I played it on an iPad mini which made it harder.

I like challenging puzzles that can be solved using logic and patience, but not luck and guesswork. )ĭespite these negatives, I generally appreciated the quality graphics and enjoyed the puzzles. I must be too stupid to use it correctly. I even tried going to the advertiser’s website. In 10-15 attempts, it never gave me the hints.

I resorted to trying the offer to watch a video in return for three free hints. I wasted many hints by accidentally touching the HINT icon. It’s not only maddeningly distracting, it’s too close to the MAP icon and the lower portion of every scene.

And as with all this developer’s escape games, the pop-up HINT icon continuously bounces. I used a walkthrough when stuck and in several instances, I still didn’t understand the logic of the solution. Better games will have a player make use of a found object within 6-8 movements. This early game has a pretty convoluted pathway of rooms, and combined with many objects in possession at any time, it’s very challenging to remember where objects can be played and how to find one’s way back. Not sure if same dev involved, cuz names are different.Having played this developer’s series of escape games beginning with the fourth game, then backwards to this game, it’s apparent they have improved as the series progresses. Anyone into these games will try it out anyway, as I did despite the less than stellar reviews, but just don’t get excited that there are these 2 ‘New’ 50 Rooms I & II. I’ll probably play, but if I get to those ridiculous levels or run out of hints (which NEVER happened in the others.be careful tho, it’s same as other where it takes a hint if you need to simply back up and it circles the back out symbol). Also, the rooms themselves are not very interesting and not much color, so they all look alike. I’m not super far (level 8ish), and I know the stupid ‘idk what I’m supposed to do’ puzzles, or the ones you do know, but are just absolutely wayyyyy too time consuming, in the other 50 Rooms I-XII or XIII’s, but I’m sure they’ll come. If you’ve played all the other series of 50 Rooms and/or 100 Rooms, it all looks the same tho you get less hints in this system and it’s EXTREMELY unintuitive.
