The X – Scavenger Hunt Weekly

The X is a great app that challenges your brain by throwing puzzles at you. The fun part is you have to figure out how to solve each one on your own with almost no instructions provided. It’s a cool little brain teaser that tests your creativity. [The game is 1 set of 5 puzzles each week] The app does require you to travel to a real-life location (usually not that far by motor vehicle) to officially complete/win a game, but that feature is what I think puts this app over the top. Going to visit new places while also getting the feeling that you’re “so close” to beating the game really gives an exciting feel to it. [If you win a cash prize, payment is processed before the next game starts the following week] I’ll be sure to come back when a new puzzle’s live and I hope to see some more people playing this game. Update Nov. 21st, 2018: Their player support is also really good. Responds in a timely matter and provides the help/services needed! Update Nov. 9th, 2019: About a year later and this game is still going strong! New puzzles are being created and more players are joining the action. The prize pool is growing and there’s more to be won! More updates in [brackets]

This game is honestly amazing. Every week I can look forward to having fun solving Tempe difficult puzzles, feeling the rush of excitement when you solve one, and the extra kick of the prize money at the end. If you’re fast you can get quite a bit of cash, but even if you’re not you can still get quite a bit after a couple weeks. They have great communication with the players so if you’re stuck, they can help you out. If you’re considering getting this, JUST DO IT ALREADY AND GET PLAYING!!

This is the first time I’ve written a review, but this game is clearly worthy of it. My all time favorite app, it challenges you with very difficult puzzles that get progressively harder as you go until you get to the final puzzle. I’m still in high-school but I’ve lost some hair trying to figure out those final riddles. I would give this game a 10/5 and anyone out there who wants a challenge should download this app.

This game is addicting fun and stressful. My family and I (5 total) enjoyed playing to earn some extra cash. Most we won individually was $10. The rules state there are no rules. So we worked together to solve the puzzles and we’d drive to the destination, take our photos, and use the same PayPal account. Some weeks not all of us could make the drive so my son, or other kids, would take all phones to collect our prizes. The last time we played we didn’t get credit because they said it was cheating. Each player had to be present. We all stopped playing. Either there are rules, or there aren’t.

Situation: You’re in the middle of a busy Saturday. At 1:30EST, you get your notification- The X is starting in 30 minutes. Everything else stops. You have to make sure that you’re ready to play. Part escape room, part online scavenger hunt, part real word race. You need a bit of luck and a lot of brains to figure out these puzzles. This is a must download.
