| 2024-07-17 |  | | Most stories are pathetic. I suggest you, the users, come with an original mystery and try to play it differently if you want to (the game can easily be modified. Especially if the narrator has experience from roleplaying games. Edit: Upon playing a bit more i found some interesting stories that were fun to solve. But they were too few. |
| 2024-06-10 |  | | beautifully designed app, nice & clean. but the "riddles" are basically super specific situations that you have to guess based on vague prompts, most of which illicit a very "oh... ok" reaction. the execution isn't quite clever or engaging, making the "game" mot very enjoyable. |
| 2023-10-31 |  | | Definitely unique. If your friends are curious, chatty, and down for some silliness, this would be a great game to play with them. The UI is simple to grasp quickly. You get 3 free stories for every new combo you have to buy (so if you don't spend money to buy a new category you still have some free stories) However, I do agree that some stories were a little wack, which would be much better if the solution was written in a more logical way. |
| 2023-09-30 |  | | Very fun game to play with friends! It's simple and easy, and the art and music is quite nice. They also give you many stories for free which is quite generous and there are a plethora of stories in the app that you can play with friends so you'll never run out! Definetly recommend you to download this game if you want to have a fun time with a group of people! |
| 2023-07-27 |  | | I absolutely love the game and I've been playing it with my friends for a long time. It's super fun, however, I would love a login feature so I can keep my progress, in case I get a new phone. Just thinking about ticking every solved story and watching the ads all over again frustrates me. |
| 2022-12-29 |  | | Apart from the fact that you need to buy all stories, the stories themselves are either absolutely exaggerated in terms of the expected responses, and feel like slippery slopes as you go farther. Also, crediting yourself (spoiler alert, one story literally credits their own game as a solution), isn't really a good way to excuse a failed attempt at being creative. Imagine creating a riddle game but the answers are just extremely out of this world. Still, 3 stars for absurd imagination, I guess. |
| 2022-10-05 |  | | I would put 5 stars: cool graphics, cool idea and game development, it's funny and cute; but the thing that I don't like so much is that you must pay to unlock the most of the stories... It's boring 'cause after a few stories you don't have some anymore! Anyway, my opinion is that il still a beautiful game! |
| 2022-08-20 |  | | This would be a 5 star if there was an online feature. It'd be really neat if you were able to play with five random people with a little chat in the bottom, and if you were selected narrator you had three options, yes, no, or unimportant. I think that would make this game amazing. |
| 2022-05-19 |  | | The idea and layout of the app is amazing, which I am totally happy about. The reason I gave 4 stars instead of five is because there are multiple solutions to some riddles, or the solution consists something that doesn't even get mentioned or doesn't have anything in common with the story. If you could make the riddles more specific, so you can get the answer that is given rather than another one which might still be a reasonable solution, I will automatically give you 5 stars! |
| 2021-09-17 |  | | I grew up playing "Crack the Case" with friends and fell in love with it. Really opens up the world of board games to otherwise skeptics since there's no pieces and you can play casually or competitively. I'm always surprised how seemingly "smart" people struggle with this game because it punishes you for making assumptions and putting too many things together in your head. The players that really shine are the ones that need to ask for clarification of each detail and I love it! Thank you! |
