The Secret Society: Mystery Software

I played this game diligently for more than a year until my iPad could no longer handle the upgrades and even entering the game was so slow it was at first torturous and then impossible so I deleted the game from my device. Recently I replaced my iPad and decided to try again. It has been like finding a former friend while being older and wiser. I have started from scratch but many scenes are familiar. Some older scenes have been updated, so they aren’t exactly the same but are still a challenge. I’m taking the collections less seriously and looking to complete the ones that will give me the reward I want then saving the versatile collection items for the more obscure collections. I miss the way friends were added in the past, but I am adjusting. I don’t necessarily want to befriend everyone in every G5 game which seems to be encouraged in this newer version. I don’t mind the ads, they are briefer than in some other games these days. The scenes are beautifully rendered and that is what I enjoy the most. All in all I’m glad I decided to give this game another chance.

Having played several hidden object games -including others by G5- this is by far the best. It’s hard enough to be challenging yet easy enough to not dissuade you from wanting to play. The game is also doable without having to buy in-app purchases. Something unlike others I tried. If you want to speed along faster, the option of in-app purchases is there. It’s not hard to do without, though. I personally never had to spend and I’m still singing their praises. They have monthly events to acquire totems, rare items and such which are easy enough that anyone can do them but again, challenging enough to keep your interest and still be a “challenge”. Adding other players in-game to ask for assistance is key. It will help you a LOT. Quests are always flowing which helps keep your interest and make you feel accomplished upon completion. I play another G5 hidden object game that differs a lot from this game in every way that I mentioned. I wish it was more like this one. This game is one of my favorites which allures me into playing every day.

I have been playing this game for several years now and I enjoy it. A couple of complaints though. When I first started playing every once in a while a crystal deal would pop up, 100 crystals for $1. That never happens anymore. Also I think it’s way to difficult to earn ladybugs, the arrow for tree of dates room etc and when there’s a new room, the new items to connect the prizes. I’ve been playing for over a week and have gotten very few pink bows and the other new ones. I don’t think that the push to force players to spend a ton of money is fair. I buy things every once in a while but without the $1 crystal deal and long droughts of acquiring ladybugs and other items you need to search a room is very frustrating. Also back a while when the time ran out for the new room goals the special item would turn into ladybugs etc. and it was in the 100’s for each. Like I said I don’t mind buying things but it seems now that it’s far to often and I’m getting very board. I do like the new rooms to get something new to do. Thank you, I hope you will consider my feed back and make some minor changes.
