### 5/5 — Exceptional game

*2026-07-14, version 1.0.4*

This has been a fantastic game to play with complex puzzles which makes it hard to put down. I hope there will be a Rooms Five!!

### 5/5 — A classic

*2026-07-06, version 1.0.4*

Returned to this game after a gap of 10+ years. It remains one of the very best of its type, challenged only by the House of Da Vinci series. Wish there were more like this, combining stunning graphics with sophisticated gameplay.

### 5/5 — Addicting Game

*2026-07-05, version 1.0.4*

Please create more games.

### 5/5 — Absolutely fantastic!

*2026-07-03, version 1.0.4*

As usual for the series, this game is phenomenal!  It does not disappoint. If you are a puzzle solver, this entire series is for you. I will say this one was a bit tougher than previous and there were a few times i couldn’t find the connection but I am still pleased with the game overall. I cannot wait for the next installment (please tell me there will be a next one).

### 5/5 — Absolutely the best!

*2026-06-28, version 1.0.4*

Happily will pay for something so beautifully and thoughtfully made

### 5/5 — Absolutely Brilliant Game

*2026-06-22, version 1.0.4*

Couldn’t put this game down, I completed it in less than a day! Fantastic puzzles, storyline and graphics, well worth the purchase!

### 5/5 — Just amazing

*2026-06-18, version 1.0.4*

In an App Store, full of monotonous games that nearly all require some form of pay to play, this is refreshing. This reminds me of some of the classics from the 1990s such as 7th Guest. Great, engaging, puzzle games that make you think but don’t inundate you with ads. I would gladly pay over and over again and upfront. Fee for quality games like this.

### 5/5 — Excellent Game

*2026-06-13, version 1.0.4*

Can’t remember when I bought this game but it was so good I bought the other two games after this one if u love puzzle games give it a try

### 5/5 — I CAN’T GET ENOUGH!!

*2026-05-29, version 1.0.4*

I have been playing “The Room” series games for a couple of years now. I have played The Room 3 multiple times with the varied endings, and now this masterpiece. I have recently gotton a VR headset with The Room VR: A Dark Matter. That game so far is addictive, and I am excited to see ehat puzzles and thrills are in store. I have heard about another game called Ghost Town by Fireproof games, and I hear it is incredible. The puzzles in the Room series are always fun, imagineative, and sometimes a pain. The graphics are great, and I will continue to play these games as long as I can, and as long as they are made.

### 5/5 — Speed run

*2026-05-29, version 1.0.4*

Woah! Wow! I absolutely loved every single game I bought every one of these apps and speed ran it finished them all in like a week. It’s so much fun and addicting. I wish there was more like this! If the creators make more someone needs to let me know cause woah!

### 5/5 — Amazing !!

*2026-05-26, version 1.0.4*

Brilliant.   Agree with others at least twice as much game as any of the first 3 installments.    Please make another !!

### 5/5 — Yes

*2026-05-21, version 1.0.4*

Good, I liked it, nice game, but i want more

### 5/5 — Begging for more!

*2026-05-20, version 1.0.4*

(SPOILERS AHEAD!)




The only one I haven’t played yet is the VR game “A Dark Matter” but I have beaten all four other games multiple times now. This series is amazing and I am begging for a continuation so we can see more of the null planet from 3 or other characters’ POV. (Perhaps A.S. before his death, Margaret before her imprisonment, or even Abigail’s escape of Waldegrave manor and how she trapped the null within the dollhouse?) All I know is this is one of, if not my absolute, favorite game series. There’s a reason it sits at 4.9 stars on the App Store right now. 💖💖💖💖

### 5/5 — Still excellent in 2026

*2026-05-20, version 1.0.4*

Holds up extremely well. Highly recommended.

### 5/5 — Wowzers….

*2026-05-18, version 1.0.4*

Very good - recommended. Good story and amazing realisation, very smooth and hellish difficult!!

