Would give it 5 stars if it worked right! ### 3/5 — Can’t see number of hearts on iPhone 15 pro *2024-02-20, version 1.27* Seems like a lovely game but I can’t see the hearts as they don’t show properly at the very bottom right of the screen on the iPhone 15 pro. Happy to revise my review and play on if there’s a workaround. For now I’ve requested a refund. ### 4/5 — Great game, display issue on iPhone 13 Pro *2024-01-29, version 1.27* Excellent game of course. Technical issue where the heart points or whatever are cut off and you can’t see them. ### 5/5 — My favourite game *2024-01-19, version 1.27* This is one of my favourite games of all time. I hope inkle makes more games like this. More text!!!! ### 5/5 — Truly excellent game *2023-12-30, version 1.27* Do you have a long car or train or aeroplane ride in your future? Well then this is the perfect game for you! Not only can you take far more interesting and exciting methods of transport than in real life, you can read far more interesting and exciting things than happen in real life! But seriously, this is almost the perfect mobile game. Suitable for either long play sessions or just one leg of your journey during a lunch break, you can play it at your own pace, despite what the promotional materials may imply. The writing and dialogue are brilliant, and in turns both snappily funny and deeply touching. The art for all the different cities and vehicles is beautiful, and the planning aspect is surprisingly deep and complex if you choose to engage deeply, while still being easy to pick up for a more casual player or if you want to focus more on the masterful writing. Five dollars is a great price for this much value. My only complaint is that the Game Center integration where you can see your friends’ past routes as well as your own doesn't seem to work anymore, but I suppose that's inevitable after five years of not being updated. Still, I would strongly advise anyone considering a purchase to do it. If you like narrative games, books, or heck even strategy games, you’ll love this. ### 5/5 — Zen Mode Please? *2023-12-23, version 1.27* I love this game so much, but I would love it even more if there was a zen mode where you just go all over the world to adventure and trade without the constraint of 80 days. Pretty please, awesome developers? Thank you for a great game! ### 4/5 — Game itself is great *2023-08-10, version 1.27* I’ve loved this game since it first came out, and I figured it was time to play it again. The game is still great, but the lack of updates on the new phones make it hard to play. For example on my iPhone 13 I cannot see Fog’s health. I wish they’d continue to at least update it to support newer devices. ### 4/5 — Amazing but let me listen to music!! *2023-06-19, version 1.27* I want to give this five stars - I’ve been playing this game for years - it’s the greatest mobile game out there. These days, though, the only chance I get to play mobile games is on public transport to work, where I want to listen to music. Opening the game forces your music to turn off, which means I can’t play it when I want to - please change this!! ### 5/5 — Fabulous *2023-04-10, version 1.27* I have played this fame so many times its fantastic. Nothing out there quite like it, unfortunately! ### 5/5 — Amazing & Replayable *2023-04-03, version 1.27* Best game I’ve bought this year. So much replayability and such an interesting concept. ### 5/5 — Interactive, Engaging, Uplifting (Great!) *2023-02-22, version 1.27* This story-generating app is engaging, intellectually stimulating (because the story brings you to interesting world locations and decision situations, and the story adapts to your choices), and creative. The app is enjoyable and stimulating while being low-stress, allowing your mind to wander to new travel adventures. Definitely worth the purchase price 👍. ### 5/5 — Wonderful and keeps me coming back for more years later *2023-02-05, version 1.27* I cannot rate this highly enough. Truly a delight. ### 5/5 — Fun, Adventurous game with great story. *2022-12-30, version 1.27* I like how the game has you explore different areas, cultures, people, etc. I’ve learned a lot. It’s Not a game to play if you want to kill people action action action. It’s a chill, relaxed game if you want to take the time to read dialogue and explore. I wish it was a little bit more like the 80 days movie (2004) and you can take a woman with you. Would play it a lot more if it had a little more romantic gameplay because I mean come on, it’s around the world.. guys have fantasies too lol! