this on Homescapes too. In fact I’m just done with Playrix at this point. Be fair or don’t make games. Period. Bye.

LOVE LOVE LOVE. I LOVE everything about this game! I love all the different search and find modes, different levels and different scenes. I even love the added touch of the story line, in-game characters, and being able to earn rewards to decorate the mansion or to develop the story and unlock other areas of the mansion. I also love the beautiful graphics. Yes, some levels are definitely harder, but not impossible! I find it completely challenging and addictive and I have not had to spend a single penny to buy coins or tools (though, very tempting). I just wait for my energy to restore and complete the levels to earn the stars and coins. For me, this is what makes it fun and challenging, and so completely addictive! And thank goodness, I have to wait for my energy to restore otherwise I would be playing this game NONSTOP! Every now and then you’ll get a free tool or extra energy while playing or in your daily reward.

I Concur. I agree with most of these reviews. The game started off great! I genuinely enjoyed it. The graphics are clean, the storyline isn’t absurdly hokey and the initial generosity of the free energy was refreshing in a hidden object game. However, as mentioned previously by another consumer, it got “uber hard super fast”. To go from enjoyable to seemingly impossible in an extremely short timeline made it disappointing. It’s rather discouraging to always lose. That wasn’t what provoked this comment. The drive home is seeing the Developers borderline insulting responses to these reviews. Instead of taking the reviews as consumer feedback and considering the validity of the feedback for possible re-evaluation of the progression of the game, the Developer insinuates that these challenging levels can be overcome if you check out their site or learn English. They literally told a consumer to look up the words if they’re too hard for them. Too hard? The word in question was pillow. You need to look up pillow? Not borderline. Just rude. I think the Developer forgot that without these CONSUMERS you have no product. Your welcome.

Absolutely love this game, but…. I never write a review of a game, app, etc. I play this particular game a little more than I probably should. I like it because it is not one of the games that you have to play a level of Candy Crush or Bejeweled in order to get energy to keep the story going. I like the games of finding the hidden items. I love the different styles or ways in finding items. Here’s the “but”. I don’t appreciate when the game deliberately cheats. I am referring to the game of “differences”. It is hard enough to get them on a regular level without “assistance” but when you are on a hard or super hard forget it. I have spent days and money to get past it and still didn’t. The big thing that bothers me is that not all the differences are on the screen when the timer starts. You waste a lot of time going back and forth between sides (because the scene doesn’t fit on the screen). It’s puts me in a position that I want to just scrap the game but the rest of it keeps me going. Thanks.

Good game, but.... Yeah, it’s good graphics. Yes, it’s challenging. But - they change the looks of the items & when you’re being timed and looking for one thing it takes all of your time looking for the different version of it. I also think they could use a bit of matching decor items, the items just don’t “flow” - you get a choice of blue, red, or yellow chair & are offered pink (mauve?), green or orange rug. I know it’s that big of a deal, but it matters to me. I also want to talk about their points system and their purchases. Say you have to have 14 stars to purchase something - then your stars awarded are 5, 2 and another 5. So, you basically have to pass 4 levels just to get one purchase. Frustrating to say the least. The chit-chat between the characters goes on far too long. I’m not talking about the conversations that you can “skip”, rather, I’m talking about the nonsense where (for instance) the cat is under a box, it comes skipping down the stairs, knocks over a plant, then scampers off to the fireplace to hide...then they have to discuss it all - all the while, you’ve been given 15 minutes of free play that is being taken up on chitchat that can’t be skipped through. Summary: this is not a game for me.

Not Enough Energy. Are y’all greedy or what? Since when does a game not reward you with another game to play if you beat a level? Why do you not replenish the 10 energy (why so much? Why not 1 energy so we can actually play the game without interruption Waiting for you to replenish energy? Why not just give it immediately instead of making us wait? Because your needing $? Then get sponsors! My gosh, y’all seem so desperate for $! EVERY SINGLE TIME a game comes up, y’all have your hands out for more money! It’s absolutely pointless trying to enjoy this game constantly having you tugging at our pockets or purse strings for more $! This ofcourse ruins the game! You know putting 2x on items to find in the same amount of time as 1 is going to eat up energy faster and yet you don’t replenish to 10 energy if completed nor do you give 1 energy for EACH TASK like you claim, and only give 5 energy back if completed the game, which is a ripoff. Not cool...not cool at all. Smh

