Fantastic Fun!

I am a huge fan of lateral thinking puzzles, and have been for many years. These “think- outside-the-box“ riddles sharpen brain skills and help you learn problem solving abilities.

My husband and I always have the game with us (on my phone) and we like to play it while dining in restaurants or waiting in doctors’ offices, etc.

My one and only complaint is that we have played all the puzzles and are now eagerly awaiting more to be added, hopefully SOON!!!

Thank you so much! :)

Thank you so much! We are very happy that you and your husband are enjoying the game. We love lateral thinking puzzles and even more when they can be played in group. We will try to keep adding new stories in the future but it is getting more and more difficult. We have many stories and we would like to include new ones that are different from the ones we already have.

Love these kinds of riddles - but one question

Our whole family enjoys these riddles. Some are old favorites but most are new to us. One question though, is there a version without so much murder? Our 7 yo doesn’t like that part of it.

Response from developer

Hi, we are happy that you like it. Unfortunately we don't have a version without deaths. We will consider adding a filter so that all the stories related to death can be skipped. We hope you have fun with some of the stories

Very fun game which makes you think! 🤔

I love this app! It really makes you think outside of the box! I love making my friends use their head and hearing what their answers will be to these wild riddles! Also, having some of the riddles be locked makes sure that you’re not looking at all of the riddles in one day. This is one of my favorite apps! Also, add a few more riddles if you can. Thank you!

A beautiful party game for any situation

I recently went a getaway with some friends for 3 days and in the lead up to going away I tried to find some mobile party games so I didn’t need to cart my board games around.

We started playing this game on our first evening away while sitting around a camp fire together, we played for hours. Taking a little bit of time to get our heads into the right forms of thinking to solve the delightful problems presented.

Over the course of our trip we played Dark Stories non-stop. We continued to play while on hikes, in the car together and even while we were all cooking and eating our meals, each taking turns to be the narrator which added interesting depths to the stories as we each personally felt the group needed to solve certain aspects of the stories in order for us to mark them as complete.

A couple of my friends feel that Dark Stories provided the perfect life blood of our get away and we will be sure to play more any chance we get. I hope to see more stories added and would love to thank the the developers and writers for their wonderful work right down to the ominous music that plays, setting a perfect tone.

So from a group of 6 friends, thank you so much. We can’t wait to see if more Dark Stories await us.

Hi! We are very happy to see that it helped you having a great time. It takes some time to get used to think in a different way to solve some of the stories and we are glad that you could make it. We will try to keep adding more stories stories (we are working on new ones but it's a very slow process). Thanks for your kind words, we hope you keep enjoying the game and having fun.

Love it !!!

Awesome! Thank you so much, we are happy to see that you like it. We hope you have fun 😊👍

This is a really cool game but .::

I like all the stories I have a lot of fun with this game but I wish I could play it online with other people all over the world or with with friends I can invite and have a chat to ask. This definitely could be a game you could play online or with computer. Like monopoly I can play with the computer, with online friends and also my friend added by creating a room and sharing a code for the group. This would be great especially on quarantine times when people rather not hang out

Hi, unfortunately, adding that kind of feature is not easy at the moment but we will consider it for the future. We hope you enjoy the game

Best of the Lateral thinking games

There are a lot of lateral thinking games out there and they all share the common trait of “unsolvable” unless you play in a group. That said, I found the stories in this game very inventive and a notch better than the rest. There are not so many repeats or common stories you get in Dark Stories.

Response from developer

Thank you! We are happy to see that you like the game and we hope you have a lot of fun 👍

Great app

Great fun

Response from developer

Thank you! 😊

Terrible

Was excited to play. Everything about it seemed cool, but the writers are not good at presenting scenarios that have enough logic or wit. It’s like a kid fantasized and asked you to guess what he’s thinking. Pretty ridiculous. Hire some writers and maybe you’ll have a shot.

Response from developer

Hi, we are sorry that you did not like the game. In this kind of games, there are usually some far-fetched stories. That way, players have to ask more questions and the game lasts longer. Since the narrator can give hints to the rest of the players, we think all of the stories can be solved. In any case, thansk for giving the game a try

Great Fun

Please add more stories

Response from developer

Hi, we will keep working to try to add more stories
