Trivia Puzzle Fortune Games!

This game can be fun for a short time but there are problems. First, if you like trivia you will find after a while how limited the questions and answers are. Not much depth and a few wrong answers. Then there is the competitive side to this game which should be cause for a much more extended fun and interesting experience but that doesn’t happen because of greed. The competition really starts when you join a team. You can start your own team but that doesn’t get you too far because when your team wins it moves up in rankings and you play against larger more established teams. It has been my experience that to have more fun you try to get on a good team but the fun of competing is short term because just getting the answers correct ends up playing second to buying a “multiplier.” The multiplier gets your team a big jump in the score. To get a multiplier you first must get gems. To get gems you have to watch commercials and or pay money. As teammates buy multipliers the cost goes up and up. As your team gets into higher levels the cost of multipliers goes up and up. Eventually your team will get to the highest level where a team with a very offensive political name for many, buys victory after victory by paying for first place. Week after week with very few exceptions when another team pays more or as some have said, finds a way to cheat. Now all these games need to make some money to exist but that need should not overwhelm the fun as it does here. Trivia plays second to how much people will pay to win.

This was a fun and challenging game, it really was. But as others have said the way too frequent ads is a major problem. I shouldn’t have to sit through a 45 second ad every time I solve a puzzle after about the sixth puzzle. You are forced to sit through a long 30 second ad and then it flips to another screen that counts down at least another 10 seconds after a long pause. It wouldn’t surprise me if it was closer to one full minute of ads after you solve every puzzle. After the third time of this I deleted the entire game and I have zero plans of ever installing it again. Other games seem to be able to run ads as a upper or lower banner so they don’t interfere with the gameplay. Why can’t this one? Long 30+ seconds ads are just hella annoying which is really a shame because I honestly was enjoying the game. But no, I am not going to decide to buy your game after only 6 to 10 puzzles to solve the ad problem and it’s not worth my while to sit through those painfully long ads. As I scroll down through the top 20 or 30 reviews am seeing a lot of one and two stars complaining about the exact same painfully long ads. So my question is how is the stars for this game so high?

I absolutely love this game, BUT… There are way too many ads. It’s not just that, but as a person who has had weight issues including anorexia the last thing I need to see every couple of minutes is about a pill where people have lost a lot of weight in a short period of time. That in itself is not healthy and should not be supported. I truly understand that the ads are what makes this game free, and I do appreciate that. They are just too frequent and some quite frankly, hurtful. Why not promote ads that are at least healthful? Just my two cents. I did give the game itself a high rating because it really is fun to play… 🙃
