I have a large iPhone (7+) so maybe it just doesn’t fit that screen, hopefully it works on other phones. ### 1/5 — No way *2019-07-16, version 1.0.1* Ok so I tried to play the game and there was an advert for selling houses in the middle of my screen I cannot do this I might delete the app actually because I’m soooooo embarrassed for you I couldn’t see the screen in fact I am deleting the app HA ### 1/5 — Don’t bother *2019-07-04* Bad game with poor graphics which make the poor logic even worse. ### 1/5 — No *2019-06-19, version 1.0.1* Just, no. ### 1/5 — what? *2019-05-18* more than one-third of the screen is nothing but black. the game is so quiet and eerie with no sound effects to if you even call it a game. ads were popping up constantly and it was starting to become a huge problem. any clue or item you found out made no sense or was something useless. i’m really disappointed >:( ### 1/5 — Don’t ever ever get *2019-05-14* This game is frustrating and is is a waste of time do not get this was way to hard and when you take your time to figure it out it is ad after ad after ad 🤯😤☹️😏 awful ### 1/5 — Stupid *2019-04-05* You would think that if the game had adds they would but it in the bottom nope in the freakin middle ### 1/5 — Sad *2019-04-03* I couldn’t finish the game. When I solved a puzzle correctly, nothing would happen, I didn’t get the next clue so I couldn’t go any further. I tried each puzzle several times but nothing!!!! Very aggrivating 😝 ### 1/5 — Stupid *2019-03-23, version 1.0.1* nothing like the game I was looking for. Thought I would try anyway. Worst game ever way. too hard with out tutorial. Even then I couldn’t even finish it. nothing made sense. waste of time! this game stinks. ### 1/5 — Don’t get *2019-03-10* So after I escaped from the house there are no more levels 😡😡😡 really. I don’t recommend, plus no sound affect and it’s kind of confusing ### 1/5 — To hard *2019-03-06* Every other game has cool and awesome part of the game but this game is weak you hard and I think they made it so you can like the game and subscribe but I calling videos I hate Mama by the way you’re saying and I hope you love me sexy girls out there by the way my name is killer cat on a lease ### 1/5 — The worst game in the world *2019-03-04, version 1.0.1* I hate it to much harder than can you escape the apartment ### 1/5 — Why does apple recommend this app? *2019-02-18, version 1.0.1* I recieved an email by apple to try this app. What a waste of time ### 1/5 — The most infuriating game *2019-02-11, version 1.0.1* A lot of the game was enjoyable, but also a lot didn't work well. I had watched a bit of the walk through and seen a piece of the squares and crosses puzzle that I'd missed - but try as I might I just couldn't pick it up. It wasn't even visible, but after many many goes it suddenly appeared. But the worst thing was the ads towards the end - maybe because I'd had to resort to the walk through a lot, they appeared every few seconds. When I finally got the key, it took me two ads to scroll through to the room with the door. I get making you watch ads for help - but do it in one go, not a five second ad every few seconds. ### 1/5 — Pathetic *2019-01-24* This game is pathetic. I just downloaded it trying to relax after a very stressful day at school and GUESS WHAT, it wouldn’t even let me get the second thing I needed. Little tip, DON’T DOWNLOAD THIS PATHETIC EXCUSE OF A GAME!!! ### 1/5 — 😡😡😡 DONT GET. *2018-12-24* I opened up the app and then I saw this bubble popper thing I was like, okay... I thought we were escaping a room but I’ll let this slide then saw that it was an ad!! Then after I clicked the very VERY faint “x” the screen was spilt in the middle, one side all black, and the other side all squished up letters and a frozen screen. I read all the reviews and after that I decided to restart the game, everyone deserves a second chance you know?? Well, not this game. I did the same thing and I saw the ad again. (The same one mind you.) A very awkward frozen screen. At this point I was fed up and decided to give this a review. For the sake of things at the first try I wanted to give it three, but now, one. Im usually a very generous person but this incident has been a very disastrous ride. DO NOT RECOMMEND. 😡😡😡 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not great. Has potential. *2022-12-02, version 1.0.1* I have played a lot of escape type games and some really do make you think but these just didn’t make sense to be honest. I get the concept and where you going with it but needs a lot of work. There’s no thought behind the puzzles or figuring it out it’s random silly stuff out together. Not great at all to be honest. ### 1/5 — To many ads *2022-02-13* When I lose that game allways has to pop up ads and it’s hard can you even escape the house even my dad can’t a escape the house and to many ads pop up don’t ever get ever ever get this game 😡😡😡😡😤😤😡 it’s the worst game ever. ### 1/5 — Can’t open pot *2020-12-16* I turned the knob on the let burner and now it won let me open the pot to the puzzle piece. Once I got the I can’t open the range again. Not good. ### 1/5 — Confusion 😡😡😡😤 *2020-04-28, version 1.0.1* 👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽😾😡😖😤 ### 1/5 — Ugh *2019-12-27, version 1.0.1* I solved the puzzle and I thought I was wrong so I tried other things then I went on YouTube and googled it and it said I was right but it just decided not to work. ### 1/5 — Absolutely awful😞 *2019-09-20* I was really wondering how this game would be despite the reviews and it was a total let down. The entire thing just didn’t work and the ads at the bottom of the screen was too big for me to do anything. Very disappointed ☹️ ### 1/5 — They have an ad problem *2019-09-09* When I opened the game, I thought, “ this is gonna be fun!”. But then an ad popped up right in the middle of my screen and it still won’t go away. Because of the ad I can’t see one of the most important clues in the entire game. And there is no x. ### 1/5 — It’s weird on my screen *2019-09-06* Idk why buy the game is very weird on my screen. I’ve tried turning the phone around but it doesn’t help n ### 1/5 — AD Problem *2019-08-03, version 1.0.1* There is an ad in the middle it doesnt let me see the whole game 😡 ### 1/5 — Nope *2019-07-16* This game I don’t even think it’s possible it’s stressing me out and I don’t like that type a game I like escape rooms that don’t stress you out and that are really easy and fun this one is it easy or fun ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I love this game *2020-04-25, version 1.0.1* This game is so good I love it so much I wish I could play it every day ### 5/5 — This game is AMAZING *2019-07-28* I saw all the other reviews, and there probably because it’s their devices. There is not too many adds. It’s difficult to solve, but it’s not impossible!! It’s fun!! If you like solving HARD puzzles, get this game!!!!!!!!!!💖💖💖💖💖💖😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁 ### 5/5 — Great game *2017-10-09, version 1.0.1* Loved it ### 5/5 — Challanging *2017-06-26, version 1.0.1* A good struggle must admit had to use the walk through for one section. Play and enjoy! ### 5/5 — Can you escape the house *2017-02-04, version 1.0* Stuck!! But good ### 5/5 — SPOILER ALERT! *2017-02-01, version 1.0* Finally completed....the bird pic is a clue for the wheelchair puzzle, the number sequence is to do with the three shape puzzle (think number of sides) Hope this helps! ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2017-01-27, version 1.0* Testing game! ### 5/5 — Stuck *2017-01-18, version 1.0* Hard but addictive ### 5/5 — Hard *2017-01-17, version 1.0* Stuck ### 5/5 — Someone help me *2017-01-16, version 1.0* Im stuck --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
