Garbage
Extremely easy. Forever trying to push other app games on you. Sham.
To many ads
Every time I answer a riddle I get a ad and since when 5 dollar coffee is high
Annoyingly greedy app
Your choices are an ad EVERY level, possibly more or $6.99 PER WEEK to remove some not all of the ads (I’m sure you’ll still have to watch ads to get the boosters, idk I refuse to support predatory games like this with lazy designs, a big price tag & not much value for money) For those prices I would expect a much nicer designed game that is more than mildly entertaining. Do better…
This *ad* game *ad* sucks.
I just hate this game in general. It's beyond easy. The only challenging part is trying not to throw my phone out the window because I'm getting adds every five seconds. No part of me recommends this game unless you need motivation to attempt to will this game out of existence.
Not understanding
Nothing is working on that game
Rip off
Doesn’t follow thru with “rewards” and additional levels after viewing adds
This game gave me ads
But no seriously it’s not challenging and it’s full of ads.
Worst game ever
You get an ad after every single “riddle” if you can even call them that, it might be tough for an actual new born but this is the lowest effort game I’ve ever seen, there are zero redeeming qualities and was clearly only made as a vehicle to advertise other terrible games (with ads that don’t even relate to the game)
This has permanently effected my view on Apple as a company, allowing clearly botted reviews to stand and all this game to be charted, if they allow games like this, I can’t expect anything positive from them, I’ve already sold my MacBook and am buying a PC. Anyone recommend new phone companies?

Boooooooring
If you wanna watch ads instead of play a game this ones a winner
To many ads. Unplayable
Not even worth it don’t play or even spend money on this game
Nothing but Ads
30 seconds of game per 3 minutes of ads. It’s unbearable. Deleted after the 5th ad in 4 minutes.
Has potential
Sadly this is just another game with more ads than game. It’s going to be a pass for me.
Avoid
Not worth it.
No instructions
There are no instructions or rules available to learn to play. Big disappointment.
Not a fan
Too many ads.
No
Fun but too many ads so not fun
Five stars so you’ll read it
Butt. These aren’t even riddles, they’re more like favors. You’re just doing random junk to help people, I feel as if a chimpanzee would think these are no brainers.
Unreal amount of ads
There are SO many ads. If you want to get rid of them it's $7 a week... not worth it.
Terrible game
Literally can’t go more than 30 seconds without an ad, not tricky very mindless game also on first launch begs you to spend money
Not it
ADS after each riddle. Not worth it
ADS ADS ADS
there’s like 2-3 adds in between each level.. and the levels take all of 3 seconds to finish. really annoying
Tacky
To many adds just to do one level, not worth the wait
To many ads
I really wanted to like this game but not only do they want you to purchase a subscription but they have a ton of ads in the game that are annoying .
TO MANY ADS!!!
If you looking for something relaxing don’t get this game! You will be watching an ad after every single level. There are other games that are better than this trust me just get a different game!
Way too many ads
I really tried hard to play this game without any interruption. Even if ads pop up, there should be a way to close the ad window after 30 seconds or a minute. However, there is no way you can opt out of these ads and you’re forced to watch them. I really wanted to play and enjoy this game, but the amount of mandatory ads makes it highly unlikable and enjoyable.
Awful
Poor design, lame difficulty… super annoying adds even if you pay. Not worth it, it won’t help you at all at training your brain.
DONT DOWNLOAD
This game is literally the worst. After every level you have to watch an ad. I do not recommend at all you spend more time watching ads then actually playing the game. I repeat. Do not download this game at all. If I can give this zero stars I would.
Ridiculous amount of ads
I quit after the first TWO levels when the FOURTH consecutive ad popped up. The “super” no-ad subscription price is also ridiculous at $7/WEEK. There’s an option to just remove ads indefinitely for $20, but you can barely play the game to decide if it’s even worth it.
Show Proof???
No clue how to play this dumb game.
TOOO MANY ADS
Deleted the game - ads after every freaking level…
Ads
Way too many Ads.
One challenge; One ad….
This is unfair…I don’t work for you…I wanted to play a good game, NOT watch ads! You lose ANOTHER PLAYER…too bad…you need to rethink your priorities…you want ads? You won’t have players! BAD BUSINESS DECISION! Every time you play, you have to watch an ad…and unless you watch another ad…you do not get your rewards for winning the last challenge!! Bad game…
Garbage game made to milk suckers from their money…
This game is the worst of the worst for pay to play games. Not worth the time, effort and more importantly, the money!
Too many ads. No play time
Way too many ads. At least let us play 3 or 4 riddles before another long ad.
Waste of Time
Non stop advertising .
Just Call it Ad City
Today was my longest attempt, 15 minutes before deleting. Had 9 ads in that time. Garbage game
Useless Purchases
I paid to remove ads yet I still have to watch them. What was the purpose?
Ads
I paid for the ad free version but I’m still getting ads after every level.
Advertisement Traps
The advertisements are hard to escape/shut after viewing.
Too many ads
Ads take more time than the game. 1 every level. I dont want to spend my life watching ads for things I wont buy anyway.
Remove some ADs
An Ad after every level
No Ad option
I do not understand how I paid for the No Ad option TWICE, and am still getting Ads. I know I can watch an Ad and get extra rewards or something but Im not clicking on that. Every level I play I get an Ad, I figured hey maybe it didnt go through so I paid again hoping to fix the issue. Now I just want a refund and to delete the game. Dont waste your time.
NOT DIFFICULT AT ALL
Too easy to play
Gets BORING
Gets BORING
Messed up
App only went to level 356!!!!! What do I do with my purchases etc????? And then it wants you to download another game????
NOT FREE
Download for free but have to pay to play. 👎🏻👎🏻
Good game, too many ads
Wayyyyyyyy to many ads! After each level there are ads literally. The game itself is fun, but who wants to keep stopping for all the ads.
Too many ads
There is a long ad for every short puzzle
Ads
Too many ads
Ads on Ads
Free version has an ad every time you click something. Annoying. Deleted it immediately
DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS!!! Too many ads
I understand games having ads but like every level is an ad. You have to wait 5-15 seconds to be able to move forward. The no ad option is $6.99 weekly which is way too much.
I was ready to delete the app before the review option came up.
