### 4/5 — Fun, but I didn’t buy

*2026-04-17, version 1.2.6*

You get to play the first part with 3 levels for free, but I didn’t buy the upper levels. It was fun with some puzzles that made me do some thinking to figure out.

### 3/5 — Like the puzzles

*2026-02-23, version 1.2.6*

Getting thru levels was good.  I hated the brief case.  Having to keep selecting it, even though I was on correct level to use it.  Glitch on level 8 .

### 4/5 — Hints

*2026-01-29, version 1.2.6*

I’m not sure if I’m missing something or not but there’s no way to even get a hint so if your stuck you are just stuck… and if I’m wrong and there is a way you need to make it more easily accessible

### 4/5 — Great game so far!

*2025-11-28, version 1.2.6*

I am enjoying the game but hints would be helpful when I am stuck!

### 4/5 — New

*2025-09-07, version 1.2.6*

I enjoy the game. Not too simple but not frustratingly difficult. Would be nice if there was a hint button.  It stinks that after Package 1 you have to pay for additional packages. Now I’m deleting.

### 4/5 — Hotel - fix fridge bug

*2025-06-09, version 1.2.6*

Multiple people have reported the bug here and probably in-app, too - please fix it with an update. Thank you.

### 4/5 — Please fix the glitch!!!!

*2025-02-05, version 1.2.6*

I love all the glitch games. But I’d love to finish this one and right now the glitch on the refrigerator in the hotel room makes it impossible to finish the level!

### 5/5 — Cool game. Try it, you’ll like it!

*2024-12-23, version 1.2.6*

Great game, not super challenging. Doesn’t ask for needless permissions to invade privacy. 5 out of 5 stars! Purchased second group of rooms to keep playing. Hard to come by a decent game nowadays. The change difficulty setting didn’t work when activated, the puzzles stayed the same.

### 5/5 — Great escapes

*2024-12-12, version 1.2.6*

The best part is to be able to take pictures of clues. You don’t have to go back and forth if you forget anything.

### 5/5 — Challenging and fun

*2024-12-07, version 1.2.6*

I love escape games, and these are great!

### 2/5 — Hint button missing

*2024-11-19, version 1.2.6*

I enjoyed the game at first but eventually got stuck and was not able to get any hints. I saw that In the app pictures there is a magnifying glass that did not show up on my screen. The hint acess was on in the settings. I tried reinstalling the app and it didn’t work. DEVELOPERS: I am using an iPhone SE and I have the latest version of the app. The button simply was not there.

### 4/5 — Great game but Glitch has a glitch!

*2024-11-04, version 1.2.6*

I’ve really enjoyed this game! Lots of puzzles that aren’t too easy! But the mini fridge in the Hotel has a glitch. I’m hoping this glitch will be resolved soon so I can finish playing the game pack I paid for!

### 2/5 — Performance Issue

*2024-10-31, version 1.2.6*

I can type into the computer on the office level but the numbers don’t show. I’ve seen someone else also have this issue. Hopefully it gets fixed as it is a great game! I enjoyed the lift level first and was quite disappointed when I ran into this issue and it put me off purchasing anything.
Please fix this issue!

### 5/5 — Yet more Glitch excellence

*2024-10-28, version 1.2.6*

I thought I’d played everything from Glitch, but had somehow neglected Great Escapes. Loving it.

### 5/5 — Well made

*2024-09-24, version 1.2.6*

Really enjoyed

### 5/5 — So much fun

*2024-09-24, version 1.2.6*

I’ve done a few escape rooms. Although I’ve done some challenging rooms, this one is by far the best. You must use your brain and utilize the clues! AWESOME!

### 1/5 — Okay

*2025-08-25, version 1.2.6*

It was ok because  the pictures gave away the answers to some of the parts

### 1/5 — Fix Game

*2025-07-19, version 1.2.6*

1/5. Game was great until I paid for the final pack and a glitch at the fridge won’t let you finish the round. Every time you try to input a code it gives a “sorry we glitched” do not pay for these until they fix it.

### 1/5 — Not good

*2025-07-15, version 1.2.6*

First, although there seems to be an option to get hints, it is impossible to figure out how to do so. Second, this game seems to be incredibly buggy. I tried several of the in game puzzles, solved them, and nothing happened. There was another where you had to input a room number and password into a computer, and when i typed them in, nothing showed up on the screen. Delete…

### 1/5 — 😡🤬😡🤬😢

*2024-09-28, version 1.2.6*

Don’t play this game is soo bad I want the hole game

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2024-08-23, version 1.2.5*

I really like this game. I got through pack 1 and then I have to pay to play any more packs. Too bad. I don’t pay to play anything. Let me know if this changes and I will reevaluate it.

### 1/5 — Dumb

*2024-03-16, version 1.2.4*

Really a stupid, not even a game.

### 1/5 — Camera not working

*2024-02-09, version 1.2.4*

Second Glitch game I’ve tried to play where the camera doesn’t work- please fix

### 1/5 — Kamera Funktion kaputt

*2024-02-08*

Leider sind alle geschossenen Fotos schwarz, sodass die Hinweise nicht genutzt werden können und das Spiel unspielbar ist. Schade, da forever lost sehr viel Spaß gemacht hat.

### 1/5 — Buggy, uninspired

*2024-02-01, version 1.2.4*

I came across this type of genre with games like the Room and the rusty lake games.  This one is just okay.  The puzzles are boring, and the game is unpolished and buggy.  The camera does not work, the UI gets in the way of the game, and the hint system is not good.

### 1/5 — Camera

*2024-01-16, version 1.2.4*

When I take a picture of the clues the image is black, why doesn’t it work ?

*2026-05-13, version 1.2.6*

I like theses escape puzzle games. Good job!!

### 5/5 — Nice puzzler

*2026-05-02, version 1.2.6*

I am really enjoying this escape game.  I have played others and find this one comparable to them.  I love the free first 3 scenes and have finished 2 so far.  Will gladly buy the add-ons.

### 5/5 — Hello

*2026-03-21, version 1.2.6*

Hello

### 5/5 — Amazing Game

*2025-11-29, version 1.2.6*

This game really got you thinking about what to do next, even when you don’t do something right and it just feels like you did you just gotta think about the small stuff. Amazing I would say :D

### 5/5 — So fun

*2025-11-15, version 1.2.6*

I like it so much

### 5/5 — Awesome Game

*2025-09-08, version 1.2.6*

You Gotta Play It

### 5/5 — Great Escapes

*2025-05-31, version 1.2.6*

Yay

### 5/5 — Games were great except for one glitch!

*2025-02-16, version 1.2.6*

All the games were fun and engaging. The only one I had problem with was the bunker game where you solve the puzzle in the bedroom with the record player. I’m on iPhone 16 Pro - iOS 18.3.1 and the puzzle box on the floor doesn’t allow me to select the square in the upper right corner because the Settings gear icon is in the way. I’m not able to workaround this glitch and unable to escape 😫

### 5/5 — AWESOME GAME

*2025-01-06, version 1.2.6*

This game is really cool I love it! I love escape rooms that are fun and hard. The developer made this game very fun and enjoyable.

### 5/5 — Great escape game

*2024-12-31, version 1.2.6*

I've tried many escape games and this is one is probably my favorite.
