On 4th mansion & enjoy the various challenges/obstacles. ONLY COMPLAINT: Both Annie & the rooms ‘move too slowly’ on *some* levels to achieve my goal of 3 icons. I replay with moves & go as fast as I can, careful to avoid unnecessary room spins, but I wait on Annie and/or rooms to catch up & I finish, again, with only 2 gold icons. Incredibly frustrated, I’ve even tried a hint thinking I’ll see a better path, but the hint tells me what I already knew to be right. OPTIONS: -Reasonable time for some of these higher levels AND/OR -Improve the game’s response time to moves. I see no updates posted for several years, so I realize this issue won’t be addressed. But-developers- if you read this, remember this issue for future games; and please, please consider an update to this otherwise fabulous game. BTW: Played on iPhone 14 Pro Max w game setting on highest quality; device is not the problem. ### 2/5 — 遊戲很好玩但根本沒辦法同步啊 *2024-06-11, version 1.225* 試了好幾次，想平板手機換著玩，結果進度根本沒辦法雲同步，這個功能是設計來耍人的嗎 ### 3/5 — 困ってます *2022-11-23, version 1.225* iPadでプレイしていましたが、iPhoneにもダウンロードして同じAppleIDでgame centerにログインしてもゲームデータが同期されません。 iPad側で手動でcloudにデータセーブしてもiPhone側で復元も出来ませんでした。 どうしたらいいんでしょうか… ### 3/5 — 업데이트대체언제??? *2022-10-19, version 1.225* 몇년을 업데이트안해주시면어쩌라구요 ㅜㅜ 제발 업데이트좀해주라요~~ ### 4/5 — 마법맨션 지하실 8번방 이거 풀수 있는건가요?! *2021-06-05, version 1.225* 마지막 방 2칸이 완벽한 밀실이라 진입 자체가 안되는데. 뭔가 이상한거 맞죠??? ### 5/5 — Great Game *2021-02-07, version 1.225* Love the story, graphics and puzzles. One of the best purchases I have made. ### 5/5 — Fun! Fun! Fun! *2021-02-03, version 1.225* I love this game. Not only do you have rooms in three challenging mansions but you also get a basement for each mansion and a daily puzzle to solve. I’ve had hours and hours of fun and challenges. I especially like the hints, which come in handy when I’m really stuck. One thing I would like to ask is why if I purchased the attics on one of my devices (iPad) do I have to purchase them again on another(iPhone)? I received a response from the developer. Thanks, it worked. 👍🙂 "Hello. Thanks for your review! You don't need to re-purchase IAPs. As long as you have logged in with the same account, you can tab "Restore" in the setting menu to restore your purchases. Also, if you have logged onto the iCloud, you can save/load your progress between multiple devices." ### 4/5 — 시계를 어떻게 돌리는지 ㅠㅠ *2020-12-21, version 1.218* 너무 재미있게 하고 있는데요.. ㅠㅠ 뒤틀린 멘션에서 시계를 어떻게 돌리는 건지 ㅠㅠ 도통 모르겠어요~ ### 4/5 — 공략집 같은거 없나요? *2020-11-05, version 1.218* 너무 어려워서 못깨겠어요 그리고 힌트라고 있는 것도 제대로 뭘 보여주지도 않고... 자기혼자 움직이는게 끝이고... ### 5/5 — Best game ever! *2020-09-27, version 1.218* Though sometimes this game is hard, it is always rewarding to finally beat it. The graphics and sound are terrific and I enjoy even replaying some of the episodes. ### 5/5 — Perle rare *2020-09-04, version 1.218* Un nombre de niveaux impressionnant, difficultés et complications croissantes, durée de jeu exemplaire. Le graphisme, la musique et l’interface sont un régal. ### 5/5 — Addictive yet fun! *2020-08-13, version 1.218* My dad even has it! Omg, thank you for the puzzles! You know... in a original, The Mansion, the puppet was really scary, so after 5 years, 5 years! I found this, and discovered THIS puppet wasn’t too scary! Because of this, I’ve become a bit braver. Some people might say “ too hard! “ or “ too easy! “ but I think this is the best. Game. EVER!!!!!!!! The hint and undo system REALLY helped! In fact, i use it whenever i need it! Also i wrote the review called WOAH and that was just on my grandmas iPad! 5 years of fear, this had brung me hope and help, so tysm! ### 5/5 — WOAH *2020-08-01, version 1.218* Ok, I just finished the final level, and WOW! ANNE herself turns into a puppet!? When I found out, then the credits then changed to a puppet walking through the hallways of the mansion. It was scary yet funny! You guys did a great job, and I thought of another name for a game that could continue the series! Rooms...... The Tallest Tower! Instead of being Anne, you could be a little boy named Max, who, just like Anne, is full of curiosity. The puppet would be Anne, while you try and find his kitty all the way to the top of the mansion. You could edit it so that the mansion is HUGE and TALL. When Max finds his kitty, she is kind of... a puppet-kitty. Then Anne comes out of nowhere and chases Max... to the puzzle room. His lantern, the toymaker, was expecting this, so then, Max was forced to touch the puzzle piece. Max shrieked as HE became a puppet, and Anne and his kitty were free. How bout that? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Near Perfect *2025-07-15* Love this game. On 4th mansion & enjoy the various challenges/obstacles.

