Bugged puzzles

It seems like the majority of boxes are bugged on this and cant be completed.

Challenging - Fun and Clever

Love this game - the puzzles aren’t super easy to figure out so you have to have your wits about you!

Response from developer

Thanks for your comment, glad you liked this puzzle game! Check out the other chapters of the series at https://xsgames.co for more fun ;)

Tutorial nicht in deutsch

Bei dieser Box ist das Tutorial leider nur in Französisch?

Great puzzle game.

Not gonna lie, had to get a few hints. Really stretched the grey matter.

Math!

Waste of time. Paying money to do someone else’s math homework! Yuck!!!

Use Google or You tube

Not good hints. If you can’t figure it out you have to go to you tube for help. Even then it often doesn’t make sense. Not enjoyable playing. Suggest you try someone else’s game. This person needs some editing.

Glitchy!!

I thought this would be fun. When the game doesn’t work, it isn’t any fun.

Unnecessarily difficult

I love puzzle games and do fairly well, but I was needing hints on almost every single puzzle, as well as finding a walkthrough. Many of the puzzles in here are so bizarre to figure out and make no sense. Don’t recommend.

Response from developer

Thanks for your feedback, sometimes you need to think out of the box to solve riddles, there are surely easier puzzle games out there, this one has some challenging enigmas that put more excitement to the gameplay ;)

Puzzles dont make sense at all

Very dissapointing

Response from developer

Thanks for your feedback, sort to hear that though. Feel free to get in touch at https://xsgames.co, I'll be glad to help ;)

Great potential but not logical

These games have great potential but need a lot of work. Even with clues there are many puzzles I can’t figure out. They require such leaps in logic that one would never find the answer without better clues. Some of the puzzles lack enough examples to figure out the puzzle and it turns into a random guessing game. Thank goodness there are walkthroughs online. Also the double click feature only works half the time, some puzzles you can’t clear if you enter a wrong answer and you have to close and reopen the app.

Thanks so much for your feedback, really appreciated! Some puzzles require thinking out-of-the-box to be solved, anyway I'll try to improve the hints ;)

Glitchy game, even worse controls

This puzzle is so awful that it almost feels like the developer intentionally tried to make the worst game possible. And it’s exactly the same experience like the other 4 that they made so clearly they’re just bad at their job.

1. The double tap feature is so buggy it doesn’t even work half the time, you have to have the camera at the perfect angle in order to zoom in on an area.

2. The game is so glitchy that many of the puzzles either require you to enter the proper answer multiple times, or they don’t even work at all (like the red/black triangle puzzle at the VERY BEGINNING of the entire game).

3. There are many other examples but honestly this game is such junk that I’m not even going to waste my time.

This developer should be so embarrassed that they actually put out a game this horrible… and then did it 5 times over.

You should honestly pull this game from the App Store until it’s actually finished, because this piece of junk needs so much work.

I wish I could give it -1/5 stars.

Thanks for your feedback, it sounds a bit weird though, especially when many other people are enjoying the Mystery Box series and aren't experiencing all the issues you mentioned. I wish you got in touch earlier before posting such review, I'd be glad to help ;)

Le 5eme n’est pas terrible

Vraiment trop compliqué même sur le tuto, je finis donc avec les soluces mais même avec ça la boite ne s'ouvre pas, je suit pourtant avec précision les solutions décrites.
Apres avoir finis les 4 j’abandonne de 5 au niveau du tuto. Nous verrons le 6 :)

私はMachineよりBoxが好き❤️

Boxのデザインはシリーズ3や4よりBox感が強い。その分謎解きは純粋な気がする。しかも何処まで蓋が開くのだろうかと思う程に構造は多彩。私の大好きな、時々驚く「ガラガラ」という音が絶好調!コペンハーゲン解釈で量子物理学が発達したように、The Da Vinci CryptexやMystery Boxのエニグマが此のシリーズに有る「重ね合わせ」みたいな独特の面白さを決定付けている。エニグマの解らしきモノが確率の波に漂い、ボタン入力すると同時にシークエンスが確定する感覚!此の何とも表現出来ない快感を私は気に入っている。

Thank you for your review, happy you enjoyed this puzzle adventure!

Shadow level free or pay?

Game play is great but wondering why SHADOW LEVEL appears outside the portion requiring purchase, yet it’s requesting payment to unlock it to play. What gives? Is it free or not; either way it’s a boo-boo.

Response from developer

Thanks for your feedback, glad you liked this escape room adventure! The SHADOW level is locked as its lock on the bottom-right corner shows, The first 3 boxes are free to play :)

Stuck

There seems to be a glitch in the first level (ELYSIUM), the rotating dials, red arrow to black, black arrow to red. Nothing happens.

Response from developer

Thanks for your feedback, please feel free to get in touch at https://xsgames.co with more details, I'll be happy to help ;)

Nothing worked for me

Even the tutorial did not work.

Use your Brain

This is another perfect puzzle game from this developer. He really puts thought into his games. You will need to use your brain to solve the many puzzles on each box. Sometimes I overthink an obvious puzzle and sometimes I think the answer is easy when it’s not. The puzzles are not too difficult but they are difficult enough to where it entertains you. Much better than watching a dumb show on tv! Definitely a very enjoyable way to spend your down time. If you like solving puzzles this game is a must!
