What Makes The Company Game Stand Out
The Company is evil and must be stopped…at least that is the information you have received from your informant. Do you think you have what it takes to unlock, decipher, and unravel The Company files? You will need to rely on logic, skill and a bit of luck to get through these mind bending mental (and physical) challenges. As the story unfolds, the mystery of what you are really doing deepens. Will you be able to find the truth?
Each carefully crafted level (78 in all) is unique – no two puzzles are the same – giving you hours of brand new experiences throughout the game. You may even have to think outside the app!
From the escape room fanatic to the person who loves a good mystery, The Company Game is for you!
Includes AR – Augmented Reality puzzles!
Unlock helpful tools and hints – like a Morse Code translator, a Number to Letter converter, and the infamous M File!
Push your phone to the limits of what you thought you would need to do to pass a level.
Location Services and Camera Access are needed to solve some puzzles, and some physical activity may be required. If you need help completing any puzzles please contact us.
Some quotes:
"It’s like if Blackbox, The Guides, and Device 6 had a baby. And the baby was delivered by a 14-year-old doctor."
"I don't remember a game that has made me mad and frustrated…then smile all within the same level."
"I think my favorite thing so far is the variety of the puzzles. They're all drastically different which keeps it exciting."
"Now, they're saying you've been secretly sent to stump the world with impossible puzzles. If it's got them this upset, I can't wait to play-although I'm a little nervous."
This Puzzle game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Community Insight:
This is one of the most innovative puzzle games Ive ever played. We had a technical issue, and the developer released a new version to fix our issue within a day, and this was several years after release.
We loved this game. The mechanics are really fun and creative. Keep up the good work.
About the level where you have to go up a few floors, we dont have the means to do so. Is there any alternative way to beat this level.
We love the game but Lies.14 had got us stuck on our phone. Specifically the time change doesnt work on our phone so we had to use our brothers phone. Please make it so we dont have to go into settings to change the time.
Maze is awesome! A lot harder and engaging with the phone settings. Bet chapter yet. Got very stumped on 15. Completely guessed the answer. Actually upset cause we didnt figure it out how to get it. Always avoid App unwrapper but apparently they havent even figured it out yet. This app is definitely worth the money. Had it for awhile.
We are stuck on level 20 of sail. The level were you have to unlock the lighthouse. We have tried everything we can think of and nothing works. IDK if the game has a glitch or what.
The game is wonderful and it was gifted to us by our brother but we were sadly never able to finish it and only recently have been able to. Unfortunately we had to start over and the current iOS wont let us set our date to before the year 2000 which completely ruins our ability to move past the level 8 Im actually rather upset about this and would love some way to finish the game for ourselves!! This is wonderful, thanks for reading our review.
LIES 14 requires the use of changing date and time, but our provider doesn't allow this setting to be changed. How can we finish the puzzle now.
We are liking the outside the box thinking. Have gotten through the first portion before getting to the SAIL levels, and for the most part have liked about 85% of all the puzzles. Some of the solutions were super clever. And we liked the one time we came across AR. Two levels stood out as problems: the poloroid shaking… We must have shook our phone for a straight 5 minutes before it finished. (Plus youre not supposed to shake poloroids anyway, it can distort the exposure… But thats a pet peeve of ours ) Dunno if thats great for the phone when a little shaking for a few seconds would have sufficed. Also the running level is unnecessary. We ended up finally getting it to trigger… Again shaking our phone for an unnecessary amount of time. Running didnt work. And yes we had the location on (even though you shouldnt need that). We were able to figure out the solutions mostly on our own without hints, a few hints were needed, and one puzzle (the blue boxes) seemed to perform inconsistently as to what the center box did and got too frustrating, so we had to Internet a solution to that. Not sure if it was the puzzle being broken or us just not getting it even after the clue told us how it was supposed to work. Now Im stuck at the SAIL level granting access via manual override where you tap the screen and its way too frustrating. The highest we got was 90 out of 150 then it sped up? No thanks. Im not here to play a reaction/speed tap tap game, Im here for puzzles. We would love to play the rest of the game if there is a code to skip SAIL 2. Otherwise Im not sure if this was worth the money we spent on it since we cant finish it. To the devs: you got some real gold here… Perhaps in future endeavors try to stick closer to the puzzles and less on the physical/timed challenges. You had plenty of different creative solutions within that lane.
