The jumps you have to take to connect a clue to a problem solution is often extremely far. I had to take to google to solve some and even the people who had solved it would say “I don’t know why it’s like that” or “it doesn’t make sense but here’s the answer”. The other storyline’s have been alright but I was disappointed in this one. ### 4/5 — Easter egg? *2023-07-02, version 1.08* As a Pittsburgher and a hockey fan, I wanted to leave a note of my appreciation of the Pittsburgh Penguins hockey jersey in the laundry room. 😁 I later realized the “Just Play” sign could also be a nod to the Pens as that is a favorite saying of the coach? Thanks for the great work making enjoyable games! ### 2/5 — Needlessly Difficult *2022-11-09, version 1.08* I thought it was just me but I see other reviews to this effect. Unfortunately this is my first game by this developer. There is little or no indication of how to solve the puzzles. It’s maddening. I’m out. ### 2/5 — Puzzles are way to HARD *2022-11-03, version 1.08* I love Haiku games but this game was super frustrating. The puzzles were insanely hard, you have to be Einstein to solve them. Storyline was very good but this game just wasn’t fun to play at all. ### 3/5 — Checkers *2022-09-14, version 1.08* I have tried this so many ways. Apparently there is a glitch. After downloading 2x still not fixed. Moved on deleted it ### 3/5 — Interesting *2022-01-07, version 1.08* The game is interesting so as the story but I stuck at the ski part which totally making me feel so confusing because I need to arrange the ski without any clue, after few attempts blindly arrange the ski, i just gave up ### 3/5 — Fun and difficult but improvements could be made *2021-12-31, version 1.08* The puzzles are very hard and the game is fun. I ended up deleting the game half way through because when I left the game for a minute it would make me restart the whole level, would be nice if it saved your progress in each level ### 2/5 — Ridiculous puzzles *2021-11-15, version 1.08* This is my 4th game with this developer. I deleted this game at part 2 following the Xmas Killer I had just finished. If I must depend on the “walkthrough” on most puzzles then it is not worth my time playing. I want difficult puzzles but the developers jumped through hoops to make the solutions impossible to figure out. Even with help from the “walkthrough” the puzzle solutions sometimes made no sense. I am perfectly ok with spending on hour on a puzzle - but using a walkthrough often takes the enjoyment out of the game. And I agree with another reviewer, some puzzles appear to have more than 1 solution. The block puzzle with the trees and animals for example. ### 2/5 — Kaum spielbar *2021-09-13* Die Rätsel sind meist fast unmöglich zu lösen. Und wenn man die Lösung dann irgendwo abgeschaut hat, fragt man sich tlw immer noch wie man darauf kommen soll. Zum Teil an den Haaren herbeigezogen. Verschwendete Lebenszeit. ### 3/5 — Kniffelige Rätsel? *2021-07-15* ... ich weiß ja nicht, aber diese sind teilweise sehr unlogisch und nachvollziehbar bzw. an den Haaren herbeigezogen. Sicher ist es nicht leicht bei der Vielzahl solcher Spiele, sich immer wieder etwas neues aus zu denken und danke an die Programmierer, die viel Zeit investieren, aber es sollte schon stimmig sein. ### 2/5 — Clues don’t make sense *2021-06-23, version 1.08* I’ve played every single Haiku game that has come out. I’m always so excited when new ones are released so I was absolutely thrilled when I saw this! However, it was so incredibly frustrating trying to figure out the clues. They don’t make sense, at all. I found myself watching walk thrus just to progress the story along. The game is more frustrating than enjoyable and I just finally uninstalled it half way through. ### 2/5 — Silly clues and poor writing *2021-05-18, version 1.08* This is one of the weaker Adventure Escape games. The clues are not well thought out and the plot could be a lot better. They need actual writers with good ideas and create games that make more sense. ### 2/5 — Puzzle frenzy *2021-05-13, version 1.08* I’ve really enjoyed most of the Haiku games but I did not enjoy this one in the least. I actually deleted it before finishing. There were simply too many obscure puzzles simply for the sake of having puzzles. As a result the game became too bogged down and didn’t flow smoothly like other haiku games. The storyline was decent enough but was truly overshadowed by the constant puzzles. If you’re a fan of tons of random puzzles then maybe you’ll enjoy this game. ### 4/5 — Great game, one annoyance *2021-03-25, version 1.08* I love all these games from Haiku, they are brilliant, but it's so annoying that if you come away from the game mid-chapter you have to start that chapter from the beginning when you return to play. So you could spend a long time on a particularly difficult puzzle, decide to leave it and come back to it later, only to lose any progress you'd already made in that chapter. Very frustrating. ### 2/5 — Ridiculous..... *2021-03-13, version 1.08* I love the haiku game series I really do I love the storyline and and the puzzles but you should also make sure they are playable. I almost broke my phone just now cuz I literally strained every muscle including my brain to beat the mini game video