Adventure Escape: Framed for Android
Overall I enjoyed this and it was more of a challenge than some of the recent games I've tried in this series. Unlike one of the other users, I don't find saving at the end of a chapter much of an issue. My only complaint on this one was the mirror puzzle which really does need more save points... in the end I used starts to skip it.
The game was okay, challenging. And then it quit. I got to the part where you fit several filters into a machine to sort out various substances that mixed with the blood at the scene of the crime...and nothing. The whole thing froze. So I exited the game and went back in - just to get the same results. Okay, so I clear the cache, make sure no extraneous apps are running, reboot, yadda yadda, and just get the same results.
Love it so far but wish you could somehow get hint stars within the game, for example, I don't care about achievements, give me hint stars instead or better yet, why does it take more than one star to use a hint? It'll say I have 5 stats but won't let me use it, I have to watch a video to be able to use it
Well the game is good, challenging. Unfortunately every time I go half way next level and have to pause it goes back to the beginning. It is very annoying!! I may well uninstall this game as going through any further level over and over again has no point for me. Shame as the game is quite good.
i love all Haiku games. recently downloaded one randomly, and ive been downloading all your escape games since... im almost finished with all in just 2 days. they are very well written, stories are interesting, the puzzles? oh man, they are tough but they make you use your brain and i love that.. some puzzles are just a but confusing, but over all, amazing. 5stars to all your escape games!!!
So it's a scam for money. If you want to skip a puzzle that may be challenging it will cost you 30 stars. Don't have stars, BUY them. I refused and spent 30 min trying to figure out a puzzle. Finally solved the puzzle, but guess where I was when I opened up the game. Back at the start of the puzzle. SERIOUSLY! DELETE.
The right balance of difficulty. Good story. Broken down nicely into chapters of a manageable portion of the overall game. Ads are reasonable ... Not overbearing, and don't forget that devs need to be compensated somehow. One gripe.. this game does not turn off sound properly even when set to off. Other games by same Dev do.
Downloaded this app for my daughter called murder mansion and started working on some of the puzzles with her and then downloaded it myself . I wish they were longer though. We finished it and proceeded to this one, I haven't completed this one but we started with murder mansion and completed it within a few hours. These games are addicting but fun.
Amazing. Other mystery games I play have to be fully paid for and aren't even that good. This game series is FREE AND the puzzles are awesome! I'd stay up all night just to see how the story goes with the puzzles
Great story line.... Different. Relaxing. BUT every time you leave the game, when you come back, IT START ALL OVER AGAIN!! That's why I rated a low score. I love the game but please tell me how to pause or fix it
Great game but Hints an issue!! The game doesn't track how far into the task you've actually reached to take you to the exact hint. It takes a bunch of stars to reveal something already known and in the end when you run out of stars you still don't get a proper hint to proceed with. Only complaint is with the hint. Rest all is completely justified against!!
I loved the game, however I had to uninstall because Caesar's box didn't want to open... I checked it and I'm sure I did everything right. Tried to play the level twice but same thing happened. Well, now I'll install it again and see what will happen. BTW, I'm playing it on Android tab, anyone had the same experience? Update: it was a bug, after reinstall everything worked well! Great game!
Another Haiku game that puts you in shoes of a detective. The game focuses on solving crime using the mechanics of other Haiku games. Puzzles putting your brain to work and most of them making you think outside the box and relate to environment and objects to solve those puzzles.
This game is filled with lots of different challenges which is very refreshing. It's not the typical hidden objects game. You actually get to solve real puzzles. Some of them even have you pulling your hair out.
Love it! Puzzles are engaging without being so difficult you want to give up. I've actually already solved the game a few months ago but enjoyed it so much I started over. Can't wait for Haiku to develop more games. Already solved them all at least once.
Really enjoyed the game. Some of the puzzles were a bit confusing but once figured out was no biggie. I do wish stars were easier to come by. Great story line, good graphics, fun game!!
I'm sick of not saving game. So every time I have to start level over and over again. Would give more stars if not that. I will rate higher if you gonna fix it.
Love this game. Clues not too easy, but not impossible. Only issue was there was a glitch in one of the challenges, and the game kept freezing and I had to close the game and lost my progress. Had to use stars to skip it and get past it.
Good storyline. A good level of challenge. Had difficulty with a couple things so far. Had to waste "energy stars" to get hints (things which I ALREADY knew! So the hints weren't helpful!) and some things WOULDN'T WORK (pouring the water into the coffeemaker until I used stars! ) I like the games by these developers. They are really fun.
It is definitely a challenging game. The last puzzle is Damn near impossible. I have up and went on to the nest one out of shear frustration.