My favorite game!!. I don’t usually write reviews for games.... like ever. But I just HAD to for Manor Matters. I’ve always loved playing the home renovations games and interior decorating but I HATED playing the matching games because I felt like it was always based on chance and I could never win at them. When I found this game and saw that the games are hidden object games?! I fell in love. Not only are the hidden object games challenging and easy at times, but they always change! Whether it’s finding differences or matching things- I’m always entertained and I love when I can consistently win the mini games. And for the best part... it’s also a mystery adventure game?!?! I love that you’re not just renovating the mansion just to renovate- you’re trying to find artifacts and clues to solve a mystery and I love that!!! This game is a combo of my three favorite things: interior design, hidden object games, and mystery adventures. It’s amazing. Highly recommend if you like the same kind of stuff 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

The New Version Isn’t Great. I used to love this game because it was just a bunch of search and find levels. The levels kept getting more challenging as you played the game. It was fun and different from all the other games! However, the developers changed the game this summer and added the 3 in a row style levels. It would be ok if you had one of these levels interspersed between search and find levels but they’re not. You get 5 or 6 three in a row levels and then maybe one search and find. Plus, the search and find levels are easy ones that anyone who’s played the game for a while can quickly win. The more challenging levels have disappeared. It’s a bummer and I don’t enjoy the game like I used to. The premise of the game is still good but I miss how it used to be. I loved that this game was different and was strictly search and find. Maybe the developers can bring back more of those levels and reduce the number of 3 in a row with future updates.

The new design ruined the game.. I use to honestly love this game, I played it daily even before the matching section of the game was under construction. I liked the fact that one level I might need to do a matching type game and the next I would need to do a search type, it kept the game from feeling repetitive. The peak of this game would be when the matching was under construction and there was only searching type levels, it had beautiful graphics and they were challenging. Every time I ran out of energy, I would be excited to play it the next day or a few hours later. I got off of it for about a month however due to some personal issues and I just opened it again, and the new look for the matching really threw me off. The old design was so intricate and full looking, this new one just seems basic and boring. I don’t like it at all and it makes me want to not play the game anymore. If the old design for the game was back, I would be excited to play it daily again but now I really can’t stand the look of my favorite game being made so basic

Fun game but disappointed in puzzles. I downloaded this game from an ad I saw that had different puzzles for you to solve to advance/renovate a house. I was intrigued because I get bored doing one puzzle and after playing the game for a bit, it is predominately the match 3 puzzle which I’m not a huge fan of those types and the ad didn’t even mention that puzzle. So I’m disappointed that the other puzzles aren’t used the same amount as the match 3. The levels of the puzzles are also off. Almost like they are set up for you to fail the more you play so you have to buy stuff (which I understand since the app has to make money somehow). For example, if you don’t complete the puzzle you have so much energy to retry and when you retry, the parts of the puzzle are in different places so it’s like starting all over instead of learning from your mistakes and retrying. So if this game utilized the variety of puzzles more and had the levels of them where you can learn from your mistakes I would give it 5 stars. The no ads, renovating, characters, and storyline are all great.

Difficult Levels, Hard to advance without spending lots of $. I did really like this game but it’s become super frustrating to beat impossible levels without spending money constantly to progress. As if the objects became increasingly difficult to find in the allotted time given wasn’t enough, the game just added a mixture of “explosion” sets that have nothing to do with finding objects. They made finding objects easier (finally) but made the new section harder. I had to spend 900 coins EACH time I needed more moves to complete a puzzle. NOT happy and would rather quit playing than feed constant money into this. My saved energy and coins drastically depleted in a couple days. Don’t start this game unless you’re willing to shell out money. Too frustrating. Not worth it! If the makers want to keep people playing, there needs to be a balance of success for the player without requiring continuous purchases. I’m willing to spend some money (like on Township) now and then, but I refuse to keep making purchases every couple or so days to make progress. It’s just too much and you’ve lost me.

I miss the old game. Been playing this game for years now, though play in batches, usually when I go on vacation. When I started to play it recently I noticed the match 3 level. I thought it was something they were going to mix in occasionally. However it seems the game is now 80% match 3 and the fun finding items is now an after thought and extremely dumbed down. I didn’t want a match 3 game when I downloaded this game, when I feel the desire I have Homescapes. Now this just feels like a copy cat of that game. Not sure why you thought you needed to add all the things, it was good the way it was. I really miss the old game, haven’t used a hint in many levels for the find items because they are pretty obvious. And get stuck on purple match 3 ones for hours (not fun) just hoping the next level will be find items only to see that darn match three again! Holding out a bit longer because I have paid money before, but glancing at reviews seems it’s been this way for awhile./sigh

