The gameplay is generally enjoyable, featuring a mix of hidden object puzzles and casual challenges, but is hampered by an energy mechanic that limits playtime and can lead to frustration due to long wait times for energy replenishment.

Despite these drawbacks, the game offers a decent amount of fun for those willing to engage with its mechanics in short bursts.
- “Relaxing gameplay with fun challenges.”
- “Great hidden object and quest game to pass the time, has a lovely colorful map and detailed locations with some challenging tasks, has some interesting in-game mechanics.”

- “The gameplay is generally okay, but the rate at which energy restores doesn't align well with the amount of energy it takes to do tasks.”
- “There is so much grind to pad out the very repetitive gameplay that you can't bring yourself to overlook the more minor flaws like constantly having to shoo away pop-up ads or the deafening voice-over on every start-up that can't be skipped completely.”
- “The main 'difficulty' (mostly annoyance) is that you have the energy scale which slows down your gameplay drastically.”

Overall, the monetization strategy is seen as intrusive and frustrating, impacting the enjoyment of the game.
- “Interesting and challenging idle play game without being too pushy on the in-app purchases.”
- “Fun hidden object game with the option for in-game purchases which aren't necessary to make good progress if you're playing for a bit a few times each day but can make progress much simpler if you so choose.”
- “Microtransactions aside, it is a new take on the hidden item genre that I rather like.”
- “Yeah, I dislike games like this that bait you into trying it only to shove in-game purchases in your face. No thanks.”

The reviews indicate that the game features significant grinding elements, particularly after reaching level 21, which many players find tedious and repetitive.

Overall, the grinding aspect is a mixed bag, with some players enjoying the challenge while others find it frustrating and overly time-consuming.
- “If you understand the basics of the game, including leveling up locations (they will give one additional drop per level, up to +5 from the basic 1... at least that's my guess for now), you'll find it's not that grindy of a game.”
- “Edit from later: I can no longer even suggest recommending this game, because, starting about level 21, the game turns entirely to grinding.”
- “The game is a grindy waiting game cash grab that doesn't deserve your time or money.”
- “Especially without doing that, there is a lot of repetitive grinding required to level up, where you're looking at the same scenes for the same items dozens of times.”

- “Wish the energy wasn't an issue... I mean I get it... they have to make money somehow, but I honestly think this would be a good game to just pay once for and have it all... it's graphically fantastic and it has a funny fantasy-based story... all around good game really for a puzzle/hidden object game.”
