Price: Free

Forgotten Riddles: The Moonlight Sonatas by Big Fish Games, Inc. is a story game with a riddle that you must solve.

Forgotten Riddles: The Moonlight Sonatas is a tale of tragic romance and you are the only one who can solve the riddles and find out how it all ends. Using the journal of Francis von Amadeus find the clues to help you on your adventure through the Moonlight Opera House.

Hunt through each scene in the game to find the clues that unlock the mysteries and allow you to progress forward. The difficulty of the puzzles increases as you progress. It does take a fair bit of poking around in some scenes to figure out just what you are supposed to do.

The graphics are well done and look brilliant on the large iPad screen. The thoughtfulness that went into some of the puzzles is apparent and the riddles are often very clever. For the type of person who likes games that challenge the mind this is a great one to try.

This app was released as Version 1.0.1 on February 13, 2013. There are currently 28 ratings for the app with an average score of 2.5 out of five stars.

The concept of the game is interesting and well presented. I did enjoy taking the time to decipher the riddles and find the associated objects. As I progressed and opened up the game the riddles became more and more interesting but I found that the game ended a bit prematurely. Just as I was getting into it I suddenly found myself at the end of the last chapter.
