2022-05-08 | Kris Sanders (Kris) | Honestly, this was a disappointment. Spoiler Free Area: The stories are nonsensical and sometimes even contradictory to themselves that it would require moon logic to work them out. The app is also full of grammar mistakes that appear to be from bad translations. Spoiler Area: The first story we tried was two men who "die of heat," with the whole story being they drowned because they took off their life jackets because it was hot. So they don't "die of heat"; they drown. This is not clever. | |
2022-02-20 | Jeroen van der Lee | Good ux, but stories have a lot of spelling and grammar errors. | |
2021-04-21 | Chris Irwin | These are far and above the most atrocious riddles I've ever read. None of them are good, and the worst ones are downright offensive. "A maid tries to help a cat, but ends up killing it." The answer? SHE SHOVED THE CAT IN THE MICROWAVE AFTER DROPPING IT IN WATER! I'm asking very seriously, are the designers of this app clinically insane? No one in their right mind would guess that as an answer, and anyone coming to that conclusion through questioning is going to be annoyed | |
2020-11-05 | Mandy Shultz | Not much to the game really. Just riddles. I like dark stories, but this game isn't interesting enough for me. I do like being able to change the font. It wasn't easily readable on my device. It's the kind of game that would be better with friends instead of solo. | |
2020-01-21 | A Google user | As some others have mentioned, many solutions/plot of the stories don't make any sense. Developer said solving the stories depends on personal skills and people in the company did it in 10-15 minutes in other comments. Guess my friends and I are just dumb. | |
2019-08-15 | A Google user | Jeez, who translated this text? Does he know any English?! And why do you need to have such a small unreadable font and the sloooooow terrible animation for the card turning around? Really? This app is not worth any money. | |
2019-02-10 | A Google user | good app | |
2019-02-10 | A Google user | well written stories overall | |
2019-02-10 | A Google user | I like it a lot, | |
2018-03-25 | A Google user | The app is great and the stories are good! Although some of them are really difficult to guess, that's what makes the game interesting! Hope we'll get more stories with time. Thanks and continue with the hard work! |
