I've heard of this game before while scrolling through social world lists, but I haven't played it before. Until today, that is.
Once you have signed up, you create your secret builder. You get a choice of hairstyles, eyes, tops, trousers, costumes, glasses, hats, and a lot more to customise yourself - and you can customise the colour of each. I decided to make my secret builder male, then gave him 'zombie eyes' and blue skin. Oops.
Once in-game, you are given the choice between two activities, but you are also told to go to your home so I went there instead. Once in your room, you are told to decorate it - which is weird because once you press 'Decorate' it doesn't actually tell you to do anything else. (shrugs) I went up to my bedroom to decorate, and found out that the only item I have in my storage is a cheese pizza. Oh well, that's all you need in a bedroom anyway.

Okay, I got distracted while doing this yesterday so i'm continuing once I log back into the game. There are 7 servers, most have 2 out of 6 circles full (showing population in that server), but one has over 4 out of 6 full so I guess this game does have quite a few players, seeming that they have multiple servers. Each time you move to a new room, there's quite a lengthy loading screen which may be offputting to some users.
What I remember from playing this game yesterday - that I have been reminded of today, is that there are so many ingame popups which are very irritating. Literally everything you do comes with random popups out of nowhere. I was browsing the clothing shop and because of a random popup, I ended up buying a Brazil hat by accident. Great. After I left the shop, I was still wearing the hipster outfit I was trying on, even though I didn't buy it. Weird. (shrugs)
I've noticed that there's no gender lock on the clothing on this game, so boys can have long hair and wear dresses and such. Perfect for Mihile, haha. I decided to make the most of this and buy a dress. On your character card / profile, you can update your status - basically your mood. Of course them from a list, so I went with "Mihile is a drama queen.". Fits perfectly.

There are a few games to play in SecretBuilders, and there are contests and quests to be getting on with. There's also a newspaper where users can submit their own stories which is pretty interesting.
Anyway. The game just completely crashed so this is where the review ends. Overall the game is pretty cute, the customisation is quite nice and there are quite a few things to be getting on with. There's also quite a bit of a player base behind the game so that shows that they're doing atleast something right to keep their users on the game.
It's not exactly the type of thing for me, maybe it's something I would have liked a decade ago but not something i'd be spending time on now.
