A sudden crash from the next room wakes you from dreams of magical lands, and sets your heart racing in your chest.
Sitting bolt upright in bed, the strange feeling returns as your eyes adjust to the darkness, focusing on the odd wooden symbols across the mantel of the fireplace. Almost as if something were calling you...
Turning on the lamp, you cautiously get up, moving towards the sound that woke you. This is your uncle's house and though you've been here many times, it suddenly feels very different.
The room is littered with wonderfully strange and interesting artifacts, souvenirs from your uncle's travels, from where he would not say. On the floor lays a small tiled box, broken open. Unfolding the paper nestled within it, you instantly recognize the symbols.
The fireplace!
Running back into the bedroom, you examine again the symbols on the paper. They match perfectly those in the woodwork of the mantel, but are arranged differently...
Though your hands are shaking with excitement, you work quickly, rearranging the wooden symbols to match the ones on the paper, hearing them click into place easily one after the other, until the pattern is complete.
Suddenly, beams of golden sunlight burst through the opening in the fireplace, cutting through the darkness in the room. Standing back with a gasp, you look through the opening, eyes wide in awe at the beautiful, magical land from your dream on the other side.
With a deep breath, you step through the opening and take your first steps into another world...

Best mobile adventure games!

I love these games! They are fun without being maddening. :) My two kids play through all of them every few months.
Beautiful but short.

As with other games from this developer, this game is well designed and executed. The art and music are beautiful, and the puzzles are fun. Overall the game isn’t as challenging as it could be and I was able to breeze through it in an hour or so, but it was still enjoyable.
BELLS

I can’t get the bells to open the wall. I know that I have the right sequence, but I doesn’t work. I like the game until this happened.

I am a fan of the Fire Maple games. Hidden World benefits from the forethought that went into making the puzzles fit in with the story, which the developers seem to get better at with each release. The puzzles themselves are at a medium level of difficulty; just hard enough to make you think, but far from exasperating. I also appreciate how the developers spent time creating clever, organic puzzles that avoid employing the lazy tropes (slider puzzles, combination lock puzzles, tiny hidden objects, finding/using items that make no sense in the story/environment) that many of the games in the genre fall back on. This game, like all of Fire Maple’s games, is a welcome relief from the gloomy, creepy settings and atmosphere in most of the games in this genre. The music is pleasant and the visuals are colorful, which makes for a stress-free, family-friendly, puzzle-solving experience. The journal and the map are useful features, as well. Overall, this is a nice, calm way to spend a few hours, and scratch that puzzling itch. It doesn’t quite measure up to the Room and House of DaVinci games, but it’s a decent approximation.
AMAZING ?????

It's so hard to find games like this. I'm sick of "hidden objects" and need more of strategic mysteries like this. Excellent game pack. I got the bundle and could not get off my phone.
Enthralling, beautiful, challenging

The graphics are stupendous!! The game is incredibly made and structured. It is appropriately challenged. My overall thought: perfect.
Bells
Frustrating bells
I can not get past the bells, i put in the correct combination and it won't open the trap the door. It's really bothersome not to have this fantastic game work. I hope the problem can get fixed.
