Overall, the game is considered fun but lacks significant replayability due to static puzzle solutions and frequent crashes without autosave. While players can enjoy switching roles or playing with different friends, the limited variability in gameplay and repetitive elements diminish the incentive for multiple playthroughs.
- “I'll recommend this one, it's fun and replayable switching sides, because even knowing the clues you'll have fun, or try to play with some other friends to see if they get the clues.”
- “It requires a bit of creativity and it's a good bit of fun, but once you figure it out, there isn't any replayability.”
- “Doesn't have much replayability aside from switching roles, and when some of the achievements don't unlock - which seems to be based on who is host/guest (just required another re-run and switching who is host).”
- “Only complaint is the puzzles are not randomized in their solutions, so the replayability is lacking.”
- “It is fairly fun to play through, though there isn't a whole lot of replay value.”
- “However, subsequent playthroughs use literally the same exact codes (with one exception), so replayability is not great.”
