Ms. Holmes 3: The Adventure

Not worth the $7. A lot of the puzzles have bugs. I’m only 5 mins in and already 2 puzzles didn’t work.. Wish I could get a refund.

Puzzles were fine. The story didn’t make sense. Like it was rushed through and left out important pieces.

I was enjoying the game at first, there were some nice features and games that had at least a bit of imagination — but after the unlock feature, it just seemed as if the game got sloppier and sloppier and more and more mundane. Maps didn’t work, locations would bounce, game item inventory was missing, touch was off. And then of course there were the mundane things: the boat with the repair kit, the ladder that needs boards and nails, the key that needs to be made from metal that melts easily. It felt like this game was rushed out the door, and when you’re asking $7 for a very short game, there really needs to be a level of finish and uniqueness that just wasn’t present in this. I was quite disappointed and probably won’t be in a hurry to buy another elephant game anytime soon.

The story line was pretty lame, and because the app didn’t function well, sometimes the text would jump and there was no way to go back. Plus, when you finish the game there is no way to go back to see achievements or challenges so you never know how you did. Took maybe 3 hours to finish, so not much value for the $$. Hopefully some others might be more challenging, this one wasn’t.

Truthfully I found this game somewhat dull. Most of the HO scenes were word lists, there weren’t enough puzzles, and mostly all of them were rotational, and the storyline was convoluted. At the end of the main game, the map did not function properly. The general gameplay was enjoyable though, and there were a few mini-games that I enjoyed, such as the world map, the formulation of a pain tablet, the color mixture game and the shooting game. At least the game wasn’t overly brief. This is my least favorite series. The strange thing is, as I was playing I kept thinking about how wonderful it would be to receive a new Detectives United. Well, my thoughts manifested themselves and there it appeared on the App Store today! Thank you, Elephant! Someone must be a mind reader (such as Rick Rogers, from Paranormal Files, lol.) Maybe we can get a new Haunted Hotel soon? Happy gaming, everybody. Note to all gamers: We will have a new release from Friendly Fox in 2-4 weeks, and it will be a new installment of Bridge to Another World. I wanted you all to have a great game to await as many of you were disappointed with the remaster. Please see my review for an explanation.

Elephant games are typically well made. On this one the map stopped working and some puzzles didn’t show what you should look for, so you just had to keep tapping on items. This also may have been the briefest game I’ve played in a long time. The story was jumbled and confusing in both the main game and the bonus chapter.

Edited: purchase finally worked…game was great. I am loving this game, but can’t purchase. It just stalls and then tells me in app purchase failed. Maybe there’s a fix for this coming?

So thankful for a new game. I loved this one. Had fun playing plus love Ms Holmes. Thank you.

Another great game! Thank you so much! :)

Thank you Elephant for making this game available for purchase. I love this series and the dialogue is great. I hope that you continue to offer us these games to us to purchase and not just coins or energy. Thanks again looking forward to the next great game.👻
