GET THIS GAME IT WILL NOT DISAPPOINT
So I've had this game since I was a literal toddler/child and it is AMAZING. No ads, cute characters, entertaining, and just GREAT. I loved this game since I was little and still do <3
Unplayable
Constant pop up ads make the game unplayable.

Relaxing game, sometimes stressful but fun lol
Can’t play because of ads
I have an ad pop up every 5 seconds. I leave one window, ad. I click on something, ad. I exit out of thing I clicked on, ad. I literally can’t play this game, way too many ads.
I love it but
I had it a few years ago and it was connected to the internet, I kinda miss that they also removed a bunch of things u could buy with stars and I miss them so much, u can’t even buy gems anymore, I wish I could do that again, but I love it
Won’t let me connect to the Internet
When I first downloaded the game, I had the option to click the super to buy gems and coins, more I don’t have that option. I also had the option to use star power for resources. I need more lyrastones to upgrade my classes but I have no way of getting them. Please fix! I need the

I really like this game but when I joined one day all my progress restarted.I’m not sure if I was supposed the save it or something but I do know my progress was deleted.Please tell me: bug or I did something wrong. Thanks for reading.
Cutest Game
This game has such cute animation & very relaxing to play. I love it so much & the updates are gorgeous. Please never give up on this game.
⚠️WARNING⚠️ Do not download!! 🚫
This game resetted my progress when k restarted it
It’s good
It’s good nothing else (maybe to many tutorials) anyway like I said it’s good Something to keep running in the background and check up on it sometimes so 4 stars not amazing just good and maybe there’s to many in-game purchases- but oh well that’s the end of this review!
Too many ads
The game is good, but there are too many ads. I didn't click to watch the video at all. Just press to create different rooms. Even in the bedroom, ads appear. It makes the game look annoying. Please fix it. 😑😏 Annoying advertisements, don't know what's going on. Stop having ads pop up too often. Good game, only bad thing. Boring advertisements
Constant ads
First of all, the game is so awesomely cute as expected because I am a fan of hotel story and happy mall story. But why do ads constantly appear after every click of game interactions. That’s so annoying.
Better than ever
I had uninstalled it several years ago because of how broken the ads were (forced ad would pop up every click, literally unplayable), but miraculously it underwent an update a few months back and now there are no ads at all! It’s a very relaxing game, and I love the events that happen every other week or so. It’s an adorable game, and I really enjoyed it back then and I’d always been thinking about how cute the gameplay was so I’m glad to see the developers made it a proper game.
too many ads :(
i loved the style of these games and the functions are alright. there are so many ads when you’re outside of the mini game screen that you can barely move the screen for two seconds without getting an ad.
Pop Ups
Extremely fun and addictive game, but the pop-ups are very annoying. It happens every time I click on something. Please fix it ASAP! Thank you!
โฆษณาเยอะมาก แอคเก่าหาย
โฆษณามาแบบวิต่อวิ กดสองทีขึ้นที กะจะไม่ให้เล่นเลยรึเปล่าคะ แต่เกมดีมากๆ น่ารักเข้าใจง่าย เคยเล่นทีนึงแล้วลบไป แต่โหลดกลับมาก็บอกว่าไม่พบข้อมูลทั้งที่เคยผูกบัญชีไว้
game is fun but too much ads!!!
Can you just open an option to pay to block ads?
Great Update
Very nice, but I miss online play
restore account with OTP
cute and addictive but disappointed as i have spent 4 hours in the game and unable to retrieve back my account after closing the game.
A small problem
I would give this a five star, bc I played happy mall story and fell in love with these games, the only problem I have and that I hope they fix is that when I take a picture and want to share the app won’t let me share at ALL and I want to share and get more coins… otherwise great game!
โฆษณา
โฆษณาเยอะจนเกมไม่ได้เล่นค่ะ เสียอารมณ์มากเลย เกมน่าเล่น แต่โฆษณาเยอะไปหน่อย 🙄🙄🙄
Bực mình
Chơi game khá vui nhưng thật sự bực mình khi vào game chơi nhưng chơi chưa được 1 phút lại quảng cáo.. nên khắc phục lại thời gian quảng cáo vì nó làm gián đoạn trò chơi và khiến tâm trạng khá bực bội và khó chịu
LUVSIT
i have downloaded this game a million times n every time i get rid of it then get it again i fall back in love with it. It’s everything i could ever want in a game and the fan made new buildings and classrooms were such a fun way to add something new to it and not just all the same stuff‼️‼️🍬🍬
Cute game but the ads are ridiculous!
It seems like every two seconds, I’m getting ads now when I didn’t before. True, the ads don’t last long and you can close them as quickly as they pop up but it’s still annoying. And there’s no option to turn them off, not even a pay option, at least, none that I could find. Edited (06-24-2021): The ads happen every time you interact with anything! Collect your coins? Here comes an ad! Edit your layout? Ad! Collect from the resource mine or from the adventure? You guessed it! Ads! It’s gotten over the top now. I’ve reduced my rating from three to two stars now, it’s gotten so bad! Edited (06-26-2021): ENOUGH WITH THE ADS!!! I’d rate this -5 stars if I could! Every time you tap something, here come the ads! They’re annoying when you’re trying to build, collect or upgrade! I’m about ready to uninstall this ad-heavy game! It wasn’t like this when I first started playing. What the heck happened? Stop it already! Edited (10-13-2021): Still ad-heavy. Noticed there hasn’t been an update in a year. Have they forgotten about this game?
Love it but...
I loved playing this game but there’s some kind of problem it doesn’t save data please fix this glitch! 😭😭😭
โฆษณาเยอะเกินไป

