Escape the Home Town for Negative User Reviews

✓ Sneaky but NOT in a Good WayI would give it a higher rating but some of the puzzles are not possible to complete. So you have to either purchase hints to bypass them or watch ads to get the free ads. Except the free ads most of the time won’t work and don’t give you the free hints, even after suffering through them. I find this deceptive and frankly unseemly. So, you don’t get a higher rating..BbbgamesVersion: 1.0.1

✓ Too much hand holdingTry use an item on an object, if wrong a pop up appears showing you exactly what item you need to find and use on this object... In these kind of games half the fun is figuring out what item to use, the pop ups are annoying and ruin the fun.Millsy851224Version: 1.0.1

✓ Money grabberMost puzzles are too long winded and complicated to complete. Made on purpose to force you to buy hints beyond the ones you get with watching adverts. Each skip is worth 3 hints. 6 hints is 99p which might not sound much but with accidental presses on the skip button and so many difficult games… not as good as the 3rd chapter. I disliked that one room contained multiple puzzles and there were no hints on the items you got which could point you to the right room. The game needs reworking..Lostintrans37Version: 1.0.5

✓ Daily hints aren’t givenI quite enjoy this, yesterday I played a few times, didn’t get any daily hints, logged in today and it reset back to day one instead of 4 as it should. But sometimes the initial page is in Chinese, changes at random..PoleparrotVersion: 1.0.5

✓ StrugglingToo much for my tired old brain.WsderfcxaVersion: 1.0.6

✓ Goes from fun to frustratingI loved this game for the first few levels. The puzzles were tricky but fun, and the hints and map made for easy navigation and solving. HOWEVER, the puzzles get increasingly challenging, to the point of just giving up. I can only spin until colors align so many times before I just don’t care. After hours of game play (which I appreciate) I deleted the app before completing the game. It felt like bait-and-switch, where the point becomes having to buy hints to bypass impossible puzzles. Disappointing..KristysfVersion: 1.0.1

✓ Was fun until the puzzle in chapter 3Some of its fun. But some of the puzzles are tedious...like the jump-peg style game in ch 2. Wish there was a WT or skip Then...had to quit at chapter 3...the door puzzle with the 8 pieces to turn to form the deer/forest pic...even with a WT it’s impossible. The WTs online make sense and are solved quickly. But can’t follow the WT since the refresh randomizes the piece placement. No matter what i do, I can’t pass the puzzle. Had to quit. Bummer.Ally555Version: 1.0.1

✓ Stop harassing players for a ratingI love these puzzle games although the puzzles tend to get frustratingly hard I still like the games. However, I find it unbearably annoying to keep getting harassed with a “please rate us” pop up every single time I go into another room. I rate the apps when I feel I have played long enough to be able to give a rating. I hate being pestered to rate something when I’m not ready to rate it yet and clicking cancel doesn’t help as the pop up will just pop right back up at the next room. So annoying and because of this I rated it a 2 star instead because it annoyed me to the max to be constantly asked for a rating..Slytherin LennonVersion: 1.0.5

✓ The game is fun, but....The game is a lot of fun. But after not playing for a few days and returning to the game I started up the game like normal, except this time it’s telling me I have daily rewards but it freezes up and it won’t allow me to access the game. I’ve tried several times now and it’s super frustrating!!! If not for this problem I would have given more stars!!!.Autumn sky00Version: 1.0.5

✓ So far so goodSo far so good. I'm enjoying myself. I like the puzzles. It's entertaining but I just begun playing. I'll be back with more comment in a little while more into the game..Maltag15Version: 1.0.6

✓ Not sure yetMight come back with an edit. Not as good as Haiku games, but is warming on me..ProthymiaVersion: 1.0.1

✓ So soThis game fun but puzzle description is vague and poorly explained. Unclear most of the time what you need to accomplish.Cz887Version: 1.0.6

✓ Good game but instructions for puzzles are lackingI enjoy this type of game but I find it very frustrating that the instructions for the mini games are simple pictures which often leave me clueless as to what I’m supposed to achieve. Simple instructions such as, “Move all the pieces into the matching spaces,” or “Connect all the pipes,” would be much more helpful. I find myself wasting hints on puzzle solutions when all I need are better instructions..DJinOKVersion: 1.0.1

✓ Sometimes you have unlimited hintsBut then other times you got no hints, and sometimes do you have infinity hints.Bella151272Version: 1.1.0

✓ GlitchyI had fun playing this game in the beginning. Towards the end, there are a few puzzles that cannot be solved. I had to use the pass to move on. In particular, the puzzle where you have to light up each eye (Osiris/Horus). I took every possible path and it was always impossible. Another where you have to raise/lower the pieces to match up in the rows, the wreath was glitchy and made the puzzle unsolvable. Too bad, would've be a good game otherwise..SassciVersion: 1.0.6

✓ Good, Not GreatI originally gave this game 4 Stars but amended to 3. This Escape Room version is much better than their first one, 50 Rooms. This game they supply more hints by telling you that you need “something” to solve a certain puzzle. And they show you a picture of what is needed. The game is pretty long and not boring. Two negatives (and they did this with 50 Rooms) is when playing a puzzle game you are not sure what to do. There is a question mark at the top that is supposed to explain how to play that puzzle. Sometimes, the explanation is still not clear and you have no idea what has to be done. One of the last puzzles is to arrange “fan” tiles in a specific order. Their is a hint in the order but you have to randomly click on tiles for that order. Problem is that when you click on ONE tile, multiple tiles change. You could spend hours wasting time just clicking around. Very stupid and non necessary puzzle and why I changed to 3 stars..CaitnahVersion: 1.0.1

✓ Escape the hometownNot enough instructions how to play the games.Raygirl53Version: 1.0.5

✓ Mean hint systemI would give this 5*s except the games aren’t always clear and the hint system is mean. I would rather pay for a game outright than add on hints. I started off loving this escape game but it has turned to frustration now as it’s not worth the waiting for hints to generate..Wildflowers47Version: 1.0.1

✓ AlrightIts a decent game.Chrisy227Version: 1.0.6

✓ Fun but not enough hintsThe game is fun and challenging but they don’t offer enough hints considering it’s 3 hints to skip a puzzle. And when you’re stuck you spin the wheel and almost never do you get a hint. There should always be a hint given on the wheel. I’m stuck and can’t get past a puzzle and can’t get the hints to solve it, also I had it happen where I could have gotten 1 hint but the video wouldn’t play, then again I spun the wheel and had 2 hints but the video wouldn’t play so alas 0/3 hints were given to me last night.Bre porterVersion: 1.0.6

✓ Escape the home townI really like this game. However, you need to change the how to explanations. You look at the pics but they don’t tell you the objective at all. I’m stuck on a level due to that fact. Please place more direction and objectives on the game play. I will most likely delete for this very reason. I don’t want to skip the puzzles. That’s why I’m playing the game in the first place!!.Becky Farrow12Version: 1.1.0

✓ GoodGood way to while away the time. Thanks for creating this..Northern hornplayerVersion: 1.0.6

✓ Ipad reviewI don’t like not having an option to skip a puzzle. I’m usually good with puzzles, but certain ones, I simply cannot do. Graphics could use a crisper appearance. Not easy to figure out what to click on. Objects, once found, have no description. I guess that’s fine if you can’t read. I played until I got to the puzzle I can’t do. Help was not helpful to me—I know what needed to be done, but after 20 minutes, gave up. I write “Ipad review” so others know I’m playing on a 10 inch screen. Three stars for not having ads pop up! ✅.DanariusVersion: 1.0.1
