Disappointed
This one really could be fun, but it’s not thought out well enough and doesn’t give enough information for you to follow so you have to guess. You only have so many pencils so you’re constantly failing. Not fun.
Took my money, still showing ads
I paid to remove ads permanently and a week later I’m seeing ads again. I cannot get any support.
Won’t even open!

Won’t open
I loved the game, but recently it acts like it will open, but then closes. I reached out to the company but *crickets*
Buggy pos
App crashes after every level. Spend more development on your game instead of advertisements on other games. POS gameplay.
Miss the old version
I liked the game a lot but now that they changed the characters- no! I’d rather have the cute cartoon ones from before.
Can’t Sync Across IOS
Cant sync my phone profile with my table profile even though it’s under the same Apple account. Reached out plenty of time and got no response.

Could have been fun but…..
Game crashed after each level. Not good
Promotes Inbreeding
This has no same sex marriages, seems a bit sexist. The women are typically always divorced or a nurse. The game promotes inbreeding, multiple relatives are married, typically cousins. This is one of the puzzles “Malbert eventually found love and marriage with Erza, his cousin, whose supportive presence brought solace to his tumultuous life”
Too many ads
I love this type of game but there has literally been an ad popping up during play (not between levels) at least every 30 seconds. I go to click a person to move them into place and the ad pops up, trying to think of the next move and an ad pops up. I’ll be deleting the game, I guess if I get an alert that the issue is fixed I’ll try it again because I love this kind of game
Bugs need fixing
I like it but the clues are often wrong and don’t make sense- one recent example was “Terry and Robert share the same mother but different fathers. Terry has no siblings.”
Don’t waste your time
This game has and outrageous amount of ads and wants almost $10 to remove them. This game also gives very unuseful “hints”. Especially for the dinner and office levels. You only get 2 mistakes per level before you fail.
Crashes!!!!
I was on lv 687, so I obviously enjoyed the game. After this last update all it does is crash. You can’t progress in the side games because it won’t save. I deleted the game and downloaded again with the hope it would fix the problem. It didn’t. Now I’m on lv7 with the game crashing. I would have given 5 stars, won’t play again until problem is fixed.
Worthless
Dont download this game it’s garbage.
It’s racist
That’s it, it’s racist. They want you to stereotype and guess based on their skin color on the 51st level or something. Ew
Pencils
Need to provide more pencils. Initial guesses force ads to replenish. Five would be good to start then 2more for ads. Too time consuming watching ads. Love the game but!!
Support doesn’t exist
I have been reporting missing images in the game for months, and instead of fixing the problem, it’s gotten worse. Used to be once in a while. Now it’s daily. The game is challenging enough now that they’ve reduced the number of “pencils” from three to two. When you add the fact that they no longer provide images to help with the descriptive clues, all while adding stupid holiday mini-games, and you can see how frustrating it is!!!!!
I have reported the issues over and over and over and over without a single response or correction.

Needs work
No directions or help to explain how to use the tools.
Would be nice to place the people then submit.
Clues don’t make sene with n office picture and a party scene.

