User Reviews for The Academy: The First Riddle
Pls read, there is a big problem
Great game! Mostly it is wonderful, and the puzzles are great! But there is one problem I would like to notify you guys about. I don’t know if this is supposed to happen, but Dom and Maya keep saying I need to pull a lever to free Professor Wilson. I go to the basement to find the lever. I am now stuck in the caved-in basement. There is no lever in sight, I can walk through the rocks, and there is another one of me. The blue diamond is pointing me to a object. Yet it is solved, and will not let me touch it. Professor Wilson is nowhere in sight. I watched a video on the third chapter. Apparently it should go right to exam results. Instead I am stuck in the basement. I need help. Pls fix the problem soon
Diversity and inclusion
I really tried to like this and the gameplay was up there with some of the best I played. However, the lack of students who look “like me” or of those I would hope to also see alongside me in an academy these days really killed the excitement. Get with the program, you guys. We don’t live in this world anymore and this is not what is real. Exceptionalism and aspiration is acquired by more than just the people being represented here. Now you have me looking at all your games the same. Include all kids of every ethnic background who occupy space so that kids playing your game can see themselves being represented in “your world”. Unless they’re just not welcome. If that’s the case then you have a bigger problem on your hands that’s gonna take some soul searching to find a solution to but that’s between you and your creator. Surely only he knows your heart. Peace and with love.
I love it!
I had no problem playing the entire first chapter. I read a lot of people experienced problems, but fortunately I didn’t encounter any. I personally like these kind of games. You often have to solve puzzles, which a lot of people don’t seem to like, but I actually enjoyed the type of puzzles they have in this game. It makes you really think hard! The adventure is fun, I wish it was longer. But I know the first chapter is just an introduction. The only thing I don’t like about this game is the controller. Moving your character around is a bit of a pain. I’m still going back and forth to buy the bundle. It’s a lot of money if the rest of the chapters was as short as the first one. And I wish I could go back after finishing the chapter to take the bonus puzzles that I skipped. It doesn’t let you do that. But honestly I really want to know the rest of the story.
Amazing game so far!
I’d give this a 4.5 if I could due to my dad’s experience mentioned below.Me and my dad have been playing this game because we love puzzles. So far there have been no issues; however, he has reached the end and encountered a glitch where he could go through rocks and wasn’t able to interact with anything or leave the area. He likes the game though and restarted to see if the glitch will happen again because he wants a proper ending. He also missed a lot of the daily puzzle books and newspaper puzzles. LOLI highly recommend this for anyone who likes solving puzzles/riddles. I’m still on chapter 2, and it’s taking me a while because I’m a completion-ist where I have to find all the daily puzzle books the librarian hides, the Arbor daily newspapers, and do all the side quests! Some of the puzzles can be tricky and some of the bonuses are easier than the main puzzles which I find funny. Some puzzles also confused with them not being really specific but I guess that’s the nature of how hard they’d be.Overall great game! And great story so far!! Thank you :)
Not that great 😕
I went into the game and I saw I had to click on chapter one to start the game but when I looked at chapter 2 I saw you had to pay for it and you have to pay for chapter 3 as well so I was sad about that. Once I got into chapter one the game automatically set ME AS A BOY! I don’t want to be a boy I’m a girl I wanted my character to be a girl and there isn’t a setting to change it. So far I was liking the game but then once I had my character (also named FOR me) go to bed the chapter was over and ended on a really weird, creepy note. I think they should make chapter 2 and 3 free, choose gender and name, and make it a little less creepy. I was disappointed when they had me be a boy and when they left me on basically a cliff hanger.
Makings of great game
This game is a lot of fun too play. I like the puzzles, even if some of them don’t make sense. The story is well written. The problem is the ending. You can’t really finish the game. After going into the basement, you can’t move forward at all. Also you can’t complete collections. There are places where the game says you should place something but it doesn’t say where to get it. Another thing is I have trouble completing the newspapers. Some newspapers glitch and you can’t click on all the squares. I feel like this game has the makings of a great game. It’s just not completely fleshed out. It still needs some tweaks and some more writing.
Ehh...
This game is a great game but there’s a few things I do not like first of all there’s the paying money issue for the first chapter was good but I when I went to sleep in my dorm it took me to the paying for the next chapter screen I do not think you should have to pay after that because the first chapter isn’t even that long and I heard another person say that to. I don’t think we should have to pay, Second of all I don’t like my character it’s a boy and people who get this game should chose their gender and lastly the controls are bad I think there should be an option zoom in and out and get to pick joystick or not. When I got this game I thought I would have a cool mystery type game but no this game let me down totally let me down. If you wanna waste your money on a game I prefer this game to be the most honest.
Great story and is there going to be a sequel?
I enjoyed the games as well the story, especially how interesting the characters came together in the beginning to become friends and develop themselves as a group of small detectives in the early stages of the game. In the beginning of the first part I was noticing that there some really cool things about the game . If you could please fix some of the problems that were in the game itself in started acting up in the beginning as well the second part going through the last chapter. There were some issues with flashing lights in this game throughout it and it was something that I thought I would bring up please fix it. These issues need to be addressed as well.
Could be 5 stars
Biggest issue is I can’t finish the game with a glitch ruining the last task covered my boulders and I’m just running endlessly through rocks 🙄 cannot pick up most items like daily books, I didn’t have issues with the puzzles but the puzzles make little to no sense for most people. So many great things but soooo many issues with moving and accessibility. To add to my first comment I have had zero luck on being able to contact developer to fix the glitch so I can actually finish. Would actually buy the next 2 games IF these issues were fixed.
Fun game, but no app support
For Harry Potter fans, this game is pretty fun. The puzzles really get your mind working and there’s a world that you can explore. The controls are a little hard to maneuver on a small screen, but it’s manageable. There’s no app support—the last update was sometime in 2020. If you make an in app purchase it also doesn’t work. I tried to make a purchase to get unlimited chocolates and ads and the app just swallowed up my money. Still seeing ads.
