HOW SURE ARE WE
Not in any grossing chart, so this comes from ratings growth (65 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.

Worth the money1%

2 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ Ads are extremely frequent and annoying, but the cost of opting out is reasonable and well worth it.
★★★★★ Had to pay for ads to be removed, it said rewards would be ad free, all it removed were the forced every minute or so ads.

★★★★★Oct 17, 2026

Game has no sound. ads are annoying.

★★★★★Oct 16, 2026

most money hungry game I have ever installed. paid for no ads but I'm still getting ads. I don't mind watching an occasional ad but you have to close several times before it goes away. to upgrade anything you need gems but the only real way to get a decent amount of them to do anything is to spend real money. I already spent $5 for no ads. they will not see another cent. will probably be requesting a refund and uninstalling the game. needs a worker dedicated to the museum area. a ton of ads.

★★★★★Oct 14, 2026

The ADS have been somewhat fixed in this game. However, what they broke in this game. It's the g****** sound. I'm sorry. But did somebody forget to upload the sound for this game? Because, as of october twenty twenty six, this game is completely sound free.Did the developers screw up again

★★★★★Oct 9, 2026

the game is fine... great.🤩 I was just wanting to complain about something and actually really understand why developer's do this.🧐 WHY DO ALMOST ALL GAMES SHOW THINGS AND GRAPHICS THAT ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY DO NOT EVEN EXIST ON SAID GAME ¿🥺😬 THERE'S MORE BUT I'LL SAVE THAT FOR ANOTHER DAY. and no I wasn't mad 😡or YELLING 😱just making sure it was visible to the vision impaired 😦🙄LOL¡!¡ nah... I'm just a sarcastic so 🤬 & so 🤬 GREAT GAME!!!

★★★★★Sep 26, 2026

cool 😎

★★★★★Sep 25, 2026