Fantastic…. Until the kitchen. I’ve been having a ton of fun with this game. Good story line, interesting scenes, needing to know “what happens next?”, it’s all been good. Things like moving objects, objects being more obscure in a scene I’ve played a lot, losing energy… all things I’ve seen in other games. I’m sort of cheap so I expect to repeat scenes. (I’ve probably spent more here than other Playrix games) Then I got to the kitchen. I got three new scenes fairly quickly between the music room and the kitchen. It’s fine; I like new challenges. Except…. It wasn’t. Almost all of the difficult and very difficult scenes were in brand new ones! I didn’t even know what things looked like! I quit playing for almost two months to see if that would re-set things - maybe I’d gotten too good. Nope! Within two days of resuming play, I’m seeing the most difficult settings in scenes I barely know. I’d like to see the conclusion of the Rockville Pie, but I’m not sure if I can bear the frustration factor.

If there was zero stars, I would totally give that. I’m really annoyed. This use to be my favorite game. I was up to a really high level and then my phone broke. I was really upset because all my progress would be lost. I wasn’t able to get a new phone until about 3 months later. When I downloaded it on my new phone, I was upset to find that now there are match three levels!!! Not only that, the find the items levels are so easy it’s not even fun. And the match three levels are so hard you have to use all your powerups just to pass it. Please bring back my favorite game. I read the other reviews and every single one of the 1-3 stars reviews were about the fact that there are now match three levels. I am very disappointed. When you do respond to some of the reviews, it’s a stupid answer like, idk, to give a variety of levels or something. JUST GET RID OF THE STUPID MATCH THREE LEVELS!!!!! It’s an amazing game. Gorgeous graphic, cute story, and no ads. But the match three levels drop this game from a 5 star to a 0 star. If you can randomly change 75% of the levels from find the items to match three, you can change it back. So do it. Thank you in advance

Hate the new update (mostly). I’m glad you fixed the broken energy mechanic so you can actually keep playing as long as you keep winning, I’ll give y’all that. But the rest of the update has completely depleted any interest I had in this game. If I wanted to play a match 3 I would play literally any other home design game. You had something that was actually unique and fun and you ruined it. The hidden object levels are suddenly super easy and the match levels are disproportionately hard. There feels like there are way more match levels than hidden object levels as well, but that might just be because the hidden objects are so easy that I am racing against the clock, and the match levels take several play throughs to get a lucky set up and win. I’m up in the thousands in terms of levels so I’ve been playing for a while and I’ve completely lost all motivation to keep playing. Super disappointing. Let me know when you get rid of the match 3 levels or have an option to turn them off, and fix the hidden object difficulty, and I’ll happily play again.

If you love Hidden Object Games…. Edit* I have uninstalled the game. Hidden object levels are barely existent now. They took my money for pool season in bad faith. I purchased a pass for pool season with the understanding I was playing a hidden object game, they changed the format to 95% match 3 halfway through. I got sick of getting stuck on match 3 levels for days, never being able to win or even participate in challenges. Most match 3 levels are designed for you to lose no matter how many power ups you have. Spending 3 days to a week trying to beat a level over and over again is boring. I used to spend money on the passes because with it being hidden object, I at least had a shot of completing them, having played Homescapes, I know that isn’t possible with match 3, so I will no longer spend money. If you love hidden object games, this game is not for you. Barely any hidden object play. What little there is, it is repetitive, same 5 scenes, too easy and too short of game play. If you like getting stuck for days on a match 3 level, this game is for you. Really disappointing. They ruined a good game and may lose a PAYING customer.

Used to love the game, but not now. I first knew Manor Matters as a game in which I had to find the hidden objects to finish the scenes. I used to think that this game was too hard and unbeatable. But now, I just want it to get back to that time. I could understand why the Developer changed the game to match-3, but I still want the game back to the original version. The former format was obviously unique and attractive, but now, it's so boring and just the same as Homescapes and Gardenscapes. When it comes to match-3, it's too hard. But it's too easy when it comes to the hidden objects scenes. The symbol of the game still has the magnifying glass, but the concept is mainly match-3, which makes it boring. Please don't just tell me that you want to diversify the game when you even have Homescapes and Gardenscapes, and you still find that's not enough? I still remember the energy system, and I love that so much. Every scene is so beautiful though quite hard to win, but now, it seems to fade away. The hidden objects scenes are too rare while the match-3 is the majority. It's not diversifying the game, but it's that you're just destroying the game.

