The AI players are unbalanced: making $100K ahead of the real player, unable to progress the game. ### 3/5 — Pretty fun *2023-10-27, version 0.1.476* Not too bad ### 2/5 — Kinda scammed me *2023-10-22* Ok so I’d like to start this off by saying the game is not bad. I didn’t get it at first but once I caught in it was kinda fun. However, these guys came to my college and hosted a little tournament where the people on top get a bunch of money. Basically the top three got huge prizes and the top eight won a hundred dollars so still pretty good. I finished in the top eight but they just didn’t give me any money. I don’t think they really scammed me because I didn’t lose anything except for my afternoon but it was still pretty uncool to lie about giving everyone money just so they play your game. ### 2/5 — Nope. *2023-01-26* I was so excited to start playing this game. I love the idea being put into the game but the game is tooo glitchy. I had to uninstall after playing with it for 10 mins cause it wouldn’t let me do anything. I love it being ad free too. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2022-09-30* I downloaded the app, only to be instantly disappointed. It won’t even let me create an account to play. **Developer response:** Hi, sorry to hear you’ve been experiencing some crash issues. Please contact us at Support@VentureValleyGame.com and we will definitely investigate your case. Thank you for posting! ### 3/5 — Keeps stalling *2022-08-01* So far game is great only complaint is the game will freeze on me every time a tutorial pops up. I can’t move on, I’ll exit the game and comeback in but it’s still froze up. **Developer response:** Hi, sorry to hear you’ve been experiencing some crash issues. Please contact us at Support@VentureValleyGame.com and share as much information as you can. We will definitely investigate your case and work on fixing that issue. Thank you for posting! ### 1/5 — Explanation *2022-07-19* This game doesn’t give any instruction on how to sell what you need to win the matches. I couldn’t figure out where my person was or what I was doing. **Developer response:** Sorry to hear that you were having issues with the gameplay. At the beginning of every match you should see a list of challenges that let you know what you need to sell. You can also replay the tutorials to get a better grasp on the game mechanics. You can visit our website www.VentureValleyGame.com for a full tutorial on how to play and master the game. Hope you give us another chance and we look forward to hearing your feedback as we continue to improve the game! ### 5/5 — I love this game *2022-04-02* Definitely a get entrepreneur mindset game get you out of the consumer mindset ### 5/5 — 2 much fun *2022-03-05* Can’t stop playing this amazing game ### 5/5 — Amazing game *2022-02-21, version 0.1.389* Amazing game, great to learn finance and very addicting. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No good at all *2025-02-25* It takes it so long to load. It has so many adds. In my opinion it’s not worth anything. The best part is the first level. ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time *2025-02-02, version 0.6.2* Needs closing down & fixing completely crashed on phone and won’t load ! ### 1/5 — Can’t play *2023-12-17, version 0.2.484* I can’t even play this game I downloaded it and if I try to play it kicks me out of the game on mobile FIX THIS PROBLEM PLEASE ### 1/5 — Don’t bother *2023-11-12* I can’t even play the game. I keep getting a max number of Pet walking bought error when I try to place it. There is no tutorial on how this works and it’s very slow and glitchy definitely not worth the download **Developer response:** Hi RaineChamp82, you cannot build multiple of the same businesses. The game is best explained through the solo mode tutorial. ### 1/5 — Can only play it once *2023-07-07* This game is really fun.

Can’t even play ### 1/5 — Buggy *2022-10-23* It’s a fun game but the bugs are so crazy, I can’t even play the game because it’s stuck on something that isn’t even there. Or it says to press a button, but the button is covered by the dialogue box and there’s no way around it. Totally lame and disappointing. **Developer response:** Hi, sorry to hear you’ve been experiencing some issues.

This combination leads to the making of an incredible app that easily leads you through the instructions and is very instructional about the core aspects of a business ownership. ### 5/5 — I downloaded this game today and I will play it for weeks to come *2022-11-13* It’s amazing ### 5/5 — Not bad at all *2022-11-02* Pretty fun game. Something different. It’s one of those games you just randomly play but when you do play it you play for hours unknowingly ### 5/5 — Truly Free - Can’t Wait for Future Versions *2022-10-25* This game is truly 100% free and NO ADS! I’m honestly so grateful for it! The levels are hella cool as is multiplayer. It would be amazing if you could play in a solo sandbox mode and have full access to everything without a timer. Would also love a “no cards” version to turn on. Would be cool if you could actually pay loans off early and say have to sell one biz before buying unlocking another. Would also be cool to have “cash only” levels. The investment portion is currently pointless as you never lose principle and 99% of the time your match profits are better. But additions here could make it epic. Would also love to own rental properties that generate passive income between matches and have their own issues. Again — amazing game, 100% free, and continuing to enhance features will be amazing! ### 5/5 — A awesome game. *2022-10-12* The game is really fun and cool I like how you can compete against others and play online. Overall the game is awesome and keep up the work. ### 5/5 — Great Way to Teach Children About Business & Savings *2022-09-13* A wonderful game. I enjoyed showing my nine-year-old this game and having her learn about business start ups, marketing, sales and all the ups and downs that can come with it. Great tutorials and just an overall fun game. She enjoys playing it and I know it will teach her a valuable lesson about business. ### 5/5 — Great game so far! *2022-07-24* I’m a fan so far! The game is simple but gets more complex over time. I really like it! ### 5/5 — It’s a no brainer download *2022-04-09* As an entrepreneur, the principles are very accurate. Highly recommend!!!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
