## What is Brain Detective?

It is a reasoning game that combines brain challenges with logic puzzles, designed to test your observation, deductive reasoning, and decision-making skills. Initially, you play as a gifted detective apprentice, and your daily task is to discern who is an innocent good-hearted individual and who is hiding their malicious deeds. Some clues may appear insignificant on the surface, but through meticulous analysis and connections, they can reveal critical truths. Every choice you make influences the outcome, potentially allowing the culprit to escape or causing an innocent person to be wrongfully accused. Through relentless reasoning, you gradually grow into a master detective.

### 2/5 — Clues not accurately translated to English

*2025-07-26, version 1.3.3*

I love games like this but this one was translated to English from another language using online translation, so not all of the clues make sense. A lot of clues will use a word implying to a single person, when it is meant to be multiple. An example, level 92 “the row with the empty space contains one criminal”, but there is 3 rows with empty spaces. This is only one example and one that can be understood as a translation mistake, but other levels are much worse. Clues will also use “him” when referring to a picture of a female, maybe the game is testing people on transgender people???

### 1/5 — False and misleading game advert.

*2025-07-11, version 1.3.3*

If I knew what country you published in I would report you to The  BetterBusiness Bureau of that country.
I am fed up to the teeth  with game ads that in NO WAY represent the actual.  LIAR and a CHEAT!

### 3/5 — Confusion, Ads, Guessing and a Bug.

*2025-07-05, version 1.3.0*

It gets really confusing when the characters use the pronoun “he” (a word used when talking about a male) and then the bad person is a female. If you hold on someone it shows you either if they’re a male or female confused why couldn’t they add proper pronouns? Anyway this game is really fun but there is ads every single round. You also have to guess a lot which can get confusing and sometimes the clues are confusing. Also I didn’t see anyone else talking about this but there is a bug where I’ll be in the middle of the round and the game turns off and takes me to my Home Screen for no reason, now I don’t have much of a problem with that except for it doesn’t save my progress so I have to start over again and everyone changes looks and names so I can’t remember who was what. Please fix that last bug especially. 😕

### 1/5 — Clues not accurate

*2025-07-03, version 1.3.0*

It may be because the language is being translated to English, but the clues are not always accurate. You will follow exactly what a clue says, and it still doesn’t get blacked out. And the game uses male and female, but then when you select people who look like male or female, you’re wrong? 
For example, on level 80 a tile says “*** male neighbours all are good person” (not people) but when you select the neighbours who look male and they are innocent, that tile remains white. When you select the third neighbour as innocent, that’s also right. But the tile font remains white when there is no other neighbours?????

### 1/5 — Getting mixed up

*2025-06-27, version 1.3.0*

I do like this game but at least once every round it would mix something up for example it would say only one bad person left and there would be two and it just makes me so frustrated I can’t enjoy the game.

### 3/5 — I can’t play!

*2025-06-27, version 1.3.0*

When I first started it was really fun but when I finished level 125 it glitched and wouldn’t let me play but if you fix this glitch I will give you 5 stars

### 1/5 — Copyright!

*2025-06-23, version 1.3.0*

This game is  copying cluemaster a amazing game with good quality download that and delete this

### 2/5 — Too many ads & crashes

*2025-06-20, version 1.3.0*

I really enjoy the game itself but I am giving it 2 stars for two reasons. First the excessive amount of ads. For example, I had an ad play then I flipped two people and there was another ad. The second reason is the game was constantly crashing. Each time it crashed, I had to start over at the same level

I deleted it because the above two reasons were making the game impossible to enjoy

### 1/5 — Delete dummy’s

*2025-06-09*

The rating for this is 4 plus including my brother who is 7 years and your game has this thing that said when you find a criminal “ smuggling illegal drugs” so delete this game now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!????????????????????????????!!!?!?!?!

### 4/5 — Good except for the crashes

*2025-06-07, version 1.3.0*

I like the game. It’s not like the ads for it so they are misleading. Also I’ll play a couple of levels and then the game will crash. Sometimes during an ad, sometimes partway through a level. It’s a bit frustrating.

I do love the clues for story levels though. However, maybe put the story levels the same as your ads so it’s not completely misleading.

Also a way to remove the ads would be much appreciated.