Cool game. The only thing I don't like... Getting a clue when I'VE already figured out the clue. Please, get a CLUE... give a clue that's needed
Love that all the inventory you find, is used in 1 room. The room won't let you leave to look elsewhere. I love this, I hate when I have to find inventory in five or more places! Puzzles not too hard but make you think a little. This is only chapter 1.
For most of the game, the puzzles are fine. However, without spoilers, towards the end they present you with puzzles where the logic isn't the difficult part, and instead you get slow, frustrating controls. I knew the solution already, but implementing the correct answer was so cumbersome that I preferred to uninstall the game rather than complete it.
The main problem I've had with these games is that I CANNOT put my damn phone down until I've finished the entire thing. Which is what I did with this one lol. So make sure you have a spare hour or so before you download this. Its that good.
Update: got a new Galaxy J3 and was finally able to complete this game and another. Great entertainment for sure. Haiku games are the best. Bummer this one crashed. First time I've ever encountered it with a Haiku game. I tried reinstall, but it keeps crashing. Very sad I won't be able to finish it.
Very challenging but I like it. Certain things u have to pay close attention to figure out. I'm always up for challenges.
2nd one of these I've played. I love em. This one was more difficult. Not a lot of clues to help figure out how to solve puzzles. Solved some by chance and had no idea what I actually did lol
The game is fun. But it would be nice if you got more stars or more ways to get stars. Not willing to spend money on a game. Give more stars and I'll give more stars! Why does it start you over?! Bummer
Frustrating 4 Star Loved it until the "puzzle" of the wrist ropes. Made it to the first "checkpoint" & hand got tired. It didn't "save" the CP. Gave up. Other than that, cool game.
I'm a fan of Haiku games. But right now I give 3* because the graphic often went blank (black square) somewhere. Have to exit and start again to get rid of the blank. I'm stuck on the puzzle that ask me to purify the evidences before I can test DNA it. The whole puzzle screen is blank. Restart the game to get rid of the blank doesn't work. I'm stuck! :(
I enjoyed playing this game. I got a bit frustrated trying to figure out how to gather clues and to manipulate controls so that I could move to the next part of the chapters... but I figured it out... otherwise I really like this game.
Enjoying this Haiku game so far. Challenging but not so difficult I want to quit. Only completed one chapter so far but going in to the next right after I wrire this review. Hoping my first completed chapter is saved after I stop playing otherwise I won't be starting all over again. Like what happens in many of the other similar games.
It's a great game! Good mix of difficulty levels - would have gave 5 stars if there was some other way to skip puzzles if they are too hard, right now I am stuck on level 9 and I refuse to pay money just to get enough stars to skip a challange!
Another winner. Spoke too soon. Can't get the square ruler in the box. Common glitch it seems judging by many other comments. Glitch resolved eventually. Rest of game is good so far
I love Haikus adventure escape series. Usually they're a perfect balance of puzzles and item search with a difficulty level that's not so challenging that you get frustrated but not easy enough that you blow through them in a few seconds on the first try. This one,however, had more puzzles than usual and some of them were so difficult that i had to google cheats to get passed them. Their other adventure escape games have a much better balance and flow to them in my opinion. Check out Time Library for an example of their better escape games. Asylum and Murder Manor are also good ones to try. If there werent so many overly difficult puzzles this would have gotten a full 5 stars, but they still get 4 for the great storyline and clues that actually fit with the mystery.
Graphically and art wise it's not to shabby. Puzzels are not insanely hard or extremely easy there is some thinking involved but not frustrating. Definitely worthwhile installing and playing im having a lot of fun with this app you may as well! Haiku is a good app making company i enjoy playing their escape adventure games. Keep up the good work and please don't make us pay to play although i do understand yous all need to make money to pay your developer's so im sure the games you make would be worth every penny! Thanks again for the great gaming entertainment!!!!
Had a great time testing the grey cells. Some puzzles were admittedly frustrating. But there you go. It's called a puzzle.
This is a great game. It has some challenging things to find. They did a very good job keeping me entertained. You'll want to give this game a try if you like escape games.
The puzzles are very challenging at times. Too challenging in spots. Had to quit several times to just start level over.

Pretty good story so far. The puzzles range from easy to hard. Some puzzles don't give much clues to figure it out. My only major problem with the game is that it only saves when you complete a chapter. That's not a problem with the first 3 or so chapters as the puzzles aren't hard, but as they get harder, I wish it would save after completing a puzzle or let me save whenever I want. Sometimes I don't have enough time to complete a chapter, especially the later chapters where you really need to bust your brain to figure them out.
