### 3/5 — Fun but massive

*2026-09-03, version 15.5.0*

The game is great, but be prepared to lose all the space in your device. It keeps adding Mbs and Mbs.  You can’t remove old areas. It just keeps building. At some point you won’t be able to update anymore without deleting half of your other apps.

### 3/5 — Eine milde Enttäuschung…

*2026-08-16*

Leider das schwächste Spiel, dass ich von Five BN Games kenne. Irgendwie stimmt hier das ganze Konzept nicht. Man wird mit den Figuren überhaupt nicht warm, und möchte man wirklich Teil einer reichlich debilen Gameshow sein? Dann bricht man einfach in Häuser ein und stiehlt Artefakte aus Tempeln. Das finde ich zumindestens alles ganz schön fragwürdig. Auch das Gameplay scheint weniger durchdacht und macht weniger Spaß als in anderen Spielen. Seltsam. Aber es ist einfach nichts für mich! Ich habe das Gefühl, das Spiel versucht verzweifelt allen zu gefallen und spricht mich deswegen überhaupt nicht an.

### 3/5 — Big game, hard puzzles, spent too much money.

*2026-08-01, version 14.5.0*

This was a bigger game than I expected. Creative and visually interesting. A lot of moving back and forth. The puzzles were not always obvious as to how they were to be handled. Often I had to  spend money to get past them in order to continue on to the game. Be prepared to spend more money than if you just bought the game outright.

### 5/5 — Favourite!

*2026-07-31, version 14.5.0*

Absolutely love this game. The new episodes can’t come out soon enough!

### 4/5 — Bogue

*2026-07-17, version 14.5.0*

Lors d'une demande d'indice, impossible de fermer l'annonce. Je suis obligée de fermer le logiciel...!?!  J'aimerais bien continuer 😉

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2026-07-09, version 14.5.0*

I love Five-BNs games in general but this one is being frequently updated with new levels, which is great. Gameplay is engaging, very few glitches, my only complaint is that some mini games and puzzles seem to be designed to frustrate players into buying hints. But, overall, it’s awesome.

### 4/5 — Slightly disappointed

*2026-07-04, version 14.5.0*

After playing all the other 5BN games and thoroughly enjoying them, I found this series slightly different. There is a lot of jumping around the scenes (not just by one or two, but by six or seven) with less logic than before. Some items can only be found by random clicking rather than deduction or careful viewing. I am not a fan either of the time based games to gain extras. I’ll keep going but with less enjoyment than before.

### 2/5 — Once you’re stuck you’re stuck.

*2026-06-28, version 14.5.0*

This game does nothing to explain what you need to do on the puzzles to get to the next area.

### 3/5 — Glitchy

*2026-06-22, version 14.4.0*

In artifact seekers , doll factory, I am not allowed to complete the coffin puzzel. No amount of walkthrus or hints help.  Crazy and disappointing!

### 5/5 — Mysterious

*2026-06-14, version 14.4.0*

Such a cool game. One of the best I’ve played ! Lots of mystery items to find. Not easy do keeps you hooked trying to complete

### 5/5 — Love this game!

*2026-06-13, version 14.4.0*

Can’t believe this game is free!   The puzzles are pretty hard, but there is a LOT of game play!  Really makes you work your brain.

### 3/5 — Flop…

*2026-06-08, version 14.4.0*

I’ve played pretty much every game that this company has put out but this particular game is annoying on so many levels. There’s basically no storyline or plot or character development to keep me interested through tougher puzzles. I don’t mind difficult challenging puzzles, but just solving them because they are there isn’t enough. Through lost lands, etc. there were storylines and plots and characters intermingled and came back in different games… Had a strong narrative and provocative philosophical, moral and ethical nuances that made the games really interesting… Artifact seeker is literally just solving puzzles and there is basically minimal interaction with any of the characters in the game which feels very isolating, even though there’s a tally that shows you other players success in finding stars which are attainable thru side puzzles… other than that, you basically don’t add or act with anybody and the characters don’t interact with each other. So 99.9% of the time you’re simply trying to solve a puzzle but, for what purpose? Who cares? I’m about halfway through chapter 2, but I am about 95% through my patience and interest level with this game. It feels very contrived. And that the purpose of making the puzzles Uber difficult is simply to get you to purchase an app offers.
 The visuals are basic and uninteresting. I actually love the wild West as a theme for many things but here it just feels flat and because there’s no interaction between characters or between you and other characters, I don’t feel like I’m playing a game… I feel like the game is playing the players I feel taking advantage of. As I say, it is really a first time for me to have feelings like this for this company’s games which I typically rave about and tell other people about.
 I feel so uninspired playing this game and I’m constantly getting really bored. It’s both a bit heartbreaking and sad… I can’t believe I actually paid money to purchase.

### 5/5 — Дуже сподобалась гра

*2026-06-06, version 14.3.0*

Дякую Вам за працю, все гарно зроблено і продумано

### 4/5 — Artifact Seekers. JAPAN

*2026-06-04, version 14.3.0*

Glitch in the Mahjong matching game 3 has no match

### 5/5 — Genial

*2026-05-28*

Eure Spiele sind der Hammer. Spannend, knifflig und die Geschichten dazu, sind fantastisch.

### 5/5 — Better Than All the Similar Apps

*2026-05-26, version 13.4.0*

This company and their games are so much better and classier than the other wannabe’s out there!  Especially the ones that have Disney-CG-style characters!

### 2/5 — Seemed good until

*2026-05-23, version 13.4.0*

Second level, mask cannot be collected and now can’t go forward.

