Community Insight:
Most awesome game ever Im 10 and this is the best.
There are no hints and u have to pay for a walkthrough. We cant get past level 4.
Needs to be better when it comes to explaining things.
We just got the app and we are on level 3 and it will not let us complete it really annoying But other than that its fun.
Hey, is this thing we found supposed to be a club, toothpick, axe handle, or something else? The graphics so crude that we couldnt identify many of the inventory items. There were also a couple of minor glitches and some spelling errors that added to the unpolished feeling. On a positive note, the half-dozen or so free levels kept us occupied. The puzzles are fairly simple and mostly linear.
What seemed like a cool game, is an extremely lousy attempt. First, it seems like its using a horrible webview box to get it to load within. Doesnt fit the screen so you have so much black around sides. We tried to look past that, saying no big deal. It only gets worse. When youre playing the game, the music is a horrible loop that repeats and you can here it start over every several seconds.They should have used a loop that seamlessly repeats without notice. Now lets get into the game itself. The game is amateurish at best. Very simple and graphics are horrible, looks like an old PC game or something youd see on a windows mobile phone when that came out. We really was hoping for something good, especially after playing Haunted Manor 2 and beating it. It seems no game can compare to that professionally designed and thought out game. Ill keep looking though. We had to delete this game after 10 minutes. We just couldnt anymore.
Game is great on levels 1-4, but seems like even after two years, the level 4 bug isnt fixed. Solved level four, but can't walk through the door like we could in levels 1-3.
When you have solved a room, a door opens with a bright light coming through it. We solved 4 rooms on 2 different iOS devices and the 4th room (spaceship in 2085) and the door opens but you cant go through it.
The game wont let us walk through the door after we finish level four. Ive tried deleting, restarting our phone, and reinstalling the app and after every time it doesnt let us go past level four.
Will not save our progress. Keeps starting us over at level 1.
Got through the space level but nothing happens when we try to walk through the door. Dont even get a prompt to buy more levels, it just freezes. Have replayed the level three times and nothing. Its not the hardest escape room game, but its fun. Wish we could unlock more levels.
We played this game around a year ago, and we decided to play it again. We tried to restore our purchases so we could finish it, but it just brought us straight to the thing where you put your fingerprint/code in and you buy a purchase. The worst part is that theyre never going to fix it because its a good money grab AND they never update it anymore.
Ours kept freezing when we blasted through the axis bunker door.
We shouldve read the reviews before paying money to this app!! Level 4 wont let us go through the door despite completing the level!! We paid for all the levels and no ads but now we cant play any of them. Wish we could get our money back, what a waste >:(.
Same as some of the other reviews. Freezes after completing level 4 and cant walk through the door. Disappointing.
We bought levels 5 onward. However, even though we passed level 4 (opened the door). Im unable to exit through the door and thus cant play any of the levels we spent money on. Was good until then, so just dont pay for anything we suppose.
Im finished level 4 and have pressed everywhere on the shining door out and it does nothing. Ive tried multiple times and am crazy frustrated. Sounds and plays like a great game but we cant play it.
Freezes after level four. Can solve, the door opens, but then…nothing.
Paid for all levels and game will not open ALL levels. We were only able to play 1-4, 10 and 13. Walkthroughs open all levels just not able to play. Do you even read this.
Purchased the all in one package. Had so many ads that our game kept crashing even after the purchase. Basically theft.
Clever puzzles that make you think, but the clues are straight forward rather than obscure and frustrating like some other escape games. Well done.
A little simple but every now and then pretty difficult. A good balance that we enjoyed playing. Buy the "all in" package, it makes the game as smooth as it can get.
We loved it!!!!!!!!!!! Totally something we would recommend to people who are looking for a cool educational app. We love it, so enjoy.
This is a very good game. We would love to see an escape from the Hindenburg 5/6/1937, Constantinople 5/29/1453 (Hagia Sophia), The Temple, Jerusalem Sept 70 AD, the Battle of Verdun 2/21/1916. To name a few . Thanks for a great game.
We liked the game. It had a reasonable amount of difficulty. Something we've realized though is that we prefer hints over walkthroughs. But we understand walkthroughs are easier.
Excellent! Ours easing relaxing, graphics are great this game will have you wanting more.
We find the game fun. At first we did not like having to start over but now we find it fun and challenging to see how fast we can get up to where we were.
Very entertaining for a 7-year-old or a 37-year-old. Our kids and we are totally addicted to these escape games. Wish there were more levels! A little pricey for bonus levels, but we're addicted, so we paid it.
Very smart game, lots of fun with some good surprises.
Difficulty level suits us just fine.
Can't stop playing these games.
Good game, hope new levels are coming soon.
Our daughter and we love to play this game together. It's not too hard or too easy.
$3 for 4-5 extra levels is a bit much! Fun. Most levels make sense.
Love the game but needs more levels…ASAP!! Or else won't keep on iPad much longer because not updated since we bought it almost 2 months ago.
Really like the game. Relaxing, not too tough like some of the others, like it.
Nice graphics and cool puzzles.
Loved it. Not too overly complicated or long at each level. Fun to do with our kids.
Like the game. Exciting. Get more levels.
We enjoyed this game. Would like to see some more levels. Possibly some scenes in South America, Australia, the Middle East, or Asia. Plenty of historical places out there.
We have just begun the game and am at Level 3. Thus far, it is interesting, challenging and mildly addictive. We are really enjoying it and look forward to completing the game. Four stars at this point leaves room for kudos at the end. – The Thinker.
We want to give this app 5 stars SO bad, but we can't for a game that provides ONLY 9 FREE levels. Some levels were challenging (which we love), and we ALMOST had to use the walkthroughs; however, we used our brain and "toughed" through it. Stop seeing $$! (Jackpot! ) Make this into a game by giving us ALL FREE levels.
We got absorbed by this game. Challenging enough but not unbreakable. Will look for more from them.
We like this one it was challenging but you did not need cheats or walkthroughs just think some and use a lot of numbers with letters. We liked it. It was enough to be complicated but not enough to be frustrating. Thx nice game for a change.
Good entertainment. Wish they were longer.
….not entirely sure how the clues match up to logic: for example, the order of the cavemen and animals. We guess we'd get it if it followed the number of angles, say, in their weapons; or the number of horns on the animals, but those numbers are not in correspondence with the final clue.
Cool escape the locale game. Close-ups on inventory items would make it better as would the ability to save current level progress upon exiting the game.
We wish people would stop wanting everything for nothing! We totally understand that the people who make these games need something for their time and effort. It isn't exactly easy and quick when creating these types of games!! It's not like you are looking for $20! We probably wouldn't even have them to play if there wasn't some type of compensation people! Having said that….we like this game! It makes a lot of sense, in most of the rooms anyway. We like that you don't have to have music playing. However, there is a cliche with the walkthroughs that someone already mentioned. In addition, we really prefer the escape games like "Royal Escape" and "Magic Escape." Those are just so realistic we.e. Sounds and animation. So based on that and the cliche, we gave it only 3 stars. Without the cliche it definitely would have been 4.
Very fun but when you exit out and come back you have to restart!! Ugh.
Some of the clues don't make sense. Had to use the walkthrough way more than usual.
