### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-03-13, version 1.0.2*

Another great instalment of the detectives United series. Fun plot and fun bonus chapter where you get to play as all three detectives

### 2/5 — Shortest game EVER

*2024-12-28, version 1.0.2*

I play these games all the time and love them.  Ive put out a lot of money to do it.  Even though I enjoy this series, I have never played such a short game.   Its short because its ridiculously easy.  Everything you need to find and use is usually in one room and not very complicated.  I will try another in the series, but if its as short as this one, Im done.

### 5/5 — Green Frog Girl

*2024-04-08, version 1.0.2*

I’ve just found this, I must have missed it. It is an awesome Game, with the 3 Detectives. The Graphics are fantastic and the Story is great, plus I love that it incorporates many Masonic Symbols. The Supreme Being would be pleased. 👁️

### 5/5 — Good game

*2023-06-09, version 1.0.2*

This is a really good game which I thoroughly enjoyed. Full of interest and intrigue. The bonus game was very good too. Well done to all concerned.

### 2/5 — Eh …. Really kind of a mess

*2022-09-04, version 1.0.2*

I’ve enjoyed the games in this title although they can be a bit short and murky from time to time. This one seems to have been quite rushed and I wonder if I accidentally wandered into a beta test. There are some missing elements that make the story difficult to follow like voice-overs for the TV news, any explanation of the murders, and two of the mini games have instructions reversed. Some of the dialogue and the mouth movements don’t exactly match up which isn’t a really big deal but it’s kind of hard to watch. I think a little more time spent on details would’ve been welcome to players who enjoy the series. UPDATE: contacted EG and was asked to specify my concerns, which I did. No word since. The app support link is broken as well. This isn’t the usual response from EG and they rarely put out a game so badly flawed. Wondering if there’s trouble in the company. 2nd update: was really hoping that given some time EG would fix this game. But no. Nothing. And that’s a real shame. Up to now, this was a fun title. But the glaring inconsistencies, lack of clarity and just plain lazy execution undermines EG’s history of well crafted, fun games worth the money. Those of us who have purchased EG games and left good reviews deserve an explanation and a promise to do better. Maybe you’re tired of money?

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2022-07-09, version 1.0.2*

As usual, was too short. But unusually it was a muddled mess. Cut scenes missing or suddenly popping up in the wrong place, whole narrative points missing, annoying hand-holding clues to every action. Ultimately just a random string of locations and repetitive activities. No story, no nothing. After finishing, I still have no idea what happened to the main villain, what the plot of the story was, or anything else. For all those who can’t get past the stencil puzzle, don’t bother. There’s nothing much past the stencil puzzle anyway.

### 4/5 — Bug in bonus chapter fixed now

*2022-06-11, version 1.0.2*

Thank you for the update

Cannot give the bracelet to the doctor guy, so cannot continue in game! And yes I have done the update

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2022-06-07, version 1.0.1*

Looked forward to a new game in this series. This one was not it. Way to short and easy.  No real plot or storyline. One of the worst in this series and not worth $6.99.

### 5/5 — Very pleased!

*2022-05-13, version 1.0.1*

Thanks to Lynx Minx’s help with the stencil puzzle, I had no problem with the game. Found the game play entertaining, holding my interest throughout. Indefinitely got my money’s worth on this one.  Thank you.

### 4/5 — Detectives United: Deadly Debt by LynxMinx

*2022-05-03, version 1.0.0*

Attention all players! There is nothing wrong with the game, as far as a fatal error, in my experience. Here are the instructions for the stencil puzzle. I’m calling this tutorial Stencils for Dummies, since I sent two extremely nasty and threatening emails to Elephant when there was no actual problem. Or if there was I did not experience it. 1. Place your number sheet, or template, or picture or whatever you decide to call it on the desk. 2. Place the stencil over it. Once you do this you do not need to touch the stencil again. Numbers appear in the holes of the stencil. You do NOT need to highlight or touch these numbers. That is why you cannot move the stencil again. It is not meant to be moved or touched again! It is meant to remain in place. 3. The numbers showing through the holes are 4825. You simply enter this code on the desk drawer, and voila, it opens and there is NO ISSUE! I am enjoying this game and at least it has novel inventory usage and some entertaining puzzles. However the storyline is somewhat confusing and convoluted. Basically at heart it’s about an evil woman forcing others to kill for her to maintain her life force. This plot is banal, trite and stale! Some of the puzzles had the incorrect instructions. I don’t usually read them so it’s unbelievable that I even noticed this lack of quality assurance. There is no excuse for incorrect instructions. My rating will remain at 4 stars. I deducted a star for a slight lack of touchscreen sensitivity on the gameplay interface, and for transposing incorrect instructions for two puzzles. In addition, I still do not understand how I completed the stencil puzzle yet others could not. Unless Elephant fixed it before I played and there was no evidence of any type of update. Too many people had problems for it to have been a coincidence! It’s unfortunate because the game did have a lot of interesting elements and was a decent length for a change. Happy gaming, everyone!
