These games are great! I do not like this version as much as others though. The puzzles can be difficult to see on a phone with no way to magnify and several puzzles in this version don't make sense even after seeing the hint walkthrough. This version is still fun but not as much as others they offer.

Issue: hints! too easy to accidentally use a hint, it needs a "use hint? yes/no" Not a huge issue in ANY previous versions. BUT is a big issue in this one because the removal of the ad pop-up & no more free hints auto added. Put the ad pop-up back on & add a confirmation pop-up for using hints. Then it would be PERFECT!

Absolutely zero direction on some puzzles which are NOT at all intuitive. I don't mind them being difficult to solve, but I'd like to at least know what I'm supposed to accomplish. And the number puzzles typically involve some type of wacko formula that a normal human couldn't possibly follow. Being challenging is one thing, but being completely obscure to the point of illogical is another.

I have played all the way through to 8 but I may stop. puzzles are not hard. but if you have never seen them or know info on what the developer knows they are impossible without hints that you can't get even if you spin the wheel by clicking on the hints you always get ads and no hints for watching. I am stuck. I have asked a number of friends to help and even watched walk through. I have wrote it on paper etc. I know the developer knows because others have said the same. it has potential.

Had fun with games 1-7. I think I'm pretty proficient since 7 games multiplied by 50 levels per game equals a lot of practice. Game 8 is weird. Like maybe a clue indicates the code should be BCE but the letters on the lock to choose from are M, W, and U. Or maybe the only way through a code is to try all the options via brute force. I had to actually resort to watching videos for at least 3 of the first 6 levels and even the person making cheat videos appears to struggle. Deleting this game. :-(

Good puzzles, but I have clicked on several areas that I had the right piece or sequence and nothing happened. After going in and out of the puzzle several times it eventually started to work. It gets frustrating when you don't know if you are right or wrong if the puzzle doesn't react properly. This needs to be fixed before this game is even worth playing! Even the hints are telling me that I am correct. Really annoying!

Just trying to get out of the app or getting too close to the hint button wastes your hint. I get that confirmation can be annoying but for this game its pretty devastating to accidentally use a hint and all it does is the bare minimum anyways unless you are on a puzzle. Also, sometimes the clues are way too vague and the puzzles impossible without a hint. We are trying to get through the rooms and have fun not get stuck in the same place for a week.

Some of the puzzles are really obscure and close to impossible to figure out. Just finished a level where I was expected to mimic the shape of a completely random object in the room to complete a puzzle. Never would have figured that out without a hint. Otherwise, gameplay is smooth and keeps me entertained.

I dont care for this version at all. The free hints spin doesnt work, just gives more ads with no reward. Also many of the answers to these puzzles makes no logical sense so I get stuck on some. Then I finally get a hint but it shows an answer with no logical way of getting to that answer. I like a challenge but at least make them make sense or it's no fun. You literally almost have to pay for ads to advance in this game. Uninstalling.

I would love your games if you gave more hints for free. If you got a free hint for beating a level or something like that. There are some of your puzzles that I have used hints on, and based on the explanation it gives to come up with the solution, I would never figure it out. Some of the solutions are impossible to figure out. And this review goes for all your apps. I have played a lot of them lol. Other than that, I do like the games and the puzzles.

I love this game....normally, the free hint spin rarely ever work only give ads. Some of these levels are WAY TOO HARD and even with youtube help i cannot figure level 24. Now trying to decide do i continue trying to do the puzzle or delete the game. Very frustrating especially since i am pretty good at figuring these puzzles out. I hope they do some stuff to make the super hard puzzle more passable.

So far this version has been a bit more frustrating. The rules for the games haven't always been clear. Even when I use a hint to get a code, the explanation has left me more baffled. Also when you correctly, solve a puzzle, the prize isn't always revealed in the same location as the game. I've solved a puzzle, then had to use a hint to figure out where the prize was to be claimed. Also, this version was more glitchy than previous ones.

This one has alot of good puzzles in it and the graphics are pretty good. it just lacks a few things. First of all some of the objects are hard to identify it should say what they are and the other issue is that some of the puzzles dont make sense at all or there aren't clear directions on how to play. it is no fun having to look up the walkthrough because you have no idea what to do.

I love this game! It challenges your mind in many different ways and is plain fun. Though there are some of the puzzles are almost impossible to do or they don't make any sense on how they got to the solution. I also wish that the game would give you free hints every 15min of game time. The "free" hints spinning wheel hardly ever lands on the free hints. I'm finding myself get super frustrated that I can't pass a level cuz I can't figure the puzzle.

Definitely the worst out of all 8. The others were challenging, but made sense. In this one, the puzzles just do not appear logical. I finally caved and used a hint on level 6, and even with the hint it made no sense and could not deduce how someone is supposed to arrive at that conclusion. Edit: hints do not replenish like they do in 1-7 and by the mid 30s some of the puzzles are just ridiculous. changed to 1 star. Amazing how EVERY single one of their games is 4.5 stars 🤔

So many things that are next to impossible to see. Lighting sucks makes it worst. Colors in the clue different from the puzzle. Patterns to small to see correctly. Spent forever trying too see what something was. Changed settings on the phone even. Don't waste your time unless you want to spent a load on hints which suck as well. Lots of puzzles that make no sense.

I love the escape games. Many of the puzzles don't seem to make sense, even after using clues to finish it. Each room has multiple items to find and place in order to reveal the next step and two puzzles to complete. I seriously can only do one room a night. It is frustrating to finish seven days collecting higher number of hints and then be bumped back to the first day one hint.

Overall, the game is fun, but this one leaves a lot to be desired in specific ways. First of all, some of the clues you're supposed to find are really, really hard to see. There were a few I used hints on that I still couldn't make out even though I knew what to look for. Second, some of the leaps required in logic are way far-fetched, so hints are almost a requirement. Lastly, the company only allows you to watch ads for free hints a few times. After that, be prepared to pay. Hate that change.

Fun until ... I reached level 10. I had 5 of the 6 pieces & had done everything else on the level that I could. Also had 150 hints saved up so you know I wasted a lot of time. Found the 6th piece-it went into a separate inventory box. Cannot merge 5 pieces + 1. Cannot go back to lvl 9 & start over. Uninstall and reinstall changes nothing. Tried to reach dev website & was forbidden. So it looks like this one in the series is a no go for me. I guess it's too much to hope to fix this bug.

I have played all of your escape games. The earlier ones were the best. Escape 7 & 8, not good at all. I uninstalled 8 at level 18. The puzzles don't make any sense and some you just can't figure out. Unlike the earlier games, you get no hints. So if you can't figure out the puzzle, you can't advance. You can't tell what the items are, if you even get them. I had to tap items multiple times before they went into inventory. Or you tap near the bottom and accidentally hit the ad.
