“I got this game before it was available for 79p and I have to say, it needed to stay free. It has repeated questions and a repetitive soundtrack.”
“Because of a super boring surface and just one song playing for the next hours, if you want to get 100% achievements.”
“- 'calm and relaxing OST' - no, the OST is loud, abrupt, and bad; I would've stopped 30 seconds in if there wasn't a mute button.”

“Its simple and has cute graphics!”
“The artwork is cute and the programming is simplistic.”
“While there are options to change the resolution for the game, all this does is scale up the simplistic low-quality vector art assets used to make the game, which makes little or no difference to the graphics quality.”
“Without any other substantial graphics tweaks, it's not possible for gamers to improve the mediocre 2D visuals.”
“As the graphics suggest, it feels and plays like a junior high student's computer class project.”

“A fun little trivia game that will amuse you for half an hour and would probably be fun to break out at a party (if your guests enjoy quiz nights) - it just lacks any real replay value, containing only 200 questions.”

Reviews indicate that while some achievements can be easily obtained with minimal grinding, others require tedious and repetitive efforts that can be frustrating and time-consuming. Players express dissatisfaction with the reliance on luck for certain achievements, which detracts from the overall enjoyment of the game.
“That's how long I spent grinding through the same stupid questions in order to get the Charlie Chaplin question to pop so I could get the last achievement.”
“I've been trying for a freaking hour to answer this one question, but it still hasn't popped despite 7,682 instances of '61% of cats prefer opera over Korean pop music.' It's slow, repetitive, featureless, tedious... even the redeeming feature of easy achievements is kind of nullified by relying on pure luck.”
“The one big plus about this game is that the badges are easy to obtain via campaign mode, and I don't have to waste my time grinding to get them.”

Overall, the experience is seen as a double-edged sword, balancing between engaging content and uncomfortable economic themes.
“Ain't no romani slurs, just literal advertising disguised as part of the game, and depressing quips about the state of the average person's finances in North America. If I wanted to think about hard economic realities, I'd look at my bank account.”
“The monetization strategy feels exploitative, as it constantly pushes players to spend money to enjoy the game fully.”
“It's frustrating that the game is designed in a way that makes progress nearly impossible without spending real money.”
