Fun game, but… – One Clue Crossword Review

The game itself is pretty fun. It’s often tricky enough that you really need to think but rarely so tricky that it’s a stretch to consider the answers as part of the picture. The reason for the 3 stars? The insanity of the ads. They’re sometimes 40-60 seconds long (and never shorter than 30-40 seconds long), requiring multiple steps by the player to get through them (clicking the “x” or “done” to progress to the next part of the ad). And it’s a fairly common occurrence that you sit through the ad only for the prize to not get doubled, which is why I decide to watch the ads in the first place. That’s frustrating enough that it deserves losing more than 1 star (maybe not deserving of losing 2, but that’s my only option if I’m deducting more than 1). If the ads were significantly shorter and the prize doesn’t double like it should, I’d have settled for taking only 1 star, but them being that long AND not getting doubled deserves losing more than 1 star. If you’re not annoyed at stuff like that the way I am, you’d probably rate it 4 or 5 stars. It’s worth playing to find out.
