Community Insight:
Helps us get so much deter at chess so we can beat our father.
This game is fun and just so fun and there is one thing that we want you to fix is when we go vs kid it takes a good long while for it to load into the game so please fix this! We think that what it does! But Im not sure but its still really fun and you guys might have made the most fun kids chess game ever! Keep up the good work.
We love this app because you can play with friend as and family. You can also go against other people around the world. This is why we love chess adventure.
Make harder bots the bots are too easy we win every time we want a challenge! Overall though great game.
This game has helped us become a chess master. Its also super fun.
It is literally the best thing ever.
Great for kids because it turns chess into a fun, adventurous world where chess turns into dragons and wizards.
Hi, Im Alberto Im 13 years old, and this game as helped us improve in chess. We really recommend this if you want to get into chess. We love the way it helps you learn on setting up the board. This app is great for all ages.
We are Ernie un mystified t it says it was delivered to o in our last day of June but it was delivered yesterday so we will have not received what we sent to you yesterday.
We like, TOTALLY love this game/chess. It is SO fun.
It is very good lesson to the kids.
This app is so cool we beat all the quest and it help us improve our tactics.
Just rate this game now send App Store the friend s are in at home check it now.
We like the game just there STILL is only 6 levels.
From our daughter Daisy, Its fun and we really like to play it all the time. We like castling and it is fun learning different things. And thats all.
Great quality .terrific for beginners.Add free.
Two games had NO right answers for no reason at all and we dont like that it was not letting us change awtfits for no reason.
4 stars because there is only 6 quests we finished them all and we would like more quests we finished them all. The bosses are very fun love that they are fantasy creatures thanks for that.
We want to do the Goob on our last one we had to do we got in check mate but it said we got it from wrong with other then that its good.
We are 11 and we know and understand how the concepts of chess work. We are not getting stalemated, we have checkmated the king and the wizard says try not to get stalemated! Or something along those lines. We cannot complete this quest as it wants us to checkmate in a specific way, it doesnt want us to just checkmate the king. Otherwise it is a pretty good app. But in addition whenever we unlock a new piece of clothing or an outfit it automatically puts it on us which we dont like as we have to put our old clothes on. Its ironic how if you put certain clothes on but dont press save it wont put them on you put if you unlock them they magically get put on without your consent. This game is fun and educational but we just want it so it does t matter how you complete quests, it should matter that you complete them. Also, it says learn, when we press it, it shows us how. We have a full understanding of the concept it showed us but we cannot checkmate in 2 moves with that concept so its useless. We think the learn button should teach you the current puzzle and not just the main theme of the quest or level. It is a pretty good app and we hope to see changes soon. Also dont just tell us we took too many moves to checkmate we didnt. Even though you can see that the objective was placed at what appears to be the near end of a game, it had no move counter so you cant justify that we were on that verge. We checkmated in 2 moves as it said but wanted us to do it in a specific way. Otherwise, its a great game.
Very good we enjoy it. We dont have gold, but we still use it a lot. We would recommend it for beginners.
We just logged in and the loading screen on the name chart is taking forever.
Ive deleted the app and reinstalled and the vs kid function still doesnt seem to be working.
The puzzles show checkmate when its not.
This game is very good but they dont explain things very well and you have to be a good member to really do anything we dont suggest getting the app because you will be compelled to spend your money on it.
Black pieces far more than white pieces. And when we are white pieces opponent quits within a move or two. Matchmaking so lopsided, lose 8 straight against far superior players. Would be fun to have a chance.
Awesome!!!!!!!!!! Only the home screen changed.
The king can go diagonal and forward like a queen but it can only go one space each turn witch you got right but he can kill anything in his path but only move one space.
This is the worst app we have ever seen. The log in field has a character limit which wont allow normal sized email address. And customer service is non existing. So frustrating. Really not worth it.
We already am a member of your other app chesskid and we really do love this app. We play it almost every day and completed ALL of the quests. It truly is an amazing app. We only have one question. Will you add more quests. Those were really fun but now that we finished them all we are getting kind of bored. We do the puzzles which is also fun but we really liked the quests. So please add more quests. Thanks.
We love this games, but it would be great if it had more costumes in it. But other wise great game.
This is the best app we have ever played we love chess so we have a lot of chess games but this game is awesome.
This is a great game, and we recommend it to every beginner in chess. Everything is fine, but one small bug. We were playing with goob when suddenly he castled his queen! Castling is supposed to be with the king, so that is strange. Please fix this bug. Otherwise, this is an amazing game.
We love that it teaches chess we had a lot of fun doing this the only tinge we dont like is how few quests there are but we hope there are more in the future.
Our kid has been playing this a few days but every time she plays she complains to us that each question only gives you three turns, From, Diana.
The chess board takes such little real estate on the screen and there are no hints for kids just learning the game. The early matches are quite difficult for a brand new player and will be discouraging. Disappointing use of resources just adding fluff but limited value.
Very fun but there should be more quests.
We think this is the best chess game in the whole entire world.we love to play kids ,bosses,and doing puzzles.
Chess kid adventure is good thank you for putting it on the App Store bye.
Can you please activate the puzzle duel.
When we play against a boss most times they dont move there pieces therefore we lose coins.
This game is awesome the bots glitch sometimes needs a little more quests but it teaches a lot and it helps you work on strategy.
We always wanted to learn chess. This is a great tool for learning the strategy.
Our 7 year old son was not at all impressed with this app. Glitchy from the start, it kept erasing his progress. We didnt appreciate all the in-app purchases and up selling, either. Dont bother installing.
Im not actually a kid lol. We just downloaded the app because we are pretty much a beginner.
Its good but when you play you cant castle or en passing but other than that its great.
This needs some serious fleshing out but is a good pilot/proof of concept type app.
This is the stupidest app we ever used also the loading is 99 and its going back to screen we hate you chess.com.
It is so fun and good to learn chess.
Crashes before even loading up.
