I enjoyed this game very much. The puzzles are so varied and I LIKED that there was no explanation. They had just the right amount of challenge without being excruciatingly frustrating. Understanding the text is not necessary so the idiomatic and grammatical errors are irrelevant and the prose is understandable nonetheless, so who cares? I'd like to see how the complainers would fare if they developed anything in a second language. Oh, you don't intend to learn a second language?This developer did.The single complaint I have is that I acquired a set of objects and had no idea what to do with them. They were intended to be used in a completely different area on the map; I had to use a hint (I had a sizable cache of free hints which I never used - i don't know why another reviewer had to pay for his hints) to figure that out. At any rate it provided me weeks of enjoyment and it's fantastic that it saves your progress 100% so when you return you do not have to repeat any tasks as you have to in other games. I'm off to play another game by this developer!

...... the developer has to understand that it's not a good puzzle if everyone has to cheat to solve it. Lots of reviews online and lots of cheats and they all used hints to solve the puzzle on the outside of the theater. And then you have to pay for the hints! That's not cool. You can't make a puzzle so hard that it can't be solved. And then charge for the solution. And I know a lot of the people that put their cheats and hints online are a heck of a lot smarter than me, so if they have to use hints, think of how frustrated I am! Otherwise, I think the game is great. I've played a lot of Andy's games and I think he's really a terrific designer of these types of escape games. My personal preference however, are the ones like 50 Rooms that have individual rooms and you have to solve the puzzles before leaving that room (but don't get lazy and repeat rooms in a new version like you did in 100 Rooms). Sometimes I find it a little bit confusing when you have to go into a bunch of other rooms to gather clues and then go back out to the first room to solve the puzzle. Otherwise, I would say keep designing these apps. They really are great. And you are great at it! I need more! But remember, if the puzzle is ridiculously hard, people just get annoyed. That prevented me from giving it a 5.I have just finished playing this and felt the need to edit my review because my feelings have changed about a few aspects of the game. I will now gladly it a definite 5!!! I really wound up enjoying the different rooms and having to go back and forth to find the clues and solve the puzzles. I actually wound up liking it more than 50 rooms - where you have to complete everything in 1 room before moving on to the next. This was more challenging having to remember where you saw something or a puzzle and having to get back there to solve it. I will say however, I stand by my comments regarding some of the puzzles just being too hard to solve. It's very frustrating, and people online can't solve them either. There were at least 3 of those. Otherwise this game has been fabulous. We need more! Soon!!!

Just started playing, but it wants my review after five minutes of play. So... In this game, you play a masochistic and self-defeating “detective” nobody in their right mind would ever ask for help, let alone hire with money. You’re just the worst. It’s all you can do to find your way out of your own house! You were clearly born into wealth and have no professional success. You must suffer either from a memory disorder, or a psychological condition that causes lost time, multiple personalities—something to explain why you remove door handles, hide and bury your keys and other belongings. The one idiot who would ask you for help comes to you with the address of the place he urgently wants you to go to sealed inside an envelope with the strongest glue in the word that requires a knife to open, which of course you have concealed from yourself behind several, honestly impressively ingenious, devices. But at least he figured out how to enter and exit your front gate without the aid of a 2x4.

I thought that this was one of the escape the room to get to the next level. Wrong! It is an interconnected series of rooms, dungeons, sewers and scenarios seeded with difficult puzzles and item searches. It caught me by surprise and kept me intrigued. It took hours and a couple of weeks to get to the end. Whether I was on it for a couple of hours or just a few minutes when I would get back to it it would remember my place and all the items that I accumulated. I did not have to “start over” each time. I collected hints that I could use when I got stuck on a puzzle and I got stuck a few times. When I finished I was sorry because I was really into it. I’m looking for another one to play. Kudos to the coders that made this adventure, it was fun.
