### 5/5 — Carnival

*2026-05-04, version 1.26*

Very good game I like the puzzles

### 5/5 — Haiku Carnival

*2026-04-30, version 1.26*

I’m really enjoying these Haiku games! You have to use your thinking skills but they aren’t so hard you can’t solve them without help. I like the hints.

### 5/5 — Sharks, I have a new idea for you.

*2026-04-27, version 1.26*

First of all, i love this game!! I wish I could have more eerie carnival mystery games just like this. I don’t know how old you guys are or if an alternative band is up your alley.. but there is a band called panic at the disco and in their early days they had an aesthetic i’ve never seen perfected outside of that moment. It was a gothic burlesque carnival vibe. i bet you’d find more by googling it or something, disregard the new music because it’s really bad. Anyways, i am speaking directly to you guys… Please consider this untapped gothic burlesque carnival market and how your biggest fan in your app store reviews would love it. no one is doing this right now and i would jump for joy. Overall, i love this game and wish for more in the future! maybe i’ll sign up for emails. What do you guys think of my idea?

### 4/5 — Nice

*2026-03-28, version 1.26*

I like the game because most of the puzzles were easy to medium. There were some hard ones that I wanted to pass, but it cost like 25 stars to pass them other games didn’t cost so many stars. And I liked how it’s broken up into chapters.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2026-03-18, version 1.26*

This game is so fun and keeps my brain busy solving puzzles.  I’m hooked!

### 5/5 — Carnival

*2026-03-01, version 1.26*

Love it so much fun trying to solve the chapters.

### 3/5 — Fun

*2026-02-27, version 1.26*

Older game, but fun puzzles

### 5/5 — peak game

*2026-02-04, version 1.26*

I played this game as a kid it was one of the first few games i downloaded, i finally found it again in my download history and its as fun as i remember it!

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-01-22, version 1.26*

Good so far

### 5/5 — Fun

*2026-01-20, version 1.26*
