Actually difficult to solve
I do a lot of cryptography puzzles and escape room challenges and it it fantastic to see a game that makes me think over puzzles.

The Guides Reviews
No zoom, no support, no joy.
The app support link just leads to the main website, so I will feedback here: this puzzle relies on so tiny graphical details that I had to use a magnifying glass to see them. No zoom function available at all. This basically means that I cannot play this game. So, good concept, but work on the implementation, please.
So fun!!
I have been playing this game on and off for several years. I have been coming back to it over and over again and learning how to solve the puzzles on my own. It’s very fun and really causes you to think and use all of your senses not just your eyes.
Excellent
A great puzzle / code breaking game. Mostly pattern recognition and logic. Not too heavy on math. Good narrative hook too.
Brutally Hard. That’s what makes it so good.
It’s good. ‘Nuff said.
So Addicting
I definitely recommend playing with a friend in a battle of wits to see who is furthest along the next time you meet!!!
Awesome
This is one of if not the best mind twisters I've seen
Very challenging
But very satisfying
Awesome game.
A ton of fun. Puzzles are great. Definitely worth the $3 (at time of writing.)
Best game ever
This game is so much fun. I love being challenged and this game is super challenging. I had to ask my friend for help😂. I LOVE this game!!!!
