### 1/5 — Creator is obviously forcing you to watch ads

*2020-04-04, version 1.45*

Any time I would try to get a hint from the game you have to watch a 15-30 second ad and half of the time it would say it would not work after I watch the ad, the game is overall boring and not fun, not to mention he tried to make you rate it 5 stars like a scum bag, game is horrible don’t download it, it’s a waste of you’re time.

### 5/5 — Kinda hard

*2019-08-29, version 1.34*

It really is hard

### 5/5 — Me

*2019-07-25, version 1.33*

I love this app and all of the other ones I hope u make more

### 5/5 — Awesome!!

*2019-06-30, version 1.33*

I absolutely love it! I love how we just have to watch ads to get coins for hints! Definitely recommend playing!!

### 1/5 — Terrible game!!

*2019-06-21, version 1.33*

I’m only on level two and i already hate it! it doesn’t even make sense! how do i “stun the player” like it says in the hint? i just don’t get it! Also, i used a hint to tell me that and i needed another one, so i wasted another 20 coins just to get the same hint!

### 5/5 — LOVE

*2019-06-03, version 1.32*

I personally love this game I give it 5 stars cause it helps you focus and doesn’t frustrate you like every other game does and the price amount for hints is affordable I hope y’all would enjoy this

### 1/5 — Didn’t like the game at all

*2019-04-22, version 1.32*

There is almost no way of figuring out most of them because the answers make literally no sense at all. You have to watch videos over and over to receive coins so it will give you the answer. Then you move to the next one and it’s just as dumb. 

None of the answers make any sense at all so no one would ever think to do it, meaning all your going to be doing is watching videos to get coins to get answers. Over and over and over.

### 5/5 — Very good game

*2019-04-22, version 1.31*

Its a very fun game and great to play when trying to pass time. Right amount of challenge. Overall a great game!😁

### 5/5 — Wow!

*2019-02-24, version 1.30*

Well what can I say about Tricky Challenge 3? I don’t know, I’ve never played it.

### 5/5 — Very Enjoyable!

*2019-02-17, version 1.28*

I really do like this game and I suggest you to get. It tests out your mentality and your IQ. These brain exercises are so much fun and are such an awesome time killer. I shall rare this game 5 stars😁!
