Don’t play this game unless you want to shell out a lot of money free - ha-ha
Used to like it
Had this game like a year ago and it was fun. I switch games a lot so I came back to it. Unfortunately the new office and dinner levels ruined it for me… I see in other reviews it’s not just me that has an issue with them. I’ll come back in another year and see if y’all listened to the people and got rid of those levels. ✌️
Lost purchase
I was really enjoying this game until the latest update. I spent money to get rid of the ads permanently and ever since the latest update the ads are back. I have contacted support and given proof of purchase with no communication since.
Bogus clues to force the use of hints
This game deliberately gives vague clues for the office and dinner levels in an attempt to get you to use hints that I assume eventually cost money, or require you to watch ads. It’s the most obvious ploy of its kind that I’ve ever seen, and the developers should be ashamed of themselves.
I got fed up after just level 20 and deleted the app.

Errors in puzzles
I’ve encountered a few clues that are inaccurate, but if you make two mistakes, then you need to spend your coins (one of the things they encourage you to purchase) in order to continue the game. One example is “the scientist is the great-granddaughter of the adopted daughter of the soldier” when the youngest generation is the soldier’s great-grandkids, and the correct answer was his great-granddaughter’s brother.
Doesn’t work
Was stuck on a level because I couldn’t move the pieces .
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!
Whatever update has been installed won’t let me even access the app! It opens, but then immediately crashes while it loads…fix it!
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.
Terms of Service
Read the terms of service! You are agreeing to your personal data being sold by playing the game.
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
Game crashes, puzzles are impossible
The family tree puzzles are okay, assuming you don’t mind all the first cousins getting married. But lots of the levels are seating puzzles instead, and it doesn’t give you enough information to solve them, and it penalizes you for guessing wrong. And it crashes.
Not Enough Hints for some???
I was playing the dinner one, and there were TWO salads, and a lot of the clues were “______ is eating a salad” or “______ loves chicken” with the other being “______hates veggies” yet it doesn’t tell you whether the people go on the left or right side of the table. I assumed it didn’t matter because NONE of the hints would give me more information than what food they wanted to eat. It took my pencils when I was technically right and followed ALL the hints, and it only explained what food they want and not who they may be sitting next to or what side of the table they’re on. If you’re gonna make a game where you basically have to GUESS, DON’T give people a specific number of lives. Otherwise, fix the hints so we don’t have to guess.
Issues
I love the game but I keep getting ‘kicked out’ of the app.
Fun game poor clue writing
The game is a fun concept but the puzzles aren’t logical. Many of the puzzles come down to clues that are ambiguous and could mean multiple different placements. Can be fun but don’t expect a real logic puzzle.
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
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
