### 3/5 — Challenge

*2019-10-07, version 1.0*

A little challenging but good game

### 4/5 — Challenging

*2019-02-01, version 1.0*

Difficult but still a great deal of fun!

### 4/5 — Level 10

*2018-02-22, version 1.0*

There is a game on the bar...it’s a nonogram...google it to know how to solve it!

### 3/5 — Level 7

*2018-02-10, version 1.0*

The stars make the shape of a letter on the wheel. The letters are x,k,v,y. Not sure of the order.

### 3/5 — Walk through!!!!! And thank you to the players who have left hints in your reviews

*2018-01-14, version 1.0*

This is a fun game and I like however there are some levels that don’t make sense. There should be a walk through or hints something the only reason I’ve made it to 7 is because I’ve got help from reading the reviews on here and for that I THANK YOU GUYS FOR THE HELP. However I’m stuck now on 7 so I’ll come back to it in a day or two and see if I can get it. Oh that is something I like too that I can walk away and maybe after 3 or 4 times coming back I get it lol

### 3/5 — Nice

*2018-01-10, version 1.0*

Nice game

### 3/5 — Stuck on level 5

*2017-12-31, version 1.0*

Can’t figure out toilet code. Refuse to buy clues.

### 3/5 — Even with paid clues...

*2017-12-04, version 1.0*

These are some really bizarre solutions. I only dl this because I'd gone through the better developers.
I had to buy clues, and not bc I'm lazy but because the solutions are such a stretch.
And EVEN WITH paid clues, so poorly and designed, it was hard. Not hard like "Oh man, why didn't I see that!" Hard as in "Who the hell would look there or open that?"
I'll not use this developer or designer again.
Think carefully before dl this one!

### 4/5 — Challenging

*2017-11-20, version 1.0*

Good game.  Took me a while for level 16.  
The safe combo is 3545
Keypad is 4576
XYZ is earth coordinates.

### 3/5 — Level10

*2017-11-18, version 1.0*

Can't figure out the game on the bar, anyone get it?

### 4/5 — Level 8

*2017-11-08, version 1.0*

Figured out the clock, calendar and color puzzles. I figured out the numbers on the paper thanks to the tip here in the reviews, but I don’t know where they go, or what goes on the dresser. Help, please!

### 4/5 — Still confused

*2017-09-15, version 1.0*

I'm usually good at these things but level 16 has me stumped even with breaking down to buy the hints.  It says to watch the game on the cupboard?   What?  Where?  I feel like I've been duped and I want my dollar back.  Otherwise pretty clever.   Definitely tougher than a lot of them out there but not absurd.

### 4/5 — Irritating how the ads come

*2017-07-27, version 1.0*

What's the deal with the planets on Level 16? Somebody please, please help!

Thanks Peters-Sweetie! I got thru Level 8 all thanks to you. Was stuck there for a couple of months! Even I thought it was a calculation and was trying all kinds of permutations!!!

Stuck on Level 8... has anybody figured out?

### 1/5 — Level 2 is hard

*2020-07-20, version 1.0*

Level two I hard help with level 2

### 1/5 — Puzzles make no sense

*2020-05-22, version 1.0*

As mentioned above, puzzles make no sense. Pretty much have to pay to get hints. Like trying to guess what number I’m thinking or what’s my favorite food. Impossible to understand what their puzzles are implying.  Forget this one

### 1/5 — Makes no sense

*2018-06-25, version 1.0*

I play a lot of escape games and this one makes no sense. A few of the clues work but then with others they have no rhyme or reason. Had to delete it after the 3rd room.

### 1/5 — Annoying

*2018-02-15, version 1.0*

Be prepared to have ads at random moments when trying to solve the puzzles. It's one thing to have had between levels or before hints but when you're trying to work on a puzzle, it's annoying and takes the fun out of the game.

### 1/5 — Bad

*2017-11-08, version 1.0*

Puzzles don’t make any logical sense. There’s no way to figure them out without using the cheat because they don’t make sense. The graphic is cartoonish and ridiculous looking. Just overall a horrible game don’t waste your money

### 1/5 — Worst

*2017-09-19, version 1.0*

This game has been the worst ever!  it doesn't follow a thought pattern. It is designed to make you buy the clues . Please don't waste a download or your money on clues like I did .

### 1/5 — Really horrendous

*2017-06-22, version 1.0*

I bought a pack of ten hints and it was still nonsense. For some I couldn't even back into the answer once I had it. It also had the worst pop-up ads. Don't waste your money with hints. Either play it for free or let it go.

### 2/5 — Stuck on level 3

*2018-04-26, version 1.0*

I can not get past level 3. What’s with the robot on the floor? How do I run the projector on? What’s the code to the button door? Please help!

### 2/5 — Not the best and annoying ads

*2017-06-03, version 1.0*

I think everyone is stuck on level 4 and they want you to buy a hint.  Every 3 minutes an ad pops up regardless of what you are doing.  Going to delete now.

### 3/5 — Good game, but doesn’t always make sense!

*2020-04-08, version 1.0*

Am stuck on level 14 — have tried everything I can think of to figure out the star puzzle.  And the hint is useless!  Any one have any suggestions?  This is not for people who are logical, because most of the puzzles are anything but that!

Loved the game but how to you get past the button door on level 3?

### 5/5 — Level 8

*2017-09-27, version 1.0*

Does anyone know the 4-digit code on the dresser or how to figure it out in level 8??

### 5/5 — Loved it!!

*2017-08-31, version 1.0*

Took a lot of thought, you had to go away and come back to it at times to figure it out. It wasn't easy, but I finished it with no hints. Nice long game, interesting locations. Thank you, Tan You!
Level 4 after stopping the gears, look at the dots on the gears

### 5/5 — Level 7

*2017-08-27, version 1.0*

I figured out the animal puzzle, but can't understand the shapes puzzle. And the code for the tool box? Please someone help!

### 5/5 — Bujez

*2017-08-11, version 1.0*

All of tan you escape games are a great challenge and offer hours of fun and head scratching. Have played about ten of them without buying clues, but they're not easy! Thanks tan you!
