Not the most ethical
The game uses AI for everything and you have to pay to do basically anything. Not to mention the owner is scamming UGC creators to promote the app and doesn’t pay them
hustler
was so much fun and then it made me pay before i could solve the mystery. it wasnt even rhat fun
U need to pay to finish
I mean the game is really good but u can’t even finish 1 singular episode because u have to pay to finish it🤦🏾♀️
I’m not paying for a game.
Plain and simple I won’t pay to play a game.
Lowkey waste of time
Don’t get me wrong- the game is great…in theory. But you can’t even finish a whole episode without paying and all the photos are ai which sucks because generative ai is so bad for the environment. It seems so cool but you can’t do much without paying. Not worth it to me.
no pictures load
For some reason, 3 of the stories have photos that wont load disallowing me from doing anything because the answers are in the pictures!!
Dumb
They will literally still charge your card, even though you are not subscribed to them anymore. I had unsubscribed from them way before my card would need to be charged and they still charged me for it.
Stupid
I don’t like this game it makes me pay after question 8 freaking bull
Pay To Play…
It’s alright, pay to play, and I’m not paying, as a lot of people probably won’t. You get to answer about 9 basic questions before the game asks you to pay weekly or for a year to keep playing. So I probably wouldn’t waste time and save your money.
i got so far into an episode then it popped up and said you have to pay to continue
dumb
do not buy
this app is great in theory but a lot of the time it doesn’t except your answers even when they are correct and then you can’t move on. i paid to have access to the whole app and have tried to reach out to request a refund or ask for help but have gotten no response. i’m stuck on three different episodes because the answer is saying it’s incorrect even when it is very clearly correct and the hint says the info is where i found it.
Pay
I hate that all everyone wants now is money. it is ridiculous that you can’t even finish the first series of this unless you pay. Definitely will be deleting. Game is not gold enough to buy a subscription
disappointed.
I love the app
but of course you have to pay which is super disappointing i just wanted to play and i’m not willing to spend money on this app im super sad because i finally found a game i like but cant play because i can’t afford it
so definitely a disappointment.

don’t bother downloading
Literally a waste of time. you go in and can only answer 9/15 questions before you have to pay to finish… they don’t even let you finish the first story and if you don’t wanna pay you’re stuck so you might as well delete it. story is also not even that good for the price
FREE
MAKE IT FREE‼️‼️
WORST GAME
First of all you can only play for so long until it makes you pay and you don’t even get UNLIMITED HINTS. Btw one of the perks of buying was no ads, THERE IS NO ADS IN THE FIRST PLACE! This game is so bad I would rather change my grandmas diapers.
Money??
wdym i have to pay after what? 5 questions? like bro. Please fix this because the game is so so sooo good but it’s unfair you have to pay to play bro
Payments
This game sucks they make you PAY after ONLY QUESTION 8 like bro what
Artificial Intelligence
Imagine paying money for a game that’s almost entirely AI.
Just no
Fun but had to delete after question 9. nobody is going to pay just to keep answering questions.
stop this nonsense
makes me pay after the night question of the first series. I am very mad. Fix this right now. I am poor or give me money or else i’m never playing ever again or give me a free trial
needs ads bc nb wanna pay ts
Put some ads in ur game if u actually want people to play it fr the game is. cool concept but u should also ad live episodes for people to play as well like cmon in this economy nb finna pay ts be fr for once and be like every other mobile game before ur a one hit wonder i inky downloaded this bc of a tiktok ad anyways shout out missburger for recommending this game but let’s be realistic if u rlly wanna make money and have ppl play
MAKE A FREE TRIAL OR FREE GAME
it is such a fun game and i would love to pay it but there is no way im paying to play. this game would have many many more downloads and users if you didnt have to pay…. you make money from the app being downloaded and used ai in the app. please stop being greedy
Ok
A lot more people would play this if it was free or cheaper to pay $30 is actually crazy even if that’s for a year that’s still insane
Have to pay
I was really starting to like this game when you get 1/2 way through you cannot play anymore and you have to pay.
false advertising :(
Says free, but you have to pay after question 9 off rip first series. It was fun, til it wasn’t!
hmmm
great idea for a game, don't think it should be that expensive especially when its ai slop. severely disappointed /:
Paywall
Makes you pay after question 9, no option for free trial just a week or a year subscription
So close
It seems like it’d be so much fun, if it didn’t come with a price tag. Everyone wants as much money as they can get, and it makes games no fun anymore. But good try.
ok
fun game but i dont wanna pay to play…
Ehhh
This app is fun and all but I don’t like how some times it’s really hard to find stuff.and the fact that a lot of stuff in this app is ai. Cuz I don’t think is that hard to use real people. Uhhhh other than all of that this app is really interesting.