### 2/5 — Have loved all your games but..

*2026-05-19, version 13.4.0*

Find it a bit annoying the games are deliberately obscure at times which forces us to watch numerous ads to get hints. Frustrating collecting loads of items that you can’t seem to initially use, which does remove a lot of enjoyment from gameplay. The voice overs on this , and lost lands are very grating too

### 1/5 — 为什么没有中文了

*2026-04-05, version 13.3.0*

之前还有结果更新完没有中文选项了，啥意思啊

### 1/5 — No way to report the bug without giving away my email address

*2026-04-04, version 13.3.0*

There is a bug that prevents me from completing secret room star puzzle, but no way to contact developer via the app. I must give them my email address. Very disappointing.

### 1/5 — There is no solution to the small game.

*2026-02-01, version 12.0.0*

<circus arena>,the three arrows game,no solution. The game:2,7,9,2,9,3,3,5,4,3,7,5,4,3,4,,3,4,5,6,1,use this numbers,add or multiply,15,16,4,11,9,13,10,14,12,8;I have calculated it with AI,and AI has given no solution.

### 1/5 — Worst five-bn game

*2025-12-27, version 8.2.0*

Basically the worst by a dev I love. For some reason 1) areas in a room that you have fully explored and solved will still zoom in afterwards, making it hard to know where to progress. 2) there is a bunch of clutter with optional items and puzzles, further adding to this clutter

None of their other games have both of these features. If you find an item, usually you can no longer zoom in when clicking that area which makes it way easier to know when a room is clear. I don’t know why they regressed their game design into a much worse form

### 1/5 — 앱실행

*2025-11-25, version 8.1.0*

업데이트후 앱실행이 안되요 아예 로딩이  안되요 어떻게 좀 ....

### 1/5 — Bug in game

*2025-08-31, version 6.3.0*

Bug in part of game. Cannot advance. No response from support

### 1/5 — Décevant, très décevant !

*2025-08-28*

Vous nous avez habitués à l’excellence !!! je viens de jouer au premier épisode, j’essaye le second. Si le concept est le même, j’arrête.

### 1/5 — Squ@lo

*2025-08-27, version 6.3.0*

Mettete i giochi in italia e non mettete la lingua italiana assurdo. zero stelle

### 1/5 — Elephant  Seekers

*2025-08-19, version 6.1.0*

Blöde Rätsel

### 1/5 — Artifact Seekers

### 5/5 — I love this game (and this game studio)

*2026-09-05, version 15.5.0*

I highly recommend this game and the other games created by this game studio

### 5/5 — Parfait

*2026-08-29*

Jeu excellent ! Rappelant les escapes games ! Indices et recherches au top !

### 5/5 — Five star fun

*2026-08-19, version 15.3.0*

Five bn are the gold standard for this genre. I like the concept of a game show, and it works well going through all the scenarios, rather than having a separate game for each one. It also means that purchases work all through the game rather than having to buy some pints for each one.  Great fun!

### 5/5 — LOVE THIS GAME!

*2026-08-19, version 15.3.0*

I always find it hard to wait for the next episode! Sooo good!!!

### 5/5 — 미친 회사 ㄷㄷ

*2026-08-14*

게임 스토리라인 미쳤고 그냥 웬만한 방탈출 게임이랑 비교가 안됩니다. 여타 게임에 있는 시스템인 에너지 제한, 광고 유도같은 짜치는 것 없이 순수 난이도와 게임의 품질로 승부하는데, 몰입도가 굉장해서 한 번 붙잡고 몇 시간씩 고민하게 됩니다. 특히 미니게임은 난이도가 상당하고 퀄리티가 매우 높은 것 같습니다. 51구역이라니 벌써부터 기대가 되는데 빨리 내주세요 ㅠㅠ

### 5/5 — New for me

*2026-08-12, version 15.2.0*

Pretty good adventure game among all the others iive played

### 5/5 — 10 stars

*2026-08-12, version 15.2.0*

I cannot put into words how perfect this game is. All games from this developer. Im about to have to play them all again bc I haven’t found any that compare. Especially artifact seekers- I find myself still clicking around looking for collectibles in all the other games!

### 5/5 — IN LOVE WITH FIVE BN GAMES

*2026-08-08, version 14.5.0*

To players: This game is way more than just AMAZING. Even if somehow there’s, like, a loooot of similar games in market, this one studio never fails to create games that stand out in the crowd. I have followed each and every five bn game, after the release of Lost Lands 3, and I keep craving for more! To creators: I get that the creators need time to come up with the best stories and to convert those stories in to games, thereafter, but I just wanted to know if there is a platform, something like on discord, where I can get updates about the upcoming releases, or something like that. Previously, in Artifact Seekers, specifically, it used to show the exact date when the next “episode” would come out, but now it doesn’t, so that makes the waiting even more difficult 😭 would love to know if there is a platform or account or such which posts new game/“episode” updates! Thank you for making these games!

### 5/5 — Dang

*2026-08-06, version 14.5.0*

I’m not even sure I paid for this! But if I did, wow, what a bargain (I think there are paid hints, but I didn’t use any). Super long games, massive amounts of puzzles (some fairly difficult), lots to explore and find. The characters and stories can be a little cheesy, but the gameplay and logic is awesome. The only other drawback can be locating some items. I find if you’re not clicking all over in some situations that you can miss things and then stumble around later looking for them. But I still totally recommend if you enjoy escape games. I’ve probably played most all of them out there and this - while maybe not as stylish and slick as others - was still a joy to play. Gonna get the rest of these too.

### 5/5 — One of my favourite from 5-BN

*2026-08-05, version 14.5.0*

This game is one of my favourite. I can’t wait for the next chapter to come out. Keep up the amazing work!
