Community Insight:
For a free game, really fun. Nice that you can play with a friend, seamlessly. The server is responsive, game is fun.
Est divertido siempre y cuando juegues con alguien, nosotros nos tardamos las dos horas, ests busque y busque pistas, los grficos podran ser mejores pero entretiene mucho.. Nomas paciencia.
Super fun to play with our husband! The spider part was the most annoying lol but great game.
Us and our friend played this it was literally stressing us out but we managed to finish in 1:08. Its really like you start from square one seriously. HIGHLYYYY RECOMMEND.
Play a fun game with someone who is not with you. This is great. Reasonable puzzles and great interaction with someone else. Totally recommend.
This was super fun for a date night and easy to use. But at the end we feel like they made if near imposible to do without a clue so you would ask for a hint and watch an add. We did love that it was free so we didnt mind as much.
This game is so fun and very escape room like. It took us and our friend 1:26 to complete it. It was really guessing game of what to do!! Would play again 100%.
Definitely would recommend this game to a friend – it is well-made and the coordination aspect is fun. Gave 4 stars just because its a bit slow at times and could use more storyline. The m****t puzzle was our favorite.
This is incredibly interesting because you can create your own spin and control throughout the game.
We do escape rooms regularly in person and this was our first escape room app. Loved it! Highly recommend love the way the two players can interact and work together.
The two player dynamic makes it more fun. Wonderful little escape room game. We hope there will be more chapters! (Note: We failed to find two of the search by zooming way in things and had to resort to walkthrough and still cant see the red number. Please consider adding clues for those in game.).
Fun game. Logical puzzles…with some out of the box thinking. Took our time playing and it was less than an hour of gameplay. But we still feel it was worth the $1. Hoping the dev makes more future games/episodes soon. Maybe they would consider ads in lieu of cost, since itd probably get more downloads that way? Thank you.
Very well designed puzzles and graphic.
Our friend and we played this game together and we both enjoyed it very much! It took some brainpower and coordination as a team. Some puzzles are easy and some are quite challenging. We love the feeling we got when we solved a puzzle!! 5 stars for sure.
