Detective Quest: The Crystal Slipper HD - A Hidden Object Adventure

My review is long but detailed and worth reading: Promise! ?? ? I've played close to 400 games on my IPad, mostly adventure/mystery HO puzzles. Unfortunately, there are only a small amount of truly ?stellar games, the ones that grab you from the start, that are so much ?fun, exciting ? and challenging? ...so you want to deliberately slow ? down to make them last. This is one. ?? What they have in common: Great story line throughout, crisp, colorful ? graphics and animation, clear sound ? with music ? that you actually??like: similar to a ?movie, with creative full relatable, interesting characters and so many different scenes and places: realistic, fantastic and futuristic? with so many ? areas ⛲️travels ✈️ structures ? and various places, that it pulls you into the game. Plenty of challenging and thought provoking puzzles, along with super creative HO or PO (pairing/placing objects) scenes that have ?new twists. The puzzles and PO scenes intertwined are the best. ? This game runs the gamut: from mid evil castles ? surrounded by snow, shipwrecked pirate ⚓️ ships, European ? Royal Estates, gold, gems ?and hidden treasures, ? country cottages, ??forests, dark hidden caves with ? skeletons, vast lakes, green rolling meadows, ? dragon slaying, twisting dark paths....it's with such superb attention to detail that you enjoy just visiting for eye candy. ?? This game is peppered with almost the right amount of fantastic PO scenes and puzzles, but still I'd like more. The ones that you have to shuffle with one square missing and ones that you click on which move other pieces are SO boring! Please stop putting those in. That being said: ? I ❤️LOVE ❤️LOVE ❤️LOVE❗️? The super fun and 'interactive' PO scenes!! ? They aren't readily found (? hate the sparkles) and it's SO fun to watch the interaction. Lighting and watching firecrackers ? go off, bringing something to "life" whether it's a toy, doll, plant, ? animal, ? robot? or just setting of a chain reaction.? Each one is unique, interesting and fun ....I always find myself smiling.? (lol) Plus, many are really challenging (some are either extremely hard or don't make sense, but it only adds to the challenge) and takes some time, so it's like a game within a game. (which we avid players deserve paying these outrageous game ? prices! $6.99?! $5.00 max. But at least when they're great it doesn't make me wince -as much- when paying ??) We just need more top notch games! like these: They must be :unique, fun, challenging, exciting and require a decent amount of thought, time and effort. They make you invest your emotions, so you smile, laugh, gasp and at times, even talk back or yell at the characters. In a world that's much too serious these games are sorely needed! Thanks to Big Fish, Elephant Games (love the opening theme music!) Detention Apps LLC, Absolutist Ltd, Alawar Entertainment, Ear Games and Apple. ? Thanks for the great work! Keep it up! ? ??

Great amazing!!

A couple of things freeze

Really enjoy this challenging game. Helps to have a good memory.

I really liked this game! It has the perfect blend of adventure, story, and HOS. I LOVE that the HOS are not the usual kind. In this game you place items into the scene, using logic to determine where they go. I am not a lover of the straight up ho games, I think they get incredibly boring. This is the first game where I actually wished there were MORE HOS! I liked all the different creatures, too. And the game is quite long. I played on the master level, so no hints, but I did use the strategy guide a few times. And the bonus game is longer than many complete games I have played! The only thing I found annoying was that when you would try to bring up your inventory, sometimes you would miss and go back, bc the inventory tab is small. Also, inventory items weren't labeled, but I didn't find that to be a problem at all. Oh, and you need to take photos of every creature you encounter. Well, I guess you don't have to, bc you don't need them for game play, but it's nice to collect them. I didn't realize this until the end, so I will be playing this game again sometime ;)
