Could you at least make where I have to watch ads for a few more minutes? ### 3/5 — Great game but… *2025-04-14* The game is great but you have to pay to get more time and the enigma module is too complicated and confusing ### 5/5 — Tolles Game *2024-07-13* Habe das Spiel schon zahlreiche Male in Workshops und in Vorlesungen genutzt. Es kam immer super an und die Teilnehmenden hatten Spaß. Was will man mehr. ### 5/5 — Communication *2023-11-30* Use as communication exercise for crew good value ### 5/5 — Absolutely incredible *2023-06-27* The intense gameplay and endless amounts of combinations of modules and solutions make for hours of fun and I just LOVE the attention to detail with the graphics, sounds and over all realism. ### 1/5 — Can’t buy the app *2023-04-27* When I try to pay for the app, on iPhone I get the message “in-app purchase failed”. The same message appears to all my friends with IOS phones. ### 5/5 — Fun *2021-11-19* Fun to play in class ### 5/5 — Knobelspaß für Teams *2021-07-11* Wir spielen die Level regelmäßig zu 3./4. und haben ordentlich Spaß dabei. Die Erweiterung lohnt sich definitiv & der Schwierigkeitsgrad steigt proportional zu höherem Level - Level17 fanden wir bisher am anspruchsvollsten … ## Frequently asked questions about Escape the BOOM! ### How do you play Escape the BOOM!?
