Leave a Review Sherlock・Hidden Object・Match 3
Fun game but with issues
I like the game, but I’m not so interested in the stories, but now that I can see where I’m at in the diary it helps me. However, I don’t think the stories impact my game play so I tend to bypass them. If they gave some clues or otherwise led me to some extra prizes it would be different. But I have to say in order to get very far in this game is very costly and players should get more rewards. That’s why only 3 stars.
I appreciate the recent feedback and I hope the team gives some better rewards, such as, instead of only one gem, which does nothing for your customer, award enough gems to so that a player can at least buy a magnifying glass or even a better item. Awarding only one gem does nothing for your players. Also, I would like to be able to buy gems with my accumulated coins. Still a highly expensive game to play, and unlike what you said in your feedback, a player CAN’T complete some of the advanced match 3 games or hidden object games because you either need dynamite or guns to finish in the match 3 or you need the magnifying glass to find hidden objects that you hide so well as to not be visible, which is truly unfair.Show lessLikeWordGames

We're very grateful for your in-depth review, and we're happy to hear that you care about Sherlock. Rest assured that your suggestions will be forwarded to the right people.Truly free challenge
I’ve been playing this game a lot for months now. The choice of hidden-object or match-3 is an attractive feature. The art is consistently excellent, as are the stories that advance the game. The in-game economy is quite complex (where you need to earn items in one area to gain access to another). A number of other reviews claim that the player must spend real-world money to buy crystals, and that these are essential to advance. This is absolutely not true. The game gives beginning players lots of crystals, but they become more scarce as the player progresses in skill. The game is VERY challenging at higher levels but is still possible to play for free. I have made only one small in-app purchase of a few dollars and am still progressing, but you can expect to need to develop your skills. I want to praise the developer for its responsiveness. I found one genuine bug, a single hidden object that could not be successfully found, and I reported it. In less than 2 days, the developer responded that they had confirmed the bug and would correct it in the next update, and sent a workaround that would allow me to keep playing until the fix was applied. Exemplary!Show lessArete363

I really like the game, I like doing the investigation part and also the match 3 section both keep me interested it really helps improve my intuitive and observation skills. The game is enjoyable I hope you keep making more Sherlock Holmes games and more investigation games like this. Thank you, Ken In the Sherlock Holmes game why do you have us watch the videos to get free gems(rewards) and after we watch and then press the x up in the right hand corner to exit no reward is granted. This is something you better lock in to, it’s really annoying and frustrating. Thank you, Ken Also when you’re investigating a scene and you make a wrong pick you take 5 seconds off the investigating time that’s not fair you cause the player to make rush decisions. In a real life investigation that wouldn’t happen. I’ve talked to people who’ve played the game and got frustrated with their investigating time being shortened they quit playing the game. Something you might to think about. When you have the investigation part of the books in the Sherlock Holmes game you keep the same type of investigative series on there too long, keep the investigative series for a certain length of time, keeping it on there too long it becomes boring, you need a new investigative scene.Show lessDodger32

This game is so much fun to play, it’s addicting!! This game is beautifully done, love the animations when you win things and especially when you need to go someplace, it tells you where you need to go lol. I don’t personally care much for the story part of it, I just enjoy the ‘finding items’ part within a timeframe aspect. The most recent improvements have made this the ONLY game I play now! LOVE how you can adjust the ‘type of play’ I guess you call it, by hitting the green return circle thing. There are a few game types I’m not a fan of therefore, those books I avoided. Now, I can go back and switch the type of play for those books and voila! Problem solved! The only other improvement I would like to see made is that the match 3 for the higher levels are actually winnable! Also, one question for the developers: why doesn’t “birdsong” actually sing or make noise?Show lessSUP_LOVIN

Hello! Thanks for your in-depth review! We are trying to keep the game challenging enough to be interesting for players. We will surely consider your comments regarding the difficulty of the game and the audio effects 😊Love the game…now…😉
Still my number one game!! 👍👍👍
All of my one-time complaints (below) were fixed fairly soon & it has been wonderful ever since! Thank you G5! Now…🙄😂😂😂
When changes are made, sure would like to know about them, either at the time of update or right before. This last update, that started the new challenge, was a total wipeout! It had weird flags on all the playing areas, none of which worked. You couldn’t get into them. The next day, they finally worked. Now we’ve lost our ability to send requests to our friends. Why??!! When I wanted to contact you to ask what was going on & for how long, the ONLY way was to fill out a million question page about my device technicals, none of which I know! I use an iPad. That’s the limit of my knowledge. So you’re getting my questions here…sigh… And I do expect a reply of some kind. I’ve spent a fortune with you so I know you can contact me. Please do!!Show lessMmouse1313

Fun game! Very enjoyable. Fast paced on 5G. Downloads fail with added time. I switch back and forth only using my fingerprint, or the same for closer chats, tight run on 5G. You’ll wait a long time…if you have multiple people out here on 4G or less. Great game! Rated Jurisdiction is a clear path to success. It makes 5G Adults accessible with $..😊 ..Unbeatable. The only mind control for a kid is…it’s addicting. As an adult, we play Super. I don’t spend much $ at all. This game will let you gamble…bitcoin…changeover… If you know what you need and have it, or can access it through the game. Play hard and tough. Take care of the friends you make! Pay it forward! Recruit successful candidates as friends! They will help you…when they notice you have played for nearly 7 years. And give sought after items. Let’s play “Sherlock” make your first destination mine. I will help starters and very advanced. See you soon fellow successful friends! ❤️👀❤️signed kzrla or Kapna.Show lessKarla2021
Fun! Handsome! Good old memories? Just slow down the hints😬
This is a beautifully illustrated and fun game that uses your wits as creative match-3 puzzles get harder as do object searches as you go through levels and treasured books’ worlds. But the hints at the bottom of the screen before and/or after each round flash too fast to read them🤨…. If you either slowed them down or let a player tap to proceed, the game would be less stressful and more fun. I’m really enjoying the beauty, detail and imagination of the scenes, characters and objects, and the range of cultures and history and good sense and values of imagination and exploration woven through the characters and their book lives interacting. I would give this game a solid 5 IF they would fix whatever they did that blocks me from entering any chat or even logging into the game and giving myself a name….any typing I do except an emoji won’t show up on my iPad 4th generation screen in the game🤨!Show lessPeace2usall2

Better than Hidden City! You can earn rubies and not have to pay for them! Please change the color of Lucy’s dress!!! Or give her a new style! I have rated this game for the third time! Please change the color of the dress. I did see the shawl you gave her for Christmas. Please! I am not on facebook and don’t intend to get on facebook just to play a secondary game. If it is your intention to force people to join facebook I am not interested. Please change Lucy’s color of her dress. I did noticed the shawls color. I still play the game but it does cost a pretty penny to really make an effort to advance to a higher level. I am at a higher level and it gets very hard to play the match three games. I am also frustrated by not being able to obtain the Maltese cross or eye of Osiris. I have over 15 levels waiting to be released. Please change the clothes on Lucy and the other characters!Show lessfourfiveo
