I just bought The Crew: Mission Deep Sea, and I downloaded the helper app to accompany the game. The tutorials are clear narrations of the rulebook along with animations. The game timers and soundtracks for specific missions are a nice feature. The only thing I would improve is to add a playback speed for the tutorials. A few tutorials could have been faster, like 1.25x or 1.5x the playback speed.

We are enjoying these games. Some are better than others. We recently played the abandoned cabin, which was really great, then the Lord of the rings one, which was more difficult, despite the lower difficulty rating, with a lot of reading to do and not very intuitive steps. Regardless, we are enjoying the games. One thing is that there should not be a need to destroy the game by cutting and folding. We like to pass those on to friends. Hence, 4 rather than 5 stars

Hey Kosmos, can you rename this app to something more helpful than super generic, "Helper App"? Even just putting Kosmos at the front. I searched for Kosmos in my app drawer forever.

We thought the game was very hard to follow and some of the accessories were difficult to work with (the cube and the skull/sliding number keys). The card system was unnecessarily confusing and time consuming and required you to place the cards back in order when you were just going to have to throw the game away after playing anyway. Other escape games I've played allow for me to give it to someone else, who can play the game after we do. Excessive waste in this game, for little reward.
