### 2/5 — The game is fun but…

*2025-07-03, version 0.9.3*

The game is fun. I am not sure it is a bug or what but after unlocking the stocker for toilet paper on a new area, the stocker NEVER go to the area and had to manually stock the item. I’ll continue play the game after the developer fix this.

### 2/5 — Cleaners and restockers

*2024-09-09, version 0.9.3*

The cleaners and restockers only work in main hallway and the first shower. Completely neglecting the hallways. It’s kinda annoying after awhile.

### 1/5 — Wenig innovativ und fehlerhaft

*2024-08-18, version 0.9.3*

Ein typischer „Saygames“ Clon mit den selben fragwürdigen Zwangswerbungssystem. Mehr als eine Stunde ist es nicht spielbar. Danach wird man alle paar Sekunden mit Werbung zugebombt. Das man für div. Booster auch die Restzeit mit Werbung sehen verbringen kann erklärt sich von selbst.
Dieses Spiel ist fehlerhaft. Alle Texte sind verbuggt. So kann man nur #!# irgend ein code #!# lesen. So kann man nur raten was man erledigen soll.

### 2/5 — Needs work but has potential.

*2024-08-17*

I normally love games by Digital Things. I can see the potential in this game but it is not the same type of game I would expect from them, nor is it the same quality. Firstly, I wouldn’t recommend the premium bundle including the speed boost and no ads. I thought I would get value out of it but was disappointed. I don’t know what ads you miss by buying this. I played the game for a while before buying the package. There were no forced ads - only ads if you want the various boosts. As such, I expected that I would not have to watch any ads. After purchasing the bundle, I still have to watch the ads if I want the various boosts. So exactly what did I pay for???  From other digital things games, normally you don’t watch any ads once you buy the no ads bundle. So watch out on this - and just don’t bother buying it. Also, the prison is sort of in 3 rows. The workers to replenish the toilet and showers in the central row (the one you access first) are the only ones that do anything. The ones on the rows at either side that you access as you progress just stand outside the supply room but don’t actually do anything. So I still have to run around replacing the toilet rolls and soap while they stand and do nothing. So again…..why did I bother upgrading them? I have upgraded everything in the game and there is nothing left to do. So I spent $30 on a bundle that doesn’t do anything and then I finished the whole game in a matter of a few hours. I am hoping that they fix the errors including not having to watch any ads and also add some additional content. Because so far I feel completely ripped off. I won’t automatically download any game from digital things in future. I would message them to report the bugs but there is no support link in the game. So here’s my review instead. Hopefully they check it. Will amend my review if the game improves over time.

### 1/5 — Not finished

*2024-08-08, version 0.9.3*

I upgraded everything, the workers don’t restock, the cleaners don’t clean half the rooms, there’s a room that’s just shut off and I can’t unlock quests or do anything anymore

### 1/5 — Ads are insufferable

*2026-07-18, version 0.9.3*

Forced ad every 2 minutes

### 1/5 — Advertisement

*2025-01-19, version 0.9.3*

Hello, the game is very bad!!! There are no advantages, only disadvantages
minuses: THERE ARE A LOT OF ADS, THERE ARE NO LANGUAGES OTHER THAN ENGLISH, THE GAME IS JUST A RE-DOWNLOAD OF THE SAME PRISON GAME. BOTTOM LINE, I DO NOT RECOMMEND DOWNLOADING

### 1/5 — Won’t load

*2024-12-21, version 0.9.3*

Every time I try to play one of these games I can’t get past the loading screen.

### 1/5 — Crashed

*2024-12-12, version 0.9.3*

Lost a lot of money

### 1/5 — An ok game by a scammy company

*2024-11-24, version 0.9.3*

The game is all right. Paying $10 to skip forced ads and being forced to watch them anyway is a scam. It’s bad enough that doesn’t skip all ads, but this company takes money and delivers nothing.

