monetization
147 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
3% positive mentions, 2% neutral mentions, 95% negative mentions
Monetization in this game heavily relies on frequent and sometimes forced ads, which many users find intrusive and frustrating, especially when ads disrupt gameplay or fail to load properly. While ads are generally optional and offer rewards like doubled gold or item drops, some players report ad limits, glitches, and continued ad presence even after purchasing ad removal. Despite the annoyance from ads, some reviewers appreciate the balance between free play and monetization, noting that the game remains enjoyable without mandatory payments.
- “Lab Escape has in-game purchases in the form of ad removal and buying drops beyond the 20 ads per day limit, but the quality of drops scales with your progress regardless of whether you decide to put any money into the game.”
- “Definitely worth the $5 for no ads.”
- “No ads, especially if you get the paid version, but I personally wouldn't mind paying to upgrade faster, as the progress is extremely slow.”
- “It's a good game but come on, you don't have to give me an ad after every run. Each run takes about 3-5 minutes early game, and your ads genuinely waste 15 minutes if I overestimate. Whenever I decide to watch an ad to boost my gold, you give me three, so I restart the app and lose my progress.”
- “For whatever reason, mine keeps saying 'ad limit 20 times per day' (which is already stupid since that's the only way to redeem things) even though I haven't watched any ads.”
- “Fun game - but you can't unlock most items unless you pay or watch an ad (to open a box) - even if you pay to remove the ads, you still have to either pay money or watch an ad to unlock most items.”

- “If you have a twisted sense of humor and like funny games, install this immediately!”

- “Bought the ad-free version to show my appreciation, but I wish there was more gameplay variation so unlocking all the hats was less grindy.”
