Plays well 〰
Casual mode
Not my favorite of the series, but it plays well, no glitches. Minus an extra star for BF begging for ratings with outdated pop-ups throughout the game..I wouldn't mind once, at the end of the game only. Gameplay is decent length, puzzles were a little more interesting, however the calls from headquarters add no real value to the story and are just an annoyance. Appreciate when the reviews here exclusively address the game at hand, I don't appreciate having to weed through the grandstanding and personal chat. There are more appropriate forums.
No kidding, the kinks are awful

This could be a really enjoyable game. The prior reviews are not sore losers, as with some games. We've been gaming for awhile now, right? and we know what is required for a game to flow smoothly. I know my iPad is kept up with the newest updates, etc. Pros: a decent premise for a story, with good graphics, objects to collect and use, and hidden objects. The puzzles are a hit and miss. Cons: some puzzles are impossible to figure out. I like the originality a lot, but if they'd only hint of a purpose or strategy. Not all puzzles are poorly designed, though. Draccy was right. Same puzzle, same no solving it. The clunker comes in the cave scene near the end, where you have to take the two circles w/hands and move them until the scene comes into focus with its overlay. I've brought it into focus many times over two days. Have watched the walk through tutorial on a gamer's YouTube channel. Have studied the Big Fish strategy guide. Nothing seems to work for this particular puzzle, and like Draccy's review stated, there's no skip option at all, not even for the casual level. So I guess I'm done with this game. No bonus game or any extras since I can't finish. I'm quite disappointed and bummed. Am sure hoping the developers will improve the game play in these clunky spots. Big Fish, I've been staying away from your recent games for the past 1/2 year as they have either been goofy, horror filled, or subpar. I'd hoped another Hidden Expedition would be a few steps up from the past. Maybe soon? For as it stands, it's not at the moment. I will try to get a refund. Har. If anyone successfully completes that ridiculous cave puzzle, please let me know.
Really Good One!

I have really enjoyed this game. It works smoothly; I have not encountered any software glitches. The story is interesting, not macabre! I don't like the horror ones. This one is a fun mystery.
Very Entertaining!

By far the most challenging. Great graphics and the plot was interestingly unique. It was refreshing to see no demonic stuff. Thank you developers!

ATTENTION ALL! YOU CAN NOW PLAY PUPPETSHOW! Except BigFish doesn't know that! If you bought it and waited on the update, and didn't request a refund, you can reinstall it and it runs properly now! ERS brought out version 1.0.4, and it worked. I won't officially review it under this title, but it was a decent game. Not great! There were rodents, and I should have waited from a warning from Dracyy! On to the game. This is one of my favorite series from EIPIX. As per usual, there are 3 levels of difficulty, no customization of settings. The game was a decent length and had a bonus adventure, which focused on Magellan. There was no journal but objectives were regularly updated. As with the others in this series, you have your HELP box and collect fact cards and hidden symbols at each location. The graphics were magnificent and you go to several different locations, including Sri Lanka and Portugal. There is a teleport map (marked dependent on your settings) to transport you. Loading was not instantaneous between locations but the lag time was only a second or 2. Inventory was labeled and there were complex items to assemble. Certain locations had slide zones which made it a bit more interesting. There was a lot to do at most locations. The HO scenes had variation and some had micro-puzzles embedded within the scene. There were morphing objects in the HO scenes. It would have been nice if there had also been an option to play match-3 or mahjong instead, but they didn't give us an option. There was a large variety of puzzles and sometimes one puzzle led to another. There were games of skill, logic and of course there was some boring rotational junk, but there was something for everyone! This time EIPIX even gave us a super puzzle! What they didn't give us (thankfully) was rats! Note to Dracyy! I know you were frustrated with the focus game that you couldn't skip. I know you can do it, but not while enduring a migraine. It really took time to get it right but I have faith in you! You CAN finish this game! If I did it, and I am impatient, you can too! Good luck, my friend! I really enjoyed the game but I cannot give it a full 5 stars. I am deducting a star for lack of a cohesive journal, the confusing map (too many dancing circles and xxxx), and slight touch sensitivity issues when using inventory and playing mini-games. However it was an enjoyable game and I look forward to the next one in this series. Lynxie sends ❤️?? and holiday wishes to Dracyy, KimTwilight, Izzyoc, Sunshine Susie, Opinion and the rest of The DTE! Happy gaming everyone!

Love this series, but this one is a dud. Had trouble with freezing, clunky slow response in mini games and now the transparent scene near the end is totally frozen. Overall graphics sub par as well. The story is actually very interesting and nice facts about turtles was nice. I'm upset I don't get to see how it ends or if I collected all the stuff. Disappointed.
great game with 1 problem which u can't move past.

The plot, different Challenges etc are all top notch. While some puzzles are tough, so far I have gotten through until the hands in the cave. My issue is trying to bring the "statue" into focus in the cave. There is no skip bottom, and as my hands do shake, it is impossible for me to get past this. I am forever stuck here unless there is a way to do it. I went to the guide and although it shows positions of the 2 "handprints", I am still unable to make it work. Anything u can tell me to move on? The hands shaking is is medical related but I buy 2 games a week Usually) for several years now Thanks
Pretty enjoyable

This game has a fun story line and is fairly straightforward. Some of the HOS are pretty finicky about touching exactly on a specific point. The puzzles are enjoyable and so far I haven't encountered any glitches. I'm giving it four stars because of how finicky it is in the HOS.