Without time limit would be a great game. I enjoy playing finding objects games - up to a point. In my opinion, the purpose of a game is to enjoy the game enough to want to play it regularly. This game became ridiculously hard rather quickly. I don’t mind spending a reasonable amount of money for hard and very hard levels, but I have yet to beat either a hard or very hard level without spending money. I have been able to beat other Playrix games with hard and very hard levels without ALWAYS having to purchase tools or power ups. Despite what the developer says about their tips website and that all levels are beatable without help, don’t believe it unless you are a very serious gamer with incredible eye hand coordination. The game would be greatly enhanced by eliminating the time limit, increasing the time limit, or leaving the objects in the same place on retry. Instead of enjoying the game, I am mostly frustrated and this game will now join the scrap pile with the other finding object games that have unreasonable time limits. I want to play to have fun and follow the story line, not to be continuously frustrated or having to spend a LOT of money to play.

Great at first... This game is so much fun at first. No ads are displayed and it is fun to go through these levels and build the manor back up. As this can definitely be a free to play game, though I have spent some money to support the game and get some goodies. I had so much fun building up the first section of the house, once I got into the other room and started working on Totems, the difficulty level spiked so high, that it is no longer that fun to play. You hop in, spend all 50 energy to beat levels with fog (which is the most aggravating mechanic), you need to find even more items with the same time limit and the addition of hard and harder levels is a bit much. You cannot bypass these levels and sometimes they can take 5-8, or more attempts. You cease building up the manor because you aren’t passing levels and it really slows down. These devs seem active so I am hoping to see some changes to the difficulty and the removal of fog and for hard and harder levels to become optional instead of mandatory. I play mostly on an iPhone so perhaps it is best made for an iPad. Hope some changes are made because I really enjoyed the game.

Not as good as you think.. I have played hidden objects and when they use an item, like a pumpkin, first time it’s ok, second time it was a gord shape and yellow, third time it was so small it looked like an apple. They shrink items so small that you can’t determine what it is. Or they overlap and item where you can only see a part of it, if you see it at all! For example, I was to look for a red poster, it turned out to be a beige square under a newspaper where I honestly did not see it, I was just hitting blind items to find it. They make it so hard so you will buy stuff to help (which you have no control over when you want to use it & you have to tap it before the puzzle starts). It could be fun but it just ends up being irritating. Don’t download, not worth the time. Just saw that someone else complained about the same thing I mentioned. They responded with you can pause the game but what they don’t tell you is when you pause the game it covers the ENTIRE SCREEN with a curtain so you can’t see anything not even the items names. MONEY GRAB

Love this game but think there should be a few changes. First off i usually don’t write reviews for games but i really would like this game to succeed. Therefore i think way to much energy is being used for each level the max is 60 and we use 10 each round for only five stars. Going into the five stars we should honestly either be getting more stars or having to use less stars to complete each task. I mean some of the task as for 23 stars which is ridiculous. I do enough how challenging some of these scenes are but I also think there needs to be more common and specific items. I mean a pillow could be anything but no one is expecting a neck pillow or a throw pillow. The graphics are beautiful but having to wait that long for only 60 health is very discouraging. I hope in future update the creators can accommodate people who don’t have facebooks accounts and who do not want to join up in an online team. I hope to see the items to be more common and specific. Lastly, I hope to see a change in either how much energy we get or how much we use for each scene.

Crappy Update. Like so many others, I hate the latest update. I downloaded this game because it’s supposed to be a hidden object game. Instead, I got a match-3 game with a few hidden objects scenes thrown in. Not only that, but a lot of the match-3 levels are extremely hard to win. I’ve been stuck on some of those levels for over a day! And that makes my chances of winning any of the other fun built-in challenges impossible. Along with that, some of the hidden objects are extremely easy to find. This is not the game I originally downloaded. It’s so disappointing. The only good thing about the latest update is that you don’t lose any energy when you beat a level. That was a very smart move. I love the characters - they’re so fun and silly at times. The story is good. I like the small bonus games. But seriously, developers, listen to the people that play this game, TAKE OUT THE MATCH-3 SCENES!! We hate them and that’s not what this game is supposed to be. We want our totally hidden objects game back! Please!!

This Was Fun…. I never really write reviews for games, but I felt compelled to do so for this game. It was my favorite game; it was absolutely addicting. It was such a unique and fun concept. It’s really really difficult to find a good mobile game that doesn’t force you to watch ads after every turn. I’ve always loved hidden object games; I used to play iSpy and do the little puzzles in magazines. This is exactly what I wanted and more, not to mention, the artwork is stunning. Now, this game used to be 5 stars for me. This update… it’s ruined it. I HATE match-3, and it’s the reason why this game was so fun for me. I’m also in the 3,000 levels, so it was definitely a fun challenge with the harder modes and maps. Now, I just feel like I’m playing level 10 over and over and over again. It is so boring and frustrating. Although, there is a positive to the update—restoring energy after winning. I miss the old version of the game, and I hope that the devs will eventually listen to their players and change these aspects. Until then, I will not be playing.

