So to enter, you either fork out the $4.99 for unlimited hints, or watch a 30 second ad. Not a great way to bring a person into the game. That’s the main problem of this game, random mini-games thrown at you, with no rhyme or reason on how to accomplish them. Walking through many endless hallways with little to no eye-candy, leads to quite a bit of boredom. With that said, the graphics are good, but not as spectacular as some Developer’s games in the genre. The mid point of this game (35 out of 72 total screens), which is a rather small game, the message comes up, pay $4.99 or the game ends. I ended it. If the game had been more enthralling, I would have had no problem paying, but this turned out to be a bit of a waste. ### 3/5 — Need an interactive map! *2021-07-09* I love these games, but navigation is too stressful..even when you buy the game and get hints as to where to go next, it’s a pain to get to the location. I just dont get it why you can’t click on the scene where you need to go and get there. Ruins this very clever puzzle adventure game 😒 ### 2/5 — Unhappy *2021-06-27, version 1.4* I wasn’t happy with this game because I couldn’t understand from the note in a book. I really want click for hint but it show to be pay. I don’t understand this game very clearly. It seem very confusing game. Yes it’s fun. ### 4/5 — Glitch *2020-12-21, version 1.4* I love the game but when I got to the part where u have to move the flags to light the lanterns I did I correct and nothing ### 2/5 — Hollywood Motel *2020-11-21* Ich habe alle Spiele gespielt und dieses auch wieder blind gekauft. Leider bin ich diesmal sehr enttäuscht, man rennt hin her. Einiges wurde verbessert, wie die Puzzleerklärung, schön wäre es aber wenn man auch hier schnell reisen könnte. Es macht so keinen wirklichen Spaß. Ich bezahle gerne für gute Spiele und auch für Zusatzfunktionen. Eine nachträgliche Programmierung wäre wünschenswert, vorher werde ich das Spiel leider nicht weiterspielen. Ging bei den anderen Spielen ja auch. Bitte Nachbessern. Danke. Deswegen auch nur 2 Sterne. ### 4/5 — Question - where is the screw driver *2020-11-17, version 1.2* I am in the VIP room in the airplane - need a screw driver - went back to each site and could not find it. Need help Cuz cannot go on with opening the box on the wall - otherwise game is ok for its cost. ### 5/5 — scary game *2020-11-06, version 1.2* this game is very scary for me! I saw nightmares after playing it! YES! This game is good and I liked it but it was very scary. I liked the depth of graphics and a good plot for the thriller but it turned out to be too much for me. ### 5/5 — Gloomy but exciting *2020-11-06* I like the puzzles in this game, but sometimes they are too hard to solve. I will be patient and try again. The storyline is so interesting 🤔 that I really want to know what will happen next. ### 5/5 — Nice. *2020-11-06, version 1.2* I’m already have a pro version, but this one is good too. I first went through this version, and then switched to pro. 👍🏻 ### 5/5 — Cool *2020-11-06, version 1.2* Game has really nice atmosphere. I like how it’s designed, pictures are great, sounds picked awesome, too. Great game to waste some time and feel the atmosphere of halloween! ### 4/5 — Good point and click but don’t buy hints *2020-11-06* If you like point and clicks you’ll like this one. I paid for unlimited hints and am not too happy that the hints are like “go to S23 and solve the puzzle.” Only pay for hints if you want to support the developer - not for actual hints. **Developer response:** Hello! Per your feedback, we are working on additional hints for the puzzles, so when you zoom to the puzzle, there will be a button that will guide you on solving the zoom puzzles. Appreciate your feedback, and we will be pushing to expedite this update in the next few weeks! Midnight Adventures ### 5/5 — scary and exciting *2020-11-05* I love to play this game because it has a lot of levels that require attention and logical thinking. For me, this is very good that this game is not easy. I like logical games and the harder it is - the better for me. There are a lot of actions and locations to explore. ### 5/5 — Love it ! *2020-11-05* Best game ive played in ages ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Glitchy game *2022-11-17, version 1.4* Can’t get past the electric fence. Put in 2705 for the first half of the code, and it won’t take any other number. No hints, and the puzzles are nearly impossible without some kind of hint. The “notes” aren’t legible, and are nonsensical. This was the strangest attempt at a game. ### 1/5 — I'm disappointed without Chinese *2022-05-11, version 1.4* Before, his game supported Chinese. I had a good time. However, there is no Chinese in the recent models. I am very disappointed. I hope that the next update game can support Chinese - whether trial version or official version ### 1/5 — ????? *2021-02-05* I love this type of game, but this one made no sense. Even when I found solutions, I didn’t know how or why. I deleted