### 4/5 — Nothing exciting

*2025-03-21, version 1.29.0*

This is a decent enough game and easy to play for free .  It used to be much more interesting and even educational but it’s been changed and now it’s just a typical game.  Enjoyable though.

### 4/5 — Remember BATO: TREASURES OF TIBET?

*2025-01-11*

This is a great fun game but like so many others..  your graphics and animations are top notch and better than so many others.. any chance you could bring back some of the classic games that made you a household name?  The original ones like Bato?  That game was like no other and is not in the App Store anymore..  can you bring it back?!?!!  I miss that game sooo much and it has such historical significance…. It was really special and I’ve never finished it..

**Developer response:** Hello RichOooooo!
Thanks for your 4-star review! 🌟 We're so glad you're enjoying the game and appreciate your kind words about the graphics and animations. If there's anything we can do to make it a 5-star experience for you, we'd love to hear your feedback! 😊

### 4/5 — Game freezes A LOT

*2024-12-28, version 1.27.0*

**Developer response:** Hello there!

Thanks for your detailed feedback! It sounds like you're missing the previous version of the game and have been stuck in the VIP Lounge since the update. The current VIP Lounge is designed for top-level players, but we understand your desire for more variety, including collecting postcards and seeing buildings being built. We're working on adding more exciting content and features to improve the experience. Stay tuned for future updates, and thanks for your continued support and feedback!

### 4/5 — Enjoying this game

*2024-10-20*

I’m enjoying this game, but I’m stuck on the VIP Lounge “mode” or whatever. I can’t find a way back to the main game

**Developer response:** Hello there!
Please download the latest version to get to the newest content! After you download it, you will see the VIP Lounge until that round ends, and then you will be guided back to the main game to complete the newest City Scenes! 
I hope you enjoy them and we hope to earn a fifth star from you :)

### 2/5 — Jackelyn Tompkins

*2024-10-18, version 1.25.0*

I love playing this game, for some reason it’s locked in VIP room, have no idea why I’m in a VIP room. I tried everything to get back in the game and can’t. Please unlock it for me

### 4/5 — Bug

*2024-10-14*

I am i starting in Paris area and when I went story area I clicked on it but nothing shows

**Developer response:** Hello there!
It sounds like you may have encountered a glitch. Please try restarting the app or checking for any available updates. If the issue persists, contact our support team in-game, and we'll help you get back on track with the story area! We're here to assist you!

### 2/5 — Disappointed

*2024-10-14, version 1.25.0*

I loved this game for so long but after the recent update it has become so hard to pass levels I can’t be bothered. Shame.

### 3/5 — Too many glitches!!

*2024-09-18, version 1.24.1*

I really love this game but this is the third time in 2 days where I’ve given 900 points to get 5 moves and it freezes. I not only cannot finish my game that I’ve been at x5 and I’ve been sent back to the start of a new game and minus my 900 points and I lost my 5x it’s very frustrating. I can’t recommend the game if this keeps happening!!

### 3/5 — Not enough coins

*2024-09-17*

I really enjoy this game, but it’s frustrating to run out of turns when I only have 1 item left. It is so difficult to get extra turns or boosters because they cost a ridiculous amount of coins. One item for 3900 coins? I have never seen another game where the boosters are so expensive. It is very difficult to accumulate that many coins. In fact, I have never done it even after playing this game for several months.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! The purchase of +5 moves starts at 900 Coins and increases by 1,000 with each additional purchase on the same level, including boosters. By the time it reaches 3,900 Coins, you're getting two boosters included. If you'd prefer to save Coins, buy five lives for 900 Coins instead of more moves. We hope this helps, and we’d love to earn 5 stars from you! 🌟

*2025-05-12, version 1.29.2*

Error message with 2000 coins cannot update

### 1/5 — Unable to play the game.

*2024-12-31*

For the past week or so I have been unable to play the game because after it loads, I just get a dark screen (I can see the game in the background) but I can’t click on anything and it won’t allow me to play the game. Sad that it has been like this for a week and not fixed.

