### 4/5 — Good, but quality is slipping

*2026-09-02*

Generally happy with this game, but the quality is degrading. The most recent game has a puzzle that calls a Canadian province a US state, and some of the artwork looks like it was done by AI. It’s really too bad.

### 4/5 — It’s unlike no other 🥹

*2026-08-30, version 40.05*

I love the puzzles, it’s like an interactive book!

### 3/5 — Fun game

*2026-08-29, version 40.05*

Okay so changing my review because while I don’t mind spending money, I bought VIP for a game and it said by buying VIP you could get hints and it’s not happening, still making me watch videos.  If I’m paying for the game I shouldn’t have to also watch the videos.  Help.

### 4/5 — Difficult

*2026-08-26, version 40.04*

Tricky

### 1/5 — Ew.

*2026-08-20, version 40.03*

Long time Haiku Adventure fan. I've never minded weird plotholes or strange logic before now - it's been based in fantasy and silly good fun. The NCIS game has changed my mind.
Can't wait until you've got more games out so I can wipe the bad taste of this one out of my mouth.

### 4/5 — Horrible Error in Latest Game

*2026-08-20*

For the laptop code the second number should be 4. Not 6. Two pictures on the wall. Clearly a symbol for 3 and 1. Otherwise, I love the games but that mistake is so huge and impossible to overcome. **After reading the developers response, I owe you an apology! I never saw a third symbol and didn’t want to play the whole game again to see it. If it is there I completely missed it!!**

**Developer response:** Thanks for playing! The pictures you're referring to do represent 3 and 1, but there is another lighter symbol for 2 behind the picture frames, which is why the answer is 6. Hope this helps!

### 5/5 — Best game out there!

*2026-08-20, version 40.03*

I have been adventure escape games from Haiku for probably a decade at this point and have never stopped since! They truly make one of a kind games that are both challenging and fun, but well articulated in plot characters! I’m so glad they made an app with all of their games in one place and how often they upload new stories! Love these games and this company so so much, they have gotten me through the years!

### 1/5 — Too much ads

*2026-08-20, version 40.03*

Watching ads for extra keys to unlock the stories/chapters is fine, but why do we have to watch ads when we are using our keys? Kind of defeats the point of having keys if I still need to watch a pointless ad when using them.

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2026-08-19*

I can only assume anyone who rates this with 1 star is in competition with this app! I have been playing mystery solving and escape room games on various apps for years and this one is by far the best one I have ever used. There is tons of content. The stories are jnterestjng and cleverly written. It has so many free games on it. You literally watch 1 ad at the beginning of a new level which could take a good hour to complete if not more and then watch another ad at the beginning of the next level. I am so grateful for this app! I hope it remains loyal to its followers and don’t change their ad ratio. Overall it’s absolutely excellent.

### 4/5 — Horrible Error in Latest Game

*2026-08-14, version 40.03*

For the laptop code the second number should be 4. Not 6. Two pictures on the wall. Clearly a symbol for 3 and 1. Otherwise, I love the games but that mistake is so huge and impossible to overcome.
