8 of 25All I can say is that these are the best iPad games I've ever played. I play them over and over, because even once you know the story, you can try to solve the puzzles, find all the ravens and clovers, etc. So very worth the money, and I would like to encourage Mumbo Jumbo to create more games like this!!! This kind of quality is a rare thing - great graphics, smooth interfacing, non-violent and completely engaging. Please please please make more!
This is the best mystery game I have ver played but WHY DID YOU TAKE IT OFF THE APPSTORE?.?? PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PUT IT BACK ON
I'm an avid Big Fish game player, but wanted to try something new. I was not disappointed at all. Wonderful graphics, great story, fun mini games and varying HO scenes. Well worth the money, and I will certainly be looking for more Mumbo Jumbo in the future!
I’ve purchased several of these games and now none of them work with the current version of iOS because they need to be updated by the developer. These games are really fun but a waste of money if you can’t play them. I will update my rating to five stars if I can play the games I paid for since I really enjoy them.
Enjoyable game with an interesting historical component. It has a nice balance of story, HOG, puzzles, and analytical work. Didn't need to purchase any extras. There's an online walk through you can find. Got stuck twice and needed it, only, then. After the game is over there are HOG components still accessible.
Loved the game. Some tasks a little confusing due to order of scene. A lot of historical facts threaded in storyline. I have lived in Salem, Mass. twice. Tons of witch and East India Trading history to see and do!
Will not work with iOS 15.
Mumbo Jumbo does with perfection what other game creators do with mediocrity. Their concept and game design is spectacular! The text/dialog is intelligent and artfully crafted. Their stories are an exquisite work of historical fiction beautifully woven together from threads of historical fact and related classic literature. The way the literary biographies entwine with the lives of their character counterparts is nothing short of genius! The gameplay is second to none. The graphics are beyond breathtaking and, along with the music, integrate seamlessly with the story. But it is the sheer artistry of the storyline itself that makes this the MOST EXCITING, MAGICAL game experience I have ever encountered. I would give this game TEN stars out of five, were it possible to do so. Mumbo Jumbo: PLEASE, PLEASE keep 'em coming! Each game is a unique and elegant work of art, and unfortunately, they have elevated my standards to the degree that I find similar games from other developers to be greatly lacking by comparison. Is Edgar Allen Poe a possible contender for one of the literary authors? I know there was casual reference made to him in the first game. With the utmost respect, Logic Lunatic
