Our story follows the adventures of three children who, while all misfits, each have special talents. Talents they can’t quite control yet…

* Oliver is an orphan who loves to draw
* Celia is a confident and gifted writer
* Eugene is a sci-fi nerd who loves making gadgets

The children win a trip to Weirdwood Manor to meet their reclusive hero — the eccentric writer and inventor, Arthur Weirdwood. Naturally, there’s also a robot butler, a ghost boy who haunts the Manor, and a librarian with more than a couple secrets of her own to hide.

Full of mystery and adventure, our story aims to inspire children to celebrate their uniqueness, recognize their talents, and embrace their imagination.

“The Incredible Tales of Weirdwood Manor” was born out of 5 complementary objectives:

* Tell a great story
* Foster a love of reading
* Promote playful interaction
* Challenge the mind
* Inspire creativity

But most of all, we wanted to bring ‘play’ to storytelling.

We love this game! But....

I’ve had this app for several years and thoroughly enjoyed everything about it. The artwork is especially pleasing and the hidden objects and puzzles add a great element to the story. I very seldom buy a game or in app purchases and kept putting off the inevitable purchase of the remaining books. I played thru the first two books a couple of times and each time decided I liked it enough to break my rule. But It wasn’t until my 5 yr old granddaughter got interested enough to actually play the game and needed my help that I finally bought the remaining 4 books. She is so excited, as am I, that we can continue this adventure!

Imagine my frustration as she skipped happily away to her Princess Tent to open book 3, and I picked up my iPad to start over from the beginning and play clear through the whole series, only to find that my purchase of the last 4 books is not recognized!! What’s up with that?? I can’t find a place to tell the app that I already purchased them! What kind of a rip off is happening here?

Developer Response ,

Hi there, glad to hear you and your granddaughter are such big fans! Please send an email to help@weirdwood.com and we’ll help you restore your purchase of the other four books.

Can’t wait for more!!!

It feels like the story’s just starting at book 6!!!

I’ve had this app for a while with the intention of buying all the books but when I got back on it a couple days ago, I learned that all books are now free!!!
I loved the story and characters.
The world feels so real and it’s not stagnant.
It’s absolutely amazing and for someone who loves fantasy, it’s amazing and I can’t wait for more.

Also who ever did the art and design of this game is amazing.
I’m finding loads of inspiration from just looking at it.

The story is absolutely amazing and I found myself almost unable to turn away till it was over.
The story may have a simple basis but with the world it’s set in and the characters reaction to it all, it makes it feel like that’s not true.
The characters and world are so complex that it more than makes up for the simple story line.
Absolutely amazing.

The voice acting is also amazing.
A little different from what I expected at first but it warmed up to me.

I also love that you can find things along the way and find out more about the world as you go through it.
It feels so real I pretty much forgot time existed until I look up.

Over all if I could give this game more than 5 stars I would.
Definitely worth it.
