Real Logic Riddle Puzzle Reviews

by Godlyguy25

While I thoroughly enjoy this game, the advertising system is invasive, maddeningly repetitive and disruptive to the overall game experience. Imagine trying to relax by listening to music or a podcast while playing this game only to have the whole experience derailed. When you hit the “X” to attempt to clear the obnoxious reoccurring ad banner, it triggers an whole screen ad with audio that interrupts your music or podcast and cannot be skipped until after a hard 5 seconds. This can happen several times in a single game.

Advertising is a critical part to any free app produced by a small independent developer, I completely understand it’s purpose. However of all the free puzzle game apps I use, RealLogicRiddlePuzzle is by far the most abusive in the way the ads are integrated into the game. There are plenty of ways to monetize this game’s platform without disrupting the experience. I’d be happy to give more feedback if you respond with an email address. Thanks.

In a game of logic, you should be able to start with the first clue and come to the correct conclusion by the end of the puzzle. This game, however, cannot always be won unless you begin with the “correct” clue. There is absolutely no way to determine which clue that is, and this in itself makes the game the exact opposite of “logical”. I have literally spent hours on a game, only to suddenly stumble on the solution just because I used a different clue as my starting point. Other than this, which is a scenario that occurs maybe 75% of the time, the game is enjoyable to play, but won’t get 5 stars from me until it becomes what it claims to be- logical.

I was one of the early users of this game and have seen it through multiple updates. I think it’s the oldest game on my phone, other than solitaire, and I still like it. The updates have made it easier to use, though I miss a few of the early version pictures. If you like logic puzzles at all, you’re sure to enjoy. More years since... and still playing Ditto ... keep going! They’ve added a lot of puzzles! So bummed about the google ads taking up part of the screen now. I need to expand the puzzle size to use it and the ads get in the way - even preventing me from moving the screen around or closing out of the settings box. Frustrating to play now. If they’d figure out another way to incorporate ads or let me purchase an upgrade without ads, I’d still use it…

I love this game - it’s addicting and takes me back to 7th grade lessons on logic. But on the more challenging levels there often aren’t enough clues to solve the puzzles. So I have to save a checkpoint, take a 50/50 guess, and see if it works out (if it doesn’t I know the other option is correct, load the saved checkpoint, and move forward with the now-known fact) - but often both options lead to a dead end and I have to keep trying 50/50 options until I find one that works ... it can get tedious. I would love an update that makes puzzles solvable without the tedious troubleshooting. (Maybe look for a trend of puzzles that take users an unusually long time to solve?)

I’ve never left a review for a game, but I think this one needs it and the developers need to know: I love this game! The only reason I can’t give it 5 stars is because there is no option to purchase no ads. I would totally pay for RealLogicRiddlePuzzle just to get rid of the ads! Granted, I’d be an addict, but it’d be so worth it! As it is, after having to watch an ad for the second or third time, I just leave the game for a couple of days until I’m ready to watch more ads just to play. The game itself is really fun and gets you thinking. I really do think there should be a “no-ads, purchase“ option, though!

I play the Hard level puzzles, about 200 so far in just a couple weeks. Most I do in under 30 minutes. Why are there a few that take hours? I end up taking pictures of screens and trying to pick up an extra box or two as I methodically try each line as the solved start line. There should be a way to get a hint or a free boxed solved or even the final solution. Once solved, the puzzle disappears so fast you can’t study where you may have gotten stuck and it’s not retrievable. I’m still addicted, but would love to see some changes.

In the insane level it sometimes changes icons or adds or removes them so it is confusing to those with memory problems. I use pencil and paper snd have a specific method but some I can’t solve. I am glad there is no time limit because I’m slower. I have played it for several years now and really enjoy it as my husband is very ill so especially now I need a diversion from worry.
It would be nice if you had a pop up message when the person playing game misread a clue or applied it incorrectly. Please continue providing it for free as we are on a limited budget and it’s my favorite pass time.

Having a lot of fun so far. The hard ones are a good challenge but still solvable. Haven’t tried insane yet.
My biggest complaint is that it only seems to work in a portrait orientation. My iPad has a case that allows it to prop up in landscape orientation but not portrait. So it is awkward to play on my iPad.
Would also love it if I could highlight paired objects all the time, rather than just have them highlight when the clue is visible. That can take over 20 clicks to get to the right clue to check. Each column could have a different color highlight for pairs that belong together.

I really enjoy playing this game but I have found a couple of the puzzles that are unsolvable. I’ve been thru all of the clues in these puzzles several times and double checked and there just isn’t enough information to solve them.
The unsolvable puzzles are 5x5 puzzles that don’t provide a row that is already solved,like most of the puzzles. It is possible that I just need to restart and rethink my opening strategy,which I haven’t tried yet, but I’ve several other puzzles just like these without a problem.