this because it was too confusing and I never felt satisfied after solving a puzzle or anything. Satisfaction for this type of game relies on the user finding clues and figuring out in a logical way how to come up with a solution. There is no logic here... only disappointment. ### 1/5 — No clues *2021-01-09, version 1.4* I could not see any clues for solving the puzzles. ### 1/5 — One of their worst *2021-01-04, version 1.4* I downloaded all apps by this developer after absolutely loving the first one I played. I was VERY disappointed. No hints, but watch an ad and it will let you skip the puzzle. What fun is that? I am an avid escape room player, and I couldn’t even find how to enter the hotel at the very beginning without skipping the first puzzle! ### 1/5 — Don’t spend money. You can’t finish the game anyways *2020-11-19, version 1.3* It glitches a ton. Can’t get past the puzzle in the fragile box because I can’t click on anything. I saw in a video I was right. Don’t even play this. Unless you want a headache wondering what you’re doing wrong when you’re doing everything right. ### 1/5 — Not well thought out *2020-11-01* The story makes no sense. I have no idea what half the clues mean and there’s only a skip feature, not a hint feature. Some of the puzzles you can solve before you have the clue but it doesn’t “activate” unless you’ve gotten that clue first... so the puzzle is solved just nothing happens. The game is free so I guess it’s okay but I can’t imagine paying for it. I’d be so irritated. ### 1/5 — So Weak *2020-10-31, version 1.2* The navigation is pathetic and the puzzles make no sense what so ever. Maybe look at how most of these types of games are laid out and take notes. I’m sure there are rooms I’m missing because there is no order to anything. I solved no puzzles in a half hour. Not ever puzzles that you can solve by process of elimination. Lol. Try again. ### 1/5 — See WWR26 review *2020-10-31* ... which says it all. I gave up about 10 minutes into the free trial. ### 1/5 — Hab den Kauf bereut *2020-10-31* Megakurz. Miese Story. Ohne Hilfe kaum zu lösen, daher Hints für teures Geld gekauft. Trotzdem kann man dann nur skippen, wenn man die Lösung nicht weiß. Keine Erklärung zur Rätsellösung. Karte nicht zum springen geeignet, man verbringt die meiste Zeit damit, durch die Gegend zu irren. Absoluter Fehlkauf. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Nice game *2025-07-12* Solid game. The puzzles were at a good difficulty, to where I didn’t need any hints but it was satisfying when I solved them. The notes system with the book was really good too. The tone was ominous/spooky, but once I figured out the vibe and how things worked it wasn’t scary (coming from a total chicken). ### 5/5 — Great escape puzzle adventure *2022-07-07* I do not understand the negative reviews for this game. The puzzles were challenging but still intuitive. The game makes notes for you so there is no need for a pen and paper. There is a bit and back and forth but most locations branch off from one main locale. I live for escape games and this one (and the others from this developer) are a welcome diversion. The graphics are fine, no lag, and the length is much longer than many games ( a few hours of good solid distraction). I truly feel that this game lines up right with this developers other releases, maybe a bit better even. Please keep them coming. Note to the developer: thank you for offering a free option/trial. I love to try a game first to see if I like the game. Due to the free trials that you offered, I have fully purchased every game that you have offered, even though I could have gotten by with the free version. ### 5/5 — Liked it *2021-08-04, version 1.4* Good game. Not overloaded with jumping between scenes and puzzles make sense. Thank you. ### 5/5 — mystery motel *2021-02-08, version 1.4* This game rocks really ### 5/5 — Awesome *2020-11-21, version 1.3* Loved it, cheers! 👍🏼 ### 5/5 — Normal *2020-11-08, version 1.2* This game is quite simple but at the same time still fascinating, so you can play for a while ### 5/5 — Very exciting *2020-11-08, version 1.2* Very exciting game for those who like different puzzles. It is really very intriguing and challenging. Great graphics, everything looks very real. ### 5/5 — Nice *2020-11-08, version 1.2* This game has a great mystical mood. The atmosphere is pumping up that mysterious. Play this game with sound, if you can. Murder in a hotel is a great plot point. It is very interesting to know what really happened. ### 5/5 — Mysterious game *2020-11-07* This game is very entangled and I like that. I like to play it and solve various puzzles that are connected with the same plot of the thriller. I like that there are a lot of locations and a lot of activities. it is a little scary but really great. ### 5/5 — Mysterious *2020-11-07, version 1.2* Wonderful gameplay and amazing graphics! For those who like to solve puzzles and be involved in a mysterious atmosphere --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