Almost finished this whole game in 2 days. Ithe puzzles get your mind working. We are stuck on maze 25s third out. But once we get that the games done yay!!! It did crash a lot during our first M maze which would only crash right when we were finished so Id have to restart the whole level again which sucked. Second maze was easy. 3 idk yet.
So we love the game but on sail 25 it wont work we have done everything we needed to do and we even looked up a tutorial on it and it still wont work we got the first blue thing to show up but after that it wont work.
This is legitimately one of the best puzzle games we have ever played and Ive been downloading puzzle games on the App Store for 10 years. Its not like the other puzzle games. Its really immersive and uses every bit of your phone. It really shows how far puzzle games can be pushed and what kind of mechanics they use. There is a puzzle that literally use your flashlights. It baffled us we didnt know what was happening. It doesnt rely on 3D looking objects and spinning crap around. It is simple yet so complicated. Most satisfying game, and if youre reading this pre order CIRCULOUS(made by the same person that made this game) we can not recommend this game enough especially if youre a puzzle nut like we are.
Someone described this as a mashup of The Guides, Blackbox, and Device 6 – which is a pretty apt description. Overall, the puzzles are easier than The Guides, and there isnt the relentless emphasis on code-breaking from that game. It uses the motion sensor and device settings like Blackbox, but takes it to another level of engagement. It shares some puzzle elements with Device 6 and much of the paranoia as well. Im impressed with how sophisticated but ultimately intuitive the puzzles are. Its not a flawless experience however; sometimes it crashes, the soundtrack shuts off, and the controls and animation can slow down or freeze up. A reboot fixes it every time. Its an ambitious game, and for that reason, Im willing to overlook some of the bugs.
Really pleasantly surprised by this fun and inventive experience. We love escape rooms (and escape room board games) but escape room iPhone games dont actually capture that experience at all and theyre usually really low quality. This game captures the escape room experience with plenty of inventive little puzzles that give you an aha moment and work in a way you might not anticipateall while being uniquely suited to mobile. We would love to see more games like this on the App Store that prove that creativity and imagination can more than make up for what we imagine is a limited budget and resources.
Do to a work policy we cant change the date on our phone and am unable to proceed in the game. But the first 13 levels were awesome.
Game is a bit rough around the edges which breaks the immersion. For example one stage you need to literally shake the phone. It took about 2 minutes of dangerously fast shaking to pass. Kind of weird trying to max out the accelerometer.
Was having fun with this one until level 12. Spoiler alert…if your cellular carrier does not allow you to adjust your date or time you are screwed and cant get passed level 12. Developer oversight since many cell carriers dont allow you to change the date or time. Wasted money on this one.
If you like puzzles, then this game may be for you. It has challenging but fair puzzles to solve, and we quite enjoy how it sometimes uses new information in previous puzzles to obtain new results. However, like many people that Ive seen online, Ive bumped into the issue of LVL22 – Run (which we will be spoiling). The level requires the user to reach and maintain a speed of 3.5m/s for quite a while. While an interesting idea in concept, it ends up blocking off content for some users. If you are trying to quarantine at home, dont have easy access to a car or public transport, in a sketchy area, have no access to Cellular Service (as the speed is determined by distance traveled and not velocity of phone), or are playing at night and really dont want to go for an impromptu 1 AM jog, well youre boned. We personally live 20 min away from an area with working cell service, so you can understand why Im a bit miffed. From reading other reviews, it seems like the developers are aware that players are running into this issue, but have not implemented any way to bypass this one level other than emailing them for the dev code that unlocks all the levels. If they implemented some sort of work around (ex placing a button/code in the hint screen of LVL22 that let you skip that one bit) that would raise our score to 4 or 5, but as is we can only give a 2 for giving us 21 of a promised +78 levels.
