Secret Passages:Hidden Objects for Android
Game moves fast, explains little, worlds open before you know what to do. Power Up objects won't work for me, & there's nothing to say what a Power Up will do. I have stars I can't use. I can't see what's in my backpack. I'm not spending money for anything, so finding rubies to buy food is ridiculous. There ought to be another way. Going back to worlds to get stuff is also time-consuming. When does that stop? It would be nice to get questions answered quickly, but Facebook tells me that's impossible.
I really enjoy the game and used to play on a previous tablet about a year ago, but I don't remember the searches costing so much energy previously (I think each search used to cost 14 iso 24), so each game lasted a whole lot longer, and getting stars to unlock the next level of each scene was almost effortless, but I've been playing for days now and still haven't been able to unlock the next relic in any of the scenes, and can't find the FAQs anywhere, so that I can figure out if I'm doing something wrong. Am I missing something? How do I get more stars to unlock the next relic? It also keeps asking me to drop the power ups into slots to activate them or something, but it won't let me. What's that about? There have been too many negative changes since I last played. It used to be a lot easier and nicer to play. One positive change is that it now zooms in to each section of the scene iso having to search the entire scene at once.
The search is OK . Energy cost is too high compared to your starting energy level...you get to do 4 areas before you have to wait for an hour and half to regenerate....
The objects are mislabeled, or inconsistently named. Or misspelled. I try to look up the things new to me, like trogon. But diya? Fancy ches? TOY CAT IS HORSE PULL TOY ? Still, I have been playing forever!
U can only play so far then u run out of energy quick then u have 2 purchase more energy by using ur rubies & they get used fast. Haven't played long enough 2 get the real feeling.
I love all the puzzles and the graphics are amazing! Wish more energy was given for at least double the amount of searching for relics, 4 tries is too quick! The game is very addictive, but sometimes I feel so anxious for the energy bar to fill up so i can get to the next. Beautifully designed though. So much going on, it's challenging to keep up. And yes, like someone said here, NEED MORE RUBIES!!!!
Extra energy is bought with in game currency, rubies, which cost real cash same goes for speed ups. You don't get energy refill when you level up which was dissappointing. There seems to be a lot of waiting involved for energy and for new areas to open . Very early for review, but this is when it was requested. May change opinion after playing more.
Is a good game but could be better if there's other ways to get more energy or drop amount of energy per area, so can play game longer. I just start getting into the game and then I have to wait til energy is replenished. Improve on this, then will give 5 stars.
I really enjoy the game. It doesn't follow the pattern of most other hidden object games. What I don't like is the fact that I can only play 3 times before I run out of energy. Although the energy is replenished rather quickly, I find that I get busy with other things and don't get back to the game for another day or 2, losing my daily bonus. I also don't quite understand the dig process.
I really like the game. I just hate that it uses so much energy that after finding about 4 things, you are done until the energy bar refills. Just when you are getting into playing the game, you have run out of energy. Disappointing.
I really like this game but needing 24 pts to do 1 search and max pts is 100 so 4 searches and usually only gets u 1 trade. and trying to get 320 rubies to fix a portal and u have 10 to do ridiculous especially cuz it takes forever to collect rubies- 5 or 10 at a time. loosen up please
The biggest problem is that it takes forever to accomplish anything. You rise in level and never get any more energy. Stay at a constant 100 and each search costs 24 energy what gives with that... then to top it all off i work hard to rebuild a site just to find i gotta use rubies to upgrade. Sorry but i got bored before i ever got excited.
Enjoy it so far. Very great that there is not time bounded in searching. The draw back is that the energy run out fast and you need internet to play the games. I change from 5 star to 4. Light house does not work!!! Whenever I start it, the game ends itself. Please fix it!!!!
One of the best hidden object games I've played. Lots of variety and things to do. The game is set up to take advantage of impatient people who will buy extra rubies and shovels to move along faster. Shovel generation should be quicker and easier to find rubies and special items. One big issue is server connection - haven't been able to connect in two days so impossible to rack up runs on daily rewards.
Really need more ruby's and stones no one should have to pay 20 to 100 dollars to enjoy a game!! This is the only game I have enjoyed ever. So let's get some surprises and keep us coming back for more
24 units of energy is very steep! I play similar games that use half that and give you more to start with. Some of the time challenges are somewhat unrealistic as you can't unlock the new areas in time as you keep running out of energy and new places unlocking chew up your time. Good but frustrating that scenes change a little.
I have a Samsung galaxy s6 edge plus and after I installed it it opens but freezes and doesn't load. Then it crashes. Please I had it on iPhone and would like to have it on my Samsung. Its one of my favorite games. PLEASE FIX IT!!!!
