It’s pretty glitchy, and there used to be more music, better descriptions, and varied jobs and tasks. I do enjoy the new cities, but I would like to see it go back to the way it was when it was better supported by its creators. Also, there are too many sports questions. ### 4/5 — Great game but glitchy *2025-12-24, version 2.3.2* I really love this game, and enjoy the regular updates but the game is glitchy as hell. For instance some cities I have found at the end of every day I have to restart the game but I lose nothing, it just takes longer to reset each day. Other issues are that I'll buy at the shops and I get annertor stating that there is an error and it's not in my inventory. But it shows that I have completed a task I am buying an item for. It is glitchy and sometimes gets on my nerves but overall it's a great game that while I wish they would fix the issues, they aren't enough to make me not want to play. I wish what is needed for other cities was identified someway so that I don't waste money traveling back and forth. Also in a few cities you have to earn so many coins to complete a level it seems impossible I wish different goals were establishes. It is educational and I have learned a lot culturally through this game and this is the biggest draw to the game for me. ### 1/5 — Game is rigged in contests *2025-09-22, version 2.3.0* The game stops counting my jobs completed / questions answered with 3 hours to go in contests, but keeps counting the other competitors. ### 1/5 — Don’t bother *2025-09-20, version 2.3.0* Asks the same 8-10 questions over and over again, has annoying animations in TIMED games so that you cannot finish in 45 sec and you have to buy more time, and shows 3 minute ads for a 45sec game. Deleted. ### 3/5 — Will change to five stars if this problem is fixed… *2025-08-05, version 2.3.0* I’ve been playing this game for years and have never had many complaints. My only issue has been the fact that it’s sometimes taken a year or longer to add new cities/content and thus, I’ve almost deleted it (thinking it was no longer being updated and having completed every task and all three monuments for every city). But after the update with - I believe five new cities? - let’s see - Manchester, Munich, Liverpool, Vienna, and the city in Greenland, I believe? I was incredibly excited. I played for about a week and finished Manchester and Liverpool, had started on Vienna, when suddenly, the app kept saying “connection lost” and I needed to restart the app. If this happened even just once or twice while playing for an hour or two, it would be slightly annoying but tolerable. However, it’s happening after I answer just 3-4 questions (and often when I have to spend the night in a hotel to regain energy). It makes no sense because my connection is fine. It’s not saying this on any other app. I even tried turning WiFi off, putting it on airplane mode- nothing worked. I can’t play a game and answer 150 questions correctly if I keep getting booted out every thirty seconds. It’s even worse when it gives me the “connection failed” message while I’m in the middle of completing certain tasks in order to get rewards (like “stay in a five-star hotel for 7 nights”) … then takes my coins, kicks me out of the app, and doesn’t count it toward the goal number. The absolute worst if you had just spent a lot of tickets on a monument, only to be kicked out on the eighth question. I truly love this game and, in the past, have been happy to pay for it. But until the issue gets fixed with my supposedly “poor connection”, I’m unable to play the game and therefore not going to get a subscription to it, since I can’t make use of it. Please fix this 🙏🏼 it’s a 5 star game for sure, but only if you can actually play. ### 4/5 — Good *2025-05-26* Not bad but the app takes time to load most of the time , very instructive though ### 3/5 — Great game concept, has been ruined by making it more difficult to get tickets *2025-05-22, version 2.2.10* I used to love this game, but it has been ruined by making it difficult to earn tickets. It is now virtually impossible to play without purchasing extra tickets, which is such a shame as it was a wonderful game when I first started playing it years ago. ### 2/5 — Bruh. *2025-03-13, version 2.2.7* I have been playing for a long time and it’s been really fun! It’s a good game, except that competitions don’t really work. It works by answering questions and rising into leaderboards. But when I did that, IT NEVER COUNTED AS A QUESTION! HOW ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO RISE THE LEADERBOARDS IF YOU CANT ANSWER QUESTIONS!? I deserve my promised rewards! ### 2/5 — Not as fun *2025-02-18, version 2.2.7* Game doesn’t give rewards that it is supposed to. You have the same questions over and over no matter where you are. Contacted support over missing items, read it and ignored me ## Frequently asked questions about Backpacker™ ### What is Backpacker™?