These arent even puzzles, as the solution is usually so wild that you dont even think about it. On one of these, theres a puzzle where you have to shake your phone to develop a polaroid photo. We spent twenty minutes trying to figure out what to do until we just googled the answer. Im 18. Ive never even held a polaroid photo. We didnt even know you had to shake polaroids to develop them. Solving these puzzles doesnt take any wit or intelligence, it takes dumb luck or google. The story is alright but thats it. 3 stars.
This game is complex and amazing and we absolutely love it. However, the only problem we have is that there should be an option for the m file to be used without AR. Its pretty cool but annoying when Im playing at night it also just slides away out of frame sometimes. But everything else is amazing. This is actually the first game we buy on the App Store and Im absolutely impressed.
We love puzzle games like this! So we end up playing a lot of them, but one thing we thought was pretty cool and really made this one stand out was the incorporation of little games within the game, if that makes any sense? You need to complete them to move forward so we're not sure if we can call them mini games, but they were definitely different from what we'd usually see in this kind of game. Like cryptography and all that kind of stuff. And as someone who is does a lot of cryptography and not a lot of strategy puzzle games, it presented a completely different kind of challenge for us and made the gameplay pretty unique and interesting! The use of AR, while a little glitchy sometimes, also really contributed to that and made the experience even more engaging. The Mona Lisa puzzle we thought was especially cool. Anyways, we'll definitely keep an eye out if there are any more updates in the future.
The Company Game is really a pretty excellent game. It has all the elements of a good brain teasing puzzle set in a spy-like situation that feels mysterious and important. More than just a think this think that game, the Company makes you think beyond the app, sometimes requiring other features of your phone or even you. Ill admit, we had to search up a few answers. But we love how hard this made us think.
We like the game a lot but there should be a workaround for level 22. We are physically unable to run. Our iPad is WiFi only (no cell data) so we cant go driving in our car to get up to running speed. Is there a way to get past this level without running.
We love this game but cant get past the 1st puzzle on the second part. (The SAIL part) we made the complete picture with the sliders. Nothing happened. We checked the hint. It said to make the complete picture. Some other puzzles are like this. Very vague so you dont know what to do AT ALL. Otherwise very good game.
Love the game however we Cant beat the disco inferno game in Sail lvl 15 :( Edit: Thanks for the tip! Was able to complete the game and its amazing. Looking forward to more.
Title says it all. If you loved Device 6 or Blackbox you will love this game. Ive been waiting for something like this to come out! We only wish there were a mailing list or something we could subscribe to so we can get notification when the next part comes out. Only two chapters so far.
Worth the price to get the game. Its fun and challenging and keeps our brain working.
We have been on this level for a long time. How can we finish this level.
The game is amazing. No doubt about it. Ive only spent money on iPhone games for this and two other apps, but this still was by far our best purchase. We love the whole gimmick and most of the puzzles are truly challenging. However, Im on level ten of the new SAIL part (which we were so excited to have come out!) and we think there might some sort of glitch, for two reasons: One, SPOILER WARNING the M File doesnt work after going in only twice. (Though Im pretty sure the dev is aware of that because of the if crash message that always pops up.) Secondly, level ten is impossible for us to pass. Either that, or Im being painfully stupid. Ive gotten no little green dots next to levels, except level nine, which opened the box in the M File. The thing, when we try to translate the dots inside of shapes, only works for the one dot inside of the square. Well, to be more precise, none of the other shape and dot combinations work, except for all those involving the square. END OF SPOILERS we dont know if this is a glitch (and to be honest, we hope its not, so get we can have that nice aha! Moment when you figure out the answer) or Im missing something, but Ill keep trying. Overall, though, amazing.
