Repetitive with random results

This is a game that not only gets repetitive quite quickly, but the tasks that you need to accomplish get random results. That means you do not always get the items you need to move forward. You therefore have to do the same tasks over and over again until the game decides to give you the item you need. So, move another objective? Again, same puzzles over and over again.

Hello Loual4, Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the game's repetitiveness and progression. We are constantly working on improving the game based on the feedback from our players, so thank you for sharing your feedback on what we could improve.

lame

wish i could pay for an offline version and i wish they would finish the story

Great game but it died

I loved this game!! After solving all the mysteries, a player can continue accumulating diamonds, coins, etc. When I tried to open a room to continue playing, I received error messages. After a few weeks the technical team is not able to resolve the problem. I am so disappointed‼️

Game doesn’t save

As I progress the game has stopped saving. I can’t collect beads for the daily challenge. I have reached out for help and haven’t received a response. Don’t bother playing this game because it will only frustrate you

Game doesn’t save

Game has been fine but it has stopped saving and I have to redo several parts I’ve completed.

Super jeu…Mais…

Le jeu est vraiment chouette, mais l’application n’arrête pas de s’arrêter en disant que ma connection est mauvaise (ce qui n’est pas vrai) . Bref, l’application redémarre , sans avoir fait de sauvegarde… Et je parle de plusieurs niveaux. Très frustrant car j’adore le jeu… Et se repasser tous les dialogues et les interactions, c’est vraiment pénible. Ça revient toujours au même endroit. Bref après deux fois, j’abandonne .

Ghost Detective

The allotted time isn’t enough. If you find everything with time left it should go to the next search. There are more items to find in the second and third searches. This is why I gave it 3 stars.

Unplayable/Network Connection Errors

The last week or so in March 2026, this game abruptly stopped working. Despite an a app update a few days ago (about April 1), the same problem persists: Every time I open the app, it seems to start normally, my Netflix gamer name flashes on screen in the corner (as usual), then an error message would pop up about being unable to connect to the network/to check my Internet connection. The problem wasn't on my end as other apps and Safari had no problem connecting the my Internet network. Hard restarting the app and my iPad didn't help.

Before the most recent update, I would have given this game about 4 stars. I'm not a huge fan of "Hidden Object" games, but this is different enough from what I usually come across that I'm willing to stick with it. Overall, not the best game out there, but it is interesting enough to play a little each day. It avoids the tendency in"Hidden Object" games to make scenes a crowded closet or store full of detailed objects. The storyline of being a ghost solving your own murder is a bit predictable, but this at least adds a different twist to the genre. The best part of Ghost Detective is probably the way it uses its setting of New Orleans to explore the culture of the city.

No longer working

I really enjoyed this game, but the last week it won't connect. Given I can't find a way to easily message for support, I assume this game is no longer available to play through Netflix. Yet another game loss. Disappointed.

Game crashes

Persistent instability. Game crashes every time I log on and play for more than 5 minutes. Less than one star if that’s possible

인터넷 연결이 안돼있다고 합니다

말도 안되는 소리!!

Very buggy

Keeps telling me to connect to internet but regardless of whether I’m on wifi or 5g it doesn’t resolve

재밌습니다!

그런데 레스프리 카페 플레이시 액자 속 햄버거는 계속 우편봉투로 보입니다..!ㅜㅜ 그냥 그러려니 하고 플레이하긴 해요 ㅋㅋㅋ

안녕하세요! 게임을 재밌게 즐기고 계신다니 저희도 기쁩니다. 소중한 의견 감사드립니다.

Well made but not relaxing

The game does a good job of starting to world-build but is too challenging to sustain a casual interest. Have played lots of hidden object games and they mostly got the balance right of puzzles in the way of story whereas this game is too challenging and unforgiving requiring a player to give up a huge chunk of loot to retry. Anyway, realized I was getting stressed too early and failing levels repeatedly. Otherwise it’s a well made game. I love how integrated the objects are and how a lot of them are even animated. Shame it’s just too hard to be a “casual” game for me.

Response from developer

It's great to hear that you appreciate the world-building and the animation of the objects! However, we recognize that the challenge level has made it less relaxing for you. Your feedback about balancing difficulty with casual play is invaluable, and we truly appreciate you sharing your experience. Thank you for your insights!

I love this game, and have played it twice. I’d love to see more cases and locations added to have continuous enjoyment. Louisiana has so much history and stories that could possibly be added. Hopefully there will more added.

Doesn’t work, doesn’t open

Keeps saying I’m not connected to the internet when I am. Doesn’t work.

Ridiculous

I just played a single hunt at least 12 times in a row and didn’t get the article I need. I’m at level 102 and I’m going to delete the game. The amount of grinding at this point is beyond acceptable.

It’s a challenger fr

It’s a good brain workout

I really like it…

But it won’t open any more. Keeps saying I’m not connected to the Internet and just goes into a restart loop.

Frustration

It starts giving you 2 minutes then 1.5 and it becomes more difficult. The goal is always to get you to spend money for additional hints, etc.
