What's It About?

In 100 Floors, players try to open an elevator door by tapping, swiping, shaking, and tilting their devices. Each puzzle contains a subtle clue, such as a pattern on the floor or an object near the door. Players sometimes move objects or collect tools to use later. There are no additional hints or options to make the game easier, but players who are really stumped can easily find solutions by searching online.

Our review:
Parents say ( 2 ):
Kids say ( 2 ):

100 FLOORS is an app for puzzle lovers. The game rewards players for imagination and persistence. If they don’t mind the inescapable banner ads, puzzlers will get a thrill from figuring out the trick that opens the elevator doors.

Amateurs, beware, because the difficulty ramps up quickly, with easy puzzles interspersed among more challenging ones. And players won’t find much help within the app, though there are walkthroughs online (there are also apps for it). Players expecting 100 floors will have to wait for updates in order to play beyond the 40 levels available at the time of this review.
