This one lacks intuitive feel ### 3/5 — Not worth the money *2025-11-29, version 1.0* Game was fun definitely not worth paying $10.00 for it. Specially when it won’t let me do the last puzzle. ### 2/5 — Ridiculous! *2025-01-29, version 1.0* I like a challenge but this game borders on ridiculous. I had a hard time even with the answers. Good luck. I trashed it ### 2/5 — Sieht schön aus, aber unhandlich *2024-08-15* Ich liebe Rätselspiele, aber ich muss feststellen, dass ein Rätsel dieser Komplexität einfach nichts für den kleinen Bildschirm ist. Ich steckte wahnsinnig oft fest, einige Rätsel blieben mir selbst beim Nachsehen der Lösung noch ein Rätsel. Schade! Ich glaube eigentlich, in solchen Rätseln geübt zu sein… ### 4/5 — Sehr gut *2024-08-04* Ansich liebe ich diese Exit Games. Allerdings sind die ersten Hinweise die man freischaltet, ein Witz, das wusste ich immer schon selbst. So das man Hinweis 2 freischalten muss und das kostet einem am Ende Punkte. Wäre hilfreich wenn im 1. Hinweis schon mehr Info wäre ### 3/5 — Exit the griffin *2024-01-03* Joa war schon cool, an einem Abend durchgespielt, allerdings ziemlich tranige Musik und wenige Überraschungsmomente oder mal was zum Lachen. Deswegen nur 3 Sterne, Preis ist in Ordnung! ### 5/5 — Please make more! *2024-01-02, version 1.0* Love this adventure game, very, very well done! ### 5/5 — Absolutely excellent *2023-12-21, version 1.0* Really loved this, a perfect addition to (hopefully) the series, I loved the first game too. Nice story with great narration, I think previous reviewer is being picky over vocabulary. I found his voice relaxing and the amount of narration just right. The puzzles were really unique and I even had a nice surprise at one bit that I wasn’t expecting, so clever! I didn’t want it to end, superb and definitely worth the small price! Bravo! Why do ppl pull down a brilliant game because you need to use your brain a bit 🙄 it means we lose out on excellent games and only have generic rubbish , I found it very logical! I wish I could give more stars to make up for the idiots, please make another game they are fabulous! Isuppose it’s to be expected from someone called marktheduck. ### 5/5 — epic *2023-12-05, version 1.0* The creators did astounding work yet again. I keep looking forward to new Exit Games, physical and virtual. Please release more soon! If you cannot solve the clues, try playing an easier Exit Game before doing this one. These are for experienced escape artists. Loved it! ### 5/5 — Knackige Rätsel, super Sound = günstiger Preis! *2023-11-30* Einfach klasse! Tolles Spiel und knackige Rätsel! Sound und Grafik sind klasse! Ich hoffe sehr auf mehr von den EXIT Games! Einfach jeden Cent wert! Ein großes Kompliment an die Hersteller. ### 2/5 — Warnung - Auf iPad leider nicht spielbar *2023-10-10* Ich habe, nachdem ich über 2 Stunden nicht weitergekommen bin die Lösungen aufgerufen und festgestellt das ich zur Lösung etwas mit meinem Endgerät machen muss. Das geht leider NICHT mit dem iPad, daher ist das Game hier zu Ende. Bitte patchen ! ### 5/5 — Difficult but so worth it! *2023-10-10, version 1.0* I spent a lot of time on this digesting the clues and finally coming to the solution. So satisfying. At the beginning it was announced clues were immersed throughout the whole software, so one must keep that in mind. I wish reviewers wouldn’t give a low score because they couldn’t solve the puzzles. Everyone just had to be thought through out of the box which made it so enjoyable. Than you developers for an A+ quality game! ### 2/5 — Naja *2023-10-09* Ich habe jedes einzelne Exit Game in “fester” Variante von euch gespielt. (Außerdem denen für kinder) und ich war jedes Mal begeistert wie geschickt ihr alles mit einbezieht. Sobald es ein neues gibt spiele ich es. So sehr liebe ich die Spiele. Von einfachen bis Schweren Rätseln ist immer alles dabei. Einfach perfekt! Dagegen kann mich die online Variante leider nicht überzeugen. Nicht jedes Rätsel ergibt für mich einen kompletten Sinn. Die Steuerung hakt teilweise extrem wie beim Teleskop. Und jetzt (ich schließe noch nicht aus dass es zum Rätsel gehört) Fehler im Text. Ich hoffe die gehören dazu. Zutrauen würde ich es euch😜 aber alles in allem bleibe ich lieber bei der anderen spielvariante, die macht mir deutlich mehr Spaß! