But I’m stuck at the knots challenge and it’s frustrating. I tried uninstalling and installing again, also used gems and also tried to check the app. My app is up to date. But I’m still stuck for the last few days, don’t know how to proceed. ### 2/5 — Puzzle broken *2026-04-12, version 1.0.9* Was really enjoying this game and have played many others previously but am stuck on the rope untangle puzzle which even when untangled the rops stay red. There seems no way to solve it and cannot progress. Very disappointed ### 2/5 — スキップ出来ない *2026-01-28, version 1.0.9* ロープの結び目を解くと言うパズルで、どうしても解けず、スキップしましたがスキップ出来ず場面も変わらずだったので先に進めずやむ無くやめました。残念。 ### 3/5 — Stuck on puzzle error *2026-01-04, version 1.0.9* Game was great until you get to the string puzzle. No matter how I untangle it it does not go through. Tried skipping and won’t work. Waste of time since I can’t get whatever is needed to move on. ### 4/5 — I would rate this game of five had it not been for one issue *2025-12-15, version 1.0.9* I’m currently stuck on the rope string crossing puzzle I tried to look up two different walk-throughs about how it was, but it’s not turning green when I do it I even tried skipping it, but it’s not letting me continue can you please fix the issue? ### 3/5 — Stuck from game error *2025-09-13, version 1.0.9* Got stuck at one puzzle (uncrossing strings attached to a circle). Turns out it’s game error—somehow not solvable. Pressed “Skip” a few times—puzzle would circle around but never resolve—it did take hearts, though. I looked up 2 different walkthroughs for the answer—put it in just as seen, but puzzle still didn’t resolve. Strings never turned green as they did in video walkthrough or as in other site’s photo of solution. Cant move forward in game, so I’m deleting it. ### 3/5 — Rope puzzle glitch *2025-09-08, version 1.0.9* The rope puzzle is glitching.. I solve it but it’s not turning green as it should and letting me continue. ### 2/5 — Der ganze Spaß ist vorbei *2025-07-01, version 1.0.9* Wie es schon erwähnt wurde, bei Knotenrätsel ist schon das Spiel zu Ende. Softwarefehler. ### 1/5 — Bugged puzzle *2025-04-11, version 1.0.9* Bought gems to skip rope puzzle but it didn’t complete and stole my gems I am very disappointed I was enjoying the game until this happened hasn’t been fixed and people have been complaining about it for a while ### 1/5 — Glitch in puzzle *2025-04-01, version 1.0.9* I came to the rope puzzle and I completed it but it would not work. I finally used a skip but still would not work. I reset the game and did it all again but same result. I wasted time and crystals! ### 1/5 — I’m stuck! *2025-03-30, version 1.0.9* I’ve played a few of these games now with no issue but I am also now stuck on the rope mini game in the basilisks yard (with complaints as far back as 2 years ago, I did not think this would still be an issue now!!) I even paid real money to skip the mini game and it won’t let me! I’m stuck even though I just wasted money on it. Disappointed. ### 2/5 — Треш *2025-03-22, version 1.0.9* Игра супер, прям залипла в нее, но в начале залагала головоломка и из-за нее нельзя пройти игру дальше!!! Это очень испортило мнение об игре!!!!! ### 3/5 — Rope Game issue still *2025-03-20, version 1.0.9* The rope game doesn’t seem to be fixed. Is there a way to bypass it? Or is there going to be a fix soon? ### 4/5 — Great Game - but bug present *2025-03-16, version 1.0.8* Great game, but the puzzle where the ropes need to be untangled via moving knots etc doesn’t let me get past (untangled knots do not go green) - hope that helps ### 4/5 — Мини- игра с узелками *2025-03-16, version 1.0.8* Мини- игру с узелками невозможно пройти. Очень жаль, что придется удалить! ### 4/5 — Love the game *2025-03-03, version 1.0.8* I love this game plus all the other ones but when I got to the ripe puzzle no solution would work and then I skipped it and it took my gem but didn’t skip the puzzle. And then froze. Please fix and replace my gems ### 1/5 — Secret City 2 *2025-02-21, version 1.0.8* Невозможно пройти задание с узелками ### 2/5 — Игра *2025-02-09, version 1.0.8* Не возможно пройти мини игру с узелками. Исправьте баг. Очень жаль, что приходится удалять. ### 1/5 — Buggy and unplayable *2025-02-02, version 1.0.8* I paid 4 dollars for 5 skips. The first skip I used was with the magnifying glass puzzle because it was glitching and the magnifying glass would fly across the page unselecting items. Then I used 4 skips trying to do the rope puzzle.i tried all sorts of configurations. Using skip just reset the puzzle. Because of this I could not complete the game. Terrible ### 1/5 — Bekannter Bug wird nicht behoben *2025-01-31, version 1.0.8* Eigentlich nett gemacht, nicht zu anspruchsvoll, leider geht es nicht weiter, weil das Rätsel mit den Knoten nicht lösbar und nicht überspringbar ist. Wie man hier in den Rezensionen sieht, existiert der Bug bereits seit Jahren und scheinbar sind die Macher nicht daran interessiert, diesen zu beheben, sondern schreiben hier immer nur die Standard-Antwort drunter. