The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it cute and fun, while others criticize it for being mechanically flawed and lacking depth. Many noted issues with hidden object visibility and repetitive elements, although the game offers a variety of locations and challenges. Overall, it seems to cater well to hidden object fans, providing several hours of gameplay, but may not satisfy those seeking more complex mechanics or engaging audio-visual experiences.
- “The graphics are not the very best but the gameplay is very cute and fun to play.”
- “Game is simple, and has a unique gameplay mode, recommended for hidden object fans.”
- “I estimate you will very likely get at least 4-5 hours of gameplay, quite possibly more if you're not aiming to get gold medals in all the levels and skipping everything, so I think the price is pretty acceptable.”
- “Also, while some of the hidden objects are properly hidden, there's quite a few, typically at least one per scene, that are just not visible even with the limited rotation mechanic, and which can only be found by either using a hint or getting lucky in mousing over the right area.”
- “I found the game rather lackluster both in gameplay, audiovisually, and in terms of tone and energy.”
- “Tldr: mechanically flawed 3D object routing aimed at young audiences.”

- “Beautifully done 3D style graphics, nice soothing music, funny storyline and good puzzler.”
- “The music is repetitive and I was bored after a while.”
- “Also expect to be bored by its short loop of uninspired music that repeats ad nauseam.”
