### 1/5 — What is this

*2026-09-09*

Nach 6 Tagen darf man kostenfrei erst wieder spielen

**Developer response:** Danke für dein Feedback! 🫶🏻 Der erste Fall ist komplett kostenlos spielbar. Danach erscheint jede Woche ein neuer Fall — der Countdown zeigt genau, wann es weitergeht, und dieser Rhythmus gilt für alle, auch für Pass-Inhaber. Jeder Fall wird von Hand gebaut: eigene Geschichte, echte Hinweise, eigens erstellte Fotos und Übersetzung in 8 Sprachen — dafür brauchen wir diese Zeit. Wir hoffen, du bist beim nächsten Fall wieder dabei. 🔍

### 1/5 — .

*2026-09-08*

Debe ser gratis todos los casos

**Developer response:** Gracias por tu comentario. 🫶🏻 El primer caso es totalmente gratuito, de principio a fin. Detrás de cada caso hay una historia original, sus pruebas, sus imágenes y traducción a 8 idiomas, y por eso publicamos un caso nuevo cada semana en lugar de soltarlos todos de golpe. El Pass es lo que nos permite seguir creándolos. Agradecemos mucho que lo hayas probado. 🔍

### 2/5 — Needs work

*2026-10-12*

I only did the first free case so my review is limited. But first impressions led me to turn down paying for the full version of the app. On the positive side, I liked how you could pin clues to the board. The phone apps for browsing were laid out well. But I found the questions to be worded in a confusing manner and once you entered the correct answer, the next part of the story flashed on and off the screen so quickly, you had no time to read it fully before the next question popped up. So the whole time I was playing, I barely had a grasp of the storyline or what was going on. Even so, like most games in this genre, the suspect became obvious very quickly and it was just a matter of trying to answer the questions correctly, which wasn't always the easiest thing to do. For instance, if asked for a time that a certain event happened, "2:00 pm" will be rejected but "2:00" will be accepted. Oftentimes, it's just trial and error trying to figure out the wording that will be accepted to move on. For these reasons, I've decided it's not worth paying the $20 for more cases so I'll be deleting the app.

### 2/5 — Not the best

*2026-09-07*

I read the reviews and I thought it was going to be a really good app. I was doing the first case and really enjoyed it. They should really state somewhere that it costs money.

**Developer response:** Thanks for playing, and we're sorry the pricing came as a surprise. 🫶🏻 The first case is free from start to finish, and in our App Store page, we clearly have information about that this app includes in-app purchases. Glad you enjoyed the first investigation, and a new case lands every week. 🔍

### 3/5 — Good game but…

*2026-09-27*

The game is fun and entertaining, but after you complete the first one, you have to pay for pro to do the rest of the investigations. If it wasn’t for that, I would 100% recommend it to anyone who likes investigating.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the kind words, detective! 🫶🏻 We're really glad you enjoyed the first investigation. The first case is free from start to finish, and the Pass is what lets us keep building new ones. Every case is hand-made, with an original story, real evidence, custom photos and translations into 8 languages, and each one is tested continuously before it goes live. A new case lands every week, and the next file is already on the desk. Hope to see you back on the board! 🕵️‍♀️🔍

### 3/5 — Bien

*2026-09-26*

C’était super bien juste un peu
 difficile et quand t’as fini les questions faut payer

**Developer response:** Merci beaucoup pour ton retour, détective ! 🫶🏻 Ravis que l'enquête t'ait plu. Oui, c'est un peu difficile, et c'est voulu : on a conçu Redstring pour qu'il ne se résolve pas en quelques clics comme d'autres jeux du genre. Le premier dossier est entièrement gratuit, et le Pass nous permet de continuer à créer de nouvelles affaires : histoire originale, vraies preuves, photos conçues pour chaque dossier et traduction en 8 langues, le tout testé en continu. Une nouvelle enquête arrive chaque semaine, alors à très vite ! 🕵️‍♀️🔍

### 4/5 — Un peu prévisible la première enquête…

*2026-10-21*

Trop évident

### 4/5 — Bien

*2026-09-21*

J’aime beaucoup pas bcp de pub et pas payant sa change

**Developer response:** Merci beaucoup pour ce super retour ! 🫶🏻 Ravis que l'expérience te plaise. Chaque dossier est construit à la main, avec une histoire originale, de vraies preuves et des photos créées spécialement pour lui, et une nouvelle enquête arrive chaque semaine. Garde ta loupe à portée de main, détective, le prochain dossier est déjà en préparation ! 🕵️‍♀️🔍

### 5/5 — Top

*2026-10-12*

Es ist ein Mega schönes Spiel schade ist nur das man nicht sehen kann wann man das nächste Level kostenlos weiter spielen darf oder ob das überhaupt geht. Wenn es keine kostenlose Option gibt wirklich schade

### 5/5 — Fun Game

*2026-08-07*

It's a very engaging game. The questions aren't as easy as in other games; you really have to work hard to find the answers. I liked the stories. The game is truly immersive. You rummage through the phone, collecting evidence and clues to answer questions. It's a very engaging game. I've finished it all and am eagerly awaiting the new cases.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for the amazing feedback! 🫶🏻 We’re thrilled that you enjoyed the stories, challenging questions, and the investigation experience. More cases are on the way, so stay tuned, detective! 🕵️‍♀️🔍
