### 2/5 — Stopped working

*2025-11-13, version 9.0*

I enjoyed playing this game until around level 800 when it just stopped working. It makes you use points for a hint.  Then you can’t even do what’s in the hint.  It literally won’t let you do it.  Over and over and over!   Then you have to use more points to pass on the level.  Seriously disappointed now.

### 3/5 — Okay

*2025-07-18, version 3.9*

This game is fun but also strange. A lot of the puzzles don’t make sense and the grammar is awful.

### 1/5 — Level 206 is wrong

*2026-03-22, version 9.0*

Level 206 is wrong 
I used my stars for the hint and what it’s showing me is not correct. There are not enough pink pieces. This entire level is incorrect. There are suppose to be 9 magenta pieces but the level shows only 8 so how am I’m expected to complete the level when it’s completely wrong

### 1/5 — Dumb game

*2025-12-20, version 9.0*

Way too simple

### 1/5 — Won’t let me open it

*2025-11-18, version 9.0*

I tried open it multiple time and redownload it as well

### 1/5 — What is happening

*2025-11-04, version 9.0*

In the middle of playing this game something like an actual computer screen pops up over the game! I have pictures can’t find where to upload

### 1/5 — Literally makes no sense

*2025-10-27, version 6.9*

This would be ok for a child…. If the answers would actually make sense. Half the time the answers are completely wrong even. Some of the answers could be either option and when you pick an option that would work it’s considered wrong and the other option was the correct one.

### 1/5 — bad game

*2025-09-25, version 6.2*

when i try to open the app it shows a grey screen than instantly closes the app and goes back to my home screen, i tried deleting it and reinstalling but that didnt work

### 1/5 — AD-mania

*2025-09-08, version 6.2*

Ads every single minute. Literally if you solve 2 puzzles you will get an ad.

### 2/5 — Doesn’t always work

*2026-03-28, version 9.0*

When I know I’ve completed it properly it doesn’t credit me the points.

### 2/5 — Someone needs to fact check this app

*2025-12-24, version 9.0*

A lot of these levels have to be skipped because it just won’t register anything. I’ll try to get the right answer, use a hint, and it will tell me to do the exact same thing I was just doing! Then when I do it AGAIN, it still won’t work. Also, for the levels that are like an I Spy, they’re so small and fuzzy you can’t even see anything.

To make it worse, some of the puzzle answers are just outright wrong. I’m on level 400, and it was a solve the equation kind of deal. I put in the answer, it marked me wrong. So I looked at the hint to see if maybe I missed something, and here’s exactly what it says: “2+10x4=48”. I may be a math teacher but it doesn’t take my college degree to know that’s BS.

### 2/5 — Basically stopped working

*2025-11-15, version 9.0*

Around level 200 most of the levels stopped working. Even doing exactly what the hint said wouldn’t work so I end up using stars to skip them. Kinda takes all the fun out of it. A few of the answers have been completely wrong, which I could deal with if most of the levels actually worked.

### 5/5 — Brain tease :tricky puzzles

*2025-11-07, version 9.0*

This game is so fun I love it !!

### 5/5 — Fun

*2025-10-21, version 6.9*

Great way to take up time

### 5/5 — Brain Tease

*2025-07-17, version 3.9*

Everyone loves a good brain tease.

### 5/5 — FUN GAME!

*2025-05-25, version 2.3*

This game is loads of fun.  Each puzzle has it’s own special type of challenge pushing you to think outside the box and use your imagination and wit to come up with a solution.

### 4/5 — Great game but has issues

*2025-10-22, version 6.9*

For one it is so much harder to play on your phone and/or without a stylus because it makes it hard to pick up and move things. Some of the pictures are so small and fuzzy you are basically guessing answers. Some answers make no sense or are completely wrong. It’s a decent game just difficult to play.

### 3/5 — What a joke

*2026-02-02, version 9.0*

I have completed 1000 levels and did not get the pogo credits I should have for level 20,30,50,100,200,500,800, 900, 1,000.  Contacted POGO and still no points.  Game has lots of glitches as well.

### 3/5 — A Fun BUG

*2025-11-26, version 9.0*

This game is fun, and keeps your mind going, because you have to think outside of the box. However, some puzzles can get annoying when the question/answers is covered by the “hint, and extra stars” button. I’ve wasted stars because I make mistakes by trying to click the right answer, or I try to move the question bar up and can’t. Maybe it’s a bug?

### 3/5 — Needs improvement

*2025-11-07, version 9.0*

I made it to level 810 so far and a lot of the puzzles have to be skipped. Some are too fuzzy or small to see, some half of the puzzles or even the entire thing just doesn’t show up at all and you get a blank screen, many of them are almost impossible to select where you are supposed to, and often even when you do exactly what you are supposed to, the puzzle still doesn’t work. As an example, I’m on one where you have to type in a phone number on a phone. Problem is, the correct numbers don’t work.

### 3/5 — bug

*2025-11-02, version 8.4*

after level 55 there was a bug, i tried contacting customer support but it took me to a completely different place.. it’s a fun game!!!

### 3/5 — Simple but tricky

*2025-09-15, version 6.2*

The game is great for 4th grade and over. For most adults it is tooooooo simple
