I do love it, but…
Been playing for 4 years now, back when it was coin hunt world. Really miss the crypto earning but it’s still a fun game. My only thing that’s really frustrating me is that there are no post offices that are tagged around me. It would’ve been 5 stars and I’d play it a lot more if I was able to have a vending machine near me. I seem to be the only one left in the Toledo area playing still too so it makes it very difficult to finish events because I only have my structures to collect from. Can you please get more, or ALL, post offices to be tagged so we can make more progress. Possibly even do the adventure pass for once.

Not for you
The game as it is, is not for you. Come for building? It’s in an alpha stage, where sometimes the distances make sense (200m access, or a reasonable amount for safety) while others it’s not (50m, with GPS drift that can mean nowhere). It relies heavily on game tags that don’t move, are a small fraction of those that players need, and aren’t available in most areas.
Ok, maybe you came for the fitness aspects. If you are on a pixel (not the 7 line), and run, you can complete the walking goals in about 90 minutes. Less driving for some reason. But iOS? 150 minutes is the low end, walking, and far higher driving. Content is deeply uneven, and extremely limited in what can be built by any given player. So it’s not going to be exciting this way either.
Events are designed so you need about 5-10 bots playing via emulation in your area, or you can’t participate. No joke, the game really only wants you to succeed if you put in a part time or more worth of time and effort, as well as have a large group playing at the same time along your walking routes.
In short, no matter what draws you in, the game as it stands is not designed for you. Hopefully it will end the “group” events and focus on game growth one day: that is, focus on the rural solo player since right now that’s what playing in a top global city feels like.

Great game
Really fun game, got me of the sofa. Open world gameplay like Pokémon game, great for kids and adults and all the family can play.
You should pass
3 1/2 years of following the company, and I no longer feel anyone new should play this game. If you drive while playing, for hours a day, it’s fine. But the basic game is no longer a notable draw for getting players out to walk, without many caveats.
I *Still* Want to Believe
There is some of the game that's solid, makes me want to get up and go for a walk. It works well enough for minimal entertainment while out for a walk with the stroller or jogging.
But all of that exercise has sets of costs I would avoid otherwise in life, which means to me, since I incur costs just to play routinely, it's functionally a subscription game. So, it takes investment more so than a regular game to dig into it, and only works if your base route is good enough for you.
Anyway, it’s rough and design pivots seem to be more common without compensation or meaningful refunds when it happens. Content is sparse too.

Anyway, if you skip over things like building and any collecting, the trivia and chance for $10 gift cards can make for a nice idle game to enjoy likely while out for a walk.

Good stuff
Great game, with a strong community base for years now. The team behind it responds well to players insight and continues to evolve the experience. Get rewards for walking!
Waste of time now
It was great when they automatically converted cubie coins to crypto. There’s no way now to convert to any currency and it’s been that way for a very long time. Don’t waste your time, it’s become a scam.
Events for drivers: daily gameplay for walkers
Hi! I change my mind often on the game as I enjoy the daily loop of going out for a run (~120 minutes) to do the walking goals and solve the trivia. I see the auction house and builder as different types of puzzles that, while both are fairly rough, have the basics down for some gameplay.
So I enjoy my daily loop as I can get out to do it: take a walk with the baby in the stroller or an early morning run.
In short, I’ve looked at what there is and found what works for me and focus on that. I think for many this is what could be enjoyable, but it’s hard to see because of what I dislike.
What I dislike is that the game events are, so far, all focused on players using a vehicle to drive past the areas that others have been building up. There is a total lack of reward for working the hardest via walking or running, or putting money in and building. The rewards are all geared towards those driving to the areas others have been putting in efforts to plan, collect the resources, pay for the crystal keys, and build up. If this is something that might bother you, then at this time the game is not for you.

Drive and live in the right area, or don’t play
Who is this game for: those living in the right areas and willing to drive.
Who is this not for: someone who walks and wants motivation, because every exciting event will remind you that you need to drive to succeed.
In short, at this time the game isn’t a good choice for anyone. For reference I’ve managed to scrape into the top 50 globally most months, walk exclusively, and cannot complete a single event.

Downhill from the start
This new app is such a huge waste of time. First, you should know it's impossible to withdraw your earnings on iOS. Also, impossible in US and Canada for the foreseeable future (goodbye to my 200k coins). The community keeps saying "you're getting crypto for free, be grateful". It's quite frustrating to be told that all your time invested has no value! Especially if you can't even withdraw. Not much has changed since 2021. At least, nothing that feels like a significant improvement. Glitchy as usual. The exercise quests are not fully functional... if walking is what you need, then sure, go ahead. To complete the 8 levels, you'll need about 12km. If you try to run, the app doesn't count half your steps, so you'll get more from just walking. To top it off, customer service doesn't seem to care about your issues. Sounds like I'm to blame for the glitches I find. This is just another crypto game that showed promise, had a lot of funding initially, but failed to get any sponsors and partnerships. ...PS. features that are "coming soon" have been like that for over a year.

