The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the frequency and intrusiveness of ads, particularly when transitioning between rooms or seeking hints. While some users appreciate the option to watch ads for hints and acknowledge that ads are expected in free games, others feel that the sheer volume detracts from the overall experience.

- “Love how you don't have in-app purchases.”
- “You know... for a game that honestly requires zero in-game purchases to play, it's very good!”

Total waste of time; whomever made this game was only thinking of how much money they could make from the adverts and forgot about the players.”
