Escape Challenge:secret room17 Reviews

by Hurlgirl1718

Despite the warnings of too many ads, I had to check this game out since people noted that the puzzle itself was really good... and it was. However, the excessive ads (I’m talking at least 1 per minute) and having to restart every time I had to put the game down were deal breakers for me. I expect to see ads in a free game, but the ridiculous frequency in this game were beyond aggravating. Coupled with the inability to save my progress, I deleted it. Unless you have hours upon hours to just sit & play the game uninterrupted, just move along. It’s a shame, b/c game was decent otherwise.

It’s true, there are too many ads. I get it though, it’s a free game so I oblige and purchase the ad-free option. I figured out level one fairly quick, but seemed stuck on 4x4 multi-color clue hanging on the wall behind the bed. I understood that there was a clue in each room (R4, G2, Y1, and P3). I also saw that the dots colored for Yellow and Purple did not correspond to numbers shown (yellow had 3 and purple 1). I obliged again and watched ads for the clues (despite paying for the ad-free version) and discover I have to watch close to 30 ads to get to clue 13 of 16. The clue says “According to the prompt on the color of the location to get the password.” Huh? Password is shown to be G2, P8, R3, and Y1. How sway??? So I basically spent money for an ad-free version only to be coaxed into watching ads to get a hint for an unsolvable puzzle. Got it. Deleted!

This game didn’t make any sense. All the one star comments are accurate. Too many ads, have to buy hints that start from square one (which you’ve already solved), the buttons don’t work half the time, and the color/number puzzles have no logic to solving them. It’s virtually impossible to figure out without a walk through. This game feels like it was made to be impossible on purpose so you’ll pay for clues and to get rid of the ads. Don’t waste your time. There are so many games out there that are far better than this one.

I really did not like this game I would rate it zero stars if I could the quality was not good and I had know idea how to play it it could of at least had a tutorial I thought you could walk around the room and find things for yourself it turns out you just tap random things on one picture and if it zooms in its a clue I had absolutely no idea we’re to start I played the game for about 15 minutes and did not like it would definitely not recommend..... this review is a bit harsh and I am sorry for that but it’s my best escape game I ever had (since I’ve only had two)

At first I really liked it but then all these adds starting popping up and the clues made no sense and when they did on one of the first levels I figured got the the answer before they gave the clue because it’s a puzzle they put together and the last piece I already knew what it was so put it in and did not work later on when I got the last piece I tried it again and it worked which made me mad because I already knew what it was 🙄

The amount and frequency of the ads on this game are ridiculous. I get it’s free and ad supported but this one is too much. They place a as in the bottom of the screen that’s very hard to not press it while playing. About every 2-3 minutes and 5 second full screen ad comes on interrupting game play. In addition to that I just noticed that if you want a hint it will cost you 5 coins and you can watch 1 ad for 2 coins. Deleted

I love escape rooms and I’m pretty good at them, this one is really obnoxious because it does not save, every time I have to turn it off then I have to start back at the beginning, it’s such a waste of time to have to redo every step. Also I wish there was an option to purchase hints instead of having to watch so many adds, I know the adds are necessary for costs but if there was a buy hints option I would choose that as my time is important to me.

by Nothard2pls

The premise is fine, but there’s no saving, you’ll get so far need to stop and come back and none of your progress will saved, forcing you to start from scratch.
There’s also a 5 second ad pop up every 30 seconds to a minute. If not for the lack of saving I wouldn’t mind it, but all things considered there’s no point to playing this game unless you can beat each level in one sitting and don’t mind a countless number of ads.

Okay, in the beginning this game was actually pretty fun to try and look for the clues in the escape room. But, after about 10 tries it seemed IMPOSSIBLE to get past the very first level! I have had this game for about 5 months now and I haven’t even gotten past the first level! Now whenever I scroll through my games app section I immediately skip this game because it’s honestly hard and a little boring. Also, after ever three minutes or so a video ad pops up and when it’s like 30 seconds long I’m forced to watch the whole thing rather than trying to figure out the clues. Overall, please just make it easier, no ads, and finally, not as boring. I’m not trying to be rude or anything but I just think the game could be fixed. Thank you!

