### 2/5 — Vile!

*2025-04-11, version 1.13*

As soon as I load it up it ask. Me for a pattern, but it’s my first time playing I don’t know what pattern is!!!!!

### 4/5 — A brilliant Puzzle game for Whovians that doesn’t overstay its welcome

*2025-01-23*

Very much enjoyed the overall story of this game and how it follows up on the story of Sally and Larry from “Blink”. A little buggy at times but overall enjoyed it. My only real complaint is that the secret ending is bugged in that it will play the first part but then the app totally freezes. Ended up having to watch the full ending on YouTube

### 4/5 — Really engaging game

*2024-11-15, version 1.13*

This has got to be one of the most engaging and immersive games I have payed, I felt like i was IN the doctor who universe and this game is quite unique and well done

### 3/5 — Fun but mid

*2023-08-03, version 1.13*

I love doctor who and i loved the little things like rani from sarah jane in it and sally! but the ending was absolutely ridiculous like so silly, i get jts hard because it is on phone but paying for the game to not actually do much and for angels talking and texting “NOOO” is genuinely ridiculous and took me straight out of the immersion, bit let down.

### 3/5 — Not worth the money

*2023-04-09*

The game was GREAT! Very fun. But took less than an hour to complete and it’s a one-and-done so it’s not worth the money. I’d happily change my review if more content was added for no cost.

### 5/5 — Great Game!

*2022-11-13, version 1.13*

As a Doctor Who fan, I love this! There’s so much to this, and everything is well done. I love how there’s so much things to play with in this game. Sometimes it gets a little intense, which fits the theme. The only problem is that I wish the game is longer, or maybe make multiple episodes, or chapters. I’d much like to pay for a new one if it ever comes out!

### 3/5 — Paid for upgrade.App still says Freeplay

*2022-03-25*

I enjoyed the freeplay version very much and payed for the upgrade through the app. It still says Freeplay and I don’t think anything was added to the game. If I am wrong please help me figure out what needs to be done and I will definitely make my rating a 5 star.

**Developer response:** Hi there, if you played through to unlocking the second set of clues, that's where the freeplay version ends, by upgrading, you then unlock the rest of the game. Hope that helps. If you're having an issue, please send us an email at help@maze-theory.com and we'll see what we can do

### 5/5 — It was really fun

*2022-03-07*

It’s a fun, short game!

### 5/5 — Fantastic Game

*2022-02-08, version 1.13*

I don’t normally play this sort of game, however I had a blast playing this one. Easy to use and challenged the mind enough to be enjoyable.

### 5/5 — Great game!!

*2022-01-09*

If you want to immerse yourself in a doctor who adventure, this is the perfect game to do it!!!

### 2/5 — Too short, no challenge and no conclusion

*2022-01-03, version 1.13*

Wasn’t worth the price. No thinking involved as it spoon feeds you from start to end.

### 5/5 — Don’t blink!

*2022-01-01, version 1.13*

This game has me hooked from the beginning, perfectly capturing the fear of facing down a Weeping Angel in the show.
The only difference?
You are now in the firing lines. 
This game is a brilliant way to spend a couple of hours if you are a fan of horror games or Doctor Who.
One complaint is that it advertised itself as free. It isn’t . You have to pay for the full game. But it isn’t a lot and (in my opinion) is worth it

### 2/5 — Good but very short

*2021-11-28*

So one the unlock is costs more than buying the full game so I wish it had done that and replayed what I already finished because it's very short just one mystery. Or it was just one app that says enjoy the first chapter free and then unlock the rest of the game.

Does have a lot of references to the main show even noticed some to The Sarah Jane adventures which was cool. The ending does seem like the game will continue so will it? I'd love to play more but without it specifically say more adventures coming soon it's hard to tell.

### 3/5 — I liked it but I didn’t

*2021-10-31, version 1.13*

I sort of enjoyed it but I didn’t enjoy it that you add to pay for the next part and I was a bit angry at this!

### 5/5 — AMAZING!

*2021-10-11, version 1.13*

Wow. What. A. Game. 

This game satisfied my Who-Craving while waiting for Series 13 to start. The whole thing was a great experience and I played it multiple times discovering new things during each play-through. My only complaints about the game are that the game doesn’t fill the whole screen when playing on an iPhone and that it’s TOO SHORT!!! I personally think that for the 2 hours it took me to complete the game, it wasn’t really worth the 6 dollar (Canadian) price tag, but overall really great. I love all the tie-ins with Blink and the now-known teasers for Series 13. THANK YOU BBC AND MAZE THEORY!!!

