Pearl's Peril - Hidden Objects Reviews

It’s a very fun game. Based on that alone I would give 5 stars. However, started playing this game when I was sick as something to do and for anxiety. I noticed when looking for objects, at times they just weren’t there, until you click on the help button. I took a screen shot and sure enough object was not there, then I hit the hint button and all of the sudden it appeared. It’s a lot of fun, but if you don’t spend money, you can’t play. 1 energy every 20 minutes. At least give enough energy to clear a scene. It’s easy to get wrapped in and just hitting a button to buy the daily deal or cash, but it adds up. Over 6 months, its embarrassing to see how much I spent on this game. If you have anxiety, you could buy a low end treadmill that still gets the jog done, or join a luxury gym and pay in full the first year, or ( if you are into gaming) you could buy the newest xbox or ps for the amount of money spent over the course of a 4-6 months. I don’t like video games, I did like PearlsPeril, but felt cheated a lot. When I bought a pack of 30 energy, I found that that I had to use more energy to play the game. So now I am back to running and feeling good. If you love it and don’t mind spending the money or mind you are being taken advantage of at times, then it’s for you. Personally, I flushed hundreds of dollars over the past 6 months. Approaching a thousand. I deleted PearlsPeril just consider that money wasted “stupid tax”.

Often have problem with tech support that when I write in a problem I often feel they don’t read it, just give a knee jerk response based on key phrases in what I’ve sent. I’ve actually said please have a human read this. Or they’ll ask for information I’ve already given to which I respond read my original question. Frustrating. Sometimes I have to go through 2-3 rounds before they get what I need.
Also, it’s inconsistent between devices. They have a new feature called daily deals. I get it on my iPhone but people I know who play on a Note 8, laptop, or iPad don’t get the deal.
I’ve complained about this before but during quests I’d like to see them drop Captains Challenge in the tasks. Keep it for the regular game. I find it very frustrating because the CC doesn’t move you through the game and you get tickets MUCH less frequently than energy and I’ve “wasted” up to 30+ tickets after getting into first place. And often CC tasks come one after another. I save my refresh every day in case I get the 20,000,000 point one in the 10 point task but I’ve gotten 6 in a short amount of time on the 1 point and the 3 point is just as bad.
Otherwise, it’s a great game. I love it and am on my third time through.

Although this game is fun the constant technical issues make it incredibly frustrating! Almost every time an offer for a video is made it shuts off and game must be restarted. It happens with the captain's challenge, the daily puzzles, the collections, the energy offers and the daily videos. If you use Fb friends get badgered do don't connect your fb friends. Too bad they can't get these tech problems under control. Should take some lessons from candy crush or toy blast. Their games take as long to load up but once in you're not kicked out over and over again.

I deleted PearlsPeril because of all the technical issues with it. Even though I was at level 52 it became very frustrating to play. 1 year later I load up PearlsPeril again to see if it had improved. Sadly some of the technical problems are still there. I am only at level 4 but frequently coins from buildings or prestige from purchases or upgrades do not get added to my score so new scenes cannot be opened. Also the game shuts off when watching a video for prizes. So I lowered my score and i might just delete once again.
Although I really only playing this game, it is quite bothersome when they game stalls. Also I think that if your score moves you I had from other players, you should get some bonus points

I like that this game can be played regardless if you have enough points/structures on your land, as compared to June’s journey. I like that there are alternate games to play as well - the butterflies and the tickets games. There are a variety of ways to earn prizes - earning butterflies, tickets, furniture and other items to build or upgrade properties, and to play the alternate games mentioned above. The energy to play the main game are ready to earn. It’s not too expensive to buy energy if you want but not required. The only thing I don’t really like is the story!!! How many times and ways can you follow the torn photograph??!!! After so long the story dwindles with motivation to keep reading it! Around level 30 I stopped reading the story! The property graphics are much less desirable as compared to June’s journey graphics. But since Pearl’s Peril is so much cheaper and easier to access without spending real money, I prefer playing it than June’s Journey! So there!

