It’s just so annoying. It doesn’t even say do you want the hint? Yes or no? It’s so annoying but otherwise an amazing game. ### 4/5 — It’s great, but maybe could be more advanced *2025-11-28, version 1.1.9* I’ve loved this game since I was 3, I’m 10 now, I’ve realised that it’s not exactly as fun anymore. I understand that it is possibly targeted to younger children, but I think an improvement would be extending the age level to make it more interesting for older children. ### 4/5 — Me do puzzel *2025-08-11, version 1.1.9* Puzzel me like puzzel ### 5/5 — Great simple game *2024-04-21, version 1.1.9* Quite literally it ### 4/5 — Good but… *2023-12-09, version 1.1.9* This game is good but I feel like there could be more don’t get me wrong I love this game and the colours but there feels like something else could be added to the game for example maybe a few mini games were you mine the pieces you use for the puzzle or a goal what’s the reason we are here. Over all I think this is a good game keep up the good work.❤️👍🏼 ### 5/5 — Beautiful artwork *2023-12-07, version 1.1.9* Great game to play while you’re listening to an audiobook ### 5/5 — Good Game *2023-11-28, version 1.1.9* Simple yet effective and challenging and very importantly help when you need it. As in the answers. So the game doesn't stop, love it! ### 5/5 — Loving it *2023-02-15, version 1.1.9* Simple but perfectly executed. Relaxing even when frustrating. ### 5/5 — Frustrating, but in a good way *2023-01-27, version 1.1.9* So I originally had this game (and it’s two sequels) back in like ‘17? And loved them. Decided to find them again. I love that your can play about four games before an ad. Nd so far they all only seem to be about 5 seconds long. Which is amazing since a lot of games have ridiculously long ads The hints are great. In some games I only need in. In some I needed all four. It is also very fun to see if I can remember the correct configuration. Sometimes I get it super fast. And other times…. Lol glad I found it again ### 5/5 — Very good for problem solving *2023-01-23, version 1.1.9* Great game ! Sharpens your skills ### 5/5 — Worth doing *2022-12-06, version 1.1.9* I like this game a lot. No cheats like some I’ve played. Simple puzzles but progress harder. Love the fact that when I’m really stuck I can get hints without paying or watching numerous ads. Definitely worth downloading, makes u think. ### 5/5 — Love this game,fun to play,colourful graphics *2022-07-27, version 1.1.9* Love this game ,fun to play ,colourful graphics , ### 5/5 — Fair Game *2022-05-21, version 1.1.9* This is a great game! The puzzles are challenging but not impossible. Also, unlike most backgammon games, it plays fair and doesn’t cheat to defeat you. Ever notice that for most backgammon games if you get ahead the game has a sequence of virtual impossible rolls? ### 4/5 — Montezuma *2021-09-10, version 1.1.9* This a good game to keep your mind occupied even when it can be frustrating to complete it. ### 5/5 — The greatest puzzle game. *2021-07-21, version 1.1.9* I love this game. It starts off easy, but gets more difficult as you progress. The music is relaxing and modern. If you like jazz, you’ll enjoy the music. I highly recommend this game. ### 5/5 — L̸o̸v̸e̸ *2021-06-03, version 1.1.9* I really love the game, I don’t mind ads so for my this is really fun! My parents always tell me I have to do more puzzles and stuff so when I found this it was a FUN puzzle and it mad my parents happy!! Anyway O also like how there are three more so that cool! ### 5/5 — GET IT! *2021-03-28, version 1.1.9* Great game. Challenging, a good way to exercise your spatial cognizance. ### 3/5 — Restore Purchases doesn’t seem to work *2021-03-02, version 1.1.9* Used to love this puzzle. Since reinstalling it ads pop up and tapping restore purchases makes no difference at all. ### 5/5 — Good for you brain *2020-12-28, version 1.1.9* It’s reallly fun and it’s good for your. Brain ### 5/5 — Great Game *2020-12-28, version 1.1.9* Fun to pass time with really fun!