The game starts out just like it says, creepy and spooky puzzles that you have to solve in a time limit. Then suddenly the puzzles went from "Nightmare" to just kooky. No longer ghostly or haunting or escape/hide from the creepy character, just weird puzzles with weirder solutions. Overall the game is still fun, but I downloaded it for the creepy storylines not for "Help the man answer natures call" essence it took on later. To the developers, please make future levels Nightmarish again.
Reviews for Nightmare Puzzles: The Unknown
Love this game!! 🫶🏾😍 I thought it was a scam at first because of some reviews, but after playing the adds I had to find out for myself. There are many adds, but I did figure out a cheat code around it. 🤭 My little secret: I hit the home button on my phone then, clip back on the game and the adds dissappear. 😉 The only time that doesn't work is if I ask for a "hint" in the game (Which was rare)... But don't be discouraged this game is super fun! Hope my tip helped.
You cannot play this game without paying the $9.79 for ad removal. If you don't, you will get an ad for every click. There's few levels at the moment (38), but they were fun. I downloaded the game for the "creepy" factor, so I'm disappointed that after 24ish levels it started to recycle levels from all the other puzzle games like it. I hope the newer levels revert back to the creepy theme the game promoted in its ads. Would rate higher if they stayed with that theme.
it would be nice to play this game because its fun but the ads are absolutely terrible. Everytime you want a hint, win, lose, then it has ad breaks, and alot of the time when youre forced to watch an ad for a hint the game will either completely shut down and start over saving no progress, or it'll just lead you back to the puzzle with no hint at all and then a second after make you watch ANOTHER AD. Its a fun game but 1000% not worth it. i spent more time watching ads than i did playing. LAME.
this game is pretty fun and has a lot of potential but some of the stuff is just weird... and there's an ad after ever fail or every win AND when you click another stage and some last up to a full minute or even longer. I'm sorry, i can't do an ad everytime i click on a lvl and or fail and or win a lvl, it's too much. it's nice but some stuff like i said is a lil weird.
advertising is expected with these games. my annoyance comes from the ballerina level. if you don't touch the puzzle pieces exactly then the monster gets you. which is so annoying as the puzzle pieces are super small and some are hidden which is even more infuriating. either show all the pieces or get rid of the monster getting you if you touch ANYWHERE on the screen. so annoying I rage quit a few times because of it. the rest of the game is very fun. doesn't always make sense, aggressive ads.
If I could give it 0 stars,I would. First off only the fist few puzzles are horror related. The rest are meh. I understand completely the ads, but the amount of ads in the game us just ridiculous. There's two ads on the page. 1 on top and another at the bottom and the the one in the middle every change in page. Then there is a video ad every time you start a game oven if you don't finish it and then another every few minutes in the middle of the puzzle.Then the ones where you choose the games.
These high ratings HAVE to be paid ratings because they are lies!! The worst game experience for the amount of ads alone! But then add to it the difficulty in figuring out what the damn puzzle wants you to do makes you wanna pull your hair out. The concept is great. Execution of the concept is a complete FAIL!! Sad because I tried so hard to stick with it but that forth level did me in. No game should be this frustrating!
After level 53, the rest of the levels are unfortunately not horror theme anymore and MOSTLY stolen from other puzzle games, like the snow white one from brain baits. Although, they weren't many ads so I guess that's the positive side. Can't call it a nightmare puzzle if you add a non scary one. I like the small warning ones so I hope they exchange the non scary ones with that.
I couldn't get through even the first level without ads every few seconds, and they want you to pay to get rid of the "annoying ads," as they call them in the game. They know it's annoying and want people to waste money on a low quality game. Cutting the internet off doesn't even work since you apparently need it for the game despite it not being online. I'd find a better alternative to this one, it's just rage bait.