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — バグで進めない *2026-06-18, version 1.0.9* 赤いローブの絡まりをとるミニゲームで、絡まってないのにクリア出来ず、スキップもできないから消すしかない。悲しすぎた ### 1/5 — Баг *2026-05-12, version 1.0.9* Распутать узелки так и не возможно в мине игре,косяк,дальше не пройти ### 1/5 — Rope game in basilisk yard still not working. *2026-03-04, version 1.0.9* Other reviewers have mentioned this and yet it doesn’t seem to have been fixed. Shame, as I was enjoying the game up until this point, now I’m just going to give up and delete it. If the developers haven’t fixed it with the number of years they’ve had to do so, then clearly they’re not going to. Very disappointing. ### 1/5 — Same problem *2026-02-16, version 1.0.9* There is still a bug ! The same One ### 1/5 — Баг *2026-01-30, version 1.0.9* Невозможно пройти мини-игру,распутать узелки. Как ни старалась,ничего не получается и пропустить нет возможности ### 1/5 — Техническая неисправность *2025-11-29, version 1.0.9* Игру пройти невозможно из-за бага с узелками, пришлось удалить. Очень расстроило, учитывая какая классная была первая часть. Вторая разочаровала ### 1/5 — Узелки *2025-10-22, version 1.0.9* Согласна с предыдущим отзывом, ошибка- в мини- игре с узелками, и пропустить не дает((( Так жалко, но игра на стопе ### 1/5 — Узлы не проходятся ! *2025-08-01, version 1.0.9* Исправьте ошибку ### 1/5 — Knots minigame doesn’t work *2025-07-20, version 1.0.9* Me gustan los juegos de la serie, pero el minijuego de los nudos no funciona. He usado el skip pero ha consumido la gema sin pasar el minijuego, con lo que el juego se ha quedado parado ahí. Lástima! ### 1/5 — Расстроенна *2025-06-28, version 1.0.9* Купила монеты,при следующем запуске,они исчезли!Купила безлимит,игра затупила на узелках и не грузится вообще! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — ххе *2023-03-28, version 1.0.7* прошла игру, экстру тоже, спасибо вам ❤️🫰 ### 5/5 — Great game *2022-11-10, version 1.0.7* I had been enjoying the game, but got to the rope puzzle where you have to rotate the knots and supposedly slide them. The rotating worked, but the knots didn’t slide at all. They highlighted in blue, but wouldn’t move when you try to drag them. I finally figured out a work-around, and the rest of the game was great. Even the bonus game was F2P! ### 5/5 — Perfect Blend *2022-08-28, version 1.0.7* This episode was the perfect blend of mini games, hidden objects, and story line. Really appreciate that they’ve released it as free to play. ### 5/5 — Genial *2022-06-18, version 1.0.7* Ha sido todo un descubrimiento los juegos de este desarrollador. Entretenidos, con soluciones lógicas y muy recomendables ### 5/5 — All Secret City Games are great! *2022-04-25, version 1.0.7* Good graphics, good storyline, great puzzles and mini-games. It’s hard to find new games. Especially F2P games. This is one of my all-time favorites. ### 5/5 — Никаких багов *2022-03-20, version 1.0.5* Март 2022, все работает. Как всегда супер дизайн, музыка, головоломки. ### 5/5 — Spannend *2022-02-01, version 1.0.4* Tolle Grafik, gute Geschichte und nicht zu schwer ### 5/5 — Still crashing *2021-12-27, version 1.0.3* Great games from this developer but I can’t really review this one as it is still crashing at the same point in the game. ***The update has fixed that particular glitch - looking forward to playing the rest. Great job developers! ### 5/5 — Another great game. *2021-12-23, version 1.0.2* Developers are quick to solve glitches. Graphics, mini games and story are superb as usual. ### 5/5 — Secret city request refund…bug *2021-12-20, version 1.0.2* This game has a bug when you try to press the runes on the merpersons gild, the instruction has it would restart. This bug kick you out. Also I brought the extra chapter, the credit was taken but was never given access. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
