My honest reason I have This four stars is not because I didn’t like the game I loved everything about it the characters but the first time I place this game it glitched erased my progress I was not happy about it. Because I had to play the whole game again back to the beginning so it made me loose interest in this game but other than that issue the game was really fun enjoyed it so much. Thanks again hopefully there will be criminal minds mobile game 2 I think it needs one with new story line ### 4/5 — Good *2023-03-31* Overall this is a good game. The only complaint, suggestion, etc, I have is that one finishes the scene & one badge is given but five badges are needed to continue to the next case. So then one has to replay that scene at least 10 times before enough badges are accumulated to move forward. The next case won’t unlock without the required badges. I don’t want to have to play the same scene over & over at least 10 times just to be able to enjoy the rest of the game. Having to play a scene over & over that one has already completed doesn’t make one want to continue to play the game. ### 3/5 — Audio Bug :( *2022-12-29* This game is great, and I love playing it, but the sound has stopped working :( No matter what I try the audio shuts off completely after about 10 seconds. The game still works, but it’s much less enjoyable without sound. Hopefully this gets fixed. ### 4/5 — Rlly fun but some glitches .. *2022-09-03, version 1.2* This game has been really fun so far I love playing it to pass time. BUT after I complete a investigation and earn a badge it will tell me I have one extra than what I really have and will sometimes go down in a badge which results into me having to earn another one . Still going to play but very annoying lol ### 4/5 — scamming ppl with ads *2021-08-09, version 1.2* As much as i love this game and it’s attention to detail, the one thing that sets me off is that when you go to double your score by watching an ad, sometimes it doesn’t give you the double score and made you watch the ad for no reason. Like it’s doing that because you wouldn’t pay to unlock the episodes with money. Also, it takes away a badge sometimes. This isn’t cool, but overall the game it’s good. ### 4/5 — One thing I recommend *2021-07-07, version 1.2* This game is SO FUN. I’ve played for a while now, and I haven’t gotten bored of it. The only thing I suggest is that you make it possible to restore games. I deleted mine once, then later re-downloaded, only to find out that I lost all my progress. That’s really my only suggestion, but overall, I love it. ### 4/5 — Great Concept, Lots to Improve *2021-02-15, version 1.2* I’ve binged 12/15 seasons of this show, and when I found out about the app I was over the moon. It didn’t disappoint, I love how the game functions! I just feel like it’s not really rounded out, there’s more that could be added. The little Garcia shop is really cool! I wish the player could create their own avatar agent, and feature the avatar in the cut scenes. A lot of mobile games have check-in bonuses, so if you play the game a certain amount of days in a row you get a prize. I think that would make the game better, and engage the player. Also, I know the show isn’t continuing, but I hope the game can! New episodes, please! Criminal Minds has a huge fan base, we love your work, we’ve supported your show for 300 episodes, please give us some more criminal minds stuff in the form of this app! Love the show, love the game, it’s seriously so much fun and I would actually consider paying for stuff in-game if I needed to. Great work, please keep updating! ### 2/5 — Meh... *2021-01-01* As much as I loved the show and following the stories of Prentiss and the gang (which i never missed an episode) To be honest I didn't really find this to be very interesting unfortunately and uninstalled after a short period of time. I was kind of bored by it. 🤷🏻‍♀️ ### 3/5 — Anti-Game *2020-11-12* This isn't really a game, it's more like watching an episode of the tv show but you have to keep pressing play everytime someone speaks. The game is a mixture of scene investigation & cutscenes. Sounds fun right? Well unfortunately, the investigation part is basically watching the characters walk around doing generic actions whilst you complete tedious, over-simplistic mini-games (press here, long-press here, drag here, draw a basic line, long-press & drag etc). This wouldn't be as bad if there was an actual explanation as to what they are doing and why. But there's nothing! They collect a few prints, drink coffee, look through binoculars then talk in private and suddenly make conclusions you've had no involvement in helping reach. This then results in a long cutscene which forces you to press the screen after every line is spoken (maybe 20 lines of dialogue). The story is interesting and you want to get through to the end to find out what happens but getting there is a chore. Given the subject of the tv show and the nature of these type of games, fairly intelligent people would be the target audience I think? So to make it appeal to complete simpletons is the greatest mystery and remains unsolved. Making it like the old CSI games or detective/puzzles games on here would have helped the player feel like were helping solve the case rather than being the office cleaner eavesdropping on the investigation & fetching coffee. ### 4/5 — Good *2020-08-15* It’s good but it’s too fast so I’ll give it 4 make it just a little bit slower ### 4/5 — Love the game...but minor issues *2020-06-20, version 1.2* The game is fun and definitely better than most time management/crime tv show games that I’ve played before. I do love the option to get badges to unlock items, which can still take time, but a free option to just replay levels until you can unlock. The issue that I am facing is that when I watch the ads to increase my score, the sound of the game goes off even though the music and sound is checked on. This becomes an issue because at the end of each level I have to restart the app which becomes annoying and a huge turn off. But otherwise, fun game! ### 4/5 — Please make this game more interactive *2020-04-10, version 1.2* I love this game and I am glad I can play all the levels for free. Evan though I have to replay them a couple times. But I wish that they could make it a bit more interactive like maybe make the game where were the case and you can choose different options maybe it’s just I feel like this game could be more. ### 5/5 — Criminal minds *2020-01-28* Looking forward to #6 ### 4/5 — A bit hard to understand how to play game *2019-12-19* Its very good and addictive! Its not like the normal Run out of energy type games I like how you can watch vid for extra points Cool game if you like the show Its a bit tiny ### 5/5 — Criminal minds = amazing *2019-11-23* Love the tv series and now loving the game 😄 ### 5/5 — Disappointed *2019-11-09, version 1.2* I absolutely love the show so when I found this app I was super excited. Downloaded the game got started and got to the second case, the interactive elements of working the gun, fingerprints, helping Garcia, etc made the game that much better! Closed out of the game went about the rest of y day and when I had the chance to play and continue on I opened the game only to find it had ERASED everything I had done and put me back at level 1. Sadly I deleted the game because I’m not doing it over 20 times if it happens in the future. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Rubbish game *2023-09-20* Very boring, and crashes when you get to making the coffee lol. ### 1/5 — No Challenge & Little Interaction *2021-08-09, version 1.2* I downloaded it as I love the TV show so I thought I would try the game. All it seems to allow is to click on a character & then wait. “Playing” the game consists of watching a video, clicking on a character and nothing else. It just seems like a money maker for the developer & nothing else. You have no choice as to what each character does & are unable to interact to actually look for clues, problem solve, etc. It is a total letdown & waste of time. ### 1/5 — Was enjoying the game, but... *2021-01-30* Not sure if it’s me or the instructions or a bug or what, but i keep suddenly having no obvious tasks but also can’t get past it as if there is something I bf left that I can’t see? Is there any way to get help when that happens? It’s happening at level 1.05 and it’s been quite some time now.. ### 1/5 — Criminal mind not blown *2020-02-15* I can not believe everyone saying this is a great game!! You click on character and watch time go around, that’s it!! **Developer response:** Thank you for posting a review and for providing feedback. We're always looking to improve the game, so please reach out to us on our forums at ftx.me/CMForum and let us know if you have any additional ideas or thoughts. ### 1/5 — Loved the game, but feeling ripped off. *2019-05-13* I paid almost $15 for this game, and now it’s free for everyone? I understand that people who don’t pay have to unlock all of the badges, and the people who have paid can advance to the next chapter whenever they want. But that isn’t even REMOTELY worth $15. Maybe $2-$4 at the most. I’m feeling incredibly ripped off and disappointed that I spent so much money on this when I could have had it for free, and I guarantee that I’m not the only one. **Developer response:** As a Season Pass holder, you have all Cases completely unlocked and you may play the entire story at your leisure. Players who don’t have a Season Pass must unlock all the Turn of Events levels by collecting badges. Feel free to contact us at criminalminds@ftxgames.com at any time and we’d be happy to assist you further. Thanks for playing! ### 1/5 — Rubbish... *2019-01-22* ...have reviewed this game before but my review has been mysteriously removed. Perhaps because I stated the obvious and pointed out the gameplay didn’t make any sense. You tap, long tap, drag, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap. That’s basically it. Lots of dialogue. Lots of tapping with some dialogue, cutscenes and fancy graphics all bundled up in a neat package with the string of a popular tv series tied around it to get you spending lots of real money. This is a game that is all dressed up but has no where to go. It’s a fancy doughnut with lots of icing on it but no jam in it. This is an embarrassing game and the developers should be ashamed of themselves. It’s just an idle game at the end of the day. Premium it isn’t oh sorry, the graphics are premium but the gameplay is idle. Don’t waste your money. **Developer response:** Thank you for posting a review and for providing feedback.

