Find out what gamers are saying about The Guides:
This is for you. Clues are there just be patient.
Still working through them, but enjoying with the family.
Dont cheat and you will have some great aha moments.
If youre looking to zone out and kill a few minutes, you may want to look elsewhere. If youre up for a mix of clever, obscure and unique mini-puzzles, dont hesitate. This game is right up our alley. Its sometimes frustrating, but always fun. Im addicted and only about 2/3rds of the way through. We already dont want it to end (but downloaded the sequel for when it does)!
We found this to be a pleasant exercise in thinking outside box. It has become an obsession. Cant put it down!
This game is so much fun. We love being challenged and this game is super challenging. We had to ask our friend for help. We LOVE this game!!!!
We are loving the puzzles! Will grudgingly admit to needing help but thoroughly enjoying the game.
This game is challenging and has a mysterious storyline that Im eager to find out.
We have fun with these perplexing puzzles and challenging ciphers.
Good puzzle game with a relentless difficulty curve. We like.
We are only halfway through but this is a great game so far. Clever but fair puzzles, very hard though, and minimalist but beautiful, powerful graphics.
Very tricky game, be prepared for some difficult but clever puzzles. A typical Room Escape or any kind of puzzle game this is not.
Good puzzles… For most part intuitive. Often one walks away for a bit of a break and the the path to a solution will become apparent. We found it most productive not to rush.
Challenging, but not impossible.
Great game! There arent any explanations or tutorials, which lends to the mysterious nature of the overall experience, but you have to notice when some things have been added to your inventory that are necessary to continue. Definitely worth the price!
You have all the tools you need to solve the puzzles. But there is no hand-holding through them.
A ton of fun. Puzzles are great. Definitely worth the $3 (at time of writing.)
Good game for warming brain up in morning on train commute.
We have. Question if someone can answer – how can we save the game? Whenever we close app it does not save where we am. But we love the game so play it.
Still in the first session, but a great game so far!
We have been playing this game on and off for several years. We have been coming back to it over and over again and learning how to solve the puzzles on our own. Its very fun and really causes you to think and use all of your senses not just your eyes.
Highly enigmatic and atmospheric puzzles. None of them are brain busters and in fact most are quite easy, but there are a lot of red herrings. If stuck, try exploring for hints. None of the answers involve super complex encoding schemes (at least not yet – Im only through chapter 1), but a lot of puzzles leave you wondering Was there more information or clues that we needed in the parts we didnt use to solve? Will we need to go back and scour old puzzles for those extra tidbits in a later metapuzzle? Or is it just for atmosphere? We hope that question will be answered by the end!
Never ceases to be a mind maze of good puzzles.
Just a fun puzzle game. Love the "ah ha!" moments when the thing staring you in the face finally comes into focus.
One of our favorite apps. If you like solving puzzles and deciphering cryptic clues, you will be hooked on this app. It may drive you mad at times, but in the best possible way.
Hard but a fun game we enjoyed the difficulty.
We definitely recommend playing with a friend in a battle of wits to see who is furthest along the next time you meet!!!
This game is the best game we ever played, it makes you think so hard and everybody should have it.
The graphics are clean and we enjoy puzzles – if we can solve them! Guides is way above our level but can cheat with web!
This is one of if not the best mind twisters we’ve seen.
We’ve played through this game multiple times and as a person who loves complicated puzzles, this game has been a ton of fun.
Its what we hoped it would be. Interesting cyphers and a compelling story.
At once challenging and simple.
Unlike any game we’ve played before. Puzzles are challenging, but cleverly simple. An intriguing story line adds a lot of character interest to the experience. We’ve only finished one part so far, and read a bit of the compendium app, which is definitely worth the extra buck for the added story details, if not needed to solve puzzles. Really loving the experience. Find myself thinking over puzzles when our mind is otherwise at rest or occupied with mundane stuff. GREAT work dev team! Thanks for this!
We personally have lots of attention issues and usually this helps a lot.
Hands down best game we have ever played. We just finished the 1st Chapter and we are blown away. Fantastic visuals and even better puzzles. 10/10 would recommend.
A great puzzle / code breaking game. Mostly pattern recognition and logic. Not too heavy on math. Good narrative hook too.
The puzzles a very intuitive and if you get the compendium you can read the story. We would recommend getting the compendium with it.
Cant seem to continue due to a glitch where we have no sound. So frustrating!
