Good game but…
Mon May 09 2022 wontoetyouleavebadreviewOverall, a good game. Challenging but playable. There are ads, but you are not constantly bombarded by them. The only critique that I have is that some of the clues really do not make sense towards figuring out the solution. In other words, some of the clues are so vague that it is almost impossible to figure out the puzzle without a hint. And I would rather have to sit and think of the solution and come up with it on my own rather than use a hint because it is not possible to figure out the next step from the vague clues. Other than that, I think this game is an excellent attempt put out by an amateur developer. I can’t wait to see what they do in the future. UPDATE – I am changing my rating from a four to a five star. Yes, you do need hints to solve some of the puzzles, but if you think about it, that’s what games like this are all about. This game is superbly designed. It keeps you challenged and entertained, but rarely frustrated. I hope to be playing this game for a long time to come!
PS-I have NEVER given a game a five star review before. I do not hand them out lightly. But this game is so well executed, seeming to keep the best interest of the player in mind at all times, I feel it deserves the five star rating. That being said, if you like puzzle games, logic games, hidden object games, etc…, give this one a try. I think he will be pleasantly surprised!
Fun, challenging & slightly addictive..
Fri Jan 10 2020 TempLadyDaneeThis is 1 of those games that actually makes you think to solve the puzzles & clues to escape that various rooms. The graphics are good, but not great. There needs to be some improvements in a few areas. Things are difficult to see in your inventory, it’s barely possible to see what some of the items actually are. There is no zoom in on the items that you don’t have to add another inventory item to it. Zoom would also help to be able to look around inside the room. There is a tunnel vision as if you are looking inside the room through a telescope unless there is something that you need to do with a specific area. It would also be great to a have a quantity of tasks that need to be completed. The other thing I would love to see is an area where you can work out a problem or clue. I actually need a pen & paper to complete some clues as there are many things that need to be referenced to solve a problem-for instance having colors that correspond to specific numbers, etc. I usually NEVER write reviews on games, maybe twice ever, but this game has so much potential to be AMAZING! I seriously hope the game owners actually read these reviews to make future improvements. The best people to give feedback is the people, like me, that downloaded this game over all the others. I ALWAYS read reviews & the number of people that even took the time to write a review that WASN’T a warning to NOT download it. I can’t wait to see some updates. 😆
Amazing so Addicting!
Sun Aug 16 2020 lil_~nay.•I love the game but it’s just the ads that are on the wheel they don’t give you anything I love when it’s easy because you just start to learn more and it’s really fun and pretty cool the levels are very well decorated but it’s just that everything is so hidden so that’s what makes it a little hard and what I also like about it is that there’s actually real looking thing like dogs,people and other stuff that’s what makes it feel real too the game it very cool because it’s like your in a room then in a cave imagine be in a room then there doors that turn like into a cave or a forest and other stuff but the thing is that it it’s just kinda hard because there is 50 levels in each mode so that like confusing but the ads should give at least one hint and lower the prices because nobody is gonna get that expensive hints just for that price so please lower the prices and add at least five hint to all of them me my brother and mom are so addicted we live the game too! And just want more hard levels please we love the game I love it my family is starting to like it and the game is also relaxing it really helps you learn better that’s what I think about the game so yeah keep working hard I like the game it’s amazing and my favorite that I all I have to say.
A Great Game!
Mon May 25 2020 CounterpointSueI have been playing Escape Room 50 for about a week and have moved through 30 levels. I’m very pleased with this game and how the developers formatted it. The graphics are excellent. The puzzles are challenging enough to keep me interested, but none of them have been overly easy up to this point. I appreciate that the developers placed ads in such a way that they are not irritating and the user can choose how many to watch. If you want hints beyond the number you receive for checking in every day, you need to watch ads or make a purchase. I often make purchases from apps that are developed well in order to support the people who created them. If this app continues to please, I will do that within this app.
Only one suggestion to the developers and their advertisers: When apps have 30-second ads, I put my device down and go do something else for a minute. When the ads only lasts 15 seconds, I don’t think it’s worth my time to walk away and I stay put. I also watch more of them. I can’t be alone in doing this. Explore market research about the best length for app ads. I’d lay down money you’ll find that 15-second ads give you more actual views than 30-second ads.
Great functionality and graphics for beginners
Wed Nov 22 2023 sfimoAlthough I played many escape games years ago, I stopped because I just didn’t have the free time any longer. Some were graphically richer and more elaborate than this one with intriguing storylines, but I recommend this as a very good one for beginners or intermediates who are learning how clues and puzzles work and also prefer nicely detailed graphics, good touch screen responsiveness and logical progression. I don’t like extended “hidden objects” puzzles that just distract from the goal, and this game has just enough hidden objects that all help you to escape each room. I also like that this game doesn’t have disturbing imagery (with a couple of benign exceptions) or make the player anxious that something scary is going to chase or attack while the player is solving puzzles, which stops those kinds of games if you get caught so you have to keep retrying. The only criticisms I have of this one is that I have a hard time seeing the tiny found objects on my small smartphone screen, and I wish clues were just hints and not full answers. I’ve just started playing escape games again this month and this is only the second one, so I’m still looking for games with a big payoff at the end of a long story with many interconnected levels.
