### 5/5 — Excellent in all respects

*2026-02-28, version 1.0.0*

Very enjoyable game. Lots of puzzles, great graphics and story. A thoroughly well-thought out game. 
Map is so helpful, I hate wasting time running round to check which room you need next. It works! 
Long game, lots to do and interesting variety of puzzles. 5 stars!

### 2/5 — Sound cuts out

*2022-03-12, version 1.0.0*

A potentially great game ruined by the fact that sound cuts out constantly, and requires force closing and reopening the game to get it to work again.

### 5/5 — Big fish

*2020-12-26, version 1.0.0*

I love it

### 5/5 — Thought it was great!

*2020-01-15, version 1.0.0*

Just want to say this proved to be a really great game.  Adventure part was challenging, story line was interesting, and no serious glitches.  I played to the end and played bonus game as well.  Just enough hidden objects and other little games thrown in, and the plot twist with The security guard Victor!

### 4/5 — Intriguing game

*2020-01-13, version 1.0.0*

Loved the premise. I also loved all the extra touches, such as a tablet with your map, etc. on it, matrix-esque visuals, etc. Innovative puzzles, varied HOS, length is good. If you love academia, scientists gone wrong, and fun, then this game is for you!

### 5/5 — Excellent Addition to the Series!!!

*2019-08-25, version 1.0.0*

This was a great game in a great serried!  I had zero technical issues on my iPad Pro!  Definitely recommend!!!!

### 4/5 — Would have given 5 stars but...

*2019-07-21, version 1.0.0*

The bonus game was very short compared to other Big Fish bonus games & the game would sometimes make you think it had frozen as the screen would go black for a few seconds as it was changing scenes but the graphics are the best Ive ever played & the puzzles were really awesome.

### 1/5 — Not impressed

*2019-03-09, version 1.0.0*

One of the first thing that happened is that you can’t pick up the first hat for the collection. The story is boring and stilted. Just glad I didn’t pay for the unlocked game, even on sale it’s not worth it

### 1/5 — Puzzles are bad

*2019-02-22, version 1.0.0*

Directions on how to do them are non existent and don’t waste your time trying to figure them out.

### 1/5 — Worst!!!

*2019-01-21, version 1.0.0*

I have played these types of games for years and this is the first time I have ever come upon a game that had an interface this poorly designed. This is sad because you can tell the creators put a lot of work and effort into this game however, accessing levers is needlessly complicated and many of the operations for clues are not easy to understand. 

Again I have played dozens of these type of games on the hardest difficulty (so I know what I’m talking about) and this is by far the worst one to interact with.
