That being said I have been playing this game twice a day for about 16 months now so that should tell that I like it. I play for free. As long as you have patience and can accept that you are unlikely to Win the avatar prizes and rarely win the desk decoration prizes you can play for free. I can’t say I would never spend a little money in a game, I just can’t afford to do it often or on repetitive there and gone type things. Which is pretty much what they sell. I do have a few frustration in the game however, and they are increasing. The rising energy usage as each location levels up means I’m less and less likely to win event prizes. Not getting to the end of the event means I don’t get to know the end of that little story, which I actually find more annoying than not winning the prize. The contests solely in treasure box and lantern locations I pretty much can’t even take part in anymore because, as usual, doing well was rewarded with increased difficulty until I can no longer pass the levels at all except by a fluke so as I want to play the monthly events I don’t want to waste my game energy in futile attempts in the treasure box and lantern. I generally assume that most of these things I am finding frustrating are designed to be there to part me from my money and I also generally assume that as a free player the fact that I am getting discouraged will be of little consequence. I guess I’m just cynical like that.

I downloaded Seekers Notes about a year ago for something new to play while being cooped up at home during the height of the pandemic. I immediately became addicted. Over time, features have changed as the developers I’m sure are finding new and interesting ways to keep the game fresh and new for those who have been playing for a long time. I never spend any money on the game and I will say that the constant advertisements that pop up about the deals being offered that day are annoying. I will log on to collect my prizes for the day and I have to wait until all the ads are done popping up. Additionally, you used to have the option to watch and ad to gain double rewards, to avoid using access passes, etc, however, now after completing certain levels, those ads are playing without your consent and you do not gain any rewards from watching other than time taken away from your game. With that being said, the customer service team for the game is amazing! As with all apps, the game can be glitchy. When I reach out because something isn’t working, I get a response and a resolution within a very reasonable period of time. To me, that makes all the difference. I also suggested something with regards to the way a certain feature worked after new updates of the game come out and whether it was just me or others complained also, my feedback was taken into account and the issue resolved with this latest update! That really made me feel like I had a voice!

This is probably the best “find the objects” game out there as of right now. So far after 2-3 months of playing I haven’t encountered a single ad. The only time there are ads is if you want too play one too get free games or skip having too gather resources to play a level, which is all completely optional. If there was a downside, it would be energy and the amount of offers it shows when you play. Ill start with energy; it’s not really an issue when you’ve just started because the levels cost less and you get a fair amount of energy restock items that help you fill an empty energy bar, but when it you play for a while and you start too level up more the levels start too increase in energy cost and become increasingly more difficult, too the point where failing a level takes a toll on your limited energy bar, and you don’t get as many energy restock items as you go on. Now onto my final “downside” which is the pop up offers. It’s not really anything too serious and is honestly not that bad, but when you get the same gem bundle offer every 1-2 levels completions/failures it can get a little annoying. But everything else about this game completely outweighs it’s “downsides” (which by the way don’t really affect gameplay all that much) so in my opinion this game is THE best find the object style game on the market right now. I hope if you download this you get as much enjoyment as I do when playing 😁.