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Having trouble *2026-06-29* I find the puzzles challenging, which is fun. However, I’ve gotten to the stage of chasing the ghost to open the hall door. I can’t proceed even with all the hints. I searched a walkthrough on line and can see from the accompanying images that I should be able to see the ghost with the adder stone. I do not, so I’m unable to complete the sequence and proceed with the game. I’d like some help or a refund of my purchase. ### 1/5 — Awful *2025-12-27, version 1.0* This game was ridiculous. You have to change your profile name? ### 1/5 — Skip it *2025-10-25, version 1.0* Game is not intuitive at all. Need to rely on hints to figure out what the game wants you to do. Waste of $ ### 1/5 — Exit *2024-09-30* Ce jeu est nul !! Déception totale ### 1/5 — Not A Fan *2024-07-15, version 1.0* I’m not a fan of this game. I don’t believe it’s worth the money that you have to pay for it. All of the puzzles seem the same and it’s not very entertaining. I wish I could get my money back. ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2024-03-24, version 1.0* Just does not work… ### 1/5 — Obscure puzzles *2023-11-01, version 1.0* Prefer a bit more logic to puzzles than the ones in this game, sorry! ### 1/5 — Completely stupid *2023-10-03, version 1.0* The puzzles have to logic, so far from games like the Room they try to emulate ### 1/5 — I want my money refunded *2023-04-26, version 1.0* It doesn’t matter if the case is open or closed the ghost doesn’t open the large door! There is no indication given as to where the ghost is hiding. ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money *2023-04-17, version 1.0* This is full of obtuse clues that are deliberately misleading. It seems like it’s designed to get users to watch ads or pay for hints. Either way, it feels like solutions are random and not meant to be solved. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Better than I expected! *2025-10-06, version 1.0* Our family is huge fans of the exit box games, and we were hesitant to buy the app version because we weren't sure it would be as good. But this is just as good and so much fun! I hope you make more! ### 5/5 — Worth the Time *2025-08-08, version 1.0* Every now and then I check to see if USM has put out another EXIT game… if you like 1st person, puzzle, escape room type, adventure games, it’s a must play ### 5/5 — Big Fan! *2025-06-15, version 1.0* I have not ever taken the time to write a review before, but I really support this game and want people to know how well done it is! I LOVE playing the EXIT games, and was a little skeptical about ordering this game due to past experiences with puzzle games for my phone. Other games that I have downloaded always disappointed me. They were easy, and basically always directed me to the answer, like there is only one way to proceed. THIS game, however, actually made me think! I love it! I had to use the help function twice when I got stuck, which I HATE doing, but goes to show how challenging this game can be (I’m really smart and good with puzzles for calibration 😊). I really like this online version because of the portability. I bought both available games and am saving the second one for my upcoming vacation. The graphics are really good, the story is par for the course, and the puzzles are engaging. The team at EXIT has definitely impressed me with this game, and I really jope that they make many more!!! And maybe develop one that can be played with several players? Maybe one that is a bit more challenging, I really like the 5 dot ones!!!! ### 5/5 — Bitte weitere Exit Games *2025-04-29* Die Spiele sind großartig bitte mehr davon !!!! ### 5/5 — Wunderbares Spiel *2024-11-19* Es hat viel Spaß gemacht, die Rätsel zu lösen. Für mich war nicht immer alles so schlüssig erklärt und ich musste leider 8x die Hilfe bemühen, trotzdem ist dieses Spiel empfehlenswert und ich hoffe sehr, es kommen noch weitere dieser Art 😊 ### 5/5 — Bitte mehr davon! *2024-11-16* Schade, dass es nicht mehr dieser Games gibt. ### 5/5 — すごく難しいです *2024-10-29* 答えを見ても意味が分からないものもありました でも総じて面白かったです ### 5/5 — Excellent *2024-08-24* Excellent escape room game. Definitely not easy but a progressive hint system is available if you get stuck. ### 5/5 — Another Masterpiece *2024-08-06, version 1.0* If you are familiar with the “EXIT” games, this is an amazing virtual game. Great puzzles, great story. Very creative. Wish they do more games like this. ### 5/5 — Highly recommend!! *2024-02-10, version 1.0* So good and unique! Highly recommend this series! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
