### 5/5 — Great Puzzle Game

*2026-04-22, version 1.0.9*

I really enjoy playing this game, this is exactly what I wanted. Deductive reasoning, attention to detail, this is great to make you think and problem solve. Highly recommend.

### 5/5 — So cool .

*2025-08-25*

Loved this game took me 12 days on and off to finally reach the end and when I did I am playing it again 😀

### 5/5 — Beautiful, cute, humorous

*2025-01-26*

I love moving my three little explorers through these levels! Fresh mechanics I've never seen in other puzzle games, great skill level curve, thoughtful A+ graphics and presentation. With puzzle games you sometimes drop off and don't finish — too many levels, or there's a difficulty spike — but not so with this one. Played it to the end and wanted more.

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2024-07-12*

Everything you could ask for in a puzzle game: great graphics and sound, right length, great game logic, excellent clean user interface and most importantly really good, sometimes hard but ultimately solvable puzzles. More please.

### 5/5 — Challenging and fun puzzle game

*2024-06-17*

My whole family loves playing this game, including my 10 and 6 year old kids. The visuals are gorgeous, the soundtrack is lovely, and the puzzles are challenging. Some of them took me quite a few tries to solve. This game was a real treat to play.

### 5/5 — Absolutely love this puzzle!!!

*2024-02-09, version 1.0.9*

One of my most favorite puzzles! But for some reason I was allowed to complete only 12 of the 17 stages. The rest were locked and I am not sure how to unlock. Rather disappointing.

### 5/5 — Wonderfull Puzzle Experience

*2024-02-03, version 1.0.9*

This is one of my favorite iOS puzzle games. I really hope they create a Vision OS version, it would be a great experience!!

### 5/5 — Fabulous game!

*2023-12-18, version 1.0.9*

Intriguing, and just challenging enough without being totally frustrating. There are so few of these types of games made anymore; I truly appreciate the effort of the team that came up with this clever amusement.

### 5/5 — Too much fun, not enough game

*2023-11-18*

Very fun game. I had wanted a casual game I could play without worrying about frequent interruptions. You can take however long you want to between moves, but I’m honestly a little dumb and forgot what I was doing so YMMV. I ended up playing through in longer stretches over three days. I hope for more levels, but simply not playing for a month or two and then replaying will probably be sufficient for me.

### 5/5 — Top Spiel!

*2023-05-26*

Liebevoll gestaltetes Game, tolle Rätsel. Wer „Lara Croft Go“ oder „Hitman Go“ mag, wird begeistert sein! 

Schade, dass das Spiel von Apple nicht mehr promotet wird.
