### 5/5 — More puzzles please

*2026-03-06*

I have been finished for months now. It says more puzzles will be coming soon. Please hurry up with them.

### 4/5 — Fun games however…

*2025-08-04*

I didn’t appreciate riddle 11. 😂
The answer was CENTRE of attention… whole time I was putting center of attention wondering why I was getting it wrong.

### 5/5 — Make more levels

*2025-03-19*

Great game absolutely struggled to death with a couple but please make more levels soon

### 4/5 — Title

*2025-02-28*

Its good but there is a bug on riddle 11 level 1 that even though i spelled center of attention right it says it wrong

### 2/5 — Can't turn off sounds!

*2024-05-14*

I've never had an app so thoroughly disregard my phone volume settings. If my phone is on silent, it will play the sounds loudly. If I'm listening to something else, it will stop it to play an app sound. The puzzles are great, but this is a very frustrating feature, and there's no setting to turn it off that I've been able to find.

### 3/5 — Fun but money doesn't work

*2024-02-27*

It's okay but if you try to add more coins by purchasing it won't let you. Doesn't really make sense for an app to make it difficult to spend money on it - seems like it would be the other way around.

**Developer response:** Sorry about that;
thanks for drawing my attention to it;
(Edited:) I think its working now

### 4/5 — I like it!

*2023-12-26*

I really like this game! It’s fun but challenging, I finished all the puzzles in a couple of days and can’t wait for more. My only issue is that I can’t listen to music from my phone while playing the game, so I’m only giving it four stars for that reason, but if that weren’t an problem I’d give it five. Being able to turn off the sounds in the game would great. Thanks guys!

### 4/5 — Straightforward, but need more!

*2023-06-01*

I really loved this game, because it had no weird distractions- irrelevant side quests or scavenger hunts to get rerouted and lost in, no special magic gems, keys, or wheels to spin, or redundant lengthy award presentations that just allow for more guilt trips and ads. I also like that you can move around, so if you get stuck on one puzzle you can move on and go back whenever. That's a great feature!
However. We need more! Where's our new challenges? Pretty please!
I only had one glitch in one puzzle- the answer was "tricycle" but it wouldn't accept that. It wanted "tricylce" or some misspelled version.
Anyway, thanks for everything, we appreciate your time working on new puzzles!

**Developer response:** Hey Cornisa!
I really appreciate your feedback 😊
Thank you for mentioning the tricycle, really sorry you had to experience that 🙈
It's getting fixed in the newest update

New puzzles will be added eventually

### 1/5 — I CANT EVEN GET ONTO THE GAME

*2023-02-08*

Every single time I start clicking it denies me getting on! Don’t get the app as I have deleted it twice and still it doesn’t let me on! If you want a word puzzle game go for dingbats not this putrid game!

**Developer response:** Hello Super super fluffy Hogwarts (awesome name btw 😅),
The latest update has fixed this bug
Thanks for alerting me to it

### 5/5 — Very fun riddles

*2023-01-25*

Enjoyable game with so many head scratching riddles

Hours of fun