Please fix crash issue
I haven’t been able to play for weeks. Game crashes shortly after opening.
Lots of bugs
Have reloaded several times and the continually shuts down. Really liked the few puzzles I could do.
Crashes
I love this game. I’ve been playing for many years, but I am about to delete the game. It crashes EVERY TIME I play. It will crash most times I am watching an ad to play. The most frustrating time it crashes is when I’m 75% done with a tree and lose all my work! FIX THE CRASHES OR I AM DONE!!!!!
Crashing
Ever since the recent update, I cannot open this app. It crashes every time! Very frustrating!
Liberal Woke
Why must a simple game push the liberal woke agenda? Liked the game until every family had a homosexual relationship.
Trumpie for no reason
They randomly added the trump family and really really hyped them up in the clues.. yikes
Not responsive
Random clues, not necessarily based on logic but worse than that is how many times you have to tap on a character to get it to recognize your finger so you can drag it to a spot. It’s pretty annoying. Could be so much better.
It got weird and political
The game got weird and political at level 10. I decided to just delete before it got worse. There are plenty of other games that don’t insert political families (for propaganda).
Get rid of Office and Dinner!
I liked the logic of the game and even tolerated the adds BUT I do not like the Office or Dinner screens. It is almost enough to make me DUMP the app! I may yet!
Disappointed
Difficulty increases through ambiguous rather than harder logic. The puzzles have multiple possible solutions (per the clues), so the “correct” answer becomes somewhat random.
Don’t spend money on this game
Too many glitches every few puzzles. Sometimes I’m stuck in an ad that won’t close and requires starting the same puzzle all over again. Wouldn’t be that much of a bother unless you’re competing in a race or it’s a timed hard level. I normally enjoy logic games but the misspellings, poor grammar, simple mistakes, and non-traditional pairings left me apathetic. Plus, it overheats my cell phone. I’ll pass - deleted.
Needs updating
Love this game, but it is constantly crashing.
Quitting after 500+ levels
Im on level 515. I’ve beaten the game on story mode and build mode. But the dinner and office levels they’ve just added make zero sense and make the game so annoying to play now. Onto something else.
Great game with some minor bugs
Enjoyable game and is as advertised, but I run in to issues where it crashes between levels or when closing the pop ups that you get when you first open the app.
Review
Clues don’t correspond well with the appointed spots
It’s timed now and no longer fun
I used to enjoy this game, but now it’s timed and the fun has gone out of it for me. I enjoyed taking my time and not feeling rushed. I’m now trying out other logic puzzle games.
buns
family descriptions don’t even make sense
Trump supporters
Why are yall creating a story supporting trump?? it's a game for God sake
Bug
I keep getting ‘kicked out’ of the app.
Heteronormative Bore
Every single last couple is hetero. Good grief.
Fun game, but then turned racist
Game wanted us to identify people by their races in level 31, then named the “Chinese” lady as they specified a name that was a slur with one letter missing. I’d attach the screenshot if possible bc that was wild to see.
Too many forced selections
The content of the game is good. Well written clues. But the app forces players to use hints at opening of a level. This may be appropriate at some point. But at the beginning levels, I would rather have opportunities to have more control of my choices. Lacking ability to explore and learn the game, I’m out.
Long wait time for lives. Not enough opportunities to earn a booster.
The game is fun but too many ads. I don't want to buy the full version because there are no boost change I still have to watch ads and limited and the time for a new life is ridiculous you only get three. You can easily not open this app until the next day after playing.
Daily puzzle unplayable
The daily family puzzle poraits are blank, making the game unplayable. Ex: if it asks for the astronaut or farmer, how are you supposed to tell them apart?
Needs improvement
I like the logic puzzles, but wish there were no extra games attached. The couples levels are too easy. Additionally, my chief complaint is the abundance of grammatical errors (ex: “Brenda have great grandchildren”) and cousins marrying each other (??). Could be a great game but needs significant improvements.
……
I liked this game but then they added the office and dining room levels that make no sense.
Forcing an event
Keeps forcing me into the guess the character event everytime i open the app. There isnt a close button on the pop up, only play. I dont want to play guess the character i want to play the family tree puzzle game. Makes it so i cant even open the app and enjoy it when the event is around
Not super woke
It’s kind of a fun game but some of the clues and names feel a little racially ignorant and the family trees are all hetero and kind of place the man as the head of the family. Decided it just felt kind of icky to play so I deleted it.
Glitchy and sometimes arbitrary
This game is consistently glitching for me and not allowing me to pick people up to move them. Additionally some of the clues could refer to two equally likely spots but have some random reason behind it.
Daily Challenge
What’s going on with the daily challenges?? There are no pictures of the people, just pink and blue circles to choose from but you’re still giving hints like “married to a nurse” “married to a farmer” but I can’t see the description of anyone because it’s just pink and blue circles!! Please fix this!!
Game Great, Clues Terrible
I really liked this game for a short time, but I have removed it from my device for two reasons. First, the clues are very poorly written, making guessing absolutely necessary. That is NOT how a LOGIC puzzle should work.
Second, the content of the clues is totally anti-family. People are adopting children to turn the children into slaves to take care of the “parent” in their old age. Children and parents disassociate with each other forever. Step-parents mistreat their step-children. People marry simply due to greed. It is depressing. This is a GAME. I should leave it at least in a positive mood, if not happy.
Not a good game at all, except for the mechanics.
