### 1/5 — Don’t bother

*2017-11-02*

Ads pop up so frequently that the game is completely impossible to play.

### 1/5 — No. No, you can't open it.

*2017-08-19*

The moment this app launches you are inundated with full screen pop up advertisements. You can't click on the screen to even learn how to play the game, let alone play it. This isn't an "app" it's "crap".

### 1/5 — Don't bother!

*2017-07-29*

Wish I could give this zero stars. You can't do anything because the ads pop up every few seconds.

### 1/5 — Гавно

*2017-03-10, version 2.1*

Как играть на первом уровне нажимаю на дверь реклама и паять и опять да бесконечности

### 1/5 — Open Door

*2017-01-07, version 2.1*

Couldn't tell if this was a good 'Open Door' puzzle, ads would pop up ever second so I didn't even play the game before deciding to delete it!

### 1/5 — Cannot play

*2016-12-15*

There is literally an ad every single second. They pop up before I can even tap. I end up tapping on an ad, close out of it, and when I try to tap the screen again, BAM! AD!

### 1/5 — Worst game EVER!

*2016-12-10*

How can I even try to escape the room if every time I click on something, pop-up ad here, and pop-up ad there. This just ruined a perfectly good types of games. FIX IT!

### 1/5 — Worst game ever

*2016-11-29*

I love these types of games, HOWEVER this particular game is beyond horrible!!! Cannot play with out a pop up add EVER 2 seconds! NOT EXAGGERATING! I deleted within the first min of frustrating pop ads. I won't ever play a game from this developer nor the pop up ad games just out of spite

### 1/5 — Fake Game

*2016-11-04*

This is not a game, it is a pop-up ad bomb.

### 2/5 — Плохо!

*2016-10-25, version 2.1*
