The Academy: The First Riddle Wiki

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.

I had such a hard time putting this game down. The puzzles were so sharp and the storyline had me on the edge of my seat. I just finished it after about a week of playing it nonstop, and all I can think about is how badly I want a sequel.

It's a pretty well-made game! Graphically it's nice, there's a lot to see and do, the world is "believable". The developers have put in so much effort into creating this world and it's history; it's really impressive. Can't wait for the next chapters! I do wonder if everything can be completed within these three chapters, or if you need to wait until the sequel. I have exactly one thing missing from every collectable.

My rating went up 1 star due to them fixing multiple issues. However, now the Daily Book right next to the Archaeology classroom won’t let me pick it up.

I don’t know why you need to make players buy the next chapters because I love the game but your making me buy the next chapters and it’s not fair for players who don’t have enough money to purchase the next chapters. And the second thing is if your going to do that then maybe make the chapters much longer than they cause then maybe you would get more players to play. Other than that it’s a great game and it would be five stars if it wasn’t for having to buy the next chapters.

I like the concept of this game, it feels different and I enjoy the type of puzzles this game has. Unfortunately, I’m in the earthquake level and I’m stuck in my room because there’s no door! It directs me to go into the bathroom, but then it just directs me back to the bedroom. I can’t exit either way. After two updates, the issue still isn’t resolved. And of course it happens right after I pay for the full game. This needs to get fixed ASAP or I’ll be needing my money back.

The first chapter is very short, I wish you had more freedom to explore the school, especially at night. You also have to pay for the other chapters, which is also weird. Overall this game has good potential but should be free, at least the chapters. I enjoyed playing this game for the first 5 minutes, then I finished the chapter. Overall, I recommend this game, if your willing to pay 5 dollars every time you get a new chapter.

Hi it is me funstar😂 but I REALLY WANT TO PLAY THIS I GAME I do, but u have to PAY FOR THEM and I really don’t like that and I wish u could design your own character and use accessories PLS PLS add that and PLEASE make it free I wanted to play the next chapter but it cost money 💴 so i knew that I couldn’t play cause my mom didn’t let me PLEASE TAKE MAKE IT FREE PLSSS I see that lots of people agree so pls do EVERYONE who is a fan of Harry Potter including me and make the chapters free THANK U SOOOOOOO MUCH IF U DO THIS I WOULD PLAY ALL DAY PEACE ✌🏼

The graphics and puzzles on this game are great! But it is very annoying that you have to pay for anything after chapter 1 especially since chapter 1 is not very long. I really wish that you were able to customize and change the gender of your character, should make the game a lot more specific to you and more fun. Overall it’s ok.

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.

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.

I really wanted to give this a try but find it difficult to play games without an inverted axis. The camera placement is uncomfortable as well. After spinning in circles and talking to poor George ad nauseam, I finally made it through the main doors. Made me kinda dizzy! I can’t say anything about the puzzles as I didn’t play any, but the graphics look nice and crisp. I love Snapbreak games and have them all, but not sure about this one. Without the inversion option and maybe another for the camera placement, this is a no-go for me.

Feels like a beta version of what might be a great game one day. I’m constantly losing progress and having to repeat puzzles. After a crash, the game started me up in a roped off area and I’m stuck. So, it’s an uninstall for now. Can’t see myself paying $6 per level to continue testing this game. One other note... the controls felt backwards to me. I wanted iPhone’s “natural” panning, but couldn’t find any option to swap the axis.

If you are reading this review the game is AWFUL! First of all it’s really hard to move and view at the same time. Two the puzzles make no sense and when you finally get the answer they don’t explain how it is that way well. AND THIRD!! YOU EXPECT US TO PAY FOR THE REST OF THE CHAPTERS!!! I understand that you need to make money but come on. That’s not worth it. If you want to make money make people pay for a no ad thing. It worked when I got super annoyed at ads once! This isn’t a high quality game at all I thought it would be much better! Very disappointed
