| 2023-12-27 |  | | Would have been 5 stars, but has some glitches. If you choose to watch an add, upon returning to the game, there is no sound. You are forced to close the game and restart if you want any sounds. At times, when you have solved a puzzle, the game is slow to respond and the box will time out. |
| 2022-10-05 |  | | Some of the puzzles are okay, but some are clunky. The puzzle peices are too hidden and the let's plays are out of date so they're in-accurate. The jump scares are more annoying than anything else. |
| 2022-08-31 |  | | The puzzles are very simple for the most part. As you get further into the game...you will solve or lose at puzzles and you have no idea why. There are a lot of free levels, so it is worth looking at if you like these types of puzzles. Overall, I would not pay for the extra levels. |
| 2022-04-19 |  | | The initial levels are for the very slow guys as like AUTISTS. But the last one free level has the elements of the momental memory that is required to memorize fast pressed buttons. It has its difficulties. But I dislike the game. I better uninstall it. Thanks for free trail. |
| 2021-12-30 |  | | Pretty sure I already made a review but must not have gone through. Fun but has a few things that are amiss. No timer, so hard to tell when you will lose. Calibration is slightly off and so the precision you need to grab stuff is annoying. Some puzzles don't offer any hints. Got stuck on one puzzle where there weren't too many options as to what to do and yet it wouldn't complete. No idea what was happening. Tbh, pretty good game. Just a few things I would change |
| 2021-04-13 |  | | A bit like rubik's cube with multiple games on each side. I suppose that's why these games are so popular. Creepy. Just like rubik's cube each side has a unique set of games to solve and as usual we have our favourite sides which we repeatedly play on. But if they were all the same favourites we wouldn't advance or be amused for so long. Nice to to return to the more difficult parts later or in a few months time. Even the simple puzzles can be enjoyable without the strain of thinking so hard. |
| 2021-03-19 |  | | Puzzles are uninteresting and not difficult. The ones that are difficult are only that because of clunky controls or the timer. Speaking of the timer, it's a terrible feature on levels that involve trial and error. The first medium level has a "puzzle" which is actually a simple memory game, you have to try to move a knob while avoiding a spike that moves at the same time, and it moves in the same pattern so you just have to keep trying and failing until you get it right. |
| 2021-02-05 |  | | Absolute trash the puzzles are not challenging at all. The jack in the box vibe has nothing to do with the puzzles and it's merely an annoyance. Puzzles appear to be timed however the screen randomly goes black and the box jumps taking up the little time you have to finish the puzzles. Do not recommend. Do not waste your time. |
| 2020-10-25 |  | | Puzzles are generally way too easy but finding additional puzzle pieces is almost impossible. They totally blend in with the background so you have to blindly tap every little bit of screen hoping to find the right spot and the box rotates if you tap too close to the edges so constantly accidentally rotating the box and then have to rotate it back to continue tapping. Out of 20 levels played so far, I've found 4. Very frustrating, poorly designed game. |
| 2020-10-01 |  | | At first this game was a decent, 3-4/5 star simple puzzle game. The box rattling was obnoxious but it was tolerable as a gameplay element. Then level 30 happens. Imagine you're playing one of those early 2010s space shooters on your phone. Now imagine that occasionally a toddler slaps your phone and moves your hand. Now imagine there is a random jump scare that not only is annoying, but it resets your progress every. Single. Time. That's why this is a two star game. |