game and I can’t even get close like how is my best time forty seconds when I CANT EVEN MOVE FOR THREE WHOLE SECONDS AFTER MOVING THATS LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO BEAT ### 3/5 — This one was kind of predictable *2021-02-22, version 1.08* The mini games are fun, the escape puzzle part is too easy ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Worst of all the games *2024-09-07, version 1.08* I like the games by Haiku, as they take gameplay to a new level. This game however requires serious leaps in logic and gives new meaning to the concept of suspending disbelief. Then there is the political message that is injected into the game at various points, and is about as subtle as a brick over the head. To sum it all up, a substantial number of nonsensical puzzles, and a strong anti second amendment bias. I played through the game to give it a fair shake, but I will never play this game again. ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2021-07-16, version 1.08* Terrible game, basically all the clues don’t make sense ### 1/5 — Glitchy *2021-01-16, version 1.08* I had to play Chapter 4 several times because it failed to save my progress! Got so frustrated....do not recommend this game! ### 1/5 — Still not saving progress *2020-12-28, version 1.08* If reviews from a year ago complain about the inability to save games and you still haven’t fixed it, you’re not worth my time. I love puzzle games and downloaded this one despite the reviews, assuming the developers would have corrected such an obviously frustrating flaw by now. Wrong. What a waste of what could have been a fun app. Delete. ### 1/5 — Words cannot express how convoluted this game is. *2020-12-02, version 1.08* So I will not bother to try to express my contempt. The one star says it all. Other games in this series are better and are a solid 4 stars. These games are: Murder Manor The Xmas Killer Escape Cult Framed Do NOT play this game, Haunted Hunt or Starstruck if you value your sanity. ### 1/5 — Seemed great at first... *2020-09-26, version 1.08* It’s great at first. I used stars to get clues and unlock doors. I played the next day and my progress wasn’t saved. I had to use MORE stars to get clues to open the SAME doors. I’m deleting the app, had it for two days. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY!!! ### 1/5 — Needs fixes *2020-04-16, version 1.08* Inability to save progress and arbitrary solutions (more than one, but you to have their solution) makes this a very frustrating experience - not what I’m looking for when playing a game. Other Haiku games are far better. ### 1/5 — Start over again and again *2020-03-23, version 1.08* Every time I left the game I would have to redo that section to many times. No where to save the game. Deleted it!!! ### 1/5 — Ajuda *2019-11-14* Não estou conseguindo abrir o jogo, vcs poderiam me ajudar ### 1/5 — Terrible Game *2019-07-04, version 1.08* This is the WORST game. I spent money purchasing stars to get through certain points in the game, but the game starts at the beginning of a room if you go out and come back in. So, the money was completely wasted. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — SO fun!!! *2025-12-29* Maybe my favourite so far. Such fun riddles, I especially love the bigger ones where you gotta use deduction, like the train track ones, since they are a good level of challenging and „doing“ I honestly love you guys, these games are amazing I hope you go wild with your creativity in terms of settings etc in the future Also some more wholesome ones (even with murder) would be nice, since I’m playing them to sleep, and it’s often a bit unnerving haha ### 5/5 — Tolles Spiel *2025-08-21, version 1.08* Sehr gut gelungenes Spiel mit interessanten Rätseln und cleveren Lösungen - kann ich nur empfehlen ! ### 5/5 — Very Challenging and SO Engaging *2024-10-06, version 1.08* I loved this game. Thank you dev for the absolute mind benders…. ### 5/5 — Hardest for now *2024-05-29, version 1.08* Hardest of the series yet. Really enjoyed it but used a lot of hints ! ### 5/5 — Adventure Escape: Murder Inn *2023-01-29, version 1.08* It is so hard to find those Evidence that is clue to catch the killer, but I solved it. Then I also caught the killer🥹, and that person I s now suffering at the jail🥰. When you open the Winter Inn Cabin, and you see St. Bernard Dog so I am so happy at solving this Case, because I love St. Bernard thus it’s my dream pet. ### 5/5 — Davvero bello *2021-10-15, version 1.08* Storia avvincente e rompicapi davvero belli è complicati! Sopratutto merita 5 stelle perché gratuito! ### 5/5 — Luv it *2021-08-07, version 1.08* Oh I love blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah love love love love love blah blah of this ### 5/5 — Excelente *2021-04-05, version 1.08* Me fascinan sus juegos ### 5/5 — Great Game *2021-03-09, version 1.08* I would love to see more of this style. After I played 1 of the first ones I showed my friend during a sleepover and we were up until like... 2 am playing them. We’ve played through all of them together now and are really hoping for more like this! 😊 ### 5/5 — Top Spiel, macht sehr viel Spaß. *2021-01-10* Ein großes Lob und Danke schön an die Entwickler. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
