Return to Grisly Manor

I have very fond memories of playing the original as a kid. This game stayed very true to its predecessor which made for an awesome nostalgic experience!

I like the games by this developer. The challenge provided is not terribly hard but just enough that I am motivated to reach the end. The artwork is beautiful. The music adds to the enjoyment. One thing I like about these games is the built in hint system. They are free, but are on a timer so you can’t buzz right through them. And you wouldn’t want to! Half the fun is figuring it out yourself. But if you are truly stumped, you can ask for a hint. I started with Grisly Manor, which was a little short but still a lot of fun. After I completed the game, I sat with my granddaughter while she played and that was fun for both of us. The sequel, Grisly Manor 2, was much longer and even more enjoyable, with a great ending. My most recent game was Lost City. While scenes are beautiful it seemed a bit too long with more back tracking than I cared for. The last half of the game I used more hints just to get through it faster. It would be nice if you could click on the map to get to the room you want to go to. For example, once you figure out what season you need to be in, it gets tedious to get to the room where you can adjust the season, and then continue on. Nevertheless, the Lost City provided much enjoyment, broken into three or four days as I had time to work with it. Because I’m of the age of being forgetful, a year from now I’ll be able to play these games again and they will still be fun. Thank you, Fire Maple, for making good “clean” games that are appropriate for any age player. I look forward to buying the next game.

Hi this will be a little bit longer but I love these games I played all of them except for two.

Fire maple games have always been my favorite. I’ve played all of these throughout my life and they always brought me joy. I highly recommend getting this app because it’s truly interesting, fun, and worth your time. Grisly Manor is the OG so you should definitely play this, but if you enjoy this I 100% suggest you check out the other fire maple games such as Return to Grisly Manor, Lost City, Thickety Creek, Curse of the Cobra, Hidden World, etc. All super fun and mysterious. In my opinion, these apps are one of the best on App Store and are extremely enjoyable. Thanks for servicing these brilliant games to us, and if you are not the company thank you very much for reading my review. Ava Chamberlain

Finally! The length and complexity of a point and click adventure game that Fire Maple fans have been waiting for is here. Developers would do well by Syntaxity’s example and create add-ons to the shorter games to bring them up to the length and complexity of GM2.

I love the fire maple games but this one has a glitch and I can not get to the box on the table so a few minutes into the game I am stuck and unable to complete it

Loved the game, the house and Grandpa. It was refreshing not to have blood and demons in the game. Play was medium difficulty, most puzzles easy to figure out but the locked or hidden objects took quite a bit of thought to find. I hope there will be more Grisly adventures! Here’s my nitpick. Every time I had to flip to another app I had to wait through the introduction. That was frustrating, especially if I swiped up by accident.

This game is beautiful, challenging, and fun. I’m so grateful for Fire Maple Games as they relax me and provide a welcome respite from stress. So creative and well thought out. This one was especially good. Just when you think you’ve finished, there’s more.

Back in the early 2010s, my mom bought The Secret of Grisly Manor on our family iPad and it was probably our favorite game to play! We replayed it at least 5 times. A few years later we found out about the second one, and I’m sure we’ve replayed it at least 5 times as well. We lost the original account but I decided to re-buy the games just for the nostalgia. Just as fun as a decade ago! The attention to detail in this series is amazing, such as during the time travel sequence when the year always matches the current one. I’d recommend this game (and the original) to anyone of any age.

I really had my doubts about this game, but to my surprise I love it. It’s actually one of the best games that I have played in a long time, and I would recommend it to anyone.
