Escape Challenge:secret room17 for Negative User Reviews
✓ Too littleThe game was great and all, but there were only two levels that were free which I finished faster. The other levels you had to actually pay for. I didn’t think I would do the same levels over again, so I just deleted the game. Please add more free levels..Version: 1.1
✓ Too hard!Okay, in the beginning this game was actually pretty fun to try and look for the clues in the escape room. But, after about 10 tries it seemed IMPOSSIBLE to get past the very first level! I have had this game for about 5 months now and I haven’t even gotten past the first level! Now whenever I scroll through my games app section I immediately skip this game because it’s honestly hard and a little boring. Also, after ever three minutes or so a video ad pops up and when it’s like 30 seconds long I’m forced to watch the whole thing rather than trying to figure out the clues. Overall, please just make it easier, no ads, and finally, not as boring. I’m not trying to be rude or anything but I just think the game could be fixed. Thank you! - Ava.Version: 1.1
✓ This Game is badGraphics are horrible you get Ads every five seconds it is so bad.Version: 1.1
✓ DO NOT GETI’ve never written a review before, but I had to because this game was so bad. Every 5th tap it plays an ad. And if you want hints it plays an ad, but you can’t chose hints you need. So I watched a video and if gave me a hint of how to collect items I’ve already collected. Didn’t get even halfway done the first level because the game has terrible clues, Japanese writing, and bombards you with an ad every few seconds..Version: 1.1
✓ Save ProgressYour games need to automatically save the progress, even when closing the app. I do not like to start over after I close the app and come back in. This is why I chose to delete. Overall, the game itself is enjoyable..Version: 1.1
✓ Waste of timeYou have to watch videos to get 2 coins. You need 5 coins for clue. You have to burn through coins earned for what you've already solved. At least this game should be intelligent enough to know what you've solved. Try to find walkthrough if you can. Clues within game are vague to say the least. If you pay for clues the logic makes no sense. So I won't give 2 cents (pun intended) for this game. I pay for games that are logical not ones that are obvious they are just taking you money..Version: 1.0
✓ Too many ads!I understand free apps but this was ridiculous! Every few seconds an add would flick up and you don’t get any free hints. The hints were basic giveaways that you had to watch at least three more ads to get and I don’t feel like you could really understand the clues. And I’ve played several of these types of games. It’s truly not worth your time. I’m ashamed that it has so many positive reviews..Version: 1.0
✓ Irritating adsI usually love escape games but this one has ads pop up and block the screen for multiple seconds, consistently interrupting gameplay. I understand that ads are needed for revenue but being interrupted constantly is not good marketing for this type of game. It takes away from the memory portion of the game and interrupts concentration. Very frustrating. Deleting and finding a new one..Version: 1.0
✓ Awful! Stole my money!DO NOT BUY! I was stuck and couldn’t move past one part. I thought I had it correct and couldn’t figure out what I was doing wrong. I finally broke down and bought the hint. I actually did have the correct answer, but something is just wrong with the stupid game and won’t proceed even if you follow the exact hints. Total ripoff. I think they do it on purpose to steal your money. Also, wayyy too many ads!.Version: 1.0
✓ Clicked on one objectNow can't go back.Version: 1.1
✓ Clue doesn’t workI tried to figure out the clue with the book. Finally gave up, paid for clue to assist. The hint did not help solve the clue with the book. I have tried everything and cannot get the clue to work. There are no hints out there to help. I have all the clues for this level to this point and cannot go any farther. I’m very frustrated with this game. Pay the extra for the hint and it doesn’t work. Waste of money..Version: 1.0
✓ Can’t access controlsScreen content seems ‘zoomed in’ and unable to access the controls..Version: 1.1
✓ For hintsI need hints.Version: 1.1
✓ Um okOk so I loved this game it was challenging and fun. But yes there are a lot of adds and I understand bc they’re giving this game to people for free. Which putting adds in is their way of making money. But my question for the developer is are there only 2 levels?? If there is then I think that they need to put more levels into one game. Bc I don’t want to download every single version of this app just to play more than 2 levels. When there can be plenty of levels in one app..Version: 1.1
✓ Mores ads than gameThe amount and frequency of the ads on this game are ridiculous. I get it’s free and ad supported but this one is too much. They place a as in the bottom of the screen that’s very hard to not press it while playing. About every 2-3 minutes and 5 second full screen ad comes on interrupting game play. In addition to that I just noticed that if you want a hint it will cost you 5 coins and you can watch 1 ad for 2 coins. Deleted.Version: 1.0
✓ Play screen too large.This game is not compatible with my iPad even though it says it is. The play screen is too large which means you can’t select the game menus or even go back after clicking something in the game screen. After I finish this review, the game will be promptly deleted!.Version: 1.1
✓ TerribleOnce you click on something, you can’t get back.Version: 1.1
✓ WHYWhile playing adds keeps popping up. STUPID deleted now waste my time..Version: 1.0