This would be a great game, but there are some issues. It will not let me log into Facebook. It keeps restarting the game every time I attempt to do that. I do not have any blocks set in Facebook and all my other games log into Facebook just fine. Also in the beginning of each scene the energy gives you a lot more advancement of points toward badges and then towards the end of that particular the points obtained per energy gives you very little points. It would be nicer if the points held equal value for obtaining badges the same throughout the scene. But each time you search in that particular scene the points represent less and less advancement toward obtaining a badge. I have not spent any money on this game nor do I intend to. I do agree with one review I read where the item is just not in the scene until you hit the hint button and then it shows up. I understand that apps are not perfect but it looks like these problems are problems that people complained about for a while. Not sure why they have not tried to address them. So if you don’t freak out too bad about issues in games this is a good game to play, but because of the issues I’m not going to give it a five star.

I have serious time in this game, I’m on level 36 and it has been one of my favorites. First, I’ve reached a point where all I can do is play levels and this has been for months and months now. I have enough badges to unlock multiple new areas but NEVER receive compasses. My areas are jam packed and the only thing progressing my prestige is the upgradable structures. When those are done, I am going to lose interest fast. I enjoy the decorating aspect of the game and don’t want to just sell everything that I already designed so I have more room. So frustrating! Second, I strongly suggest you change the new feature that automatically gives you hints to something you turn on like to easy mode and not something you have to turn off to get expert mode. This took away any challenge that the game provided and again if I didn’t have so much time in it, I probably would have quickly deleted as a stupid easy game. I only played 3 lives before I looked for a way to turn this off or I would have been done! I really enjoy this game and want to continue on if I can!

You make it impossible to beat this level the blue gems are spariling given, making it in possible to win, also on your sales of energy or money or tickets, I made a purchase’s (plural) for $ 1.99 or 2.99 and I was charged $5 and $6, It caused my account to be overdrawn. You need to be honest on what you are taking out , including Taxes, I had to get a new bank card, I purchase $1.99, $2.99 and $9.99, that $15., I had $20 in my bank account. But it wasn’t enough , $ 5 for taxes seems extreme. I will never make another purchase again. I don’t trust you. I enjoy the game, hopefully after playing Level 938, a 100 times by my own merit I might win , unless it has been done that way to force purchase of boosters , however the blue gems , no help to get more. That’s the way the level is set up, theirs no booster or even extra turns that can help, it is a developer flaw Cathy

I found this game after playing June’s Journey which I love. I was hoping they would be more similar, but this is still a great game. Definitely one of my favorite search games. I like the simple but entertaining story to carry you along. I also like that the objects do not move in each scene so it’s a fun test of memory. One issue (which I do not have with June’s) is that the objects are not always clear - either the drawing is poor, it is too tiny/blurred into the back ground, or there is more than one. I just played a scene that asked for book, but there were 2 books. So annoying! At least say blue book or something. I play on my phone so maybe the other things aren’t an issue on a larger screen. I also wish it was clearer when I’ve completed all badges in a scene. I have to back out to the scene list to see if I am done when it looks like I’m close. Give me a gold star or something to make it clear so I don’t keep spending energy unnecessarily.

I was superbly frustrated when I wrote my first review, I have been enjoying this game immensely and was incredibly angry when I was frozen out and forced to uninstall when I wouldn’t provide my Facebook access; however, honesty compels me to admit that I like the game well enough that I reinstalled PearlsPeril , starting over from the beginning, because I’m just having that much fun. At the moment I’m not able to play on my iPhone because it won’t load, but I’m working with their support team and am hopeful that I’ll be back and playing soon. Will update!

I’m NOT giving you access to my Facebook account, and you holding hostage my game and what I’ve achieved so far is NOT going to change that. Either release my game or I’m going on a campaign to educate EVERYONE how you’re manipulating us. Giving you Facebook access was NOT a condition to play.

I love this game. Simple as that! I have never been a game player until I found this one. I love the whole concept of the game. I love the story but most of all I love that I can play this game for cognitive therapy. I can loose myself in the game and am learning to not focus on my pain. My brain is focused on just the game. It’s also wonderful for the hand eye coordination. I know most people don’t care or have this issue but for anyone that does it’s been a wonderful discovery of a game I can actually play as well as enjoy while having a mini therapy session. Thank you P. P. For many wonderful hours together and for many many more in the future.

I’ve been playing this game for several years and am on my 3rd go round. I joined a group to have a little competition & some fun but the group I joined just threw me out, no explanation! I was criticized for not playing enough and getting as many points as the “leader” wanted. I sent a message telling whoever it was that I didn’t appreciate being criticized & spied on. I’m disabled and can’t play all the time. I explained that to this person. One lady apologized for not getting enough points & explained she was trying to play at least 3 times a day! Really? This is a GAME! I guess some people don’t have lives so they live on their computers playing games. I’m not one of them. There should be rules to this if there are going to be groups. People should act like adults, not children hellbent on just winning, winning, winning. You need to stop this childish behavior.