I’m Rating 4 Stars Because…. While I do deeply enjoy the game in itself, the storyline, the puzzles, and the art… A lot has changed since I first downloaded. I downloaded this game a couple years ago because I was interested in the unique ‘finding object feature’ and found it rather entertaining. Unfortunately, I had to uninstall it to free up some space and forgot to reinstall it when I had space. I redownloaded it a couple days ago and was surprised to find all these new game modes! I do like them, and I enjoy the variety, but I dislike the fact that the match-3 mini games have become the main game you play. I would much rather have them be a side game, and back to the classic object in picture be the main game. For example, after every 2-3 find the object levels have one of the minigames/match-3 games in between instead of vice versa. I feel like there are hardly any of them anymore! Thank you for regarding and reading this review, have a good day.

Terrible update!. I used to love this game and would have given it 5 stars. But they ruined it with this update. Now it’s just a boring match 3 game like dozens out there. They occasionally throw you a hidden object level but most of the levels are match 3 levels now! Also, one of my favorite parts of the game was unlocking new scenes to find hidden objects in, but that seems to be dead. I unlocked the kitchen a week ago and haven’t seen it since. Instead it’s the same early scenes over and over again: street, pantry, study, fireplace room, over and over. I haven’t seen the greenhouse, the garden, the front gate, the bedroom, the toy shop, the garage, the blacksmith shop… the few hidden object levels they include are so repetitive now. And like I said I haven’t seen the kitchen since I unlocked it a week ago. But I have seen dozens of match 3 levels I never asked for and don’t want. Also, the super hard levels are never hidden object levels, only match 3 levels which makes it much easier for the game to cheat you out of winning the level. If I wanted a match 3 game I would have played one. I hate this update.

Lots of fun but a bit difficult. Before I downloaded this game, I looked at the reviews and people were saying that it was super hard and I shouldn’t get it but I tried it anyway. At first I wasn’t sure about what it was going to be like but then it got really addicting. I’m glad that this isn’t another match 3 game cuz there’s too many of those. I haven’t gotten far but I’ve gotten far enough to realize that that it gets very challenging. I like having to play something and feel challenged. I really like this game but I sometimes spend way too long trying to do one level. I think that some of the objects are way too hidden but eventually I can complete the level. The only thing that I would change is the time limit. You could maybe give the more difficult ones a bit more time and the easier ones less time. Sometimes I fail the level with only one item left and if I had enough gold or enough time I could find it but anyway...I really like this game but it could use just a few tweaks.

Tired of Losing. I have really enjoyed playing this game. I like that it is a search for items rather than the match three types. I even like the variety of levels so it’s not the same thing over and over again. However, it’s hard to find items because the picture itself is different every time you play a new level. Sometimes they are hidden so well that you can’t find it at all. I don’t mind that the picture itself changes position, it’s that it’s a new picture every level and it can change sizes. Sometimes big, sometimes small. Sometimes it changes the color so it can hide in the shadows, or blend in with its surroundings. I just started the “one of three” variety and can’t pass because I only have 20 seconds to find the item that changes its look and position every time. Then when I use the boosters at the beginning, I can’t even use them because I can’t find enough items to get to the point of being able to use them. I also don’t have enough coins to pay for more time or additional help, because I can’t pass the level. I’m stuck and sick of the game.

Used to love... 4 months ago I would have given this game 5 stars… I felt it to be perfect balance on challenging but still fun. I loved the concept of finding objects in scenes, and it was something I hadn’t seen before. Now with the implementation of match 3, some of the levels feel downright impossible and either you win on chance or are forced to buy coins in order to progress past the level and continue playing. This makes it super difficult to complete the in game events because if I spend all my lives on one level, I then have to wait hours for all the lives to replenish (unless I were to buy coins). I used to enjoy this game because it was unique, but now it’s just frustrating and feels like another pay-to-win style of game. And when the search scenes do appear every 5-6 match 3 level, they are ridiculously easy. Very unhappy with the changes. That said I still enjoy the in game events and I will continue to play, I just hope either the match 3 is rolled back, or removed all together.

