### 4/5 — これも楽しい。

*2025-04-19*

サンダルのヒントと棒の使い道がわからなかった。まだ頭が固い。生き物のキャラが少なくてちょっと寂しかった。

### 3/5 — i would have given a better rating, yet…

*2024-01-31, version 1.0.1*

even though there appears to be an option to pay to remove ads…it does not function properly, so i had to sit through ads whenever i wanted a hint. also, there was a specific hint that had me stuck for a long time because it was not accurate : “there is a box near the surfboard beside the cottage. compare it’s height with the sandals under the hammock”. well the box near the surfboard required me to collect straws…which i was not yet able to do (figured out later), and the box that needed me to input the height of the sandals was on the window sill inside of the cottage!

### 4/5 — I love this so much

*2023-09-12, version 1.0.1*

This game is super amazing and super super awesome. I would definitely recommend getting it if you want something to challenge your brain. I would definitely add like levels to it so once you beat level one you can continue going on and on with different challenges because once you play the game it’s basically just the same thing over and over again but I would definitely recommend and I love this game so much.  :)

### 3/5 — A little too simple

*2023-07-24, version 1.0.1*

A little too simple

### 5/5 — ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜❤️‍🔥

*2023-07-06, version 1.0.1*

Love this game soo much! It’s not too hard but it still make you think. I love it soo much

### 3/5 — Make it more easy to understand

*2023-06-26, version 1.0.1*

It should be a little bit more fun and make some instructions on how to do some things like when You had to eat the popsicle and combined the screwdriver.

### 5/5 — Intriguing creative fun

*2023-06-16, version 1.0.1*

This game took some patient observation and creative thinking.  It was delightful to be tested by this game to see if I could spot the patterns and leads.  Very fun game for the night!

### 4/5 — 4/5 stars

*2023-05-14, version 1.0.1*

Very fun! Only takes about an hour to finish the game with a fun bonus level at the end. And quite a few ads

### 4/5 — Great puzzle and a really fun game!

*2023-05-07, version 1.0.1*

So it was fun and a little challenging not hard at all, I loved the game. Just would ask for less ad’s

### 5/5 — I 💛 Jammsworks!

*2023-05-03, version 1.0.1*

Island is an easier one by Jammsworks, but it was still challenging. I’m truly loving ALL of their escape games. Many escape games are too creepy for me (haunted houses, dilapidated hospitals), and many are too hard for me where I can’t figure out any of the clues at all. Jammsworks games are really challenging (but give you hints if you need them) and feature pretty and calm scenes (Islands, resorts, popular cities around the world, fairy tales). I’ve played several by this company and haven’t gotten bored yet. They’re always a challenge, but solvable, and fun and relaxing at the same time. I really love you, Jammsworks! Thank You for creating the best escape games! :)

### 5/5 — 재밌었어요

*2023-04-17*

약간의 생각과 힌트 없이도 풀어나갈 수 있어서 좋았어요.  그리고 음악이 잔잔해서 푸는 내내 바닷가에 와서 노는 듯 한 힐링하는 느낌을 받았어요.
좋은 게임 무료로 만들어주셔서 감사합니다.^_^
다음 게임도 많이 만들어주세요~~

### 5/5 — interesting and bueatiful music

*2023-03-07, version 1.0.1*

no annoying ads while playing but ads for clues，great

### 5/5 — Escape game island

*2023-02-23, version 1.0.1*

Doing pretty good with this game,,looked for a hint,,the box near the surfboard by the cottage doesn’t make sense..the box has 5 squares while there are 6 sandles,,the box for the sandles IS IN the cottage,,,NOT beside it!!!,,after figuring out the clues that were worded wrong,,I got through the game,,fun fun fun 😁😁😁😁😁

### 4/5 — I’m stuck

*2023-02-06, version 1.0.1*

Found a clue, tried using it on different things but I wasn’t able to move it so I got a hint and I’m still not able to use it. Not sure if I’m doing something wrong or the enlarged item is too enlarged which is preventing me from using it. Game has potential though.

### 5/5 — The best

*2023-01-20, version 1.0.1*

I have played several games by jammworks. All have been a lot of fun so far. They have just the right amount of difficulty without being so hard it’s not fun but frustrating. Highly recommend any game by this company.

### 5/5 — 이만한 방찰출게임 없음

*2023-01-18*

평소에 리뷰 귀찮아서 안쓴는데 이건 쓸정도로 매우 신선하고 재미있다. 한 사물을 한 번 풀고 나면 끝이 아니라 한 사물을 통해서 여러사지의 문제를 풀수 있게 만들었다는 것이 놀라웠고 말도 안되게 문제를 풀어내지도 않았으며 힌트 없이도 풀 수 있는 난이도 이다. 킬링타임 방탈출 게임으로 제격이다. 광고도 게임 몰입에 영향을 주지 않을 정도였다. 오프라인으로도 즐길 수 있는 이 게임을 안할 이유가 없다.

### 1/5 — iPhone Overheating

*2026-06-24, version 1.0.1*

Escape Game: Island made my iphone get extremely HOT!
After several tries, after cooling down, I finally just deleted the app. 
I’m trying another game from this developer to see if it happens again.

