Clues cost and the aggravating part is it shows clues for parts you already solved. Then you have to spend more to get to the clue you’re looking for. Ridiculous. ### 4/5 — Kind of hard *2021-08-26, version 1.0* It could be a little easier other that that good game ### 4/5 — fun *2021-02-09, version 1.0* its. good ### 2/5 — guys don’t be fooled by this game *2020-12-02, version 1.0* it doesn’t make sense at all. I’ve got more white hairs now. so stressful. never recommended🤥 ### 3/5 — Not bad *2020-10-14, version 1.0* Not bad ### 4/5 — Ok to pass some free time.... *2020-09-30, version 1.0* I don’t understand why some people don’t know how to play. You click on things until you find what you need and put them together to get codes etc. For everyone saying the drawers don’t open even when they’ve entered the correct codes, even if you’ve cheated and got the code you still need to find it in the game so it registers, for eg if you have three out of four parts of a code you can’t guess the last part you have to find it. Finally the game is quite challenging but doable although a bit boring and the end when you get the blue code is too easy. ### 4/5 — A solid three stars *2020-08-18* It’s one of those games that’s almost too hard. Can be frustrating at times. ### 3/5 — Fun but short *2020-06-24* I made the mistake of buying “no ads” for a game with only one scene. It also charged me for hints. For a total of $4, I expected more levels. ### 4/5 — Great *2020-05-28, version 1.0* Great puzzle, not easy and made me think, it’s good that it uses all the rooms, and you have to go back and forth to get the items. Great puzzle. ### 4/5 — Good fun game *2020-04-25, version 1.0* I enjoyed the game - nice graphics and about the right amount of pieces to solve on each level. I didn’t find any problem with adds like others did. Didn’t use the tips, so no comment on them. My only “complaint’ is that it didn’t last long enough - I expected more levels to solve, so was a bit disappointing when I reached the end, hence only 4 stars. ### 4/5 — Awesome game! *2020-02-12, version 1.0* I enjoyed this! Was challenging but still awesome to play. I needed a bit of help at the end so watched the walkthrough video on YouTube, but other than that, really nice to play. ### 4/5 — Noice *2019-12-04, version 1.0* This game is fun but there are ads. If you made it that we only had to watch an ad to get a hint I would play this more often. Gg tho ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — You have to know what they’re thinking *2022-11-29* It’s not a game where the clues and puzzles make sense. You have to know what the person who put this together is thinking. It’s a really frustrating game of chance/luck/guessing. ### 1/5 — 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 *2020-06-16, version 1.0* Terrible game won’t save and the code they say will open the cuboard DOESN’T EVEN WORK!!!!!!! Fix this 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 ### 1/5 — Bad review *2020-06-05* This game is the worst do not let people play this game because you can’t even do anything ### 1/5 — Nope *2020-06-03, version 1.0* To hard ### 1/5 — More Levels? *2020-04-09, version 1.0* Is there only 2 Levels I completer the 2 but didn’t get an option of anymore! If that’s the case it’s bit disappointing... ### 1/5 — Its ok *2020-01-26, version 1.0* Alright game but for a couple of the puzzles, they are so tedious they end up being stupid, AND THE WAY THE HINTS ARE DONE IS CRAP!!!! ### 1/5 — I hate it *2019-11-27, version 1.0* Do not get it ### 1/5 — Hate it *2019-11-17, version 1.0* This is the most ridiculous game ever there are no instructions and it is boring ### 1/5 — Terrible *2019-11-15, version 1.0* Not fun at all and the tips are useless ### 1/5 — No instructions! *2019-10-14, version 1.0* Absolutely no instructions on how to play this game so quite pointless. Deleted quickly ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — love this game *2024-05-06* it’s one of those sort of games where you really have to use your brain, it’s complicating but worth it in the end ### 5/5 — Love it *2023-09-09, version 1.0* Cool game ever ### 5/5 — 🤩 *2022-09-14, version 1.0* Enjoyed the game 🤩 wish there was more rooms!!! .. didn’t need hints (ad at bottom a little bit annoying ) I did need to come back to rooms as a fresh pair of eyes , so took a little bit longer great little game! ### 5/5 — Very good *2021-08-28, version 1.0* Good game ### 5/5 — WoW *2021-01-08, version 1.0* This is such a fun game and I enjoy this so much 🥳 I truly recommend this game if you want a real challenge 🧩 ### 5/5 — Game *2020-06-10, version 1.0* Very addictive ### 5/5 — Excellent *2020-05-26, version 1.0* Really enjoyed playing this. The puzzles require different types of thinking and were fun to solve. Didn’t need any hints but some took a while to figure out. No ads which made this very enjoyable. Only two levels with four rooms in each with 1-2 hours each to solve. ### 5/5 — Brain boggling *2020-04-21, version 1.0* Wow ### 5/5 — Awesome 👍 *2020-01-12, version 1.0* Awesome 👍 game for all ages. ### 5/5 — Best game *2019-11-24, version 1.0* This game is so hard If u like a challenge get this game --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
