  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.
  2. [R8] Brain Who? Tricky Riddle Tests 5/5 · US Fun game: I love how challenging this game is! Just hate how theres so many ads

  4. [R17] Brain Who? Tricky Riddle Tests 5/5 · US Excellent Game! No need to purchase expensive add ons: The questions are not too easy, and it features an international, diverse cast of characters. If you or your loved ones want a game that includes multiple representations of intelligence then you’ll love this one
  5. [R12] Brain Who? Tricky Riddle Tests 3/5 · US Brain who?: Good and fun somtimes laggy though
  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! But overall the game is awesome and I love it. And I am rating it but it won’t let me do 4 and a half stars so I am
  7. [R27] Brain Who? Tricky Riddle Tests 3/5 · US Game: It’s just okay and the sound doesn’t work
  8. [R63] Brain Test 3/5 · US ??: It was so good at first but then one day I wanted to play and I press the game and it load but then immediately kicks me out?? Nothing is wrong with my device.
  9. [R62] Brain Test 4/5 · US It was alright: I really do think this is a super fun game to play. It’s cool but tbh I have literally had to search up more than 3/4 of the answers because it was so hard and there’s so many ads! Also the ads for light bulbs like NEVER work! What’s up with that? But actually I’m fine with it because the game is so amazing and has great potential just needs a little tweaking
  10. [R1] Brain Who? Tricky Riddle Tests 2/5 · US TRASH: WISH I COULD DO ZERO STARS ON PUT 2 STARS SO HOPEFULLY SOMEONE CAN SEE REVIEW.TOO MANY ADDS….YOU SPEND MORE TIME TRYING TO GET THRU ADDS THAN EVEN PLAYING GAME
  11. [R4] Brain Who? Tricky Riddle Tests 1/5 · US don’t pay to remove ads!: I paid to remove ads and they still show you ads, so it’s a rip off. it’s like an ad after each level. not worth!
  12. [R5] Brain Who? Tricky Riddle Tests 4/5 · US Adds: To many adds
  13. [R6] Brain Who? Tricky Riddle Tests 3/5 · US Ads: Too many ads
  14. [R13] Brain Who? Tricky Riddle Tests 1/5 · US To many adds: Adds after every click. downloaded, played 1 game and watched 3 adds before I could play level 2. I instantly deleted if you want to watch more adds then play the game the this is the game for you
  15. [R14] Brain Who? Tricky Riddle Tests 4/5 · US Ad Problem: I really love this game!! I think it is super fun and really tests your brain. The only problem is there are so many ads and it makes it frustrating. There is an ad after every round and the rounds only take about 30 sec - 1 min. I think that if they reduced the ads number it would make it so much more fun to play!
  16. [R16] Brain Who? Tricky Riddle Tests 1/5 · US Ads: this game is horrible, you get ads every time u beat a level and it’s actually annoying. don’t download this game it’s actually useless 😭
  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.
  18. [R48] Brain Who? Tricky Riddle Tests 3/5 · US Interesting game but: I paid for no ads and still have ads!!!
  19. [R58] Brain Who? Tricky Riddle Tests 1/5 · US Money grab/ ad campaign: To many ads after every level. Sometimes 2-3. Then it pops up to pay for vip or ad free. Pay for add free ads still pop up trash game.
  20. [R29] Brain Who? Tricky Riddle Tests 5/5 · GB Fun and challenging: It takes me around ten minutes to finish a level and I like that xxx