As others have said, the controls are great. This has so many games at every level! I love the “insane” level. (Even though I wish they would rename it to something that wasn't a mental illness term.) This level is harvest and requires being able to organize all the conditions of the puzzle. This is where the sorting tools they include are so great. I can’t say enough. About how great RealLogicRiddlePuzzle is. It also has several language options so sometimes I do simpler puzzles in another language to learn something.
I wish I could purchase an ad-free version. Sometimes when I’m on the verge of making a connection and have figured something out, I get an an ad that makes me lose my train of thought. This game is worth paying for.

Update: The problem I had with RealLogicRiddlePuzzle has been fixed. Great game, very addictive, five stars for you!! :)

I love this game on my kindle. It highlights the clues you are working on so it is easier to solve the puzzles. If this was also applicable on the iPad, I'd give a five star rating. However, this version does not have even the option to turn on the helpful highlighting, so only giving three stars for now. If fixed in an update, I'll give five stars.

This is an absolutely addicting and fun game! I love it! But, as I saw in another review, I wish that there was a variety in the pictures of the different levels. I get that you can’t have something new for every level, but you could use different animals or letters. Like the lawyer doesn’t eat apples or Diana is the owner of a fish etc. besides that, it is a lovely game and I love how at the bottom, if you don’t know what it is, you can see like lawyer symbol red light apple symbol. Keep up the good work!

The only thing I’d change about this game is the 29-move limit on undoing moves, which makes it quite difficult to use what-if logic on the biggest puzzles. This should be bumped up to at least 99 or even dropped altogether. Otherwise, this is a fun and challenging way to give yourself a mental workout.

Update: Since my original review, they’ve remedied the what-if situation by adding save-state and restore-state functionality, which lets you try something out and instantly go back to where you were, with no move limits. That’s good enough to bump my rating up from 4 to 5, though I’d still like to eventually see the 29-move undo limit go away.

Great app! By far my favorite of this type of logic puzzles. RealLogicRiddlePuzzle has so many features that other similar apps do not have. Excellent feature to be able to hide the clues, once you have used them. I like the new addition of being able to turn the positive/negative clues on/off - and also the "Save Checkpoint".
I, too, appreciate VERY MUCH that one can play without having to accumulate coins or tokens. There are not so many ads that it is annoying, and very worth it to play for free! THANK YOU!

by KathyWM16

Love love love this game!!! This is the only game I can play for lengths of time without so many ads. Actually, I don’t believe there are any!! I lose interest quickly in the others because I can’t play them long enough to get anywhere. This game keeps my interest when I’m stuck waiting in places and often times end up worrying about my phone running low on battery because this game IS hard to put down! Lots of fun!

This is such a great, quality game. It’s fun and challenging, and there are lots of ways to sort/view the data while solving. You can tell how much thought went into making this as good as it is. It’s absolutely worth the download.

One complaint, though. I am definitely ok with seeing ads because the game is so good, but the ads randomly playing during the middle of a solve is pretty terrible. It totally breaks my concentration. I completely understand the need for the devs to make ad revenue but I wish the data would play after a solve.

One suggestion. I’d like to be able to make the solve square bigger. Seems like there’s some extra room in the green area above the clues that could accommodate making it a little larger.

Even with my complaint and suggestion, I adore this game and the devs have done a fantastic job. Thank you!

Tough to put this down! Ads not too long or intrusive. I like that I can play freely without “buying coins” or “paying credits” for each game, and that there are many games at each level. I peeked at the first game of “Insane” level and that’s definitely how I would describe it, I doubt I’ll be able to even start figuring those out. But there are 4 easier levels under that to keep my interest for quite a while! Lots of clues on the easy level, feels like it would be a good introduction for someone new to logic puzzles.

I love this game. Not only have I become more vigilent and logical over the past few months of playing this game, I have smarter. My friends and neighbors notice it. I have stayed awake longer and slept better.

However, I wish RealLogicRiddlePuzzle offered a point or money system. Some of the levels require myself to write down answers and take the game off my phone and onto paper. I wish hints or clues were offered, or a ‘give up’ option to be shown the answer and explained.

This game has helped me very much still. In my older age, I feel I have become more healthy and have better memory.

by 99Tricks

My favorite thing about this game is that there are no timers or level rewards to drive progression, and there are no tokens or passes to play the next round. Only the love of solving the next one keeps you coming back, and it’s not hindered by micro transactions. If timed is your thing, there are daily challenges that you can participate in where you are ranked according to your time. But if you still want to take your time you can, you’re not missing out on anything!

It is so refreshing to use an app that isn’t all about the greed that I don’t mind the sparsely scattered ads every now and then.

This game is interesting and fun. You begin practicing on the easy levels and work your any of the harder levels. A timer keeps track of your time to complete a game, and it it fun to go back to a game and try to beat your earlier time. It’s a fun way to relax and clear your mind. You can switch from one level to another depending on how well you are doing. It’s very rewarding to finish a game correctly and see a gold star appear on the screen.