### 4/5 — Interesting entry

*2026-05-15, version 1.0.4*

I was a bit concerned coming into the fourth entry because I have read some optimization problems of the UI not cooperating due to not being able to fit into the screen that my iPhone resolution can bring. There’s also some bugs and glitches that I’ve heard that made me wait it out for many years (also due to personal life). Thankfully, coming into this entry many years later…all of the issues have been resolved.  The puzzles are a bit more lenient this time around and those that wanted a more linear experience will feel right at home. The atmosphere of Room universe remain great as ever and the music is sublime as usual. I will say I do have to agree with the reviews saying that the Art World is pretty short…not sure if there’s was a sense of development issues in the last stretches, but at least the overall gameplay remains pretty consistently solid. The ending definitely feels like an interesting loophole that could potentially open the loophole if the developer wishes to continue this franchise. If not, that’s also fine as I got great games that I have offloaded to come back to another time. So yeah, if you wanted more of what the original Room games with a bit more of the third game added into the mix…then this is the game for you. Cost is a tad more expensive, but all four games cost less than $20 overall and is a great indie series.Looking forward to what Fireproof has to offer in the near future! (Rating:4/5)

### 5/5 — Captivating

*2026-05-12, version 1.0.4*

I’m not much for playing games but this one its exceptional in every way. The graphics are well designed and thought out, and the rooms themselves are so very creative. I started playing the first series thinking I’ll play it a little while until I’m bored with, but with this game you never get bored. YOU JUST GET CAPTIVATED.

### 5/5 — Incredible as always

*2026-05-10, version 1.0.4*

This is the only game series I think I’ve played every entry in (VR included) front to back and there’s a reason for that. I’m always shocked that more people don’t know about these games!

### 4/5 — good but too straight forward.

*2026-05-08, version 1.0.4*

been keen on this game series since the first room and the di vinci one… really glad to see it’s still going. it was fun but i missed how much there was to explore and how hidden away key details were in the earlier games. i was missing a real challenge. also, i think it took longer for the hints to load in the older ones? it was good, gave you more time to have to troubleshoot the next move on your own. looking forward to the next release

### 5/5 — The Best

*2026-05-07, version 1.0.4*

This is definitely top 5 best games on mobile

### 1/5 — Worst one! Makes no sense!

*2026-03-28, version 1.0.4*

I love this game but not old sins. It makes no sense and is not enjoyable since it’s not very clear how any of these puzzles tie to each other. I’ve had to use the hint way too many times for this one. Other ones were amazing. I deleted it after it started glitching for a mechanically stupid puzzle with demon heads. Just started spinning non stop after a while because it makes no sense to solve the way I’m supposed to. Wish I could get my money back for the most expensive but worst one! Just skip this version honestly.

### 1/5 — Not fun

*2026-03-23, version 1.0.4*

Too much reading and you don’t get to figure things out in the order you want.  It tells you what you need to do.  Found it extremely annoying,

### 1/5 — KAP

*2026-02-17, version 1.0.4*

Having completed all Room games again as a running set, one after the other - this being the seventh time, I feel utter real disappointment! Again!!! Disappointment that they have been completed! 
Having just finished Sins I know I will have to wait another six months or a year before I can start the whole process again! 
The graphics, intrigue and challenges for all Room episodes are carefully balanced to create enough frustration to have to put it down, think about it, then need to pick it up again. The high variety of complication associated with resolving stages, relieves a stressed mind as it takes concentration, observation and mood to get through them. The challenge for the developers is to be as innovative, each time, to make the next edition as interesting and challenging without being impossible. 
Please do some more!  
Not seen anything from Fireproof for ages! If there is anyone left out there that have not ventured into all versions of Room, you have missed out! Big time! Ageless and timeless entertainment! Highly recommended!

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2025-11-04*

Game doesmt load/open, iphone 16 pro max fully updated.