There’s no syncing across devices. Money to spend on everything but every time you open the app then you have to start all over from the beginning. Whatever I bought is long gone with no way to get it back. The game itself is beautifully designed but I can’t take the constant starting over. Would give no stars for this reason alone. ### 1/5 — This game is trash *2021-02-20, version 1.225* I was looking for some scary games I saw this I thought it be scary but it’s just a stupid puzzle game 🤬🤬😡😡😡😡😡🤬🤬🤬🤬 ### 1/5 — Mask?! *2021-01-11, version 1.218* Why is she wearing a mask? Isn’t it enough that we have to wear them all day? Instead of relaxing with this game I’m having trouble breathing! ### 1/5 — Thumbs down *2020-11-11, version 1.218* Compared to the previous rooms games well there’s just no way to compare.Kind of 8 bit graphics And very low end. ### 1/5 — 별로 재미없어여 *2020-09-17, version 1.218* 재밋을꺼같아서 삿는데 무난하고 똑같은 형식을 풀어내는거라 별로라서 한번하고 안했어요.. 이미지로는 엄청 흥미로워보여서 러스티레이크같은게임인줄 알앗는데 아니네요 휴 돈아까워요 ### 1/5 — Truly dreadful *2020-05-07, version 1.211* I expected this to be like The Room series and have those incredible graphics and immersive puzzles. However this is seriously boring and all the same. What a massive waste of £5.00. ### 1/5 — NOT FOR ME *2020-03-26, version 1.211* When a walkthrough reads like a long list of chess moves that need to be in a certain order it’s pretty obvious that solving the rooms is possible to a very limited number of people in fact probably none. I soon got fed up with this irritating and pretty repetitive experience and can’t even be bothered to cheat to complete it. There are too many games that fail to provide both FUN and stimulation. This is one of them. ### 1/5 — No Sound (updated to reply to dev response) *2020-01-14, version 1.205* I just purchased and download this. There is no sound at all. Tried rebooting phone, uninstalling and reinstalling app, checked volume on both phone and app, verified phone not sending sounds to anything but speakers. My IOS is up to date. Any idea what caused this? UPDATE: I did double check to see if Other games have sound. Everything else seems to have sound and music. Ringer is turned up. I’m stumped. :-/ ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 好きだけども難しい *2025-05-26, version 1.225* 絵も音楽も大好きです！が私の頭の悪さを思い知らされたゲームでした。途中で力尽きました。苦手だけど好きです(；ω；) ### 5/5 — 오랜만에 다시 하고싶어서 *2022-09-08, version 1.225* 다시 깔아보려니 플레이 했던 세이브 파일이 전부 없어졌네요..😭😭 옷도 두어개 빼고 해금하고(전부였을지도..) 맨 마지막 저택 클리어 하고 중간중간 지하실에 막혀서 접었던 것 같은데 계정 로그아웃이 안 보여서 다른 계정을 따로 찾아볼수도 없고 혹시 방법이 없을까요..?? ### 5/5 — 언제 다시 나왔대 *2022-07-22, version 1.225* 오래 전에 아이패드에서 하고 언젠가 서비스 종료 돼서 아쉬웠었는데 다시 나와서 보고 바로 구매 ❤️ 다시 내주셔서 감사합니다 ❤️ ### 5/5 — 待ってました *2022-01-07, version 1.225* 以前あった『the mansion』が大好きだったのですが、無くなってしまってずっと探していました。 また戻って来てくれて嬉しいです。 いまからゆっくり楽しみたいと思います。 ### 5/5 — 재밌어요!!!!! *2021-11-14, version 1.225* 핸드폰 게임 잘안하는데 편인데 오랜만에 재밌게 했네요~~~ ### 5/5 — 옆에서 게임 좋아하던 친구였는데 *2021-10-29, version 1.225* 고3때 옆자리 앉았던 동창입니다. 옆에서 뭐든지 열정적으로 하던 친구로 기억하는데 이렇게 멋진 게임을 만들어 냈군요. 퍼즐 게임류를 좋아하는데 오랜만에 즐겁게 게임을 하고 있습니다. ### 5/5 — What A Game *2021-07-31, version 1.225* Wow, what a game. Very well crafted puzzle game I have played in a while. ### 5/5 — Love this game. *2021-07-22, version 1.225* So happy to have found this game … again. I had the free version on my iPad 4 but when I switched to iPad Air 2 the game was not supported. The graphics are awesome, so are the sound effects, very clever, so fun. ### 5/5 — Great puzzle game *2021-06-13, version 1.225* This game is really good, starts simple and gets very tricky in a way that you can feel using your brain. You have to move rooms in your head and hold moves in your memory to make it work. Lots of very clever difficulties to work out. Bit small though, only criticism and some glitches on free version which seem better in paid one. ### 5/5 — 재출시를 이제 알다니 *2021-06-05, version 1.225* 컴투스때 넘 잼있게해서 핸드폰에 뒀는데 어느순간 접속이 안되서 슬펐거든요. 유료로 다시 나왔다니 기쁜 마음으로 지르고 시작합니다. ㅠㅠ 개발자님 건승하세요! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