Once I understood this game, it was enjoyable and I was doing really well, but when my tablet died, unlike my other games, I was unable to link the new installation on my new tablet, to my existing game, forcing me to start again from the beginning, but, sorry, I'm not wanting to start over. All my other games I was able to pick up from where I left off, either through fb or Google, but not this one. Disappointing
This game has no rhyme or reason to it. Energy runs out before you have time to accomplish anything and even when you think you have accomplished something, what have you accomplished? I figured out the reason game was free. They made the game so you have to purchase rubies, energy etc.in order to make any progress. Im not that stupid. I wont be recommending this game. Beautiful graphics are wasted on this game.
I like the game of what I have been able to play. The game crashes each time I change to a different area or district and then you can not get back to where you were and you start on something else. Like I said, I think I might like the game if it would not crash all the time. I play much more complicated larger games than this so its not my android. Please fix the issues.
Its a good game but the app is very buggy. And crashes frequently. Many a times it doesn't open in new WiFi locations. Also, it's extremely slow....! It gets very annoying to wait....
This is one of the best hidden object games and I am simply addicted to it. I really faced big problems in the game and contacted their help support center and these people are very helpful. They solved all my problems. Thanks for making such a good game. My request is please fix your lighthouse location
Help/instruction/faq would be nice. I have no idea how to increase each buildings level. I know I have to pay for it but when does the option become available? Also being able to play offline would be a great asset
I want to like this app because it looks like a fun game. However, this game takes forever to load. Even right after I've restarted my tablet it times out in the load screen. Sometimes I have to attempt opening this game multiple time just to have it crash in game. The only reason I took the time to rate this was to stop the dialogue box from popping up so I could try to play this game for more than a few minutes at a time.
After I updated my locations I am stuck with lots of old items that I can't trade anymore. That is just stupid. ALL relics should be tradeable, old and newly upgraded.
I downloaded this game today and inspite of connecting my phone with wifi and all other apps working, this app was saying could not connect to server. You must have Internet to play
I like the game, but more often than not it freezes when it starts loading. I'm deleting the game because I have to remove my battery when it freezes. It doesn't just stop loading it locks up everything.
Great game concept but gets boring when you have to wait for energy and for buildings to unlock or have to pay real money to hurry things along. Things like shovels don't drop often enough so you can't go to the dig site to find the things you need and certain areas can't be accessed workout jems and these come from dig sites! Hence frustrating viscous circle!
This game is awesome, although it boots you out a lot and is very slow. I have spent tones of money on this game I feel it's worth every penny. I still think the few bugs can be worked out. Plz fix
I love hidden object games. I've only just begun playing this one and haven't had any issues. Will comment later but would recommend others give it a try too.
This can be a good game, but, we need more energy and playing time from the beginning. Waiting for the game to download, then only getting to play for about 10 minutes is kind of a ripoff! Will play for a bit longer, then decide to either keep playing or ditch it.
There's a strategy to get the most out of your playing time. You just need to figure it out. ***1 June update*** The app doesn't even load after my Tab 4 updated a week ago. I just get the Pocket Gems screen and that's it.
Takes to long to power up, and 4 times a time is not enough for what u need to get through the game. and unless ur willing to spend money it takes to long to get rubies especially when u have to have so many to open up a region. And dont get me started with the dig sights. Would be a great game if it you would of thought through it.
The primary purpose of the game is clearly to get the player to pay the devs as much real money as possible, in order to progress properly. If you refuse to do so, expect to play four HOG scenes at a time, and spend hours waiting for each advancement in gameplay. The graphics are top-notch, though, and the scenes get progressively trickier as you go.
Gr8 game I just don't like playing for 2 minutes n waiting for more energy or having to be prompted to buy gems for every Lil thing...destroys the fun of it...
I started playing this game on my phone, then downloaded on my tablet, but it hasn't linked together? I have to start all over again. Also there is no way other than buying to get more rubys and you need more than you can earn in the game. I'm at a stale point at the moment searching and selling, unable to progress until I get a lot more.
I like the game, but the energy gets used up way to fast!! Give more energy plz!! People who enjoy this game will pay the in-app purchases if the energy is reasonable
You have to pay to unlock new sites then wait 2 hours to explore it. To much "story" not enough search and find. Then they want you to repair random crap for an insane amount of rubies that literally takes days to earn because of the time you waste before being able to do anything.
Game is really nice and I really like it but loads of time I need keep restarting because freezed (you can hear music but you can't play) and it drives mad when you're looking objects in scenes because time is running. S6 edge

The search areas are ok up to lvl 3. But it's very difficult to get jems. And it takes a huge amount for unlocking areas needed for missions, so it's kinda obvious they're really trying to make players buy jems. Plus it needs to refill energy when you reach a new level. Also, it crashes a lot and takes ages to load.
