Played this as a friend was one of the puzzle writers for it. Really enjoyed it, a fun straight forward teaser game with some neat puzzles and nice narrative. But looking forward to a full length game now.

Great game play. All on one media webpage which was refreshing. Played with 2 households simultaneously and worked really well. We used a separate device to chat as we solved. Neat puzzles, nice hints when needed and a fun story that tied it all together. As a freebie it was on a par with some we've paid good money for. Hoping they do more. Website implies they will.

Really like this game for its flow and usability. Some good puzzles and nice story which made sense. Best of all it was self contained (no flipping tabs or devices) and we all moved through the game simultaneously. We chatted on zoom and played either on laptops or phones. Fun narrative and an intriguing teaser.

Fun game, easy to use. Some neat puzzles and easy to get hints. 3 of us played on different devices and chatted via Whatsapp as we played. Funny character.

Cute graphics. Immersive Audio. Puzzles were simple, but this was like a 'demo'. Their actual game seem to have a lot of potential, so looking forward to the release!

A fun introductory game to the world of Mr Tippleys. It was a nice chance to get used to the style of game play and for a free game it had a good range of puzzles. It’s clear that a lot of thought and effort has gone into the storyline which is very promising. Looking forward to playing the next mission!

A quick, simple, straightforward game, except for the last puzzle. Since the puzzle is online where people are from many countries, a calendar-based puzzles should contain enough information to determine whether the format is mm/dd or dd/mm. Despite using both formats, all the hints, and eventually revealing the answer, I'm still stumped as to how that answer was possible.

It was a great introduction to the series, and I can't wait to carry on, The puzzles were story led which I liked, and the use of the ditital media was wonderful, I perticully liked the cartoon host. For a free teaser, you get a good feel of the game to come, with a great selection of puzzles, which  progressed in dificulty. I will definitly be back for the next chapter.  Give it a try what have you got to loose.

A good beginner’s game with 8 puzzles.  Looks good with cartoon character intro for each puzzle, and a nice looking presentation on screen with movable items where needed for the puzzle. 

Played on a single computer so didn’t test the multiple household / screen capability the site offers. 

A good introduction “room”.