Disappointing. Loved the original 2 Gardenscapes! My mother and I played the games and really enjoyed them. Then instead of updating them to play with newer IOS versions, they changed the game to a match game ruining it. I found this game and got excited. Unfortunately instead of being able to pay for the game, being able to turn the timer off, and being able to purchase the magnifying glass, etc, for reasonable prices when necessary, they created a game where you cannot turn off the timer nor are the purchases reasonable. To buy anything is too expensive. Some of the times to find things are ridiculous. I have even used 1 of every helper and could not beat a level. So I have not purchased anything. I will keep playing it for now but it is not a game to relax by like the original Gardenscapes. This game is very stressful. If we could pay for a version that we could turn the timer off and enjoy the game would be awesome. Also be able to buy several of each of the helpers for say 99 cents, I might spend money. My mother cannot even play this game because of the timer. I was trying to find a game for her but this is not it. I know that you need to make money but this game is ridiculous.

Meh. Game starts out pretty fun. It’s a standard hidden object game and decorating the mansion is fun. There are usually little challenges and special events where you can earn tools and extra energy. However, as the game goes on levels just get ridiculously hard. There are hard levels and then there are super hard levels. As you progress in the game you get more and more of the hard and super hard levels. You’ll be expected to find a ridiculous amount of items in like 45 seconds with a cloud drifting around the screen obscuring everything(cloud mode or some such nonsense.) You play maybe two scenes and then have a hard level. Play maybe one or two more scenes after that and whoops here goes a super hard level. For most super hard levels it’s just not possible to win without using a million tools, or losing so many times that you automatically know where every item could be hidden because there’s only so many places they can hide an object in a particular scene. I, like most people, play these type of games to de-stress and relax. So many hard and super hard levels is not relaxing, and it’s not fun.

Gave it a shot, but fell short. When I first downloaded this game, I was a bit wary as it seemed a similar premise as Homescapes (home renovation bought by doing puzzles) with maybe a bit of a mystery story; and since Homescapes became more of a chore to play, I hoped this would be different. I love hidden object games and think myself to be fairly good at them. Some of the levels on here were a bit difficult, but I enjoyed the challenge. However, at a certain point, the goals are pointless and do not add to the story (just fulfills the home renovation mostly), but stay expensive (13 stars to unlock, only 5 stars awarded per puzzle), and the puzzles become impossible without additional clues. Of course to get clues, you need a lot of gold, and for a lot of gold, you need to buy it. I hardly got to any significant “mystery” before the puzzles consisted of 8 simple-shaped silhouettes to find in 1 minute but could be extremely well hidden. Buying 26+ seconds is 900 gold. Buying hints 600+ gold. Unfortunately, the story is basic and not compelling enough to warrant any further play or purchase. I wouldn’t recommend.

Love but bummed. I wish i could give half stars. I really loved this game when i first found it. Unique and fun. Loved unlocking new scenes & finding new objects while renovating the mansion & having decor options was a plus ! But since it updated with the match-3 levels it became less of a unique game & more of an annoying one in that aspect. Some of the match-3 levels are ridiculously hard to beat. I’ve spent days or weeks on one level & it got to the point where i didn’t pick the game up for months. If you’re intending on keeping the match-3, fine. But maybe making the “hard” ones not so hard ? You could add more moves and make it to where your power ups fall down or slide over when it moves to the next section of the level. It’s just irritating not being able to pass 1 level for days + and makes me not want to play at all. I’m sure there are plenty of reviews like this so please take them into consideration.

Frustrated Fan- Deleting App. I’m currently on level 738 and I HATE the games objectives!!! PLEASE stick with the original games that made me enjoy & download your app to begin with. Scenes where you have to locate hidden items in the outdoor marketplace or at the train station. THOSE scenes are the best!!! Currently, you have 2 screens to complete and the amount of moves you’re given to pass the level are a joke. It’s impossible to advance UNLESS you want to shell out some money to purchase boosters. The developers make it impossible to advance unless you’re willing to make their pockets a bit fuller and I’m not big on supporting the greedy. If I wanted to play a game that requires me to change all of the spaces to green, I’d download a home remodeling app…just like every other app in the Apple store. The lower level scenes were so much more original & fun. If it isn’t broken, don’t fix it!!!! I’m very disappointed in the scenes offered at the higher levels. Deleting this app for the second time because it isn’t fun & original any longer.

OMG!!!! Amazing Game must download!!!. Ok seriously this is an amazing app it is so much fun. It is hard for me to find puzzle games that I enjoy so when I saw this one i had low hopes for it. When i tried it though it was amazing there is two different types of puzzles picture puzzles and the normal puzzle that most puzzle games have. There are different variations of the picture puzzle. Like find items through moving clouds, finding items through silhouettes and more. There is also different scenes with different items to find. The weekly events are so much fun as well as the holiday updates. There is so much to do so you will never get bored. My friends love the game as much as me in there words it is one of the best puzzle games there is. I completely agree. All in all you should really download this game it is so much fun I promise you won’t regret it.

