The Best!

Love the puzzles! 100%

Irritating graphics

This game has potential but why have the developers put in the irritating vibration of the box and blackening of the screen which disrupts your play. I know what they are trying to achieve but it just doesn’t work. I really enjoyed the bird cage games but this one sadly is not of the same standard. I deleted in the end because it was too annoying.

Issues

So, the game is great! But.. how are you supposed to beat the green pack when it doesn’t even give you enough time to do the puzzles? I’m doing them quickly, but it keeps making me restart before I can finish the last puzzle on level 12

Constant stress…

The puzzles are just too easy.

So instead of making the puzzles more challenging or creative…. The developers focused on creating stress and complications on the players themselves.

The box is constantly jumping around…pause and wait.
The lights flicker… scene goes dark … pause and wait.
The Jack-in-the-box comes out and jump scares you…pause and wait.

Half the game is waiting and trying to just get to the puzzle.

And of course, the “horror” background music …which is mostly tension-building and repetitive.

I really don’t like leaving negative reviews for any developer/game. But this one has a tolerance level not everyone is at.

If you don’t mind being visually assaulted and in a constant state of anxiety while playing a puzzle…then you might like this one. I’ll pass.

We hear you, and we're sorry for the frustration. Your feedback helps us understand where we can improve. We'll work on balancing challenge and atmosphere better in future updates. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Meh

I’m not a fan of timed puzzles and just don’t feel like it’s worth $6. Cute but not great.

Hidden objects

This is a fun game (the puzzles start off crazy easy, but they’re just teaching you the conventions for later puzzles). The biggest problem is that there are also Hidden Object puzzles.

I avoid hidden object games because my eyesight is not great and the phone is already tiny. Now that I’ve figured out what’s going on, I’ve accepted that I have to enlarge the screen and scan every pixel — I know I’m not the game’s demographic, so that’s fine. I just wish I had known ahead of time.

You can play it without the hidden objects, but then you don’t get to go to evil clown heaven at the end. And really, shouldn’t everyone be welcome in evil clown heaven? I’m just saying.

Love it

I love how there’s not even any instructions to play you just have to figure it out on your own

Response from developer

Thanks!

Frustrated on first level!

I only got one puzzle piece. I’m supposed to get 2. I don’t know how to get the second one or what creates them. I cannot repeat the tutorial to find out what happens when the box shakes or WHY the box shakes. The words disappeared too fast, and now I cannot access the tutorial again. Frustrating!

Gane is Fun, Clown is a Drag

I get it: The menacing clown is the central theme. And I don’t mind him popping out every now and then to annoy me. But the constant banging from inside the box is not really artful; it’s disruptive annoying — and it’s pretty distracting when I’m trying to solve a particularly knotty puzzle. Maybe “Turn Banging Off” could be an option in the settings.

Boring

Boring

Too easy

Game is too easy and relies heavily on interrupting your puzzles instead of challenging you. Embedding the 2nd puzzle pieces on the box was clever but once you knew they were simple to find and didn’t require revisits to levels.

Thought the expert levels would get tough but they took barely any extra time. Less than a day of entertainment all up.

Awesome game but bug fix

Every time I watch the ad for a hint it goes off might need to fix that

Help!

I love this game, but I have now played every Part One of each level and the Epilogue. But now I can’t figure out how to get to play the Part Two if each level and collect the second half of the puzzle pieces. HELP!

Response from developer

Thank you very much for the comment!

Can’t get 10 out of 10 puzzle pieces

How do you get ALL the puzzle pieces? Played the full game twice and still only get 10 out of 20 pieces on each box.

Response from developer

Thank you for the comment! There are pieces hidden in the levels.

Игра максимально унылая

Совершенно скучная игра, никакой логики в головоломках, могли бы сделать хоть пару нормальных уровней, так нет же, просто тыкай и все, уровень пройден, эта игра -10000/10 по сложности

Great idea, Heats up phone, Not hard enough for money paid out

I really enjoy this game. I’ve been trying to find one like this that gets my mind working. It’s a great Concept. I only wish it was harder and the levels had more to them or went on longer. After spending 6 quid i found I was halfway through so quickly and not much of a challenge, the puzzles repeat themselves just look slightly different, once you got the hang of it once you no the rest. And sadly it’s over working my phone. It’s the only app and game I use that really heats up the back of my phone as I play, like noticeable hot!