### 1/5 — I thought it might be rigged. So I beat the game and went back to check.

*2022-07-25, version 1.0.1*

Sure enough… this game is rigged to make you play ads. I spent hours… literal hours… (plane ride) 
And so when I landed I took a hint. And sure enough, things I tried all of a sudden worked. 
When I restarted the game, the very first clue you need didn’t work… so.. I clicked ‘hint’ watched the ad, and BAM! It worked. 
Screw that nonsense.

### 1/5 — How does this game work?

*2022-05-22, version 1.0.1*

The game does not work. I keep tapping objects but nothing happens. Please refund my money.

### 1/5 — Can’t assemble items

*2021-10-31, version 1.0.1*

was enjoying this game until I couldn’t assemble the items that went together. For example… the water gun. So now I am stuck. 

Epic fail. Deleted.

### 1/5 — Ugh annoying

*2021-09-17, version 1.0.1*

It’s no real help center if you’re really in a deadlock and can’t move anything ! I’ve been looking at the same hint for hours and using all the objects available just for nothing to work . I’m definitely ready to delete it at this point ! Good game but horrible support system .. at least offer a secondary hint if the first hint isn’t worth anything. Don’t waste your time !

### 1/5 — 문의

*2020-02-07*

아이템을 습득해서 사용하려면 어떻게 해야 해요? 다른 탈출게임들ㅇㅔ서는 그 아이템을 터치하면 줍게 되고 인벤창에서 사용하려는 아이템 선택 후 사용하려는 곳에 대고 터치하면 쓰게 되는 건데 여기는 발견만 하고 터치해도 반응이 없어서요.. 기타 안에 칼이 있어서 그걸 주우려고 아무리 탭해도 아무 반응이 없네요 어떻게 해야 하는지...

### 2/5 — Bummed

*2024-10-24, version 1.0.1*

I’m glad it’s free. Was very bummed at how quick it was over.

### 2/5 — It’s Gilligan’s Island 🏝️

*2024-08-12, version 1.0.1*

This game takes place on a fictional tropic Hawaiian island (similar to Gilligan’s Island) 🏝️ that I grew up watching on TV.

What makes this game interesting is that you can’t just unlock anything before finding the corresponding clues (which eliminates speed running).

So why did I rate it only two stars?
⭐️ = Very Challenging gameplay.
⭐️ = Bonus stage.

What went wrong?
🫣 = iPhone gets very hot. 🥵
🫣 = Battery drains very fast. 🔋⇢🪫
🫣 = Misspelling in the first hint.

I really like this game, but requires watching 30-second ads to unlock a hint.

To minimize the rapid battery drain, I recommend using Airplane Mode. ✈️

This tropical island theme is very interesting, but I deleted it because this is the ONLY GAME that drains the battery so fast.

All of my other games run without the battery drain.

Recommended: No.

### 2/5 — Puzzles make no sense

*2023-01-26, version 1.0.1*

This game was fine. Ads were not terribly intrusive. The puzzles were odd though: they made no sense. For example, why would a lock be keyed to the size of shark fins observed in the ocean? Don’t sharks swim around, changing the observation? And why did the code not work (brute force) until the fins were observed? It’s like the puzzled we’re generated by an algorithm instead of a storyteller.

### 2/5 — Trouble attaching 2 items together

*2022-05-28, version 1.0.1*

I have the water gun and the attachment but it doesn’t work. Please fix. Also way too many ads!

### 5/5 — 最高すぎる

*2026-06-20*

このゲームのアロハ版をやったことあるんだけど、それが楽しすぎてこのゲームをプレイしたんだけどやっぱり楽しいから、入れようか迷ってる人はいれたほうがいいと思います‼️

### 5/5 — グラフィクも可愛い

*2026-03-29*

アイテムを結びつけるのも、
回答がドンピシャなものなので納得してスッキリします。
他のゲームでは、え？これなの？というモヤモヤしたものがなく簡潔で気持ちの良いゲームでした。

### 5/5 — Potato

*2025-12-21, version 1.0.1*

Potato

### 5/5 — POTATO

*2025-12-21, version 1.0.1*

### 5/5 — センス👍

*2024-04-08*

発想が天才的！！

### 5/5 — Love!

*2024-03-02, version 1.0.1*

This company makes the best games ever! If you are stuck you can watch a video and get a hint. I have enjoyed every single one I have played so far. Thank you guys.

### 5/5 — This is a great game.

*2023-12-10, version 1.0.1*

This game is easy to play and the graphics are awesome. Thanks for making it.

### 5/5 — Как всегда отлично

*2023-10-20*

Очень интересная игра

### 5/5 — Loved this clever puzzle.

*2023-09-03, version 1.0.1*

Lots of interesting twists. Hope there is more to come.

### 5/5 — First impression last night, nope

*2023-08-19, version 1.0.1*

But perhaps that was just bcuz I was tired.  This morning I started playing it and really enjoyed it!  I had to watch a video twice for hints which without them I would still be trying to solve it.  I liked how each area is easily navigated and connected.  Overall, pretty dang fun and even the lil bonus game was fun, so much so that I did it twice!!!