✓ Ads Ads Ads and more AdsTOOOOOOOOOOOO many ads. Would be a pretty decent game if I could play for more than 14 seconds without another ad. Just finished second level and coming back to this review. Really is a shame they’ve messed up this gaming experience with the incessant ads. So disappointing and frustrating. Finished so deleting now.Version: 1.0
✓ Lack of saving & ad inundation are dealbreakers for meDespite the warnings of too many ads, I had to check this game out since people noted that the puzzle itself was really good... and it was. However, the excessive ads (I’m talking at least 1 per minute) and having to restart every time I had to put the game down were deal breakers for me. I expect to see ads in a free game, but the ridiculous frequency in this game were beyond aggravating. Coupled with the inability to save my progress, I deleted it. Unless you have hours upon hours to just sit & play the game uninterrupted, just move along. It’s a shame, b/c game was decent otherwise..Version: 1.0
✓ Love it but there’s a glitchI like the escape rooms with more than one room but this game has a glitch I went on the game as normal and there’s a glitch which is the things are moved out of their spot so like throughout the side of my iPad and one of the letter pad things the letters are glitched out of the squares so thanks for the update now I have to play on my mom‘s old phone... thanks a lot I don’t wanna be mean or anything😕😕😕.Version: 1.1
✓ Deleting this crapIt’s true, there are too many ads. I get it though, it’s a free game so I oblige and purchase the ad-free option. I figured out level one fairly quick, but seemed stuck on 4x4 multi-color clue hanging on the wall behind the bed. I understood that there was a clue in each room (R4, G2, Y1, and P3). I also saw that the dots colored for Yellow and Purple did not correspond to numbers shown (yellow had 3 and purple 1). I obliged again and watched ads for the clues (despite paying for the ad-free version) and discover I have to watch close to 30 ads to get to clue 13 of 16. The clue says “According to the prompt on the color of the location to get the password.” Huh? Password is shown to be G2, P8, R3, and Y1. How sway??? So I basically spent money for an ad-free version only to be coaxed into watching ads to get a hint for an unsolvable puzzle. Got it. Deleted!.Version: 1.1
✓ Too badThought I’d try it. The hints are horrible. I was almost done and got stuck so I used a hint and had to go though all 16 hints which meant I had to watch ads to get the coins to buy the hints, not to mention the ridiculous amount of ads while playing the game. I can’t even say if the game was fun or not. By the time I got to the hint I needed I didn’t even want to play anymore too bad too coulda been challenging.Version: 1.1
✓ RubbishI’m into escape games but this is rubbish and I deleted it after my grandchildren also rated it as a rubbish game, but they did like the graphics..Version: 1.1
✓ Not goodI really did not like this game I would rate it zero stars if I could the quality was not good and I had know idea how to play it it could of at least had a tutorial I thought you could walk around the room and find things for yourself it turns out you just tap random things on one picture and if it zooms in its a clue I had absolutely no idea we’re to start I played the game for about 15 minutes and did not like it would definitely not recommend..... this review is a bit harsh and I am sorry for that but it’s my best escape game I ever had (since I’ve only had two).Version: 1.0
✓ New to the gameNew to the game, and I like that there are multiple puzzles in multiple rooms (more than most games) but you should offer more hints. The whole idea is to let people play the game a little before they decide to buy it. I am contemplating deleting the app instead if buying it, for this very reason :(.Version: 1.0
✓ Ad frequency.Potentially a great game, but the frequency of the ads was extremely distracting, to the point where I could not really get a feel for the game. I’m all for ads in free games but if it is too excessive potential buyers will just delete it after the first few minutes. Perhaps an ad every few minutes instead of what felt like 60 seconds or so would be better..Version: 1.0
✓ HorribleJust when you think you figured it out, an Ad pops up. When trying to go to the next room, the arrow buttons don’t work properly. And when you do figure out the solution, the drawers don’t open because you have to solve each problem in the right order. And then don’t even bother to watch the videos for hints because they only reveal hints you’ve probably figured out already. I was more frustrated than entertained..Version: 1.0
✓ Fun but doesn’t saveI love escape rooms and I’m pretty good at them, this one is really obnoxious because it does not save, every time I have to turn it off then I have to start back at the beginning, it’s such a waste of time to have to redo every step. Also I wish there was an option to purchase hints instead of having to watch so many adds, I know the adds are necessary for costs but if there was a buy hints option I would choose that as my time is important to me..Version: 1.1
✓ Way too many addsWaaayyyy toooo many adds.Version: 1.1
✓ MaybeSo for one there is way to many adds for two this might just be me but the part with the book and the colored buttons I’ve tried pressing them like this red twice green twice yellow once or red four green seven yellow four nothing is working make at least the part easier but tell me how it’s making me so frustrated 🤬🤬🤬!!!!!.Version: 1.0
