  1. [R3] Brain Who? Tricky Riddle Tests 3/5 · US Could be good but…: The game is nice. It’s just that when you figure out at the beginning how to solve it will not respond. I’ll try something and keep trying it and keep trying it and nothing and then when I use a hint, it’ll tell me to do the very thing I was doing. I don’t like that.

  6. [R23] Brain Who? Tricky Riddle Tests 4/5 · US Need to go back: I accidentally clicked the wrong age when I first downloaded it and it won’t let me go back. And I have a question, why are the movie questions so hard? like I let my little cousin play and he didn’t know a single movie the game was asking him to guess and he’s 15!

  17. [R34] Brain Who? Tricky Riddle Tests 1/5 · US Paid for no ads: I paid for no ads and the game pushes me to watch an ad to get a bonus prize. The option to go to next level takes a few seconds as it wants me to watch an ad. Wants me to pay $6.99 a week to become VIP. Money grab and rounds became boring and not challenging.
