Review summary

Explorer is a trivia game praised for its educational and engaging trivia questions and mini-games, offering a single-player experience unlike Trivia Crack. However, users widely complain about excessive and intrusive ads after every level and for multiple game functions, making it frustrating to play. The app is also criticized for high ad removal costs and persistent glitches causing the game to freeze, especially at later levels. Many players are stuck due to lack of new content or ways to replay, and sound settings fail to mute all audio. Overall, the game has potential but is marred by monetization and technical issues.

Offers a single-player trivia experience, unlike the original multiplayer Trivia Crack.

Cons

Excessive and intrusive ads after every level and during multiple game events, making gameplay frustrating.
High cost for removing ads, with permanent removal priced around $10 and weekly subscriptions also expensive.
Game freezes and glitches, especially at higher levels or when trying to continue, hindering progression.
Limited content progression; many users have reached the final level with no new content or ways to replay levels.
Sound and vibration settings do not properly mute all game sounds, especially ads and spinning wheel sounds.

2024-01-03	Fe*****	Way, way too many ads. There's an energy system, mandatory ads after every level, optional ads for chests and rewards, optional ads to spin a wheel, optional ads for daily rewards. The game itself is alright, but not worth all the ads. Removing ads costs $10, which the game is also not worth in my opinion. I won't be playing this game past what I've played it to by this point unless they majorly overhaul the ad system.

2022-07-21	An*****	Got this game because I liked Trivia Crack Adventure, but I don't like the pressure of playing/waiting for a challenge partner and this used to essentially be a single-player version of that. However, they've completely changed it and now it's garbage. This "bamboo path" forces you into categories and to use the panda to fix broken tiles, but it doesn't advance you when it fixes it, so you could be stuck in the same place with the same category until you get it right. Hate it.