Love it but.... I read a post back in August which states that the person’s energy was eaten up fast and the developer stated that the energy was extended to 80 and that’s not true for me. I still get 60/60. My biggest issue with the game is the amount of stars necessary to complete the tasks. I’m almost at a point where I want to delete the game. The tasks requires too many stars for what I believe are simple tasks. You only get five stars for the average task and then seven and ten for the harder tasks. I have spent a great deal of money for helps and I just don’t want to do it anymore. I feel that it should not require four games to complete something as simple as planting a tree or flowers. I really like the game but I have slowed down a lot since I can’t move forward anyway because of how many games I have to complete tasks. I recommend that you increase the amount players get for each game or lower the amount of stars for each task.

Wish they hadn’t changed it. I used to absolutely love this game because it afforded me the ability to participate in a home decorating game without the need for the awfully frustrating tile swap challenges seen in other games such as Homescapes or Gardenscapes, both from the same company. Instead it offered the ability to progress through a mystery in the house by finding hidden objects, something I loved! I took a break from the game and came back to find it had nearly turned into a carbon copy of the other two games I’d mentioned above and was seriously disheartened. The unique gameplay aspect was something I adored from this game and now I’m back to being frustrated as I go days without being able to clear a tile-swap level or having the coins to purchase bonuses. If I’d wanted that gameplay, I would've redownloaded Homescapes instead. Regardless, I do love that they didn’t completely do away with the hidden object levels and quite like the new life-based system instead of the energy system that was previously in place.

Amazing game, but some levels aren’t dyslexia friendly. This game is perfect for me. I love the renovation aspect of home/gardenscapes. The only thing I didn’t like? The match 3 format. I have dyslexia (more about that in a second) and it doesn’t only affect words but it affects numbers and counting things so match 3 games always became impossible after a while so when I found this I was so excited. I can’t put it down. My only complaint is the scrambled words levels. Like I mentioned before I have dyslexia. Most people with it “learn” word and so when they read them if it seems off they assume it to be a word or they just have memorized it. Many people with dyslexia also add or remove letters. So this combined with the already scrambled words makes it nearly impossible to make sense of and very stressful. I think it would be good if there was some way to turn off this type of level as an option in settings for those with dyslexia.

Frustrating first, fun second. If you’re looking for the chill game that the developer advertised, go somewhere else because it’s definitely not here. The game is fun, but a little too much on the challenging side. Without the glorious micro transactions that all these games have devolved into, there is simply not enough time on the scenes to find all the objects. (Before you say anything devs, yes I know you can buy boosters with gold, but you know as well as I do that the gold runs out quick, as you designed, and then you have to buy more). I’ll give credit that the scenes are well done and the objects cleverly hidden. I would just rather pay $10 to begin with and not have any micro transactions, energy, or time limits to deal with. Update: this game is entirely too difficult, drives micro transactions through force instead of goodwill and even punishes you if you don’t tap specifically on the object. Oops just lost 10 seconds because you don’t have toothpick fingers. Also, I have come across a grand total of 0 levels that you actually look for numbers in. False advertising much?

Awesome game, TERRIBLE update. I loved this game so much, this was my favorite! The style, the gameplay of the hidden pictures, the storyline, it was awesome! I was doing really well, and had like almost the first two rooms renovated, and I was loving it! But then it updated, and it made nearly every level into a match-3! I am so tired of match-threes, if I wanted a match-3 game, there’s literally hundreds I could have downloaded. It totally ruined my favorite game, now I’m always stuck on some match-3 level I don’t really even want to play, and I don’t ever get to do the hidden pictures, which used to be the whole point of the game, that’s one of the top reasons I loved it. Also, I had unlocked some really cool rooms on the hidden picture portion of the game, and they were just starting to get challenging enough that I was really having a great time trying to solve them. But the update only gives me like the first few easy rooms now, it took away all those awesome ones I had unlocked! Can you PLEASE put it back how it was before that update?? I’d love to have my favorite game back!!

Liked the game at first….. I like how you have a hidden object scene to complete and the graphics are great. What I don’t like is that as you get a little further into the game, your searching time that started at 2min becomes 90sec or just 60sec for a lot of items. Also, you have to decide if you want to use some of your hints before you start the scene, otherwise, if you do not have any left in the scene, you have to pay. I think if you earn them, you shouldn’t have to decide to use them before you know what the scene will be like. Another thing is you have to have a lot of stars to do one task in the mansion and gets every worse when you get to the second mansion on the island. Lastly, even further on in the game, it is constant competitions that you can’t opt out of and becomes distracting/irritating. Wish the developers could add an opt out option or not have infinite back to back competitions and would lower the amount of stars needed to complete a task. It’s stupid to have to pay 20 stars so Peggy can translate something and then 35 stars to do the task. What used to be a fun relaxing game turned into an unappealing frustrating game.

