The story aspect of the game has been criticized for lacking depth and engagement, with users noting that it features no compelling narrative or unique themes. Many players expressed a preference for solitaire games that incorporate a map and allow for replaying levels, highlighting the absence of a story as a significant drawback. Additionally, the repetitive graphics and backgrounds detract from the overall experience.
“I prefer solitaire games with a map where you can stop anytime, go back and repeat a single hand/level to perfect my score. I especially like ones with cute stories, but these had no story.”
“Nothing special, no story, only straight card games.”
“The story follows no Grimm's tale that I have ever read, and the graphics are not only repetitive but often inappropriate, since the same backgrounds are used 3 or 4 times each.”

The gameplay features a classic +1/-1 solitaire format with two modes: one allows players to replay individual levels, while the other requires completing sets of 10 levels. Players must first engage with the newbie mode before unlocking the pro mode.
“The usual +1/-1 solitaire with two gameplay modes: one allows you to replay individual levels (my preference), while the other only lets you play through entire sets of 10 levels. You can only start pro mode after playing a bit on newbie.”