Fun To Play!
Have played a few year from the original game. Addicting and really enjoy the new version of the game. Look forward to what else is to come!
Liars
Claimed I was spoofing and banned me. This is iPhone you can’t spoof on an iPhone it’s common knowledge
Lots of promises but no pay outs
I started playing this game in 2020. Originally the game was a crypto earning game. They took the crypto away without an in game warning. I was blindsided, and I never received my btc and eth. Now the game offers cubiecoins as rewards with no way of cashing those out. I recently learned that the same company is currently being sued by the FCC for a different project. I don’t believe this game will ever offer the users proper pay out while collecting data including a user’s location and health data. There are no in game guides, and the holiday events are tedious and offer little rewards for your efforts. The only way to figure out how to play the game is to be a party of their toxic discord where the players joke about trespassing and school shootings. They will also block users from the discord for giving criticism of the game which makes the game impossible to play. I plan on deleting the app after I am able to cash out my cubiecoins….if that ever happens.

Rough, something to enjoy while walking
I enjoy it while out walking, some of the trivia has helped me remember or learn useful things like from the health and medicine category, or has been interesting such as history.
Building up an area is, well, more necessary than enjoyable. It’s not merely rough, but incorrect planning can block yourself and others from enjoying building parts of an area.
The game is without a doubt rough across the entirety of it. But for me, it’s a good fit while out walking.

Bro
It says you need to be nine but you need to be 16
Stick with it and move
At first, I had difficulty figuring out what to do. You really can’t play it unless you’re moving around which is the whole point. It’s as much a fitness app as a trivia one. If you put in the effort to actually walk (or run), it’s awesome and the trivia keeps it really interesting.
Waste
I live in NYS and downloaded this game years ago. Accumulated a bunch of BTC and ETH and was never able to cash it out. Now have 421,000 of whatever the coins are that are basically worthless. Terrible customer service on what the plans were to reward players in my area that were early playing game and earning. Now the game isn’t even a play to earn. Wouldn’t waste time with it.

Really cool walking game
A video game that doesn’t make you a couch potato! And it’s fun. I like the real world overlay and on top of the Cubieverse as well as the play to earn rewards aspect. Also like that you can do it anywhere. Makes exploring a new city fun.
Unheard Suggestions, Untapped Potential
Formerly known as ‘Coin Hunt World,’ the game initially embraced a ‘play-to-earn’ approach, but this model wasn’t financially sustainable. It has since undergone a rebranding and is now known as ‘Cubiverse.’ This rebranding signifies a shift away from its original ‘play-to-earn’ model towards a more ‘pay-to-play’ style, with plans to reintroduce certain play-to-earn elements in the future. Nonetheless, the game remains promising and holds significant potential for future growth. In the pipeline, the game intends to provide monetary rewards, although in a less lucrative manner than before. Additionally, the development team plans to integrate NFTs, allowing users to buy and sell in-game assets on the blockchain (outside of iOS, unless there are changes in Apple’s policies). Gameplay: Think of Cubiverse as a fusion of PokemonGo, Stepn, and Upland. Several areas require improvement: 1. WifiToCellular: The game should seamlessly switch between Wi-Fi to cellular without necessitating app relaunches. This feature is standard in geolocation games and should be addressed to prevent app crashes, which may have contributed to negative reviews like Jose0509’s. All other geolocation games do this. 2. Keys for Walking: Given the game’s shift towards pay-to-play, improving the walking rewards system is essential. Studying Stepn as an example of integrating walking/running for in-game rewards would be highly beneficial. 3. Tutorial: While maintaining a clean UI is important, consider implementing a UI button that provides basic in-game tooltips to assist newer players who may struggle with the game’s mechanics. Don’t let this be your downfall. 4. Crystal Keys: Offering an option to watch occasional ads for Crystal Keys in-game could provide a more balanced approach between monetization and player satisfaction. This could help players that lack the ability to drop liquidity into the game a way to progress without solely relying on spending money within the game. 5. 900 vaults is ridiculous for events. Why? You are requiring players to drive at minimum 12 hours to complete events. It’s NOT fun or healthy for that matter. I suggest you go back to the drawing board. No new players are going to do this. Be open to change.
