Mystery Case Files: Key To Ravenhearst - A Mystery Hidden Object Game Wiki

I was VERY pleasantly surprised by this game. Even in casual mode, the games were very challenging and EXTREMELY creative. It is clear that Eipix designers really worked hard to go beyond the usual types of puzzles and HOGs. Story was good, though I didn't remember much detail from the previous Ravenhearst game. Very creative interfaces. Loved looking for Harbingers, loved that I could go back & find the ones I missed. Loved that inventory told me what an item is when I found it or if I touched it to remind me. Loved the map. This is my idea of a PERFECT mystery adventure game! Thank you Eipix!

Seriously - the Mystery Case Files, Ravenhearst and Dire Grove series of games were some of the very best Big Fish games that I’ve played. Lately I’ve played way too many mediocre, trite and so-so games just to have something to do to pass the time during this COVID-19 shelter-in-place period so I’ve gone back to replaying the Ravenhearst games again. I wish they were all this good.

The games were fun, challenging and unique. There were a few moments that got to me and put me on the edge of my seat. The bonus game was even better than the main game. I've just finished and now I can replay the puzzles. I'd highly recommend this as maybe the best Ravenhearst I've played so far!!

I like big fish games because the stories and hidden object scenes are consistently pretty good, but for me, the mini-games are usually lacking a little bit (either way too easy or very tedious). This game had great mini-games, which tipped it over to a well-deserved 5 star rating from me. Very fun to play!

I've started and deleted many games, but the Ravenswood are consistently far better: the game play is smoother, the narrative stronger and the in sync with game play, the puzzles are clever, all around a much more fun experience than other games. Strong recommendation! :)

I have been a customer of Big Fish for MANY years.. I have been a customer for years cuz they never disappoint! The graphics, brain twisters, and overall gaming experience is ALWAYS over and above any other games!

I'm an unabashed fan of these HO/Puzzle/Adventure games, and I have to confess I'm not all that picky. But I really like this one. Lots of puzzles, good hints, good story line. I never feel like the graphics are the best in these, but this one is better than most.

I love the Ravenhearst series. I have played all the games. Incredible the flexibility of the manor, the light house, etc can be reused so creatively. I find the stories gruesome but I keep coming back. Weird.

Ravenhearst was the first hidden object game I ever played, and I adored it. The second one was better in most ways and I still play it occasionally ( good memory workout ). The third was a disappointment, changed the mechanics of the game; I never played past the trial. This one looks great and and has many references to the first two, and I enjoyed it very much. However, the story runs rough shod over the plot of the second one. Those girls are dead; the detective saw their ghosts. And yet the game blithely has the detective swallowing the idea that they grew up and were Charles' kids. Even if what I imagine happened did happen the detective shouldn't be believing it for a second. I really wish the devs had more respect for the story.

I was first introduced to MCF and Ravenherst with the very first game on the PC. And I’ve loved it ever since. So when I found this one I was excited! I paid the $7 thinking that I would have weeks of puzzles and HOG to do, just like the PC game I had years ago. This game literally took me 8 hours to play all the way through. I was really bummed. The graphics and the storyline are all great. I just don’t think it was worth $6.99 for that short of a story.

The graphics are rich and the game makes you dig deeper than most for the right pieces. Challenges on multiple fronts keep you guessing. I like that you have to run backwards between rooms to solve things. I purchased the game and like that I can replay puzzles and HOs directly in Extras. I agree story was weak or I'd give 5.

Giving this new addition to the franchise 2 stars is an act of mercy, due to the sheer fact that the story in this game is FULL of major plot holes! Make that plot CHASMS instead! SPOILER ALERT: Anyone who played the second and third Ravenhearst games knows that the twin girls, Gwendolyn and Charlotte, were KIDNAPPED from the SOMERSET family. They were NOT conceived by nor born to Charles Dalimar!!! Yes, they were unrealistically brought back to life in physical bodies in the third game, but that does NOT make them Charles' daughters by ANY stretch of the imagination!!! Also, why would they grow up to be evil and support the murderous purposes of the same man who was responsible for kidnapping and holding them hostage underground for who knows how long??? It simply doesn't make any sense to have this game claim to follow the plot of the original story. Regardless, the artwork, music, and gameplay was enjoyable as always.

I love mystery cases files games; however, this game is killing my patient. I have an iPhone 7 and the touchscreen of some elements are horrible. Some elements do not respond and some hits boxes are misaligned from the element. But the main reason why Im leaving this review is because the carousel puzzle. In the game there is one part where you are in a room and you will find a curtain that you need to insert a ticket and after that the puzzle reveals. I found all the carousel missing piece and put all of them in the right order but the game does not do anything (how do I know this), after 45 mins thinking if my combination was wrong (which wasn’t) I googled for the right combination just to make sure that I was wrong, but not, I wasn’t wrong. My combination was right since the first try, and the game does not do anything.

Big Fish at it again. I already purchased this game! But since it was re-released on sale it says I have not. I have the same game opened in the other app which allows me to play through since I PURCHASED IT! Make sure you search for the game in the App Store and go to the other version you already downloaded before getting sucked in to their tricks. Keep a list of games you already purchase or you’ll be wasting money! Shame on you BF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