Frustrating
Sun Jan 17 2021 EleniSSThe game is frustrating! There are NO explanations; sometimes diagrams but if you don’t understand what it’s showing you many never figure out how to solve the puzzle. While this makes it easier for an international audience, there are puzzles where you just have to click and try to figure out what it takes to solve or waste hint points. The concept is good and there are many rooms to ‘escape’. But some puzzles are excruciating to figure out and even with the hints I couldn’t understand the concept behind them. The hint points are generated by watching ads - you have to be careful to make sure the ad is completely done or you won’t get the hint point - but I’ve played for a while without an ad hint point opportunity. So there is no way to gauge when you can get the next hint point. You only get one hint point per ad while some puzzle solutions requires using three hints at a time. Also there should be ‘flashing light’ warnings as there is a light flashing when you move from one room to the next. Lasting you can’t zoom in to view things in the room sometimes even for items you need and you can’t zoom in on the tools you collect on the way to even figure out what the are. Some tools fade into the background of your collection and can’t be seen. There are a couple of the rooms were the clue can’t even been seen and even one room where the clue is wrong.
The BEST escape series I have EVER played!!!
Mon Apr 30 2018 7ang7I have played numerous escape games, and the "Room Escape 50 Rooms" series has virtually ALL the BEST elements of the greatest escape games out there, combined. I'm playing the first series now, only because when I discovered the series I just happened to play IV first.
Great graphics, challenging puzzles - difficult to complete, but not 'rip your hair out' difficult. When you get stuck, free hints are offered periodically - just watch a short video. Developers may not like this, but there ARE walkthrough videos online if you get really stuck. As a game player (who never pays for hints) I have sometimes uninstalled games when there aren't any walkthrough videos to refer to online. And when I do refer to a walkthrough, I often only watch long enough to get a partial hint so I can then go back and figure out the rest of the level on my own.
This series doesn't need any improvements; but because I'm sure developers always strive to make their games better, I'll offer one suggestion. While the music is pleasant enough, perhaps offering a variety of music throughout your 50 Room journey might make it even better!
Great game! One flaw...
Fri May 01 2020 el.lio.tI am addicted to this game- it’s super fun, the puzzles aren’t too hard, and all the rooms are unique. However, getting hints is next to impossible. I don’t usually use hints unless i’m truly stuck, and i really like that the game will give you one hint after a certain amount of time if you have none/are stuck. There is a way to get free hints, but it’s really hard- there’s a wheel, with three ad cards and three hint cards- if you spin and it lands on the ad card, you have to go to an ad and, in the end, don’t get a hint.
The thing is, after that you have to wait some more for it to refresh, so you can try again. It takes three hints to skip a puzzle, if you’re extremely stuck/have no idea how to do it. The hints don’t give you a hint on how to finish the puzzle, so you have to either figure it out, buy hints, or spin the wheel. It’s tedious and annoying- i’d rather have to watch a full ad and get a hint, waiting to have the chance to watch another, than wait to spin a wheel for a chance to get a hint over and over again. It’s annoying and unnecessary.
Again, i love this game- this is my only problem. Totally suggest it if you love escape room games like i do!
Favorite game ever
Sat Apr 11 2020 kel7144Best game ever, beat all levels including all 50 in XI so PLEASE MAKE MORE. It’s just challenging enough to make you think hard but is the most fun I’ve had because it like a real life escape room. The puzzles are fun, intricate, challenging and perfect. It doesn’t treat you like your a little kid, amazing for adults who like problem solving/puzzles/look and find/escape rooms. My only issue is sometimes the codes/math stuff is confusing and I’m an industrial engineer/ a spot I can’t find in the picture but they give you ample opportunity to earn hints which solves both these issues when they come up rarely. A lot of times I’m like darn it I was so close but yes needed the hint, so hints are amazing and keep the game from getting too hard/frustrating. 5/5 stars, please make more levels, I love when there’s games in them/stuff/real puzzles or swaps of things rather than the just switch arrows to get the prices in place for the pic because those are wayyy to hard to get get perfect because its more of a Rubicks cube than puzzle.
But yes much love all around for this app. Always my go to (besides when I beat all the levels like now)
Search fun, games bad, hints don’t always pay out
Wed Oct 14 2020 Vonner32I like solving search games. This one has a great ongoing variety. It’s been a lot better than others I did because the levels keep going.
Finding a lot of spots not responding until I use a hint & then it opens up. Not buying hints period.
Giving it a three star because almost every other round now the games are messed up. There’s no understanding what the object is & the clues just get waisted circling that game as next step or cash in 3 for answers. Which aren’t always paid out after watching ads to get.
How about a form of explaining what it is you’re supposed to do in the game.
Also, some search hidden objects aren’t making sense how anyone would know to use the other aspects. For example there’s a 15 number banner going across screen & in one place only use ten of the numbers then later in another place use the last 5. It needs more rhyme or reason than a possibility of 30 different scenarios guess which one. It’s about seeing a strategy & it being realistic expectations of that strategy. To many options make you use hints which it’s obviously getting to become. Seriously starting to lose interest in it for that reason.