After recent update, I can't open the game on wi-fi. All other apps are opening perfectly, except this one. Any help, Wooga?

After recent update, I can't open the game on wi-fi. All other apps are opening perfectly, except this one. Any help, Wooga?

Update: Thank you for contacting me, Wooga. My app is now opening on wifi. I knew at the time that of course it wasn't just a problem with PearlsPeril , it was also a problem with my wifi was not at it's optimal strength. My frustration comes with how much it takes to open the dang game, especially when we're forced to play thru Facebook in order to not lose progress!!! I don't want my Facebook friends to be affected by a game I choose to play, so each and every time I open the game, I twice (for some reason) have to edit out that I don't want my friends list shared with Wooga. Having to do that, plus go thru all the loading the game needs, is just ridiculous. Please, please, stop forcing us to play through Facebook in order to save our progress. Please.

20 minutes per unit of energy is too long to wait when gameplay per energy is less than a minute! And then it only regenerates to 10 units!!! That comes out to only about 7 minutes of continuous gameplay! What makes this worse is that energy is needed to play scenes to therefore receive materials and coins to progress in the game. So the only way to advance at a rate any faster than a snail is to make in-app purchases. I would rather delete PearlsPeril than be subjected to this obvious ploy for money. I'd be more likely to make a purchase if I could actually play long enough to enjoy the game! It's such a shame that Wooga seems more interested in forcing players to spend money than simply creating games that we could enjoy and then gladly patronize with purchases. Their games could actually be great otherwise. Please decrease the time for energy to regenerate and increase the amount that can be regenerated!!!!

As a fan of Hidden Object games, I was immediately taken with Pearl’s Peril and its beautiful graphics. However, a new feature has been added which has considerably increased my frustration during play. Items in the scenes are already small, and finding some do require a closer look. This used to be accomplished by zooming in on your iPhone/Smart Phone. But the new feature eliminates your ability to zoom in and scroll without being charged a 5 second penalty. The screen goes grey and you have to wait until the 5 seconds are over before resuming play.

I reached out to the Wooga team regarding this added feature. Their response time was quick, within 24 hours (a plus) and very polite. Wooga’s explanation for this new penalty is that if you click on an area multiple times where there is no object needed, you will be penalized. I experimented with Wooga’s explanation by zooming in immediately at the beginning of a scene and scrolling to the left.

Here is what I discovered: Every time you touch the screen to scroll, it is counted as a “click”, and your chances of being penalized are multiplied.

I have an iPhone 8, use the brightest screen when playing, and have not had this unfortunate penalty on any other app. Therefore, when using a cell phone to play Pearl’s Peril, my suggestion is to have a magnifying glass handy! Since that is rather silly, I will sadly be deleting a game I used to enjoy.

I loved this game. I played for over a year, it was my stress relief at the end of the day. Downloaded it on my new phone, and so many issues. There’s no sound, It will freeze on the loading, it’s froze in the daily puzzle, slow to move around the island placing buildings. I tried to logically troubleshoot before reviewing. I have a MaxPro13, it’s not slow, plenty of storage, and I’m not bad with technology. Yes, I’ve checked my phones settings, yes, I’ve checked PearlsPeril settings, and yes I’ve checked for app updates. It’s PearlsPeril itself. PearlsPeril needs an update lol.

Yes, glitches happen, and it will freeze, but that’s not my main issue. The most annoying part for me is the lack of sound! I like hearing the background noises, and it’s just weird silent. I don’t even want to play it, and I don’t mind spending money on this game, I genuinely loved it, but I can’t play like this. Developers please lmk how to fix this glitch!

I am a huge fan of Pearl's Peril and have been playing it everyday for just over a year. I am so proud of how far I've gotten but am panicking now because after this last update, it will only let me connect through FB. This wouldn't so much he a problem if it was my FB account but somehow it is linking to my husband's FB account who doesn't play the game so it's making me start all over again!! This is extremely frustrating. I have tried everything I can think of to fix it and it still will not let me switch from his account to mine. (Which makes it even stranger is that I play it on MY iPhone so I can't figure out for the life of me why it's linking to my husband's FB acct.) Does anyone know how I can get my game back?? (My progress is still there if I sign on to my FB account via a computer...)

