Definitely gets your brain working. However, it's a very short game n this really p€$^%ed me off!!! ### 2/5 — Crashed! *2012-11-28, version 1.4* I got half way through and then it just crashed, it wouldn't even reset so had to uninstall and it takes so long to load I couldn't be bothered doing it all again! ### 3/5 — A glimpse of potential. *2012-10-17, version 1.4* The loading times are the worst part of this game. In fact they are so infuriating that I have not and will not finish this game. Some of the puzzles aren't really logical and the pixel hunting aspect was the final straw. The game has the potential to be fun and interesting but the developer has fallen short by not fully considering user experience. I am not one to discourage indie game development, in fact I admire the effort but if you really want a lesson in how to make this type of game then check out Forever lost; the puzzles are creative and logical, the story is great and there are no loading times. ### 4/5 — Good *2012-10-11, version 1.4* Really good, makes you think a lot, only problem is that it loads a lot on everything you click on ### 4/5 — Love the game! *2012-10-04, version 1.4* Can't wait for the sequel but I hope they have an auto save. ### 5/5 — Great game *2012-09-18, version 1.4* Has a great story line. Can't wait for the sequel ### 4/5 — Yippee!! *2012-09-18, version 1.4* Finally a challenging game with great storyline, graphics, intrigue, puzzles, etc. Suggestion: would like to maybe have one hint offered when you went into a new room. Thank you to all the bloggers out there who 'helped' me with the next clue. You're awesome! Hope to read your hints for the sequel, 'cause I'm going to need them. 😜 ### 3/5 — Good puzzle *2012-09-16, version 1.4* I like this game but takes far too long to load and move from room to room. Hard puzzles but they can be figured out if u pay attention to the clues! I would recommend this game to anyone that has an abundance of patience! Please make the sequel faster and u will have a great game!!! ### 4/5 — Great *2012-09-08, version 1.4* I did enjoy this game bring on the sequel :) ### 5/5 — Awesome *2012-09-05, version 1.4* Great game, best room escape app so far. ### 5/5 — Great game *2012-08-20, version 1.4* Awesome!!!! ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2012-08-11, version 1.4* Amazing ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2024-12-06, version 1.6* I’ve closed and opened the game several times and it won’t start. I’ve deleted and reloaded the game several times and it still won’t start. The only thing that seems to be active on the opening page is the restart feature to make it even worse the yes or no option for restarting don’t work. Absolute waste of money. ### 1/5 — app does not work *2024-11-02, version 1.6* the app is broken, completely non-functional ### 1/5 — Refund can’t play game *2024-10-15, version 1.6* Bought and downloaded the game twice. Opens but does not let you play at all. I clicked app support and it says your blocked from the site ### 1/5 — El juego no inicia; *2024-09-12, version 1.6* El juego no arranca.🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬. ESTAFA. ### 1/5 — Can’t get passed start screen *2024-07-19, version 1.6* I press play on the menu and nothing happens ### 1/5 — Shame on you! *2013-02-15, version 1.4* Shame on you! It's the second time I 've downloaded this game and it still doesn't open. Find another way to steel money. The ethical thing to do is to refund me the money, if you want to be treated as professionals. ### 1/5 — Short *2013-01-28, version 1.4* Too short. Done in 30 min with bathroom break. Agh waist of money. Sad ### 1/5 — Don't waste 69p! *2012-10-28, version 1.4* This game is awful, Everytime you touch the screen to look at something or pick something up it take ages to load. The clues I've found don't make sense although maybe they would if I stayed focused but it's so frustrating waiting for it to work, tapping the screen over & over again, waiting for it to register. Also when I open it after a break it resets to the start, it doesn't save progress. gggrrrrrrr is all I have to say! Disappointed. ### 1/5 — Save your money and don't buy this game *2012-07-01, version 1.4* What a craptacular game! Slow, screens take forever to change, full of glitches. Tasks that meant to be done can't as it crashes. Seems like anyone can write a bad game and then sell it through apple. ### 1/5 — Pam@swad *2012-06-26, version 1.4* Rubbish! Annoying music, no clues, no hints and very slow responses. Have no idea how to move foward and to be honest have lost the will to live trying!!!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Laville *2013-05-04, version 1.4* Awesome game! Can't wait for the sequel!! ### 5/5 — The best!!!!!!!:D *2013-05-01, version 1.4* Escape from LaVille is the best puzzle game I've ever played! Best graphics, best clues, and ingenious puzzles. Please make the sequel a little longer than the first one though, aside from that, it's perfect. Only a stuck-up, over-confident puzzle genius would think to call it a waste of money!!! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2012-12-22, version 1.4* Love it. More please ### 5/5 — Good *2012-12-21, version 1.4* Seriously good game, hope the sequel will bring better graphics and faster load screens. It lacks a bit of interaction but the game is really good for adventure/horror type. ### 5/5 — Brilliant! :) *2012-11-27, version 1.4* I loved it! Hoping u make a sequel soon! :) thanks! ### 5/5 — One word 4 ya WOW *2012-10-24, version 1.4* Amazing tricky game with an awesome twist! I'm begging u , no I'm ordering u to make the sequel I will DIE if u don't !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But the clues are sumtimes impossible to figure out I had to go on a walkthrough a guzillion times Kay overall good job ( I LOVE the end twist ) ### 5/5 — Superb *2012-10-07, version 1.4* Excellent game, could be slightly quicker on the screen changes but overall brilliant. ### 5/5 — Escape from LaVille *2012-10-05, version 1.4* Awesome game. Loved every second of it, such a good twist at the end. Loved the puzzles. Can't wait for the sequel. X ### 5/5 — Good and spooky *2012-10-01, version 1.4* I enjoyed this and thought the puzzles were intriguing. 2 wishes-- I wish the game was longer and I wish the loading time going from room to room did not lag so much. Overall great game. And parts were pretty creepy. In a good way ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2012-09-20, version 1.4* Really nice graphics and very challenging! I loved it :) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