My account is glitched, and when I am back I lost all of my result,
This game is good, but after 20 minute of playing I try to save the account then it just crashed. And when I open the app again, I lost all of my result. I did top up and get the monthly, and it just so frustrating for me to lose my money. I couldn’t even get my refund as the money still pending on my account, And when I’m back and go and try to play from the start, I keep having a pop up for the ads each time I do something. It’s really frustrating. Update: I thought by buying a purchase will get rid of the constant pop up for the ads!! No it’s not.
NEW UPDATE
I love playing this game but I usually take breaks from it, imagine my surprise when I come back to a cute little update!! This is great news :0
Ads literally 3 seconds apart
It's very cute, I love the game. But there's literally so. Many. Ads. I counted and an ad came up 3 seconds after another. It's becoming impossible to play. Everytime I counted it was never over 20 seconds. I'm thinking about uninstalling the app. Please make less ads. It's ridiculous
cute game + passive
cute design and i like that you can passive lying collect the coins! would be nice if there were things to help for the minigrame 😞 i got stuck on a level for almost a week which was very frustrating
Is there an ad free version
I love this game and its goals i think its amazing but what i hate is that there is an ad immediately after everything i do and i dont mind paying for an ad free version but this game would be perfect if it wasn't for those annoying pop up ads.
Good game, but too many ads even after buying something
It’s a nice little game in the genre, but an ad pops up about every 4th or 5th time I click on anything or exit a menu. It’s just a 2 second ad that you manually have to close out of, but it really interrupts my flow of thought, as I go into menus often to see what’s available and to figure out what to do next. Sometimes they pop up 2 or 3 times in a row and it is very frustrating. This happens even after I bought the starter pack. I am not getting the zen I’m seeking in a game, and unfortunately may stop playing just for this reason. As a user who is prone to buying things, I don’t think the pennies they gain from ads are a good trade off for the dollars I may have continued to spend.
An Update???
I can’t believe this game actually updated for the first time in 3 years and already the changes seem positive! No currency for real money and the special resources also becoming floating bonuses?? Fantastic! Thank you!
Login and progress restarted
I started playing this game around 1 pm yesterday and when I reopened the app I had to secure my account, log back in and start from the tutorial. I’ve already been playing the game for a few hours or more and don’t understand why I had to repeat in order to play the game. I will be uninstalling the game if it happens again and won’t be playing anymore until the problem is fixed.
Very cute game!
This is one of the cutest games I've played! It is a slow start on making your mini school, but it gets better once you get it rolling. You can see each character/student doing their mini task throughout the day, whether that'd be taking a bath, eating, working out, going to class, SLEEPING. Only downside is that it does get repetitive and I have already finished all of the levels for the game in the app. I only play it over to get coins quickly. You can visit other players world's, but I wish it was more interactive.
Ads are very annoying
It is a great game but the ads are appearing almost all the time when you tap onto something. Even when you spend some cash on the game. The ads didn’t stop. Such a waste. Gonna move on to another game if this doesn’t get resolved.
Nice concept, mired by ads
I played this game for a few days. The concept of running your own magic school is very charming. I enjoy how this is very much like a Kairosoft game mixed with your typical match-three puzzle game. It keeps things from getting boring. However the game comes to a complete stop when you realize how bad the ads are. Of course there are your typical speed up and get more items ads. That I can tolerate. Yet, bafflingly, this game has a “unique” feature of throw ads in randomly during regular gameplay. It brings things to a complete stop and I have to wait for the ad to completely move across the screen before I can close it and continue working on my magic school. This became so frequent I couldn’t perform any actions without being interrupted by an ad. For me, this is a deal breaker and caused me to delete the app from my library. It would be far more enjoyable if the ads were left to the optional viewing material, and not popping up every five seconds between gameplay.
Suggestion to revert saves
I would like to save back both Google and Facebook button please.
Restarts my game when I close the app
Doesn’t let me log back into it when I put in my email
Add me
Hey guys I love this game and I’m on everyday ! Add me APQVFS9
Ads
Way to many ads could of had more stars but I couldn't enjoy the game cause I didn't want to click anything cause ads pop up every time. But I understand you have to get paid.
Love it, but the ads
I will absolutely come back and edit this to 5 stars if the ad problem gets fixed. I actually started playing this game a few years ago and loved it, but it eventually fell off my radar. I’d love to get back into playing it, but the amount and frequency of the ads is infuriating. This definitely didn’t happen when I played before, so please fix whatever update caused this. Even if it’s a ‘no ads’ purchase for a dollar or two, I’d say it’s definitely worth it over the insanity of the ads.
Has some bugs but good
First the spin wheel. It keeps saying there are no ads right now, so i can’t get any of the special prizes! Second, the students are a little buggy. THEY TAKE FOREVER TO GET TO SLEEP! Somtimes they don’t relise it is bedtime. If you are reading this, this game is awesome. I am just telling about the bugs.
New here
Add me pls. Sg player!!! APXG4YG
Too expensive
I like it and all but buying new students is way to expensive
Login/Restore account
I received the email for the OTP and keyed in the numbers, but they did not restore my acc. Please fix this bug it is a really nice game.
I want my stuff back.
Great game and I started the playing. When I left the game to get more coins I came back to start a new game. I want my school back I worked so hard on. But everything else about this game is great!
