### 1/5 — Something flawed in current version

*2018-05-21, version 1.02*

Also instructions say they bother cannot be with daughters alone and the mother cannot be with the sons alone, in the actual game, it says the mother cannot be with sons alone and mothers cannot be with daughters alone.  I think there is a glitch....

### 2/5 — Needs to be fixed

*2016-10-09, version 1.02*

The game has only one scenario and the help text is trimmed at the end. It needs to be fixed. I recommend "The River Tests" by SolverLabs

### 5/5 — Great game

*2016-06-13, version 1.02*

It’s a very fun game to play. At first it’s very frustrating and it may become more boring for some it takes a while. As you get closer and closer to finding out the solution, you get the rush of excitement and in the end when you do figure it out, you feel good about yourself. This game is so fun and useful for people to train their brain