### 1/5 — Not eye sight friendly

*2025-10-17, version 1.0.4*

I had to delete the app because I couldn’t zoom in to read what it even said…. Waste of money if you don’t have well above average eye sight

### 1/5 — Please fix this!

*2025-06-20, version 1.0.4*

This game is 5 stars, I really do love it, but trying to replay it now on the iphone 16 doesn't work. The bar at the top of my screen (left side when turned sideways) blocks the inventory, making the game completely unplayable. Please fix this! I want to play this game again and delete this review!

### 1/5 — Great game but not updated for new devices

*2025-06-06, version 1.0.4*

I absolutely love this game and the entire franchise, but when attempting to replay them on IPhone 16 Pro Max, it fills the screen and the side with items becomes completely covered by the camera bar.  Until this is fixed, I pretty much can’t even play the game, so 1 star review it is

### 1/5 — Ui doesn’t work

*2024-12-27, version 1.0.4*

The ui in the app is so tiny, it makes it near impossible to drag items from the toolbar to use them.

### 1/5 — Stuck

*2023-08-10, version 1.0.4*

Does anyone get stuck?  I am stuck and there is no extra option to get help or move on??

### 1/5 — Can’t play on the iPhone 11

*2020-08-22*

The notch on the screen blocks the inventory so I can’t use any items. It’s a shame because I know these games are amazing.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — more, more, more Room games please

*2026-08-22, version 1.0.4*

the best and most realistic Room game out there and the game is so much fun! I did the game together with my 11 year old daughter and we had great time bonding. it thought us how to look for clues and deduct the next steps. simply brilliant.

### 5/5 — So addictive can’t stop

*2026-08-15, version 1.0.4*

I love this game so much! From the moment start to finish, every single stage is fascinating and fanatic! No jump scary but pure puzzles solve! I couldn’t stop playing but had to finish it at once! Spent 10hr and 56 min to get through the game! Need some hints here and there but overall, player can enjoy the game without much help yet still challenging enough! This game is an absolute must buy and classical collection for those who love the escape rooms! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

### 5/5 — Such a solid series of games

*2026-08-15, version 1.0.4*

I only recently discovered these games. As an avid puzzler and a lover of sci-fi, these games are a wonderful way to spend my evenings. 

I have purchased and played the entire series in order and I have thoroughly enjoyed the progression and captivating stories and challenges they bring. 

They get gradually more developed and detailed and it is well worth playing them in order to experience the evolution of gameplay. 

I am currently working my way through this latest instalment and it’s a joy to play. 

Can’t recommend it enough. 

I hope they keep releasing them. 5 stars for all of them.

Well done! 👏🏼

### 5/5 — I don’t write reviews…

*2026-08-04, version 1.0.4*

I have to say, I never usually take the time to write reviews, but the room series has to be the best game I’ve played on the iPad. Truly immersive, no bugs or lag (for me), amazing graphics. I just wish there were more!

### 5/5 — Thank You, Sir… Can I Have Another?

*2026-07-26, version 1.0.4*

Well due to my unwavering autism and my penchant for putting off tackling games with total commitment on my iPhone… it took me time (about 6 years) to focus and boldly set out to completely conquer yet another wonderful story within a game within a puzzle of quagmires. I would like to hope for another game, but with this edition having come out over 8 years ago, it seems unlikely and yet I will occasionally check if Abigail has returned… er I mean to see if a new game becomes available for my next half a decade of deliberate but plodding achievement.

### 5/5 — Clever game

*2026-07-22, version 1.0.4*

Thoroughly enjoyed this whole series. Gutted there won’t be more. Thank you for the pleasure! <3

### 5/5 — AMAZING GRAPHICS

*2026-07-22, version 1.0.4*

Super fun, not too difficult yet challenging. Loved it

### 5/5 — Fun, as always.

*2026-07-21, version 1.0.4*

Had a blast playing. Same spooky feel and interesting puzzles. Give me more!

### 5/5 — The Room:Old Sins

*2026-07-21, version 1.0.4*

Great Game. Love all the levels. Thanks for the hints.

### 5/5 — Brilliant Chaos!

*2026-07-17, version 1.0.4*

Please continue making these great games, the ending was such a twist!
