Pretty fun to play. Good for passing the time and getting my brain going. Some of the logic for the puzzles is hard to get but is fun anyway. Usually get plenty of hints but can pay for more if you need to or just wait a day or two to get more for free. Try not to use many of those - it's more fun to be patient and figure it out myself.

I really enjoy these escape room games. The only problem I've found is that the hint buttons are too close to screen play. Some of the games you have to play are difficult to discern from a smaller screen on a phone. Other than that I keep getting the games after I finish a set. I have found some of the clues to be off/wrong or to not make any sense, but for the most part I'm really enjoying myself.

I've played all of your escape games. At first they had little annoying bugs, then got a lot better. Addicting and enjoyable, but these last 2 are not that great. You try to click on an object and it doesn't work. Some of the puzzles do not work either. (if you can even figure out what to do with it) I watched the walk thru on you tube so I know my game wasn't working correctly, the slide puzzle..the pieces didn't slide at all. I've sent you emails but you haven't responded so now I'm writing a review. Without any hints to bypass the impossible puzzles, it's no longer fun. Couldn't get past level 48 in escape VII, and VIII started off frustrating, so I've uninstalled them. You had a good thing going, too bad you don't read the reviews and take some of the suggestions to fix the bugs, then maybe you would keep your long time players.

There are some puzzles that you must use hints or are otherwise impossible. Not near undoable for average person, actually impossible. I have played many similar games, and never had this kind of experience. The first few levels, not so bad, but there are some puzzles in later levels I solved correctly, only to have to use a hint for puzzle box to open up with the same sequence I already had put. Some puzzles take it a step further and make no actual sense. If I could type more, I would. 0 Star

i love how my game is saved, even mid level. ive had far too many ads pop up at the worst times since installing the apps though. like right after my gps says "turn right" but the right is the wrong way on a one way street. it cut off before it could say "in 200 ft". could've been worse than a ticket.

I really enjoy playing these games. The only complaint that I really have is about the puzzles that say, "play this game". If you tap hint it says it requires 3 hints to pass the puzzle. I don't want to pass it, I just want a hint on how to play the puzzle so I can solve it myself. I think first couple escape the room games were like that but I can't really remember for sure. 😀🤘✌️

I love the game, but please fix the bug for the optional hint...by watching an ad. It only works sometimes, most of the time it kicks you out of the game and you dont get the hint credit. This has happened with all of the 50 escape games ive played so far up to the 7th one. But i like the game, so im planning on playing them all.

The game itself is just ok. It isn't very complicated. Half of the puzzles are good. The other half are impossible to solve. You have to buy some hints to skip the impossible ones. I'm a patient person and I like a good puzzle that makes me think. I don't like to give up but level 45 is where my patience runs out. I don't care if I'm only 5 levels from the end. This is just too frustrating and random.

Great escape game...as is the rest of the series. (So far there are 10) Puzzles are logical and challenging but not too difficult. Walkthroughs are abundant on YouTube but I haven't needed them. Hints are available by simply watching a 30 second ad...not a big deal especially when you take into consideration that such a high quality game is available to us for free. I'm playing the whole series again while waiting for game XI to be released.

I like the games, but some puzzles need more instructions. Some puzzles I spend a few extra minutes just figuring out how to play. The hints don't recharge at regular intervals, I passed several rooms and only received 1 hint. I don't mind watching the ads for hints, but those don't pop up much either. Other than those issues I have, the game keeps me on my toes and I've learned to pass levels without using hints.

Pros: Great way to pass the time and keep your mind sharp. Cons: Free hint wheel is usually ads 95% of the time. Ads pop up after going through every door. That being said, level 33 is the worst with the puzzle were you have to beat the werewolf. I've tried for hours and can't get it and can't get any hints to pass it. Sometimes the screen flickers. Not the best escape game but could be worse.

I like the graphics and puzzles. Only to room 5 so far... puzzles easy enough to solve without hints, but not ridiculously easy. Seemed forced to take 1 hint so far, in order for tool to be visible. I didnt like that. same music in every room.. but at least its mellow music. Thanks creators for making this and for allowing free access. I'll keep playing!

Love the graphics, but some of the puzzles are unsolvable and require hints that aren't really hints, bc it's solved for u so fast u can't keep up and can't learn how 2 do it for future reference. VERY frustrating! U go on, tho, hoping the next will be better. Makes u think they want u to use the hints so u will have to buy more to move on in the game. Some are SO EASY, tho, it's laughable! Yet there are some that challenge the brain; THEY are the ones that keep me playing! MORE PLEASE!🙂

Very cool graphics and lots of variety in each of the room's. The only main constructive criticism would be regarding the game's in each room. The APP does not share how to play every game and when you DO decide to sacrifice your 'ever so precious HINTS', you're STILL deprived of having the opportunity of @ least learning how to play them for future reference. As for me, that's what's MOST FUN with escape games, trying to figure out how to win but after 1st learning the object of the game. THX!

Well, SOMETHING keeps me trying this series... Again & again! BASICALLY, I LIKE IT! A LOT! But as we move on, I KNOW what will happen! The puzzles will become more & more random and the help & hints will become less helpful OR will just make me "skip" the task! And it's usually just STUPID stuff! But it gets that I can't advance without using all my hints or skipping the task altogether... Let's see how it goes this time around! 🤞

The rooms are short but enjoyable. Would rate higher except that the puzzle games come with no explanation and without a hint some are impossible to discern the objective. Some hints are not at all helpful (lv-10). Consumer manipulation? There is no way to skip ahead to another level if you get stuck. So you can play for 5 minutes, get stuck and game over forever... Developers intended for players to get stuck so that you would be forced to purchase hints to continue. Clever money maker. Bummer

A few bugs make it hard to do many things. Many puzzles have unclear directions or no directions at all. Spinning for clues gets ads almost all times not clues. Have hit a wall with many versions ( IV, V, VIII, etc) because puzzle is too hard or does not work at all. In this one im unable to get past the spears that stop the rising instrument because i cant stop them most of the time even though im tapping like mad. Unless i buy clues i will have to uninstall again. This has gone on for days now.

Decently solvable puzzles, but controls are mediocre. The graphics start off underwhelming and sort of dated, but they improve dramatically in later levels. Despite the improvements, the graphics and controls remain worlds behind and far away from Pine Studio's Faraway games. Pine studios, and the Faraway series particularly, are the cream of the crop in my opinion, so very few apps are even close to competing with them. This game is good to play when seeking to fullfill any point and click adventure needs - especially when you've exhausted most escape/logic games

I hope someone at the developer's office sees this as well. Have played up to version 7 now! And I like occasionally getting stuck, to me ot means it's not easy! Bu, through about 340 rooms so far, had a first for me! The puzzle on version 7, level 42. The three numbers on top of the clock game. You can get to the first of 5 different times, but it was impossible to get to the 2nd time with the numbers that were given!

Sometimes it is difficult to determine what you are trying to accomplish when playing individual puzzles. Often the provide examples of what they are expecting you to do...such as shapes matching shapes or colors matching, but often no idea on what you are attempting to do. Otherwise, I love these games and eventually with tenacity and brain power 🔋 you can get it without using hints. Working out a puzzle, for me, does not include using hints.
