## What is Beast of Bodkin Hall?

After nearly a millennium, the famed DUNBAR DAGGER has resurfaced. Long regarded as mere folklore, this fabled and most coveted artifact is once again a thing of reality.

Word of the dagger's existence has set collectors abuzz. From the loftiest corporate TREASURE HUNTER, to the lowest den of THIEVES, to the shadiest SCAVENGER of fine antiquities, various hints, intimations and, yes, INKLINGS regarding the Dunbar's whereabouts have been circulating for weeks. The trail has gone hot, and all signs point to one location.

BODKIN HALL.

–

Join the hunt as a guest of that stately home. SEARCH for clues, OUTWIT your opponents and WATCH OUT for the occasional ferocious beast. It's all part of the Bodkin Hall experience.

And because a visit to a grand old castle would not be the same without a puzzling corpse or two, enjoy a little light murder as you track down your treasure.

Think of it as a SCAVENGER HUNT wrapped in a WHODUNIT, steeped in GOTHIC INTRIGUE.

### 1/5 — Nonsense

*2026-03-07*

The solutions don’t make sense, the control is difficult and sometimes you have to repeat the same action to get a different result. Not a fun game unless you enjoy headaches and frustration.

### 2/5 — Freezing

*2025-10-14*

Game keeps freezing.. it’s fun but once I unlock one of the safes the game is total frozen and I can’t progress. So sad

**Developer response:** Hi. If you wouldn't mind getting in touch on our website we can get more details and try to help you fix this.

### 5/5 — Fulfilled every fancy ab an aged castle!

*2025-09-30*

Nice storyline! Nice & sensible logics!

**Developer response:** Thanks for your review! We really appreciate it!

### 5/5 — Agatha Christie with Humor

*2025-04-21*

Loved the feel of this! Satisfying, hard puzzles—in the best way. Cool art. Great story and world building. I feel happy just remembering my time in these halls!

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review! We had so much fun making this game. And we were definitely going for a funny Christie vibe. Your kind words really made our evening.

### 5/5 — Wow!  What fun!

*2024-10-01*

I’ve been playing this now for a few weeks as I don’t want to use a hint, so I make some progress every day!  What a delightful game!  Challenging yet entertaining!  I second what the other five star reviewers have written!  I also have played all of their games and will joyfully continue. Shame on reviewers giving less than five stars because they couldn’t understand it or didn’t play it on the best system. Kudos to the writers and programmers!

**Developer response:** Thanks for the wonderful review! It's very cool that you took your time playing Bodkin, and we're so happy you've enjoyed our other games too. We hope to have a new one out soon.

### 4/5 — So good. Needs Game Center

*2024-09-30*

My kid is in the middle of Bodkin Hall and we’re loving it. It’s smart, and funny. Challenging but not too much for her (she’s 12). But my phone is dying so I’m finally upgrading. She’s going to lose all her progress, and we’ll have to start over again. Gaaahhh so disappointing.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the nice review! So glad you're both enjoying it. We believe saved app settings can be preserved when transferring phones, but better check with the Apple store on that.

### 5/5 — Love love love this game

*2024-09-16*

Please keep making awesome games!!
Purchased every game from this company, this one is my favorite of all.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much! We're really glad you enjoyed it. We're hard at work on a new game and are looking to release it next month (October '24).

### 5/5 — Fun and original!

*2024-08-18*

Guaranteed fun!

**Developer response:** Thanks!

### 5/5 — Adore Mystery Caper games

*2024-06-17*

A complete joy. So much fun - story, characters and dialogue, puzzles - for hours. There is sparkling wit here with many engaging puzzles that, when solved, make one relish every bit of the process. These games are simply that good, so much so, that it is difficult to say which ones I have enjoyed more. They are all worth it. Kudos! And please continue to create as you do.

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for taking the time to write a review and for your incredibly kind words. It really means a lot. Making games people enjoy is so important us, and we're hard at work on our new one.

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2024-05-23*

This is far and away the most engaging, funny, well-thought out game I have played for quite some time. I wouldn’t have made it through without hints, but now that I understand how the brilliant developer minds work, I can’t wait to try their previous games.

**Developer response:** Your review really brightened our week. We can't tell you what it means to us to have players enjoy the games we enjoy making so much. Thanks again.
