The game's story is generally well-received, with players enjoying the nostalgic characters and quests that reflect the beloved Peanuts universe. However, many users express frustration over the heavy reliance on in-game purchases to progress, as numerous quests require expensive premium items or currency, making it difficult to advance without spending real money. Additionally, technical issues such as bugs and quest resets detract from the overall experience, leading to dissatisfaction among players who feel that the game could be more enjoyable with better balance and fewer paywalls.
“Love the idea of a game that uses my favorite characters, storylines, and themes.”
“The tasks are all animated and are part of character storylines.”
“I love the game and doing all the quests with the Peanuts characters!”
“This game is a waste of time; you have to buy bundles in-game to get characters needed to complete special events, which takes away focus on the main storyline. Most recently, items I constructed are not there for collecting, so I waste more time gathering items needed to construct items for the storyline, and the items that are used to construct items for the storyline are gone as if they were used to make something but that something is not available to collect. Full of bugs.”
“I have at least 6 quests in my quest bar that will always be there because I have no way to remove them, and I would like to be able to remove them or pass on the quests.”
“It's hard to get some quests done when you don't want to pay for it.”

The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism, with players expressing frustration over the heavy reliance on ads and in-app purchases to progress. Many users report that while watching ads can yield in-game currency, the rewards are insufficient and often lead to game crashes or glitches, making the experience tedious. Additionally, the presence of inappropriate ads and the high costs associated with in-app purchases have left players feeling that the game is designed more as a cash grab than a fair gaming experience.
“I'm not a bot, this game is legitimately awesome! There are no ads whatsoever unless you choose to watch an ad to skip the wait on building something. If you don't watch the ad, it costs 1 in-game dollar!”
“Making in-app purchases would certainly accelerate the play, but even without purchases, it is still playable.”
“The only downside is the in-app purchases that have to be made in order to progress to the next phase.”
“I would have given it 5 stars, but it takes me so long to save up the virtual dollars to get stuff I need to open more areas, as I never buy in-app purchases, so I sometimes get frustrated.”
“There is absolutely no way to advance without spending a crazy amount of money for this game or spend all your free time watching advertisements!”
“It used to be fun, but turned into a grind and a cash grab.”

“Fun game, but the amount of coins needed to expand land, place characters, and purchase items for quests is high, while the ability to earn coins through gameplay and selling items is very low.”

“It can become very, very tedious waiting 22 hours, 18 hours, etc. for an area of the game to complete, the other option being to use your 'greens', which you can earn usually one at a time or eventually end up paying for through lack of patience; which is clearly what the game maker intended.”
“Having to watch 220 videos to unlock 1 character is just mind numbing and tedious.”

The game features lovable character designs that resonate with players, but it is criticized for being heavily monetized, with a system that rewards players with minimal in-game currency for daily logins. This focus on financial incentives may detract from deeper character development.

“I love how the characters evolve throughout the game, making choices that impact their personalities and relationships with others.”
“The lovable character design really draws you in, and the way they grow and change over time keeps the experience engaging.”

“I was disappointed by the lack of meaningful choices in character progression; it feels like a linear path with no real impact on the story.”
“While the character designs are visually appealing, the development is hindered by a focus on monetization rather than genuine growth.”
