### 5/5 — Fantastic concept. But it needs an update

*2023-01-16, version 2.0.5*

I love this movie and this seems like a really cool game concept but when you download it and try to play you are met with a “error” and “needs an update” warning. The only thing that works is the badge creator (which by the way is absolutely amazing, I printed mine to the size of a real card on card stock paper then laminated it. LOOKS AMAZING) I hope that the creators will update this app for 2023. Thanks for reading and have a great day! d(•u•)
