HOW SURE ARE WE
Not in any grossing chart, so this comes from ratings growth (63 new ratings a month on average since launch): revenue grows with new ratings, more slowly for apps that collect ratings fast. Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2 times, and big earners tend to come out low. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

★★★★★ Ads start playing or you have to wait 45 minutes just to find out you have to pay to get some contract for planes.
★★★★★ It's was a decent game to kill time but it's all about the money to even progress and finish the story. Then the worst part was after spending $50 to go further I learned that it's not even fully finished and way…

★★★★★ Got 3 ads in a minute and then i get to the last part of questions and have to wait 40 minutes to keep playing, it says ad to skip but that doesn't work…just keeps giving ads.
★★★★★ You just go through a story line choosing answers which ultimately bring you to making you buy items with real money and if you don't, you fail your mission and have to start over.
★★★★★ Restarted several times thinking it was a glitch.
Lost data, sync, backup7%

7 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ You have all sorts of “decisions” to make at the beginning, but all lead to the same thing: 45 minutes of waiting OR watching FIVE ads, and then no matter your decisions, you are led to a non-decision where you either…
★★★★★ I opted to not spend after reading the reviews and have since deleted the application.
★★★★★ This app should be deleted off the store.
Wrong or poor results3%

3 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ If you get it wrong then you hit a road block and have to start all over again.
★★★★★ And then, you're only option other than starting the chapter all over again is to spend money to buy more of the fake money to progress through the story.
★★★★★ Start over, or pay to get past your wrong choices.

★★★★★ So in other words, there is NO way to play this game for more than a few minutes without spending money.

Total scam

Played the game spent some money and then it started all over i want a refund on everything i spent

★★★★★Feb 28, 2026
SCAM to take your money

The menu starts off promising, but keeps you in the main menu only because of insufficient funds. Only you buys money then you can continue. Upgrade to view what is happening on the game. Like other reviews I have just seen, subscription only. Just advertise it accordingly rather than putting in lengthy description. Why pay money for something that we can’t play understand if it worth it?

★★★★★Jul 3, 2025
All they want is for you to spend money

U wanna start your thing, pay money, you wanna keep playing the game? Pay money. 0 stars

DO NOT DOWNLOAD

i never write reviews but this game is a scam. Got 3 ads in a minute and then i get to the last part of questions and have to wait 40 minutes to keep playing, it says ad to skip but that doesn’t work…just keeps giving ads. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME

★★★★★Jun 12, 2025
Money grab - skip this one

No actual gameplay before you’re forced to spend money. Skip this one, folks!

★★★★★May 20, 2025
Greed

You can tell this game just wants your money, the devs make this a pay to play game. The first 20 minutes you’re faced with a ton of costly choices and only one route for free to play users. Don’t waste your time.