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No updates in 8 years?!? *2026-08-27, version 1.27* This was fun to play cause you can do it so many different ways. I assumed they’d update it and switch things up over time. But now it’s not even working anymore. ### 1/5 — Not working on IPad A16, 26.5 OS *2026-07-07, version 1.27* Please fix ### 1/5 — Appears to not work on new iPads anymore. *2026-04-04, version 1.27* Won’t go past the title screen on my M2 iPad. ### 1/5 — This used to be amazing *2026-03-12, version 1.27* I write this hoping the designers at Inkle see it. This game used to be awesome but is now unplayable on iphone 16. Fogg has a health bar in the bottom right of the screen, the numbers are cut off and cannot be read. This is bad because it is a major game mechanic to maintain his health to determine routes. Play it on a different platform if you can. ### 1/5 — Actually awful *2025-07-04, version 1.27* There are a few "cyoa" games like this where the plot is actually meaningless gibberish and ppl want to feel clever so they give It 5 stars and pretend they liked it or knew what was going on ### 1/5 — Devs incentivised people to NOT play game *2023-10-18, version 1.27* The long intro is unskippable intentionally. Stated reason was “to discourage restarting the journey.” Is it insane to discourage people from replaying your game? Well actually maybe they do want you to stop and buy their other stuff. 1 star for insulting psychological gimmick ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work on iPad *2021-02-01, version 1.27* I can’t actually review the game as I bought this game to play on my iPad (iPad Pro running iOS 13.4.1)but it’s not working. It does the credits then just shows a black screen with stars/points on. I’ve tried redownloading it multiple times but it’s still not working. Very disappointed. Hopefully this will get fixed soon otherwise I’ve wasted £5. ### 1/5 — A whole lot of nothing! *2020-09-27, version 1.27* One of the most boring games ever. Graphics are so basic and the storyline is bland. The gameplay is pitiful. Nothing about this game is even close to good even though it’s based on one of the greatest stories ever written. You’ve been warned....save your money! ### 1/5 — Uh...no *2020-08-26, version 1.27* This is a text game like Zork with simple graphics but a more limited UI. Not sure where the hype came from. Not worth my money. ### 1/5 — This game was boring! *2020-04-30, version 1.27* I was so disappointed! I haven’t bought a game in YEARS and I researched this one before I bought it. I read all the reviews. I’m so mad at myself for spending $5😡. I want my money back. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 10 years later I'm still playing *2026-01-10, version 1.27* I return to this game almost every time I get a flight somewhere - something about it is incredibly addictive and satisfying. It's well written and choosing a different route each time is incredibly rewarding. ### 5/5 — Still great *2026-01-03, version 1.27* An all-time fantastic game. I play it every Christmas. ### 5/5 — Still a fantastic game in 2025 *2025-12-31, version 1.27* Love this game. So much content that replaying it is always fun. One wish: optimize graphics at the corners for rounded screens- for example Fogg’s health is hidden behind the curve ### 5/5 — Beautiful *2025-11-20* Nice game. Interesting story and characters ### 5/5 — BEST GAME EVER *2025-07-08, version 1.27* It helped me through 3 flights without any boredom. This game is truly the best! ### 5/5 — fun interactive fiction *2025-03-27, version 1.27* 80 Days is less of a game than interactive fiction. Readers of a certain age will recall Choose Your Own Adventure books. 80 Days is a modern version of this based on a steam-punk variation of the Jules Verne classic novel. The concept is simple, but the execution is delightful. The text is in short segments, which gives plenty of opportunity for the graphics and sounds to enhance the experience. Overall, a fun world to explore. ### 5/5 — Still playing *2025-02-25, version 1.27* Years later, i still enjoy doing a trip on this. The writing is fantastic. Classic ### 5/5 — Perfect game *2024-11-23, version 1.27* I downloaded this game on a whim, and immediately became an addict. The app is beautifully conceived, with a simple, elegant interface and ever-changing storylines. Its setting is in a firmly Victorian world, but with elements of steampunk which make the politics and the modes of transport highly varied and interesting. You play the role of Phineas Fogg’s faithful valet Passepartout, responsible for all route planning, travel arrangements and money handling, while keeping Fogg happy. You visit cities, towns, hamlets and settlements around the world, dealing with situations as they arise as you push forward, trying to get around the world alive, healthy, and solvent before the 80 days is up and Fogg’s famous wager is lost. Surprisingly, you also have the opportunity to shape your own personality and even find romance. The interface, the dialogue, and the background music (John Williams does Elgar) all combine to keep you immersed in this 19th century dream world. An experience not to be missed! ### 5/5 — I lauv it :3 *2024-08-03, version 1.27* It’s so well thought out an executed, defo worth the 8$. Highly recommend‼️ ### 5/5 — Engrossing and nostalgic *2024-07-15, version 1.27* I played this game over 5 years ago and I suddenly missed it and redownloaded it. Never done that for a mobile game before. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
