  • Fun challenges

    Glad I got this game - I was hesitant. But the puzzles are done well. Some are solved easily, and for others I can’t figure out what to do, and have to come back later. It took me quite a few levels just to figure out the interface. For those of us who enjoy puzzles where your first problem when presented with a new screen is, “what am I supposed to do with this,” this is right up our alley. No directions - just something to figure out. Quite fun!

  • Frustrating

    I wanted to enjoy this, but eventually it gets too clever for its own good. If you’re prepared to put hours into thinking about the puzzles fine, but otherwise it can get frustrating very quickly. And there’s no reward ‘hit’ once you solve a problem - just straight on to the next one.
  • Fantastic - Totally Obsessed

    Came across this game totally on accident and it’s sparked a new interest in cryptography. Definitely worth it for those who want to keep their minds sharp and employ out-of-the-box thinking.
