The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism from users, primarily due to the overwhelming number of ads required to play. Players report needing to watch multiple ads to earn tokens, which are necessary to access puzzles, leading to frustration over the limited gameplay without spending money. While some users are willing to tolerate ads for a free experience, many feel that the frequency and length of ads—often unskippable—detract from the overall enjoyment of the game, with some considering the monetization approach excessively aggressive and a cash grab.
“I enjoy all the puzzles and have been able to access all the daily page puzzles without a subscription; I haven't felt the need to subscribe except for no ads.”
“Paying an annual fee at approximately 10p/day means no ads - definitely worth it as access to all the earlier games means unlimited brain workout and great variety.”
“Monetization might seem excessive at first, but it's actually pretty reasonable compared to most other apps.”
“The amount of ads required to get tokens to solve the puzzles is mildly irritating.”
“You literally cannot play this game without watching ads.”
“The puzzles are fun but you'll spend more time watching ads than you will playing puzzles.”

The story aspect of the game is primarily driven by daily quests and challenges, which users find engaging but frustrating due to frequent glitches and tracking issues. Many players report that their progress is often not recognized, leading to dissatisfaction with the rewards system, which they feel does not adequately compensate for the time and effort spent on completing quests. While the variety of puzzles is appreciated, the overall experience is marred by technical problems that detract from the enjoyment of the narrative-driven elements.
“There is always an achievement, challenge, or quest to complete.”
“A very good variety of puzzles to give you incentive to play every day - completing quests and achievements.”
“Just wish they had cryptograms and/or story logic puzzles.”
“The only reason it isn't 5 stars is that although there are quests and special events, the reward for completing them is nowhere near worth the time and token expense to complete them.”
“Since the latest update, the achievements and quests reset every time I load the game.”
“I love playing this game, I do those daily pages every day, but I no longer get the prizes for the quests that I do, not for a long time now, so I've had to lower the score for now as those quests are the main way that I play the game to get the tokens and coins.”

Users find the grinding aspect of the game tedious due to excessive and lengthy ads that interrupt gameplay, often requiring more time to watch ads than to complete puzzles.

While some players still find enjoyment in the game, the overwhelming presence of ads and the grind for tokens detracts significantly from the experience.
“It is extremely tedious and annoying to have to watch 3-4 ads to play a single puzzle that usually takes half as long to complete as sitting through the ads.”
“The layout is messy, the ads tedious, and some of the puzzles aren't worth the tokens you pay.”
“It used to be a great app but the number of adverts it plays now makes it tedious to play.”
