First, it seems like it’s using a horrible webview box to get it to load within. Doesn’t fit the screen so you have so much black around sides. I tried to look past that, saying no big deal. It only gets worse. When you’re playing the game, the music is a horrible loop that repeats and you can here it start over every several seconds.They should have used a loop that seamlessly repeats without notice. Now let’s get into the game itself. The game is amateurish at best. Very simple and graphics are horrible, looks like an old PC game or something you’d see on a windows mobile phone when that came out. I really was hoping for something good, especially after playing Haunted Manor 2 and beating it. It seems no game can compare to that professionally designed and thought out game. I’ll keep looking though. I had to delete this game after 10 minutes. I just couldn’t anymore. ### 2/5 — Still freezes on level 4 *2022-01-08, version 1.4* Game is great on levels 1-4, but seems like even after two years, the level 4 bug isn’t fixed. Solved level four, but can't walk through the door like I could in levels 1-3. ### 2/5 — Door opens but escape doesn’t happen *2020-10-10, version 1.4* When you have solved a room, a door opens with a bright light coming through it. We solved 4 rooms on 2 different iOS devices and the 4th room (spaceship in 2085) and the door opens but you can’t go through it. ### 2/5 — Freezes after level 4 *2020-07-16, version 1.4* The game won’t let me walk through the door after I finish level four. I’ve tried deleting, restarting my phone, and reinstalling the app and after every time it doesn’t let me go past level four. ### 3/5 — It’s not that good *2020-05-16, version 1.4* There are no hints and u have to pay for a walkthrough. I can’t get past level 4. ### 3/5 — Fix level 4! *2020-04-21, version 1.4* It’s a good game but at level four it doesn’t let me pass the level! How am I supposed to go to level 5! Fix this ### 4/5 — Cool game *2020-03-29, version 1.4* Cool game ### 3/5 — Good game but.... *2020-02-21, version 1.4* Seems like a good game but can’t access past level 4, solved level 4 several times but won’t let me go to 5. I see other(s) who’ve had similar problem.... have to delete as useless if I can only play 4 levels over and over again. ### 2/5 — Freezes on level 4 *2019-09-29, version 1.4* Stopped working ### 4/5 — cant get past level 4 *2019-09-04, version 1.4* its easy but i cant get past the door ### 3/5 — G *2019-09-01, version 1.4* Needs to be better when it comes to explaining things ### 2/5 — Seems cool *2019-08-10, version 1.4* Will not save my progress. Keeps starting me over at level 1 ### 1/5 — Escape history *2019-07-12, version 1.4* Enjoying the game until level four on the space station found everything ,completed everything opened the door and the game crashed couldn’t escape, I retried three times and it was the same result, very disappointing 😫 ### 1/5 — Four level freeze *2019-07-10, version 1.4* Freezes after level four. Can solve, the door opens, but then...nothing. ### 2/5 — Space Level Glitch? *2019-07-02, version 1.4* Got through the space level but nothing happens when I try to walk through the door. Don’t even get a prompt to buy more levels, it just freezes. Have replayed the level three times and nothing. It’s not the hardest escape room game, but it’s fun. Wish I could unlock more levels. ### 3/5 — Keeps freezing! *2019-06-25, version 1.4* First of all just like to say enjoyed what iv played so far. But iv replayed level 4 20 times and it keeps freezing once I try to go through the door. It not like the game completely freezes, I’m still able to open the menu and go back to the main menu. It just ever time I click tap on the open door it makes the completed sound them nothing. Which is a shame because I love escape game and was very much enjoying this one. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2019-06-23, version 1.4* Paid for all levels and game will not open ALL levels. I was only able to play 1-4, 10 and 13. Walkthroughs open all levels just not able to play. Do you even read this. ### 3/5 — Shame *2019-06-20, version 1.4* Good try ,but there is no escape from level 5, just spotted drastic oranges post in August saying the same thing,wish I had spotted that before getting the walkthroughs to check....... ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Crash *2023-01-26, version 1.4* Can’t get through the portal at the end of part 4. The game is broken and boring. Doesn't worth the money. ### 1/5 — Froze at level 4 *2021-10-16, version 1.4* Games freezes at level 4. Reloaded and replayed. Still froze ### 1/5 — Can not go further than level 4 *2020-09-14, version 1.4* Unfortunately it keeps freezing on level 4 portal and I can not get any further.wish I could get my money back ### 1/5 — Froze at Level 4 *2020-06-07, version 1.4* The game started off great but froze at Level 4. I deleted and reinstalled the app and replayed but it froze at the same spot. ### 1/5 — READ THE REVIEWS *2020-02-01, version 1.4* I should’ve read the reviews before paying money to this app!! Level 4 won’t let me go through the door despite completing the level!! I paid for all the levels and no ads but now I cant play any of them. Wish I could get my money back, what a waste >:( ### 1/5 — Freezes on Level 4 *2020-01-21, version 1.4* Same as some of the other reviews. Freezes after completing level 4 and can’t walk through the door. Disappointing. ### 1/5 — Purchase didn’t work. Glitch *2020-01-01, version 1.4* I bought levels 5 onward. However, even though I passed level 4 (opened the door). I’m unable to exit through the door and thus can’t play any of the levels I spent money on. Was good until then, so just don’t pay for anything I suppose. ### 1/5 — Level 4 Glitch *2019-12-26, version 1.4* I’m finished level 4 and have pressed everywhere on the shining door out and it does nothing. I’ve tried multiple times and am crazy frustrated. Sounds and plays like a great game but I can’t play it. ### 1/5 — Don’t bother *2019-08-20, version 1.4* It doesn’t progress further than the fourth room. Scam. ### 1/5 — Freezing problems *2019-07-21, version 1.4* Good game but won't let me go through level 4 door. Keeps freezing even though I completed level. Tried many times ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Greatest game ever! *2024-12-12, version 1.4* Most awesome game ever I’m 10 and this is the best! ### 5/5 — Very good *2019-06-22, version 1.4* Fun and wild and weird. ### 5/5 — Montana *2019-02-21, version 1.4* Great ### 5/5 — Great but, *2018-08-04, version 1.4* On level 5 there is a bug where you can’t go into the portal. ### 5/5 — Fun escape game! *2018-02-17, version 1.4* Not difficult but tricky; fun game. ### 5/5 — My review *2016-10-01, version 1.3* Excellent game ### 5/5 — Just right! *2016-04-15, version 1.3* Clever puzzles that make you think, but the clues are straight forward rather than obscure and frustrating like some other escape games. Well done! ### 5/5 — love *2016-04-13, version 1.3* love this game ### 5/5 — Excellent Game *2016-03-17, version 1.3* A little simple but every now and then pretty difficult. A good balance that I enjoyed playing. Buy the "all in" package, it makes the game as smooth as it can get. ### 5/5 — Great game *2016-02-22, version 1.3* Enjoyed this game - bought the extra levels as well. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
