Community Insight:
Ok this one had us irritated looking for one of those tokens so we almost cheated, but we looked high and low and finally solved it. Have to give this one a 5 star for hide and seek.
The theme for this one, the zodiac, was by far our favorite. We got stumped a few times and we racked our brain when we couldnt figure out what we were missing… That piece above the door on the frame… Omg. Oh well. We truly enjoyed this game, as we always do with Goro Satos escape games. That was officially the last one of all his games. Ive played ALL his escape games and LOVED every single one. Thanks Mr. Sato for the wonderful gaming experience. You are truly a 5 star game developer and we will keep our eye out for the next one. Thank you.
But it was so gorgeous to look at that we didnt mind a bit. The puzzles were original, and the zodiac theme was a nice touch. But best for us – as with many Sato games – are the subtle details in graphics, and a palette that runs the spectrum. We play for the puzzles, but we stay for the eye candy.
Very pleasing difficulty level. Nicely done puzzles and just what we needed.
This one was a little bit tricky; we got stuck at one part but it was so obvious we felt dumb lol. Sato never disappoints! We never go as far as to care about the person who makes the games but this guy makes us remember and we make it our mission to play and rate all of his escape games. Amazing.
Please don't cheat and use hints unless you can't figure it out in a day or two.
By far, the majority of your games, are executed perfectly, intelligently planned, artistically displayed, and a pleasure to play. That said… Please please design more. (Bathtub was great till the end – then trial & error, which is beneath a Goro Sato game). We love the sound the app makes when you discover something; & equally love the zen-like state we feel upon completion of your app. So come on guys, life is short. Make more games…. Please! You could even charge for them, as your work is obviously worthy. But do it.
Love this developer. Scenes are interesting and different, with a variety of puzzles. This one had a lot of clues related to the zodiac. You don't need to know the zodiac, but it was fun to look up the signs in Wikipedia.
We couldn't find the mushroom answer but still managed to escape. Another well deserved be diversion.
Good escape game, but erroneous classification as adventure. There is zero plot.
Loved this puzzle. Some parts were tricky but very addictive.
No complaints. In a different league when it comes to escape games.
Great puzzles and graphics. Well done.
So well made. We love all of Goro Sato games.
This developer is great! We really enjoy these games and they really exercise our brain.
Awesome! These games are challenging but not impossible.
Good game. Fun, plays well and not too crazy on the challenges. Good game to break up the day.
We love this developer. Good challenge and ads were not distracting.
Like others have said the full page ads are a nuisance.
Fantastic escape game..every step they reward you by giving a clue to help you finish it…Great.
A lot of fun! Beginning was better than the end. The end was too easy, took some thinking when the game first starts. And there are a ton of ads.
Need to come out with more games though. Very fun, but want more.
Another very fun and clever game from one of our favorite room escape developers. It's always a happy day when we see a new release from Goro Sato.
Great fun game. Keep putting out more.
We've played every escape game from this developer and love them all. Great graphics, fun challenging puzzles all beautifully designed.
We play a lot of escape games and this was different and very enjoyable! Would like more just like this one.
Only tweak? Allow landscape play for our iPad Air 2? Very challenging game, but loads of fun. Well thought out.
Basic graphics. But overall fun and challenging.
Love the graphics, very challenging, a little frustrating at times but otherwise a good escape game.
Mind bending but fun! Really like games from this dev. Sorry..took off 1 star for full page ads with no way to close except restart the app. We understand the need for ads, we don't mind the banner ad at the bottom of the screen, but the full page ads ruin the game experience.
Another fabulous escape game from Goro Sato who never disappoints. Entertaining and challenging without frustrating.
It looks like a great game but there is no way to get rid of the ads and can't get the game to come back, just got blank screen.
