It’s a bit hard to describe this game. It starts off with a graphically rich and realistic style, which I always prefer. As you advance deeper into the game, the graphic style becomes inconsistent, changing back-and-forth between rich and cartoonish. Some rooms weren’t as cleanly rendered as others, and some were much too dark. The themes of the rooms often didn’t relate to each other, so there was no thread or story tying them together. After a while, it seemed that there was no end to this game, with room after room full of creative puzzles. Some rooms took only a few minutes to complete. Many found items were too small or dark and hard to see on my smartphone, and they are not described in text, so I had to make assumptions about those. Otherwise, I didn’t experience any major problems with functionality, so it all played pretty smoothly. Considering that the game is free, that makes it a bargain. However, I wish there were much better hints, or any at all in most cases. Some hints were more confusing than the puzzles. When the goal of a puzzle was too difficult to determine, but no hints were offered, the only option was to let the game solve the puzzle and skip it entirely. Since a few puzzles were just annoyingly time-consuming, this came in handy. But most times I just wanted a little helpful hint that wasn’t available.
I’m enjoying this escape game. It doesn’t require my complete attention. I can watch TV and play the game. It’s relaxing, good graphics, pretty clever puzzles, and the solutions are logical. Similar games often use logic that’s so convoluted you need to use Hints frequently. So far, I’ve used Hints twice after playing many levels. My ratings are partially based on the ratio of ads to gameplay. If it’s reasonable, then the ads are appropriate for a free game. I have the impression that the game is easier than most, but still appropriately challenging for children, newbies, or, like me, needing to relax. Since the ads are at the end of each level, they want you to complete the level quickly so you watch as many ads as possible. That’s OK with me. There aren’t so many ads that you spend more time watching the ads than playing the game.
