  • Ads

    The game itself is great, I love it, but after every single section of a puzzle, there's an ad. My annoyance with the constant ads outweigh my interest in the game
  • Love it but it crashed

    This is a great game for those who love crypto puzzles. But it crashed. Had to dump it. Will install again and hope that works. I really like it
    Later - keeps freezing but I like it so again I’m deleting then reinstalling. Wish they would fix
  • Not for young kids

    I very much enjoy this app, but there should be an age warning. I have done 4 stories so far, and 3 have involved murder, abuse, or death. I would not recommend this app for anyone under 13 or who is sensitive to darker content. It is also annoying how some of the pop-up ads pause your audio, so you have to keep leaving the app to restart your audio if you are listening to something. Overall, though, I really enjoy this app.

  • Still alive

    This was my favorite game on my ipad before it broke. Three years later, not only are you back, you never left in the first place, and only kept growing. Keep up the awesome work.
  • Fun, one problem

    The only issue I have with this game is that every ad I get is one I can’t close. The little “x” is so tiny and so far up in the corner that it won’t let me hit it. In order to get back to the game, I have to close the app completely, and restart it. This makes it impossible to watch a video for a hint, as well. It’s really frustrating.

  • Let me close the ads

    Could be fun except the ad “x” to close the ad is in an impossible-to-reach position, & I will not be exiting & restarting the app every level because it’s not good enough to be worth it.
  • Ads are a problem

    The gameplay is very enjoyable, but I can’t close the ads that occasionally pop up. The x is too far in the corner. I end up having to close and reopen the game to continue playing.
  • I’m too dumb for this

    I’m sure that if I actually knew how to solve these this would be a great fun. But I don’t know, maybe it’s because I’m only 10. But you know. I want to know how to do this. But I don’t. 🥲
  • Great game but can’t close ads

    I really like the game - quirky stories, good functionality. HOWEVER, the ads lock up the game CONSTANTLY! It is ridiculously frustrating and I’m now looking for an alternative game. Please fix this issue! The last update said this was fixed but it’s just getting worse.
  • Excellent way to spend my time

    If you like cryptograms this app is definitely worth your while. I like that it has a good variety of different styles from short tales, ancient tales, poems, and other styles of writing. And with a repertoire of different authors each cryptogram exposes you to a different style of writing. What makes it even more fun for me, is that, by the time you’re done with a cryptogram you will have also read a new book or story, which can take as long as you want (you can pick how lengthy a tale you wanna tackle and it saves your progress automatically so you can take as many days, months, or years to finish one). And if you get bored you can always work on a new one or go back and pick off where you left off on an old one.

    I’d also like to add, the developer was very responsive when I submitted feedback about a small bug I came across on a prior version which was fixed pretty quickly on the next update. Thank you for taking my feedback!