Horrible Update. I used to be OBSESSED with this game. I played Homescapes and Gardenscapes and got tired of the repetitive match 3 format, so I was thrilled when I discovered Manor Matters. I loved the hidden objects format, and enjoyed how challenging it would often be. It was so fun to unlock new areas and always have a new challenge to solve. The latest update really bummed me out, as now this is literally just a match 3 game with occasional hidden object levels, and those levels are so easy they’re not even fun anymore. While the new hidden object levels are too easy, the match 3 levels are ridiculously hard, bordering on impossible to beat without powerups that cost a ridiculous amount of coins. I’m really sad my favorite mobile game has taken such a nosedive down, as this was my favorite hidden objects game I had ever played, and now I’ll have to find a new one to enjoy. I would love to keep playing this game, but unfortunately I’ve been stuck on one of the new horrible match 3 levels for 4 days, so I don’t see that happening anytime soon. This is now just another Homescapes, so I’m genuinely sad to say I’ll be moving on to a new hidden objects game.

Hard. I would love to continue to play this game and even spend money on it but because of the levels being so hard and the time limit they give u is so unfair i just can’t. I am pretty good at these games but this one has me wanting to throw my device across the room at times. If the items are gonna be that hidden or tiny then u should give more time and it’s not just me complaining about the time and extremely difficult levels I have read countless reviews and one after the other have mentioned that it’s hard and not enough time given to search. I won’t be spending money in this game because I’ll use all my tools for each level which is a waste of money. I would love to keep playing, but until this is fixed I’m going to have to delete it. It shouldn’t take me days to finish one scene. I’m not that far into the game, I’m still in the first room please fix that so I can continue to play this game again and spend some money on it then I will be more then willing to rate this a five star game the story line is interesting and I’m really curious to find out more.

Great Hidden Object Game, but.... Great Hidden Object game, but the recent update changed the way energy is used. You previously used 10 energy points to play a scene, and if you completed it, you received your 10 energy points back. If you did not complete the scene, you lost those 10 points. Now, you still use your 10 energy points per scene, but you don’t win any back...they’re just gone whether you complete the scene or not. Winning just doesn’t feel like winning anymore. The daily rewards are nice, but since I can’t keep playing longer than the energy bar will allow (it’s been bumped up to 80 from 50), I sadly won’t be playing the game as much. I don’t like the idea of purchasing more energy and the coffee energy boosters don’t seem to be as valuable as they once were. Being rewarded for completing a scene was what kept me playing. Now even the tournament challenges don’t seem as exciting since I’m limited in game time. If the energy usage was changed back to the previous version (bonus if it kept the extended 80 range), I’d give this game the 5 stars it deserves.

It’s love/hate for me. I love so many things about this app. I like that there are a few different places the same object will be in the same puzzle from one round to another. If I found it once, I’m more likely to find it again, so it’s cool that it changes up. I love the different types of puzzles, like the find 30 of this object, or rearranging the tiles to make a picture, or the new find 4 of this item, then 4 of another. And while I love the constant promotional challenges that rotate through (makes it easier to stock up on stars, or helps, etc), I do wish I could opt out of some of them. I love that you can play without paying, and it may be a bit slower going, but it’s possible. I love the updates that improve things, but the one I take issue with is the change from 4 items at a time down to 3 items at a time. Sometimes I can find and rotate through the 2 or 3 with 1-2 hard ones to find, but I’ll see those hard ones along the way. Now I have less time to explore before my time is up, because I’m basically looking for 1 at a time when they're trickier.

…. I love this game. I’ve been playing it for years now. But the amount of match 3 levels compared to photo hunts now is dumb. I picked this game because I like to play photo hunt. Now I’m playing match 3 over and over and then one random photo hunt. If I wanted to play match 3 I’d download candy crush. Bring back more photo hunt levels!!!!! Also my game keeps going back to “win and reach the top of the winner board” now I’m playing levels and receiving no stars for the levels I win. Its not even giving me rewards after winning multiple levels anymore. It’s no fun when you can’t progress your manor. Which is the point right…. So not only am I playing a bunch of levels of match 3 but I’m not getting any reward for it! I would like to move forward with my manor but I’ve been stuck with 7 stars for a week because it’s still on the leader board. Real close to saying goodbye to this game. Go back to what you started the game with. PHOTO HUNT. And give me my stars for my wins 😭