I love this type of games and I really like this game a lot and I used to play it years ago and I download it again a month ago. Please try to find a solution for the jamming because it keeps reloading and I keep losing energy. Make the game a little harder and raise the points so i can get more coins. There is not much things to buy to raise my pink flower so i can open more levels. Also i want to redecorate my town but every time I press something it open another thing and that make me mad. And why is the only way to get tickets is by buying them or wining the challenge i mean like i have 3 tickets and i have to play more than that to just get 5 tickets at the end and then there is more to play and i have so little 💔 please develop it more and more because I really like it and I don’t want to delete it.

I honestly can’t even believe that this game was updated 3 weeks ago; it feels like it hasn’t been updated in years. I downloaded it because I’m currently addicted to June’s Journey, and expected something similar. It’s similar in concept, but the mechanics just feel so clunky in comparison, and even the artstyle of the island feels more like something I would have played on my old itouch like 8yrs ago. Perhaps they are simply adding levels (easy to do, they’re basically just layered illustrations), but what they really need to do is update game mechanics & style.

June’s Journey is very smooth and intuitive; the game can tell when you’ve obviously found an object and maybe tapped a millimeter to the side, much like with autocorrect. In Pearl’s Peril, I can miss a tiny object THREE TIMES and get strikes counted against me for innaccuracy.

The energy/currency system in this game also seems slower & less lucrative already, which is unusual for the beginning of the game. They usually try harder to lure you in.

I really gave this game a solid chance but after about 30min I had to make the executive decision to uninstall it. I have a tendency to get addicted to these games and in this case I just knew the addiction wouldn’t be worth it. If I had played this game first, maybe it would be different, but it just feels like a major downgrade after June’s Journey.

I been playing this game for about three and a half years and really enjoy it but since the update on June 11th I can not even download the game to play it. If you have any suggestions on how to fix this problem please let me know. Also when I try to send anyone coins for thanking them for energy or ticket the game will not let me send them that started after another update. I tried getting in touch with support but they acted like they didn’t understand what I was talking about. I hope a person really reads this because I would like to continue playing this game. The bad thing about not being able to play is that I am the captain of the team so please tell me how to fix this.

I love playing this game but then the last three days have been a nightmare! Every time I tried to get on, it said There was an error or a problem with my device! I tried another device and it was the same thing...if it wasn’t either of those excuses, it said I needed the internet! I was on the Internet all along...but I went to setting to verify it! My husband was able to get on it as I’m sitting next to him pulling my hair out just trying to get on! He started having problems getting on yesterday afternoon!
It would be nice if the Game designers would just tell us the truth that there is a problem instead of driving us crazy with BS excuses & making it seem it’s us, our devices or our internet connectivity!

Giving a 5 star review. The reviews are brutal. Can not believe the things people wrote. Don’t like it, don’t play. No one is forcing you to play or spend money. I love PearlsPeril . Although, only several glitches and needs improvements in several pop up modules. Lost $10 play cash as the module asking to quit/play was accidentally tapped as I went to touch an object just to the corner of it. Took $10 of my play money. Also, as I was playing the seashell goal several objects touched stuck. One was stuck after using the magnifying tool. (Patch) wouldn’t lift from the chair. I have a liquid screen protector on my device, supposed to not cause issues and I do not think that is the issue. Just being glitchy. Love the game and when I really enjoy one I eventually do spend real money when excited enough. Did not see an update in the store. Still sticking -eeer! I’m number one and beat all the characters. I would like to see my score continue to increase. Apparently I get no more points after reaching number one spot. That’s not cool! Because if I decided to connect with a group or FB...I might have to search faster! 😱Thank you.

I played one game of pearls peril all the way through form bugging to end a few years ago. It was quite a challenge and very entertaining. After I finished it, I missed playing it. So after a few month I downloaded it again. I’m enjoying the new storyline. Just as I had earned ah hour of free play, PearlsPeril crashed and I haven’t been able to open it up again. It’s extremely frustrating! I had to download a bran new game; starting from the beginning. I haven’t deleted the first game because I’m always hoping it will open one day. It’s very addictive. Well done guys!. Is there a way to reopen or re-download a crashed game?
