The Room Three in IOS

★★★★★

★★★★★ Nothing compares to The Room series

The Room series sets the standard for iPad gaming, and so far nothing else I've found comes close to competing. Fully immersive, spectacular graphics, beautiful sound, and a challenging experience. The first time I played the first in the series, my jaw dropped, and I have been on a quest for truly excellent gaming ever since. There are a handful of good games out there (paltry few), but so far The Room is still king. Room 3 adds a level of complexity by not only maintaining the "zoom in closer... closer...." puzzles, but rather than focusing on one area that can be explored on a macro and micro level, you explore many such areas. There are times in this game where it starts to feel more like the "map searching" of a HOG than it has in the past two iterations, and some of the wonder of infinite size and complexity gets lost as you're simply moving from room to room (only in a few spots in the game, though) but over all they have maintained the integrity of the series. If you've stumbled on this without being familiar with the first two games, run (don't walk) to the original Room game and purchase it now. Warning: once you've started on these games, you will be spoiled. Every other game out there will feel flat and you'll realize how much other mobile game developers have failed to truly take advantage of the platform.

★★★★★ Absolutely Brilliant

As a long-time fan of the "Room" trilogy, I can say that the "Room Three", like the other two, is magnificently crafted and clearly highly sophisticated, offering an UNFORGETTABLE experience; except THIS installment is the "most" complex and elaborate of the three. A roughly 6-7 hour intriguing storyline (depending on how much of a genius you are), a mind-blowing conclusion, stunning visuals, and packed with extra content for you to play with after completing the story the first time around. The "Room" games profoundly exceed even the "highest" expectations for a mobile/tablet game, and should be considered for development on a larger scale - PC, Consoles, etc. I got chills as I trekked through the missions one by one with my earphones on at midnight every night, as a "before-bed tradition" for a whole week. I advise anyone who wants the best experience, to do the same. I don't usually write reviews for "iPad apps", but this is beyond anything I have ever played; let alone played on an iPad! "Fireproof Games" should continue down this road of game development, so we can continue to experience such astounding journeys. The "Room Three", and its previous titles, are gems of gameplay experiences that will continue to live on and have a true impact on its audiences. I commend the developers for this work of art, and highly encourage others to immerse themselves in this legendary franchise!!!

★★★★★ Absolutely the BEST GAME EVER! Part 3 The Quest Continues!

Having solved The Room 1 & 2 with complete puzzle solving satisfaction, my only quibble was that I solved them so rapidly I wish they were more lengthy. Small quibble indeed, though, as with each revision The Room becomes even more elegantly lavish, both audibly and graphically! But the graphics are the SO spectacular, they can be awe inspiring! Combine these attributes with the intricate movements, precision of delicate instrument tuning, and overall originality of all devices, rooms, and environments there within, and this series stands out as THE BEST GAME, period, that the Apple App Store has to offer! Having just dove in to the 3rd offering from this first class app developer, in can already feel the wonder and intrigue engulfing every sense of my human being. These are truly wonderful pieces of hidden adventure and mystery just waiting to be tested and tasted by anyone who has a keen intrigue into solving the mysterious and surrounding ones self in pure fascination! I have not been so enthralled by a scenic, mysterious, adventure in the puzzling genre since the, so long ago, original, awe inspired story wrapped in a puzzle, surrounded by a riddle, and hidden within an enigma, since the MYST series of computer games! If you want to heighten your ever curious sense of mystery solving just purchase this game. It is well worth the price of admission!

★★★★★ Wonderful game, but crashes a lot.

I have purchased and played all three "The Room" games and have thoroughly enjoyed all of them. I have played the first two multiple times and was very excited to see there was a third. The graphics are superb, although a little dark. I had a difficult time in some areas where reflections on my screen obscured some of the darker areas in a room (I did play with the lights off in a dark room when I had the chance and that helped, but still ran into areas where I almost missed things because they were in shadow). I also really enjoyed the multiple endings. My one big issue with this game is the amount of crashes I had to endure just to get through it. Now, it may have just been my iPad, but, especially after reaching the first ending, it would crash on me almost every five minutes. I would unlock/open an inventory item, only to have the game crash, have to reload and go back and get it (it was already unlocked, just had to work my way back to it and "pick it up" again). The crashes became very annoying and I almost decided to stop playing, but I'm a bit of a completionist and pushed on. All in all, I love these games and I hope Fireproof continues to make them (if the story allows). Despite the crashes, it's definitely worth the $5.

★★★★★ Disappointed with alternative endings.

So I beat the game. You can then revisit to find other ways to win. This is where my 5 star experience turns into a 2 star experience. I accidentally clicked the room that sends you to the outside observatory which is the last room in the game before you beat it. I didn’t want to go here but there’s no way back once you’re here. If I click restart chapter it simply restarts from the animation of me warping into the room I don’t want to be in. If I go to the main menu I can only continue or make a new profile. So basically my only option is to beet the last room again before I can restart the game in the main house where I was before I clicked the door. I find this so so annoying. So annoying in fact that I’m refusing to go through that again just to get back to where I want to be. It’s bad foresight on the development end and because of that I’m leaving a 2 star review and refusing to finish the other 4 puzzles until this is fixed. If you’re going to let someone free roam to discover alternative endings after they beet the game you should let them return to different areas that locked you inside in the original game if they click the wrong thing. The puzzles are great but this new alternative ending thing you guys are trying wasn’t very well thought out IMO. If I click restart chapter on an alternative ending campaign it should take me to the very beginning, end of story.

★★★★★ Completely wonderful

I have been playing The Room series since its inception. It is hands-down the best game experience on the iPhone. I enjoy a good strategy far more than "shoot-em-ups", and this serves up serious strategic puzzles in an intensely intricate way. I love the hint system. It is there when you want it, but you are free to ignore it to try your own way first. And the timing of the hint system is perfect. You can tell the game authors took their time and actually played this game through while paying attention to the complexity of each puzzle. The hints don't even appear at first so that you can't be dragged down into "hint-addiction". Rather, they appear just when you think you really need them and even then, you're free to ignore them if you think you're so smart. And even then, each hint is "tiered" with small details at first before giving way to larger details. Wonderful! The details are amazing. The intricate puzzles are just right. The atmosphere and story line top-shelf. I know The Room Three was delayed for several months. IT WAS WORTH THE WAIT! I sure hope the authors' creative juices are already flowing for the next iteration. Thanks for an excellent game! This game would be worth $10 for the next iteration based on my experiences with the authors. Simply amazing.

★★★★★ The Rooms just keep getting better

I stumbled across The Room as a suggested app I could like. I purchased it and couldn't finish it soon enough. It was almost too short. Then The Room Two was released. I didn't hesitate to buy it. It had more puzzles and a longer game time than the first. I was happily pleased with the purchase. The other day I was in the App Store and saw The Room Three had been created. I couldn't have bought it any faster, and this one is by far my favorite. There are so many puzzles, ranging from fairly easy to really needing to think and almost run through all the possibilities before you find the answer. Should all else fail, the hints are available. And I love how the hints never give the answer so blatantly at the start. They'll ease you into the answer. Usually a little step in the right direction is all I need to figure out my next move so I appreciate that. Aside from each the puzzles, there are alternate endings, which so far I've only discovered how to be imprisoned haha, but I'm excited to reveal the others. There's so much more I could say about this game, but if you need to know one thing, it's that you won't be disappointed. I hope the creators continue this series and make many more Rooms. You have a forever customer.