Just completed SAIL (the 2nd part of the game). It was very challenging and at times we had to give up and sleep on a task to be able to have a breakthrough the next day. We cant wait for the next update. Great job guys.
Please its so frustrating trying to use it but it keeps shifting around and doesnt even appear when you first us it Ive had to look around for where it is. The rest of the game so far is great but the M file is just infuriating because its not easy to use. If you need more information please let us know.
This game has a level of complexity, creativity, and balance of difficulty that is so hard to find. In an App Store filled with many games, we are pleased to have gotten the privilege to not only play this game when it first came out, but with the most recent update, see just how far the next chapter takes the improvements.
First off- we LOVE this game. Im excited for the new levels. However on SAIL.12 Messages (3) when you click on the middle message (by John Smith) it crashes the app! Hope this gets fixed soon.
This game is well worth downloading and is very fresh and entertaining. Most of the puzzles are challenging and in a new format like youve never seen. We cant wait for the sequel! (If there is one).
We absolutely loved this game it was very entertaining and enjoyable. Cant wait for the next chapter.
We absolutely love this game and how involved and outside the box it is. Seldom does a game actually make you think outside the box and try unconventional solutions to problems. Love love love.
Absolutely love this game and am eagerly awaiting Chapter 2.
We finished all the puzzles. Im ready for the next chapter in the story. The clever use of our phones features is pretty cool. If you know how to navigate your phone, you can solve some of the obvious clues. Some puzzles got really tough, but the hints are there to provide some guidance without giving the answers. We feel like an elite sleuth.
Love the game and cant wait for part 2.
Excellent price for an excellent puzzler.
This is the first game for which Ive ever written a review. We had so much fun and completed the whole game in under 24 hours. We are very impressed not only with the quality of the puzzles, but the variety as well. Every puzzle is different and challenges you in a new way. The hints dont give too much away but are still helpful. We love that it uses components of the phone that Ive never seen games use. The storyline is great as well. We cant think of anything we would change. Looking forward to the next edition.

We never write reviews, but this game is AMAZING. Its so hard to find games that will actually challenge you like this one does. There are so many different types of puzzles & you definitely put your phone to work! Ever since we finished the game we cant stop recommending it to our puzzle-loving friends. You should definitely expect a challenge here; youre going to have to think in ways you normally wouldnt. The mystery in the lack of instructions really set the tone for us; its part of what makes this game so intriguing. All in all, if you love puzzles & youre not afraid of a challenge we HIGHLY recommend this game. It will surprise you at every level and leave you impatiently waiting for the next chapter! Cant wait for SAIL.
This was such a fun experience and we really had to think to solve some of these levels !! :).
This was avfun game! Challenging, but manageable. What an amazing 14 year old developer! We're sure there are great things to come from you.
This game is amazing and super addictive when chapter 2 is coming out.
Havent even finished the game yet but this type of game fits into one of our favorite but scarce genre of puzzle games. We love puzzlers that require thinking in terms beyond just what you see on the screen or the app itself. Much more creative than your standard Room Escapes or puzzle boxes. You can probably finish this game in a couple hours but the experience is worth it for the small price. Well done.
Easily one of the breasted puzzle games we have played before, we were blown away at the brightness puzzle, really great game! Great work developer! Also shout out to the no in app purchase policy :).
This was a blast to play! We didnt know what to expect, but found it hard to put down! Frustrating at times, but it just made figuring it out all the more fun! :).
So we got this game a several months and we were really excited about it. Im stuck on the last level but Ill eventually figure it out. Great idea, nice use of an iPhone. We really enjoyed the game but now Im getting kind of bored with it. Earlier this year the developer promised a chapter two or something and its been a while and Im not really seeing any major updates… Anyway its a really interesting puzzle game, but Im beginning to get a bit impatient…. Of course Im sure its seriously hard to come up with a story and new puzzles and all that. So yeah, pretty good game.
