Bugs Found in Venue: Relaxing Design Game for iOS
Venue: Relaxing Design Game is exactly what the name implies. It is a wonderfully relaxing game with beautiful graphics that provides players with an outlet for their creativity. The multitude of design options allows you to create your dream spaces in any style. No timers, counters, or other factors add stress to your interior decorator’s journey. As a result, players can relax and enjoy playing at their own pace.
We tested Venue: Relaxing Design Game during a regular bug crawl, and our team did enjoy themselves while playing. However, we found a few bugs that could detract from the overall relaxing experience. We share these findings in the report below.
User is able to delete account that has not been registered or linked to any authentication method
Severity:
Major
Precondition:
- The user launched the game without registering or linking the account to any available authentication method.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Launch the game.
- Continue using the game as a guest/non-registered user.
- Navigate to the ‘Account/Settings’ section.
- Select the account deletion option.
- Confirm the deletion if prompted.
Environment:
OS: iOS 18.4.1
Device: iPhone 12
Actual Result:
The application allows the user to initiate and complete the account deletion flow even though no registered or linked account exists.
Expected Result:
The account deletion option should not be available for a non-registered guest account, or the application should clearly explain what local/guest data will be deleted instead of presenting it as registered account deletion.
Incorrect server error is displayed instead of network connectivity message when device is offline
Severity:
Major
Precondition:
- The application is installed and can be launched normally.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Enable Airplane Mode on the device.
- Launch or continue using the game.
- Perform an action that requires an internet connection.
- Observe the displayed error message.
Environment:
OS: iOS 18.4.1
Device: iPhone 12
Actual Result:
The application displays a generic/server-related error even though the actual cause is no internet connection. The application provides no clear indication that the device is offline.
Expected Result:
The application should correctly detect the lack of network connectivity and display a clear, user-friendly message such as ‘No Internet Connection’, with an appropriate retry option if applicable.
Fabric preview images fail to load in design selection interface
Severity:
Minor
Precondition:
- The user has access to a design/customization screen containing fabric options.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Launch the game.
- Navigate to a design/customization step with fabric selection.
- Open the list of available fabrics.
- Observe the fabric preview images.
Environment:
OS: iOS 18.4.1
Device: iPhone 12
Actual Result:
Some fabric images are not loaded, and their previews are displayed as missing/blank content.
Expected Result:
All available fabric options should display their corresponding preview images correctly.
The most notable issues I identified when testing the game are the ability to delete an account without registering and misleading offline error handling. I recommend improving guest account handling, introducing more accurate network-state error messages, and verifying asset loading across the design/customization flow.
