Overall sentiment: negative **Pros** - 🚀 Minimal non-video ads - 👍 Fun concept **Cons** - 🐛 Clues have errors and are unclear - 🔍 Difficult to read small text on mobile - 🤯 Too many ads - 🔌 Game stopped working and had to reinstall **Commonly reported bugs** - Clues mix up rows and columns - Unrecognizable hair color descriptions - Similar names cause confusion - Game gets stuck in an ad loop **Most requested features** - Improve translation and accuracy of clues - Increase text size for better readability - Reduce the number of ads ## Newest reviews (13 of 45) ### 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??? ### 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 ### 3/5 — Needs some fixing but very good potential *2025-06-04, version 1.3.0* Game crashes. Clues do not always help, are wrong or make no sense. Repeat if games when closing out and reopening. Please fix because I like game like this. ❤️. I’ll be waiting for an update ### 2/5 — could use work *2025-06-02, version 1.3.0* The game is fine, not the most entertaining, however some of the clues are so unhelpful I feel like I would rather get lobotomized by a toddler with a nail gun before I play another round ### 2/5 — Too boring *2025-05-29, version 1.3.0* Basically ,the game starts out good but then it just gets really really boring and repetitive. Also, I think the game is definitely meant for really young children because it’s sooo easy. Don’t recommend playing it. The idea of the game is alright but they really need to think about it ### 2/5 — Getting kicked out the game in the middle of a level *2025-05-28, version 1.3.0* It’s a good game but a few time when I’m almost done with the level it’s kicked me out and I have to replay the level again. Please fix this on your next update ### 2/5 — Get it if ur smart or just don’t get it *2025-05-11, version 1.3.0* When I was like 10 I got it and it was horrible bc the rows and columns confused me and it was so boring and it said the person with grey hair is the smth and there’s no grey hairs only black brown blonde and ginger FIX UR GAME (it was kinda good but another story-) I was 11 and my brother loved this game AND I REMEMBERED IT and it gave me NO game time next time fix it to the owner please because it’s horrible! ### 3/5 — It’s an okay game *2025-05-07, version 1.3.0* Ads every single level are unnecessary though. And why does your game misgender people (who aren’t even trans might I add) ### 3/5 — 🫤meh ☺️ *2025-05-03, version 1.3.0* Fun and the adds it show are true! Barley any ads, but it is a little slow and glitches sometimes, please fix that🥺! Other than that it is good 👍 ### 3/5 — ADS *2025-04-22, version 1.3.0* The amount of ads on here is crazy but I have no patience whatsoever but it’s a good game 3/5 ### 1/5 — Too much ads. *2025-04-11, version 1.3.0* I love the game, but there is just too much ads. ### 1/5 — Great idea rubbish game *2025-04-06, version 1.2.0* This game is an advert after every single section, not only that the ads take ages to load. The clues are lost in the translation definitely not one for me ### 3/5 — Unclear Clues *2025-04-05, version 1.2.0* The game is very distracting and good for playing for long periods of time.However, the clues can extremely unclear.Rows can either be columns, rows, or both.Also, the color “gray” is unrecognizable. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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! ### 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. ### 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 ### 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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!????????????????????????????!!!?!?!?! ### 1/5 — Not like the ads… *2025-05-25, version 1.3.0* The game is nothing like your ads. False advertisement. ### 1/5 — My honest review *2025-05-14, version 1.3.0* I haven’t played it much but it doesn’t give you enough clues. You have to start guessing the criminal to find out who they are. It’s just too hard. The level three was already really difficult. ### 1/5 — So bad *2025-04-28, version 1.3.0* So bad don’t get ### 1/5 — My review on brain detective ( please read ) *2025-04-27, version 1.3.0* Ok so brain detective is good and all but like it’s rubbish so yeah I have played this game and no pay and stuff but on level 10 you will never guess what I had TO PAY LIKE ARE YOU SERIOUS. So is stopped playing it and a couple of weeks later played it and didn’t have to pay. But every 10 levels I had to pay LIKE WHAT and the graphics are rubbish and I had 100 coins used some for hint DIDNT LET ME HAVE HINT. IF YOU WANT THIS GAME NO AND IF HAVE IT DELETE RN ### 1/5 — Confusing *2025-04-20, version 1.3.0* As other reviews said, the translation is horrible, which caused me to lose my 3 hearts in the game. Also, for me, the graphics are horrible. I don’t recommend this game ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — GG *2025-05-16, version 1.3.0* Ending fine dice Sheridan ### 5/5 — Amazing game!!! *2025-04-13, version 1.3.0* This game is amazing. It's just like the ads and all the 3s and 2s are about things that literally DON'T happen!! ### 5/5 — Ads *2025-03-10, version 1.2.0* I’m on level 17 and I haven’t had any ads though the concept is fun it can get boring over time. But over all good game :) ### 5/5 — Noice *2025-03-08, version 1.2.0* Super minimal non video ads, true to the ads you see of it and actually super fun!! ### 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. ### 4/5 — 😍😍😍😍😍😍 *2025-05-12, version 1.3.0* I loved this game so much only I wish you had like 5 lives because for some I just had to guess because they did not have a clue pretty fun and recommended ☺️☺️☺️😊😊😊😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰😘😘😘😘 ### 4/5 — All the reviews are fake *2025-05-04, version 1.3.0* So far I have enjoyed this game so much ### 4/5 — Clue errors *2025-03-12, version 1.2.0* I agree that there are clues that need fixing. I have also had several times after ending a game and closing the app, that when I return I get the last game I finished and have to do it again. Sometimes I need to guess on a good person to get a clue I can use. Game with grey hair clue was useless since I didn’t find anyone with grey hair. Since it was the first clue I had to guess in order to continue. I think this game has promise, it just needs someone to verify clues on games that have had fixes made to them. ### 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. 😕 ### 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 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