### 1/5 — Rendez nous  l’ancienne formule

*2024-10-22, version 0.9.3*

Noooon. Revenez à l’ancienne formule des jeux Tycoon. Ils étaient d’une grande qualité. Là on tombe dans les jeux bas de gamme qui pullulent sur le store.

### 1/5 — Savegame missing

*2024-10-08, version 0.9.3*

Been playing till level 5 then suddently back to level 1.. 

Too many forced ads, 10usd++ for it is too much

### 1/5 — Trop compliqué

*2024-09-22, version 0.9.3*

Le jeu est dur il faut bouger toutes les minutes dans les pièces. Je préfère les jeux à l’ancienne. Pourtant je suis un fan de la marque codigames 😁. Rester comme avant sa marche toujours ❤️

### 1/5 — The games got worse over time and this is the worst yet

*2024-09-09, version 0.9.3*

Please just make games like before. The hotel tycoon and the other tycoon games were so much better and were actually fun but the new games from this company just suck

### 1/5 — Very boring

*2024-09-02, version 0.9.3*

I played this game for quite a while, and it didn’t get more fun at all. I just didn’t find it fun!

### 5/5 — Игра топ

*2024-12-30, version 0.9.3*

Вообще нет рекламы только скачал вообще нет рекламы👍 Советую

### 5/5 — Great game

*2024-08-17, version 0.9.3*

I have not ran into any bugs great game

### 4/5 — Хорошая игра, но много рекламы

*2024-11-10, version 0.9.3*

Понимаю, что разработчикам нужно как-то зарабатывать деньги, но я считаю что показывать рекламу каждые 5 минут игры такое себе. Раньше в ваших играх реклама была только за награду, то есть пользователи сами выбирали, смотреть им рекламу или нет, но сейчас у них нет выбора.

### 4/5 — Fun…But! Ads impedes longevity

*2024-08-13, version 0.9.3*

This game is fun but the forced ads are way too frequent that I can’t see me playing long enough to decide whether I want to make in app purchases. You also don’t offer an option to remove ads without buying a ‘package deal’ at higher prices. It’s a shame because I am your target audience. I watch ads and I make in app purchases. TLDT; This is a fun game & I was enjoying seeing what unlocked as I levelled up but I think I’ll uninstall it quickly because of the frequency of the forced ads. You also lose sound when you’re forced to watch an ad so you have to restart and lose all progress.

### 4/5 — Fun and relaxing

*2024-08-13, version 0.9.3*

The game is fun and relaxing, it is very easy to beat. I would and will give 5 stars when there are more levels to play. I have maxed out everything in the game so far and can no longer proceed. Please make more levels to play.

### 3/5 — Looks good but…

*2025-02-21, version 0.9.3*

I like these kind of games. Paid for ad free. Seems to be a glitch with the stockers, who just huddle near the supply room and don’t actually move or restock anything. Also, I’ve maxed out the city prison but can’t see any way to progress to the next ones mentioned in the description. Hope I’ve not wasted money for a game that’s had no updates in 6 months.

### 3/5 — Already done

*2024-09-07, version 0.9.3*

It was a fun game. I have deleted it after only a week. By that time I had updated everything to its max and there are no new prisons to play. The bathroom stockers are the worst. They just stand around while all the bathrooms and showers need stocking. Other then that it was enjoyable. To bad there is nothing to do after you complete the one prison.

### 3/5 — Cleaners & stockers need a fix

*2024-08-20, version 0.9.3*

I noticed that the cleaners & especially the stockers don’t work in the expanded areas of the prison.  I always need to restock in those areas while the stockers are just standing around in the front area

### 3/5 — Fun game but needs more levels!

*2024-08-16, version 0.9.3*

Please make some new levels or new prisons!  I’ve already finished this one and now there’s nothing else to do as everything is maxed. Also please make the stockers able to carry even more and walk faster…it’s hard to keep up with the bathrooms and showers.

### 3/5 — Fix please

*2024-08-12, version 0.9.3*

Why does my guy walk like that 
And he walks so slow
