Redecor - Home Design Game

Enjoyable game… I like the creative aspects of the game; the less money you spend to play, the more creative you have to be to do well; as a retired/senior player, I don’t spend a lot to play. It’s a fun game overall but the design judging is very often inconsistent; as we all know, taste is subjective. I’m not talking about personal expectations to win either; player’s can see ( and compare against) the other designs in competition in the live play portion of the game.There are no categories for player’s varied styles and/or personal tastes, or for those who aren’t blessed with innate style. Or when a certain style decor is specified, many ignore the requirements but are judged to have better designs than those who adhere to the requested criteria, only to find the effort wasted; not every international style can be done in only beige and white. Why impose criteria if it won’t be considered in judging? At these (or other frustrating) times, I smile, accept all the aforementioned as a part of the process, and enjoy the game for the personal satisfaction, personal design growth, and fun for fun’s sake that it is, because it is entertaining and fun.

STOP LOGGING ME OUT UX/UI needs work. Sometimes the app requires login, sometimes does not after restarting. Even sometimes logging in doesn’t even save entire progress either, you gotta start from beginning, until the app decides to work correctly again without asking to log in with your old progress still set. FIX THIS.

Love this I love this game so much. It is so funny and you guys should really check it out. You can do all design really cool things and seeing what all you can decorate and do.

Good and bad The Good: The game has good graphics, good room layouts, good materials. Some of the materials are priced way too high, especially some of the white items. The bad, their rating system is flawed, and the rooms that win are the rooms that are mostly white, So basically, it’s become a contest of who can create the best white room. Boring. Been playing for a couple years but play way less now that it’s devolved into the white room contest.

Expensive Too expensive to play much. Items cost a lot to buy and you don’t make enough per design to pay for the next one unless you spend real cash. Not much fun anymore. Unless you are vanilla, your design will seldomly win.

Good Good

Boring and frustrating Beige…is what rules here. This app has nothing to do with good design. The entire endeavor is a frustration of creativity to get you to buy. You can already have earned thousands of items in your inventory, but you can’t access them. Instead, you’re limited to the ugliest, mismatched “preselected items” as per insipid bougie themes (like The Country Club and you’re supposed to dress dogs…yes, dogs wearing Chanel scarves…eyeroll). There are “levels” you can buy into, cartoonish coloring book level pages of “fashion plates” with 2-d Barbie-like images with Revlon corporate branded cosmetic promos (eyeroll) you can color them in with. Honestly no better than old school coloring books with “preselected” colors that usually have no design relationship to the instructions or each other. Each coloring page/design template is governed by “brief/stories” aka instructions no one pays attention to, most promoting the top 1% of the global monetary acquisition demographic. The scene graphics (including those you pay for) are repeats regardless of the current theme so there’s really nothing new happening here except frustrating your creativity so you spend real $$ to get inventory that matches, or you create the ugliest mess because you don’t spend $$ and can’t access your earned inventory laying waste in the locked cloud storage to create something really beautiful. You can play for free but the only way is through a disjointed “voting” system in which other players rate your efforts (with no guidance about the initial instructions you were required to follow), most of whom could care less about what they’re voting on beyond the free points they get, so it’s more like random scrolling to get to the points than decorating aptitude or good taste. This app isn’t about good design, creative growth, or even following the directions for each assignment. It’s just an increasingly garish cash grab.

Entertaining but Expensive to Play It’s hard to be able to actually play for more than a couple days without debating spending more money or just collecting the small amount you get every six hours. I’ve spent $20 on coins getting 1st places and you just can’t get back the coins because doing the journal pages eats up coins and you notice that ugly mismatching journal designs are getting three hearts. This is the last game I have on my phone but I’m sure one of these days I’ll be deleting this one too.

Great mobile game! I have been playing this game for years and I love it. It is not overly pay-to-win; I have never made any purchases and I am still able to consistently make in-game money and win challenges. It does not have any ads unless you watch an ad for a reward.
