I’m absolutely confused

I started playing this game because I like this style of game but when trying to complete the Double Clues Murder case it won’t let me get the address to the Young’s so every time I use a hint it just gives hints for something I can’t seem to unlock… I’ve tried reading the hint multiple times but I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong. It’s a good game don’t get me wrong but it’s highly confusing for me when there appears to be nothing else I can do and it’s saying that there is.

Buttons don’t work

Had to put in keypad numbers 4x and even cash in a hint even though the number was correct all along. Too frustrating.

Superb

Such a great game! Incredibly generous too, you actually have to use your brain which I love! Only wish there were more of these as so unbelievably good. These are the best game creators in the App Store I would gladly pay for such incredible content! I’m replaying this incredible game years later and it’s still the best detective game in the App Store. Can’t wait for new content

Edit: so pleased this fabulous game has new content, really enjoying the new daily mystery puzzles! Great idea! Thank you! ☺️