I like the escape rooms with more than one room but this game has a glitch I went on the game as normal and there’s a glitch which is the things are moved out of their spot so like throughout the side of my iPad and one of the letter pad things the letters are glitched out of the squares so thanks for the update now I have to play on my mom‘s old phone... thanks a lot I don’t wanna be mean or anything😕😕😕

The game was very challenging and fun at first. I used a couple of hints, and I doing really good. I got frustrated so many times with the amount of ads that popped up. I got to the part with the book with the colorful numbers and the drawer...then I was so confused. I watched like three ads to get to the hint I needed....but it STILL did not make any sense. I asked my friend, and my sister, and they both did not know either. Also, it does not even save your progress. Don’t waste your time. Nice try though!!😁

by Avebud

Ok so I loved this game it was challenging and fun. But yes there are a lot of adds and I understand bc they’re giving this game to people for free. Which putting adds in is their way of making money. But my question for the developer is
are there only 2 levels?? If there is then I think that they need to put more levels into one game. Bc I don’t want to download every single version of EscapeChallenge just to play more than 2 levels. When there can be plenty of levels in one app.

This is a great game. I play it with my whole family. However, I think the progress should automatically save when you leave the game. Also some of the tips that I’ve used are things I have already done. Maybe do something so that it will adapt to a person’s previous actions? I’m just saying that I’ve wasted countless coins on tips that I have already done. Other than that this game is AWESOME!!!

The puzzles are fun and challenging, but the non-stop ad interruptions is super annoying. Puzzles won’t unlock until you’ve collected all the clues, so even if you know the answer, you’ll have to search for clues. In the first section, I needed hint #2, but only because I didn’t double tap all areas in a room. Otherwise, all the answers are in the game, no red herrings, no tricks.

Best escape game I’ve played so far. Very challenging but way too many ads. They pop up about every minute. Coordinate puzzle, made no sense and took forever to figure out. Had to watch ads for clues. Game doesn’t save progress, but Overall I still had fun playing. Second level way easier.

by Midnightoflavio

One thing that I noticed on this game is that it’s kind of like a real life thing called: Escape Room and so this really brings me back to the memory I had at Escape Room. I recommend people playing it. Escape Room is a wonderful experience with other people and you get to have fun!!!

After reading the reviews I decided to give this game a try anyway. I thought it was great. The clues were very helpful and some took quite a bit of thought and time to find. I think the ones complaining about the number of ads need to realize that the developers need to pay for the time and cost of the game somehow and they were able to offer for FREE to us by the way of having the ads. Also the more hints you buy (by way of watching an ad) increases the number you have to watch. Would you rather they offer no hints at all? As for the ones that were upset because the game has no save.....ummmm why close the game? Leave it running in the background. Not like it is going to eat many resources doing it that way. I started the game while at work and had to leave it several times due to work. I left it running in the background and even used the phone several times and was still able to finish it as time allowed with out a hiccup in the game.
Great Job guys on the game. Look forward of more to come from you!!

The game is inundated with ads. If you back out for any reason, it doesn't save your game. You have to start all over again. Hints are expensive and start with the most obvious. If you want to get to where you are actually stuck, you have to buy a lot of hints or watch about 20 ads.

First level yellow dots bad clue, 3 dots appeared to be flanked by other rows of numbers. Only way I solved was getting the 3 other color numbers, then entered yellow number by default. Imagine my annoyance to find yellow number is 1, which is an end row, not flanked by other rows. Made no sense. Second level very challenging, moving colored squares to cover color buttons took a while. Tip: Get the green first. Very good game.

by MrsPonthieux

I love escape games and this was one of my favorite. I see on the reviews a lot of people complaining about the complications of getting hints. I played the entire game without using a single hint. The game is challenging and I thought the point of playing escape games is yo be challenged therefore I truly do not understand all these people complaining about the game being difficult. I love the fact that the game was so challenging. Give it a try everyone. A lot of fun!
