Leave a Review Pocket Mystery
Not bad!
Love the fact that you can play a detective and actually feel like a real one solving cases and puzzles. My only issue is the ads. They pop up after every other piece of evidence that you click on is incorrect, they even pop up after you click the correct ones. It just gets annoying. I will say they've gotten better cause the ads aren't long and if they are they give you the choice to skip them. Other than that, pretty good game, keep up the great work!Show less$Money Bagz$
Fun
When your bored this gets amusing. I was coming back from Wildwood and was in the car for 3 hours and mostly played this game.
This forces you to use your brain but makes it worth the pain. Pocket Mystery helps you figure and search for things. That is helpful because of if you need help omg math or reading, like all riddles and brain teasers you are using your noggin which is important in school. It is a fun and timesaving game to do when you are not good at finding hidden things when you need it.Show lessMama Jen S
Weird inconsistencies, ads unbearable.
Unfortunately, in a game with spelling errors, ambiguous wording, straight up incorrect answers, patronizing explanations, and a requirement to solve the crimes at the pace of the writers (even if you can understand what happened before they lead you to it), the amount of ads is completely unsustainable.
Clicking something correct can still bring up an ‘incorrect’ screen with a bonus ad. You get an ad (up to 30sec) both before AND after the explanation of something you really didn’t need explained, and if you figure it out early you get punished for tapping something that turns out to be correct on the next clue... but you’ll only find that out after four more ads. I was really excited for this game, too. Such a fun idea! I really wanted to love this, but it’s just so user unfriendly :(
Ad you have to close before you press start. Ads on the bottom of the screen while you look at the crime scene. Video ad if you click the correct answer. Video ad if you click an incorrect answer. Video ad before and after the explanation. Ad if you click restart investigation. Ad if you move on to the next one. Don’t worry though, you can buy an ad free version. Shocker.Show lessughcec
Ok but Too many ads
The game is made well and sells itself as is. About 3 minutes to solve a “murder.” Fun and interesting concepts of each investigation. But after each answer you’re waiting 5-30 seconded for an Ad. Sometimes double Ads. So if you’re F2P you’re 3 minute mystery quickly turns into 5+ minutes. I completely understand the necessity of Ads for the App creator(s) but I believe this app allows a far excessive amount for the quality of the graphics and few bugs in the game. I played quite a few mysteries and it seemed to only get worse. The game doesn’t have enough behind it to warrant that amount of Ads and I will be deleting it so I can spend my time not watching so many ads.Show lessIron Doc
Too many errors , too many ads. Too bad.
The grammar and sentence structure are brutal in this game! Unfortunately, the clues are crucial and therefore the game is sometimes unplayable because of the errors...no way to guess which word(s) were omitted or included erroneously. For a game that requires precision, this is somewhat of a ridiculous mistake to make.
I agree with the majority of the other reviewers on the ads, but it’s not just that there are far too many but also that they arrive CONSTANTLY. Click a button to choose a murderer, see an ad, then click on “continue”, see an ad, then click on part of the scene that was the clue, see an ad. Stuck (because of poor grammar?), you can watch a 30-68s video ad to enable the answer. As soon as you are done with the video and you click “continue” to read what you missed, you get ANOTHER AD.
Before.
You.
See.
The.
Answer.
You know...the answer you just sat through a video to get, because the clue’s sentence structure was so poor you couldn’t understand? That video ad. And now you got another one, just because.
Great concept for a game. Horrendous execution.Show lessAm&Pete
Good game! Wish there was more.
I practically finished the entire game in two days. Though it was a fun experience to go through, I wish there was more variety in the cases, and deaths, as the affair card was used a lot, though a decent motive, there are several others that are just as interesting. I hope more levels will come out soon, and that more people continue to enjoy this game, and feel like a real life detective. Can’t wait to see where this game goes in the future.Show lessFangurling
Ok it’s a mystery game
That will almost get you 3 stars from me from jump. But the questions make me want to bash my head in. “What’s out of place here” or which car also belongs to him -what that means half the time isn’t obvious. If I see right off that the thief on the motorcycle doesn’t have the handbag so he obviously passed it off to the driver in the car and it had to be the one car because of where the drive sits, it’s not like I don’t get the scene but technically neither car is his, he’s on the motorcycle. Then it makes it look like they want car a or car b. I click one. No. I click the second one no. I think I haven’t clicked in the right space. Only after resorting to a clue did it become clear I wasn’t wrong just 4 steps ahead. Now I am looking at a question about a hotel room and what’s out of place. I figure they mean the cigarette smoking in a room where it says in a big sign that’s forbidden. The cigarette and ashtray? No. The big no smoking sign? No. Another clue later and it’s “technically” “just” the ashtray.Show lessHowaboutagame
Someone needs to fix this
This game is great and fun, but it seems that you have to watch an ad every 30 seconds. Not to mention, every time you want to use a clue—you end up having to take some sketchy survey. Nobody is going to want to play the game if they have to watch ads and take surveys every few seconds. It’s very annoying. Another point, is that all the scenarios are very bland and quite repetitive. Also, it requires very little thinking to find pieces of evidence—and as someone who loves crime and puzzles...it’s very disappointing and dissatisfying. Someone really needs to do something about these issues because I see so many other reviews who list these exact reasons too. It’s just not fun anymore.Show lessAwkwardLittlePotato
Not accurate
Lost me early in the game at the end of the mystery on the purse snatcher in the car on the last question where you pick car A or B. The “correct” answer is B - supposedly because she said there was only one person in the car that snatched her purse and he would have had to reach out the right- hand window based on her location on the street. That places the steering while on the RIGHT side of the car. This is typically a European car then as US cars have steering wheels on the left. And the vast majority of locations where the steering wheel is on the right are where you drive in the left hand lane - not the right as in the US. But you can see in the drawing that the thief’s car is driving in the right lane and NOT in the left.
For a game that is supposed to be about observation and details, this was a deal breaker for me.Show lessStevenTJones
It wasn’t giving me a half star option...
I love murder mysteries and that old “You Be The Jury” book series from back in the day, so I was ecstatic to find this game! But... the constant ads, the grammar fallacies, etc. really zap the fun out of it quickly. And yes, there’s an option to pay to get rid of ads. But that still doesn’t help when words are missing from critical questions, thereby rendering it unable to properly answer. Be prepared to have to either A) tap on everything on the screen in those cases or B) give up and ask for the answer.Show lessElec2009