Only rating 1 star as I’ve been waiting for the better part of 2 months or more for the devs to open new chapters. Will change if that changes **Developer response:** I am glad you are enjoying our game! We will be releasing new content soon, but we want to make sure the new Episodes will be as good as the initial release. Hang tight! ### 1/5 — Horrible Let Down *2018-11-29, version 1.040* The thought of a Criminal Minds Game is exciting... but you missed the mark to the point where your arrow didn’t even hit the board. Firstly the ability to choose and make choices to solve the cases are completely taken away from the player... it’s criminal minds the exemplification of thinking and using logic to solve complex problems. The fact that that is taken away is a slap in the face of those whole love the show. Now to get to the complaints mentioned by other users. 9.99 for a monthly pass? What a joke! The content of the game isn’t enough to justify the cost, it’s out right greedy by the developer. I get that people wish to make money but make it a premium game with the amount of following that criminal minds has you’d be able to charge 1 or 2.99 and people would pay for it. But ya screwed the pooch here and I don’t think I’ll take anything from this developer. **Developer response:** Thank you for posting a review and providing feedback.

Game loading takes forever keeps closing out. I’m not a satisfy customer because when i tech out and tell the people that owned the game they don’t wanna help you out they wanna keep making you explain over and over what your issue/problem of the game was all about when i just simply asked if i can get a refund back from the game plus its not fully finished yet. I’m very disappointed in the owner & staff of this game ### 1/5 — Criminal minds *2018-11-28* Very annoyed Final found a game I love then found out I need to pay Can’t we just earn the next episodes instead of paying for it **Developer response:** Criminal Minds: The Mobile Game is now free to everyone! All 6 cases and their respective chapters are open for play. Enjoy! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — LOVE THE SHOW LOVE THE GAME *2024-06-18* 💖💖 ### 5/5 — Addicting game *2023-08-23* Great game that makes you think, also great if you like the t.v program ### 5/5 — Playing and Watching the Best of Criminal Minds *2022-08-22* I’m doing great on my Criminal Minds game, and in the future they should make an animated version of the TV series Criminal Minds. ### 5/5 — Criminal Minds *2022-08-07* The best game out there.

It’s interactive, has interesting cases, and it is great to play when your finished with work or chores. However, they are short of a few of my characters, like Gideon and Hotchner, but I know they couldn’t cram every character in the game, and that’s okay! The game is still good. ### 5/5 — More please *2020-05-23* Loved this - wasn’t to keen on the episode with the non CM peeps in it but was a nice break from the norm More eps PLEASE!!!!!!
