The Educatjon Edition is an upfront purchase, for schools that cannot use in-app purchase. The regular edition has a free trial followed by a full-game unlock in-app purchase, which allows players to try the game fully first. Both have the same content.

Excellent

I adore this game. It’s addictive, very educational and really makes you think!

Toolbox의 Input에 직접적인 수정을 가해도 그게 제대로 반영이 안됩니다.

Great way to keep up training

This app is a great way to dust off your cybersecurity learnings and have a little fun along the way

Very addictive

What a very nice way to introduce people to hacking challenges and to think outside the box. It reminds me of all the challenges I’ve done in my life in cybersecurity hackathons. Very nice game. Superbe !

Suggestion

Its a good app, but ,, I'd like to add multilingual settings so that the interface supports other languages, including Chinese. This would make the app more popular worldwide.

Thoroughly fun and educating

This is an amazing game. Makes you feel like Jason Bourne with a computer sciences PHD :)
Very much fun, endless missions and very rewarding every time get to the solution.

Not to forget the quiz to get to new credits, which is full but entertaining computer security course as a free add on.

A MUST-HAVE!

I haven’t even finished the tutorials yet and I want to give a review! This is awesome! I will definitely be unlocking the rest of this game. I love games like this — and there are not enough of them. I want this game to be successful and by proxy, the developer — Please continue to develop this game and more games like it. I can tell that this was a serious labor of love. You have gold here, and I fully support your success. Thank you.

Thank you for writing this delightful review! Hacktivate was indeed a labor of love for me – I had an absolute blast designing the various challenges so they provided lots of variety for players (and taught real techniques rather than fake, “hand-wavy” computer science!), making sure they fitted into different themes across the regions, and also injecting bits of fun into them – you have no idea how many domain names I bought while I was making the game, so that folks who were curious about Hacktivate Radio, Goat Stare, and similar would not be disappointed 😅 Thank you for playing Hacktivate – I'm so glad you enjoyed it! 🙌

Very fun

Great but why is it paid I really wanted to play more 😭

Macht Spaß

Man lernt sehr viel dabei. Der einzige Kritikpunkt, den ich hätte ist, dass man im Tutorial die Hintergrundmusik nicht ausschalten kann, da im Tutorial das Settings-Icon noch nicht angezeigt wird. Das wird zum Problem bei den Audio-Rätseln, bei denen der Ton des Rätsels von der Musik überlagert wird. Und ein weiteres Problem ist, dass der Spielstand der Tipps (Hints) von iOS nicht auf Mac OS synchronisiert werden. Man muss die gleichen Fragen auf dem Mac noch mal beantworten, auch wenn man sie auf dem iPhone bereits gelöst hat. Ansonsten ist es ein super Spiel, das süchtig macht!

Very Nice Game!

It’s great and I learn a lot while playing. But could you add a settings button in game (while doing a challenge)?

My only complaint is the app crashes when I click the “get more hints options”
apart from that I love it

Thank you so much for playing Hacktivate! I’m sorry you hit a problem – I have tried to resolve it in the latest update, so hopefully that helps. If you continue to have problems, please email hello@hacktivate.app and I’ll do my best to help 🙌

Like the game, not the music

Love the game, but to turn the music off, you must skip the tutorial for the Settings option to appear. This is not very obvious and it would be better if the Settings were available through the menu bar as well.

Hello! I’m glad you’re enjoying the game. Thank you for your suggestion – the latest Hacktivate update adds a second Settings button during the tutorial, as requested. I hope this helps!

Really nice

I saw that app suggested and I’ve completed the tutorial in one seating! Wow that it’s so nice because you learn and at the same time you’re having fun. Great game for geek who love computer stuff.

Like the game, not the music

I’ve liked the game so far, but I really, really wish there was a way to turn off the music. I’d prefer to listen to something else while I play.

Awesome Puzzle Challenge

I used to compete with Cyber Skyline challenges and since graduating I miss completing cyber challenges without having to compete in a full CTF. This is exactly what I am looking for. One thing though, I played around with the hints and while clicking “get more hints” it crashes the app immediately and I am not able to get any more hints.

Could be good but…

The concept is interesting but how am I supposed to hear audio files if the background music won’t stop?
There’s no way to disable it

Hello! Sorry to hear you're having problems. Music and sound can be disabled just fine – if you're on Mac or iPad tap the Settings button then adjust levels however you want, and on iPhone tap the gear icon first then select Settings. However, the music is supposed to automatically pause when you go into any challenge with audio attached, and if it doesn't it's definitely a bug that I'd like to resolve. Could you email me at hello@hacktivate.app with some details, so I can investigate more? Thank you!
