I have really enjoyed this game - solving the clues and reading the uncovered facts - but I’ll have to stop now for these reasons: 1. I’ve played 1194 games and recently the short factual stories are the same ones as before - no new stories to read (and I don’t even mind the same clues to solve) 2. I paid the $4.99 USD to eliminate Ads (which I always do if I like the game), however, if you want to play the daily games you have to watch an AD EVERY DAY 3. If you want to play the “theme packs” - which are only 10-20 games each - you have to pay an additional $4.99 FOR EACH PACK 4. You aren’t really competing with other people because there are no Trophies for having the highest number of points at the end of the day and no bonuses if you win This was an enjoyable game for awhile - I didn’t even mind the grammar and word choice issues - but I’m not paying extra for the theme packs, nor am I going to watch an Ad daily just to play 4 games. So my journey ends here.

Forced ads are automatically an automatic 3-star at best, but they happen after every level on whats essentially a very easy and boring quiz game. Deleted after thirty minutes. Re: developer response: If you're gonna put ads in your game, incentivize players to watch them by offering rewards. DO NOT force players to watch ads after every level, or even at any point in the game. Forced ads are incredibly frowned upon and usually sparks an infinite sea of 1- and 2- star ratings simply because they had to watch an ad for a bad Gardenscapes clone. Also, you should probably have real humans respond to your reviews, not AI bots. It's not really a developer response if the one responding to the review isn't a developer, but a bot made by a developer. Also, AI responses look incredibly lifeless and dull, and also make themselves extremely obvious. They say the same thing to multiple reviews (they usually only have like 5 or 6 coded in responses that they respond to reviews with based on key words, literally one of them is "ad"/"ads" 99% sure lol), say to contact an email, or try to convince you to buy their IAPs when you've already deleted the app. Do not get this game until they've removed the forced ads. Gameplay: Boring Ad Annoyance: Extreme Pop-Up Annoyance: Low Developer Response: Obvious AI Overall: 1.2/5

Ok, I get it. The developer makes money by showing ads. Example: in candy Crush, you can get free boosters for watching ads from 5 seconds to 30. You don’t have to watch unless you want boosters or lives. (The correct way for successful game apps). On this game I played one round. Then came an ad which was slightly annoying but it was only 5 seconds so okay. Next round, took me about 30 seconds to pass. Another ad BUT this time there was no counter & the ad seemed longer than 30 seconds. I really liked the game so I played another level for less than a minute & another ad. THE AD SEEMED TO BE OVER A MINUTE & before the next level started ANOTHER AD which seemed to be WELL OVER A MINUTE. Review: Played 15-20 sec. 5 sec ad Next played about 30 seconds. An AD THAT SEEMED LONGER THAN 30 Seconds but there was no timer so not sure Next played 45 seconds and TWO ADS played. BOTH SEEMED TO BE OVER A MINUTE & there is no “x” to close the ad even at the end. You have to look all over & wait until it finally appears. NEXT-I took about a minute to write this review & DELETE THE APP. Had I known, I wouldn’t have downloaded to start with. Could’ve been a decent game but it won’t.