### 2/5 — U Serious? EVERYsingleTIME!

*2021-08-11, version 1.08*

So recently, I’ve been feeling reeeeeeeealy board. So I decided 2 download a new game (I no! Unheard of.) and I thought, ‘what better game 2 download, than 1 about Doctor who?’ 
   So, I go on AppStore, search it up, and see this game, & I think ‘brilliant, a free Doctor who game!’ So, i download the game, & i start 2 play it- well I try 2 anyway.
  Well, what happened is, I turned it on, & I watched through all the company names &the Dr who theme and agreed 2 all the terms & services, and then I get to the game screen, & at this point, I’m really nervous coz I’m praying w/ my fingers crossed that it’s a good game. 
   So, I click on the new game button.
The screen goes black.
At first I just thought it was loading.
So I waited.
I hear some faint static.
Then, my game crashed.
U Serious? Yes I am.
I don’t no wat the problem is, but every time I try, the same thing happens. 
   EVERYsingleTIME!
I’m shore it’s a good game, but, seriously, help me out here!
  I’m shore no1 will read this, but if u do, thx

### 4/5 — Good, but, short.

*2021-07-22*

Was really good, but, took less then an hour. Please add new chapters, or something.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the kind words! I'll share your feedback with the team! :)

### 1/5 — In shambles

*2023-04-23, version 1.13*

I played this game and bought it for £4.99 when it had first came out, I love doctor who and blink is my second favourite episode after silence in the library, anyway so I thought hey let’s re-download it and try something different and it only lets me play the free play version it wants me to pay another £4 to play the whole game which I already purchased

### 1/5 — Wouldn’t do anything

*2022-06-18*

I downloaded the app. I couldn’t get past the first screen where you enter your pattern. So I read the online cheats and tried again. No luck. So I deleted the program, downloaded it again and tried another time. No luck. I don’t see how to play a game that doesn’t allow you to get beyond the opening screen.

### 1/5 — Fix fix fix

*2021-07-13*

Everytime I play it crashes, also I entered the date, order Id, and delivered perfectly and NOTHING. But the main issue is it crashes EVERYTIME I PLAY

**Developer response:** Hi Jimmystar,

Could you please email me at help@maze-theory.com and we'll get this fixed for you! Thank you for your patience. 

Andrew.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work bruv

*2021-06-27, version 1.1*

Doesn’t work bruv innit? Curry sauce and hot chips with chinese food n warm beer init yeah?

### 1/5 — Not working for me

*2021-06-22, version 1.1*

All I get is a blank screen once the app is downloaded, so sadly cannot use this.

### 1/5 — App won’t even load

*2021-06-21, version 1.1*

I’m really upset because I’ve been waiting for this game for ages, thought I might try the free play before whole game, but it’s just a black screen. So disappointed rn.

### 1/5 — Game doesn’t load

*2021-06-21, version 1.1*

Black screen when trying to open on iPhone with latest iOS- you’d think the developers would have tested this?

### 1/5 — Won’t work

*2021-06-20*

I’ve tried downloading three times and it won’t even open.

**Developer response:** Hi Sshipper,



Sorry again you've had issues. Excited to say we've updated the game this weekend and the black screen issue should now be resolved.



Hoping this fixes your problems! :) 



Thanks for your patience!
Andrew.

### 1/5 — The game is not working

*2021-06-20, version 1.1*

When i downloaded the game and clicked on it so that I could play it, the app opened but all I got was a black screen.

### 1/5 — Free app doesn’t work ☹️

*2021-06-20, version 1.1*

Wanted to try the free version before paying for the full game, unfortunately the free one just comes up with a black screen so won’t be spending any money on the full game if this is the case.

### 5/5 — This game

*2024-12-11, version 1.13*

This game is so fun

### 5/5 — Exiting!

*2024-07-25, version 1.13*

It is the best thing ever!!!!!!!!

### 5/5 — Really slick game

*2024-07-06, version 1.13*

Very enjoyable, I’ll play it more than once.

### 5/5 — Fantastic!

*2024-07-04, version 1.13*

I absolutely love Doctor Who, but all of the games I’ve tried so far have been lacklustre and boring. This one, however, was engaging and had me gripped from the start. 
I loved every single part of it, from the plot line (which follows the story of Blink, but from a future perspective, and with Osgood!) to the puzzles, the music and the mysteries and just all of it, to be honest. Another thing I love is how true it is to the story of Blink and generally incorporates a lot of NuWho’s Doctors, and the characters being used just seem like themselves..
I’m looking forward to playing this again and again - even though I know roughly what’s going to happen, there are so many different choices I could make to get different results, I feel like I could play this forever.
Sorry if this was too long of a review for anyone, but I simply cannot emphasise how brilliant of a game this is - well worth £3.99, and I’d be happy to pay it again!
10/10!

### 5/5 — Please make more!

*2024-05-24*

The best game ever. Incredible detail & acting.

### 5/5 — WhAt A GamE

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2023-09-13, version 1.13*

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2023-03-01*

This was absolutely Fantastic! I love everything about it! You even used mythology references and used the doctor clip from the show! Not only that you incorporated the angles into the screen perfectly! And the choices are great too! I wish it was longer but that’s cause it’s so good! I hope you make more of these in the future!

### 5/5 — Love this game
