Weird extra How to know what is causing a weird lock screen with ads to show up?

screenshot of the weird additional lock screenIMG:

I have a Samsung galaxyGalaxy J7 that just started displaying this as the lock screen. Sometimes, it displays my regular lock screen, but if I let my phone sit long enough, it will display this screen. It ALWAYSalways pops up, not just when my phone is charging. 

I don't know what it is, and the other questions I've found have suggested apps could be the culprit, but I don't have any of the problematic apps. I just want this thing gone, as it blocks my notifications. Thanks in advance.

UPDATE: It seems to have been caused by the game Cube Escape: The Lake. I deleted the app and so far so good.
