### 1/5 — Not free, is misleading.

*2026-04-26*

I’m not playing this rubbish that pretends to be free until a few levels, then you must pay. I know they already have my download stat but there’s lots of their other games I won’t be playing and will tell my friends not to bother as well.

### 4/5 — Timeless Mind

*2026-02-12*

The clue AACH & AAHC do not match.  Which one is correct?

### 2/5 — Poor math

*2025-10-25*

Unfortunately, a lot of the puzzles are wonky, not working or the math is wrong. No way to skip and no meaningful hints. Just riddles.

### 5/5 — Mystery Box 4

*2025-09-29*

I really like these games and team who makes them, some of my favorites.

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for your feedback, happy you like my puzzle games!

### 3/5 — Space for improvements

*2025-06-01*

It‘s doesn‘t seem to be made for a tablet, where you are used to pinch your fingers to zoom in and out, not double tap. It‘s a bit inconvenient. I‘m not through yet, however, I don‘t illogical things like in the beginning where you see those three silver things, which were behind a small lid, and just because they are three it has to mean something. How would you know without the game telling you? Next is the 4 sliders puzzle where you have no hint for what to set here. OK, four sliders aren‘t that many of combinations to try. Last, but not least, the zoom level is too small. On an 11“ tablet, those celtic (?) runes on those wheels are so small you barely recognize them. The very last thing: some wrong translations to German. Example: column -> Säule, not Spalte.

### 1/5 — Waste of money!

*2024-09-23*

No storyline and ridiculous puzzles! Save your money!

### 1/5 — Frozen.

*2024-09-12*

Game puzzle was solved, but game refused to continue, had to abandon. Made my complaint through official Apple procedures and as expected, no response, Lost my money, nice scam.

### 2/5 — All a bit vague

*2024-04-17*

Not very satisfying to play, and doesn’t flow in the way games like‘the room’ does.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your review, I appreciate it as I collect all feedbacks to improve my games

### 1/5 — Needs work

*2024-01-27*

Poorly designed graphics. A 4 at time looks more like a y. The letters and numbers don’t always match what they are.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback, really appreciated. feel free to get in touch at https://xsgames.co I'll be glad to get more details about your issue to improve the game ;)

### 5/5 — Absolutely superb!

*2023-12-27*

Mystery box 4 is even better in every way than the others which also were great but 4 is bigger and better with more puzzles, excellent graphics, lots to look at and try around the boxes, I’m loving it so much, I will definitely be buying all from this developer! 😃

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback, happy to see you loved this 4th chapter of the series! A new chapter is on its way, stay tuned ;)
