### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2022-12-29, version 1.8.1*

I love this game it’s the best game ever

### 2/5 — Needs fixed and updated

*2022-05-09*

I keep deleting my profile and re-playing #3 intro and the puzzle is crime doesn’t pay, but when you put it in it says it’s incorrect. Even after it spells it out for you, it still says that. I also wish that if you’re only going to give us a certain amount of puzzles, that you would change the prize positions, because I’m not going to keep buying boards. Especially when the game messes up so bad. It’s not good when you’ve had the same complaints for all of these years and nothing is done about it and people are paying for this game because we love it so much! I’ll give 5 stars when this stuff is fixed. I wish I wouldn’t have bought it, if I knew it was going to be like this.

### 2/5 — Needs updated

*2022-01-14*

I bought this game thinking it would be fun but instead it has been frustrating because a few of the answers to the puzzles are misspelled. Don’t they edit these games before uploading them. I wish I can get my money back for this wate of my time game.

### 2/5 — Needs updated

*2021-08-20*

Still waiting for updated puzzles.

### 1/5 — Pure crap

*2020-12-23, version 1.8.1*

Don’t waste your money.  Crappy game.  The puzzles are wrong, correct answers are said to be wrong.  One clue had a white circle, game said it was supposed to be a egg

### 1/5 — Very Disappointed

*2020-10-24*

There are way too many glitches in solving. You type the correct answer and it says INCORRECT. When it gives the answer, it is exactly what you typed!

### 1/5 — Rip off

*2020-05-17, version 1.8.1*

I want my money back! There are only 4 puzzles. That’s it! Refund me.

### 1/5 — Review 03-03-2020

*2020-03-04, version 1.8.1*

When you initially buy, you only get three puzzles.  You have to pay extra to get more.  In that sense, the description is misleading.  Also, the bonus round doesn’t display the clock.

### 1/5 — Awful !!

*2020-01-09, version 1.8.1*

Would have given 0 stars. The game keeps shutting down. Can’t even play one game.

### 2/5 — Disappointing

*2020-01-03, version 1.8.1*

The ai needs to be improved I answered correctly twice and it didn’t r3cognize it! Fail!