**Developer response:** Hello there!

### 1/5 — Stuck

*2024-11-25, version 1.25.2*

I have been playing the game for a while but now it just goes to 98% and stops. I cannot access the game

### 1/5 — Stuck at level 201

*2024-10-30*

I’ve spent money on getting coins but somehow I’m stuck at same level ! The response from site was a generic bogus one !
Looks like they don’t have more levels but they still encourage you to BUY more lives !
Ridiculous !

### 1/5 — Messed up

*2024-10-19*

Ever since the most recent update, I’ve been unable to access the app.  I click on the app and it goes thru its cycle then it just freezes.  I’ve started and restarted a dozen times and nothing happens. My only option left is to delete the game and reinstall.     My problem with this final option, is losing all my coins and boosters.

**Developer response:** We're sorry to hear about the freezing issue. The good news is that there’s an update available that addresses this problem. Please update the app to version 1.25.1, and it should resolve the freezing issue. Let us know if you continue to experience any trouble!

### 1/5 — Please sort this out

*2024-10-18, version 1.25.0*

I am in the VIP lounge in the airport and have played a few levels. Now the game will not load fully. Its there in the background but just keeps highlighting stars. Great game i want to kee playing

### 1/5 — Puzzles and passports game freezes cannot open.

*2024-10-18*

Why it is all of a sudden the games freezes? It got updated to some special lounge and all of a sudden I can’t even go into the games. It is black out. Very disappointed. Please look into it. Anyway,I just deleted the game. Will definitely not recommend to anybody.

**Developer response:** Hello Kampong!
We're sorry to hear about your freezing issue after the update. The latest update in the App Store addresses this blackout problem, so please try reinstalling the game or updating it. We hope you'll consider giving it another try, and we’d love to earn five stars from you in the future. Thank you for your feedback!

### 1/5 — Make more the levels longer like Gummy Drop

*2024-09-08*

I used to play this game when it was known as travel crush and the levels are too short. I wish it was like gummy drop where you had more monuments and more levels per monuments

### 1/5 — DELETED Same old game

*2024-03-31*

Same game as many others. Typical "bait and switch" ads show a completely different game. I've played about 40 levels and no "bonus level" giving the ability to play the advertised game.... DELETED!

**Developer response:** Hi there!
I'm sorry you didn't like how the game was portrayed in the ad. Could you let us know which ad you liked enough to check out Puzzles & Passports? It can give us an idea of what our players want to see in the app! You can contact us at support@bebopbee.com with any feedback you'd like to give us.

### 5/5 — Love the game need more levels

*2024-08-07, version 1.23.0*

I love this game but I need more levels!!!!

### 5/5 — Great game

*2024-07-07, version 1.23.0*

The creator(s)of this are clearly passionate about the game. It’s very easy to play for free so their focus must be on player enjoyment. I buy something now and then to support them as so much thought has gone into this.  Can just be played as a simple traditional matching  game  but there’s also an educational travel component that adds an extra dimension for those interested. Could even be used as a brain break for kids at school.  I play this more often than I should!   It’s so nice not being bombarded with ads too. Well done to you!

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2024-06-15, version 0.1.22*

I have never written review for any game. But this game is absolute perfection!

### 5/5 — Fun and Addictive!

*2024-05-21*

puzzles are challenging and engaging, and the graphics are stunning. Exploring different locations around the world adds an exciting twist. Highly recommend for puzzle lovers! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

**Developer response:** Hello there!
Thanks for the fantastic review! 🌟 We're thrilled you're enjoying the challenging puzzles, stunning graphics, and exciting world exploration. Happy adventuring, and thanks for recommending us to other puzzle lovers! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

### 5/5 — Fun and Fair

*2024-05-19, version 0.1.21*

All the elements and you can actually progress. ☺️