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — TO MUCH ADDS!!!!!! *2018-11-26, version 1.1.7* I was playing this game this morning and then every level it had ADDS!!!! SO ANNOYING MAKE IT STOP!!!!! ### 1/5 — Lots of ads *2018-07-03* I got to play all of one simple little puzzle and suddenly there was this full page ad that showed up that was not able to be dismissed. I had to wait for it to dismiss it self. After playing the other games and enjoying the puzzles… I thought I would pick up the first version and was immediately disappointed. My advice? It’s not worth your time ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2018-02-06, version 1.0.9* Ansouliye rubbish... advert after nearly ever level also loads of adverts with hints aswell... very hard to play as they keep popping up ### 1/5 — Shocking *2017-12-26, version 1.0.9* I really enjoyed this game but now you can't get through one puzzle without being bombarded with ads for other puzzles. The game is not worth playing anymore. ### 1/5 — Ads immediately upon opening *2017-10-04, version 1.0.8* The game opened an ad immediately upon opening. Didn't watch the ad or play the game because they creators don't value my time. ### 1/5 — Unplayable *2017-08-08, version 1.0.8* The ads keep crashing the app, becomes frozen. Have to quit the app to get back in. Happens about 4 out of 5 times ### 1/5 — Aaaaaaahhhhhhhhh *2017-02-02, version 1.0.6* How much longer to update its being awhile and tired of the coming soon level how much longer tired of replaying the ones done ### 1/5 — Lots of bugs and ads *2016-02-04, version 1.0.6* Author has developed this game just to quickly make money. The game is full of ads, popping up when you try to tap The controls are terrible- pieces position is shifted when you drag them. It seems like the author have never executed it on iPhone ### 2/5 — Annoying *2019-10-26, version 1.1.8* It keeps on crashing ### 2/5 — MontezumaPuzzle *2019-03-10, version 1.1.8* I am rating this game so low because of the many interruption you have to deal with while playing it. It is also frustrating when the bricks won’t go into place because they continuously keep flicking back into their spaces. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — MUSIC 10/10 *2025-08-26, version 1.1.9* Just for some context about maybe four or five maybe even 6 to 7 years ago I used to play this game as a kid and then I deleted it off my iPod touch and now I am 21 and the music has been haunting me for years and I finally found this app again and I feel at peace. ### 5/5 — Classic, Great Game *2025-07-26, version 1.1.9* This Game brings me back, many years ago playing this game this music takes me back to a good relaxed tome in my life, and every time i play this, i cant stop but to time travel when time was good, much better, less stress, I will always be thankful for this. Game there is mone like this. ### 5/5 — Best carlming down game *2025-07-19, version 1.1.9* Best game ever couldn’t get enough of this game ### 5/5 — Montezuma 3 *2025-06-03, version 1.1.9* I enjoy the puzzles. ### 5/5 — Forever *2025-04-26, version 1.1.9* Been playing since I had my iPod touch when I was a child, love the nostalgia & the music ### 5/5 — Sugerencia *2025-03-25, version 1.1.9* Excelente juego pero ninguno supera Van Pershing actualicen el juego por favor ### 5/5 — Monumental *2025-02-25, version 1.1.9* I have come back to this game over and over again over the course of 10 years. I used to play on my iPod touch when I was in high school and I redownload it periodically. Everything about this game makes you feel like you’re reaching enlightenment. It has the best song ever made. Want to instantly relax? Play this song. I have literally kept the app on just to listen to the song. Then you get to the puzzles. Solving each puzzle makes you feel like you’re eating pop rocks for your brain. Fireworks of wisdom tickling your smooth brain. Absolute bliss. This game holds the secrets of the world and they’ve crushed them finely and sprinkled them all over this app. ### 5/5 — So nostalgic *2024-09-03, version 1.1.9* I had this game when I was little for the longest time, and I only just recently found it in my download history. This game holds a part of my childhood memories especially with that music playing in the back as you play the game (someone please find out what the name of the music is, I wanna add it to my playlist😭) yes this game is kinda annoying with the adds and a little bit annoying that the blocks aren’t that sensitive to movement, so it’s kinda hard to move a little bit. But really other then that I LOVE THIS GAME and it will forever Remind me of younger me, sitting on the couch with my crusty iPad playing this game with the music in the background.❤️ nostalgic ### 5/5 — Montezuma puzzle *2024-08-19, version 1.1.9* Love this game. It’s relaxing to play and challenging too. I always play my games with the volume turned off so I haven’t heard the loud ads that people are talking about. All free games have ads. ### 5/5 — Favorite of all time *2024-06-27, version 1.1.9* I have been playing this game for YEARS. Like since I had a flip phone! The music is so soothing and constantly loops so you don’t even get annoyed by it. I love how challenging it is, and endless hints is great. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