✓ Escape challengeThere are a ton of puzzles in this 4 room challenge. However they are complicated and don’t make sense. Even if you spend 16 minutes to watch ALL 16 pages of clues and get the correct answers (some of which don’t relate to the clues) they don’t work when punched in. There are also way too many 5 second ads.....Version: 1.1
✓ Ugh!This has got to be the worst escape game I have ever played and I have played many. Ads practically every time you touch something, no logical sequence to puzzles, unimaginative graphics and only 1 level for free! I have deleted after only 5 minutes. My advice- don't bother. There are far better games out there, particularly those developed by Haiku..Version: 1.0
✓ Bad!I downloaded this today and I instantly deleted it right after. The first level has N point it is hard to do even one thing! I couldn’t understand the game and I couldn’t get past the first level! This is a big disappointment. I really like escape games, but this one isn’t any good! Also there was so many ads I couldn’t go one minute without an ad popping up on the screen! 😞 😔 😢.Version: 1.0
✓ No saving, and bad adsThe premise is fine, but there’s no saving, you’ll get so far need to stop and come back and none of your progress will saved, forcing you to start from scratch. There’s also a 5 second ad pop up every 30 seconds to a minute. If not for the lack of saving I wouldn’t mind it, but all things considered there’s no point to playing this game unless you can beat each level in one sitting and don’t mind a countless number of ads..Version: 1.1
✓ Adverts ruined enjoymentWhats with the hugely intrusive adverts you are forced to watch?! I gave up after 5 mins because of it. If you are looking for another The Room or Escape From Grisly Manor then do not get this game..Version: 1.0
✓ Ads, ads, ads, ads, ads, ads nauseum.Way to many pop Up ads..Version: 1.0
✓ Have potential but clues are uselessAs everyone says, the clues are useless and you need a lot of coins to solve something, and even with that the clues aren’t working (at least with the book with color numbers). I give up because I wasn’t able to move forward after that! Looks good but so sad that doesn’t work properly!.Version: 1.0
✓ Bad mechanicsLove escape games, hate using hints. Thought I was stumped, watched videos for hints. Two problems. 1) You have to buy hints from beginning. So if you have made it through the initial steps, you have to watch a million videos for hints. 2) The mechanics are the puzzle not the puzzle. For example the book with the colored numbers obviously pairs with the drawer but the lock mechanics are poor. Several other examples where the puzzle is simple but the mechanics are bad..Version: 1.0
✓ Convoluted. Don’t waste your time.This game didn’t make any sense. All the one star comments are accurate. Too many ads, have to buy hints that start from square one (which you’ve already solved), the buttons don’t work half the time, and the color/number puzzles have no logic to solving them. It’s virtually impossible to figure out without a walk through. This game feels like it was made to be impossible on purpose so you’ll pay for clues and to get rid of the ads. Don’t waste your time. There are so many games out there that are far better than this one..Version: 1.1
✓ Absolute garbageFind something else to do with your time.Version: 1.1
✓ Poor hint facilitationI didn’t need any hints until I was halfway in. For me to have to watch enough ads to earn 30 coins to have the hints “catch up” to me is poor execution, in my opinion. Better to not have hints at all than to make me pay for hints I don’t even need. Also, the colors and numbers.. there’s no logic nor pattern to solving it. You HAVE to have a logic to solve it. But you made it so either we have to buy the app or watch numerous ads to finally solve it. Stupid. And extremely short. Uninstalling..Version: 1.0
✓ Constant and Aggressive Ad Spam!Unable to play for even 2 consecutive minutes without ads interrupting. It’s CONSTANT. Didn’t even have a chance to find out if the game was decent or not due to this infuriating advertisement spamming technique- I decided about 10 minutes in that my blood pressure wasn’t going to be able to handle all the rage I was going through. Deleting after this review. Save your sanity and skip this one..Version: 1.1
✓ ComplicatedIt’s interesting but I’m stuck at the first room and can’t pass it. Some of the letters and numbers are hard to distinguish (like Illegible, not creative). And the ads are annoying. This Chinese people want to get every buck out of you every 2 minutes..Version: 1.0
✓ AwfulJust awful.Version: 1.1
✓ Not worth the timeI play many escape games. By far this one is the worst. Every minute another ad. The game would be stellar if not for that and the fact if you need hints you watch multiple ads or pay. I was able to finish the game without thankfully but this really shows the true character of the game maker..Version: 1.0
✓ Excessive AdsFrustrating trying to play a puzzle game with ads popping up one every minute at least. Many of them take several seconds before you can X them out and continue the game and it makes it hard to keep your train of thought. Deleting this game for that reason..Version: 1.0
✓ MehIt was good until the ads started coming every 5 seconds. There is no pattern to things but it is fun if you are very bored.Version: 1.0
✓ Why tho?At first I really liked it but then all these adds starting popping up and the clues made no sense and when they did on one of the first levels I figured got the the answer before they gave the clue because it’s a puzzle they put together and the last piece I already knew what it was so put it in and did not work later on when I got the last piece I tried it again and it worked which made me mad because I already knew what it was 🙄.Version: 1.0
