And that certainly is! Also love the fact that to get clues you can watch ads instead of paying money. Definitely recommend it! ### 4/5 — It’s great! *2025-07-15, version 3.13* This game is so fun to play if you want to test your deductive skills and it also makes for a good game to play when you have nothing to do or when you are bored in general! This game is one of the best deductive games I’ve played ngl ### 4/5 — Funny game *2025-07-04, version 3.13* It’s a really funny game if you love murder mystery’s and want to be a detective sometimes it is kinda hard but fun ### 3/5 — . *2025-05-09, version 3.13* Ngl It’s cool the game updated and all but the infiltration puzzles shouldn’t of been added into the game at all. Not only do you have to spend money in order to move past phases it’s the fact that the 5/5 accuracy doesn’t make sense. 5/5 accuracy should be a perfect shot and it’s not. You have to click it multiple times while the clock is ticking and while the sensor is moving at a certain speed it wastes so much time and then you have to watch ads to get more bullets or added time it’s dumb. ### 3/5 — Back arrow bug *2024-07-17* Love the game. I played it a few years ago and re downloaded it today. I like the new updates but found a bug. When I click one of the options and try to go back to the previous options I can’t do it because it won’t let me. Please fix!! ### 4/5 — Love it *2024-06-14, version 3.07* Good game Just love the story and this my third time playing and I see a few new things that before ### 5/5 — Entertaining *2024-04-02, version 3.07* This game is a really good game for car rides and if you like puzzles. Entertaining, and no adds ### 5/5 — J *2024-03-01, version 1.0.4* The game is sooooooooooo fun and thrilling thank you sooooooooo much. ### 5/5 — The ultimate detective case app. *2024-02-21, version 1.0.4* I’ve been playing this game mid 2020, and it has never left me bored and made me think real hard to “connect the dots” whilst doing so. I haven't even made it halfway through finishing the whole thing since it is pretty hard, but it has a good storyline! A great game to test your mind. Try out a few cases before you judge it. Beautifully written. ### 5/5 — Excellent game *2024-01-15, version 1.0.4* Many cases, variability, and an easy format highly recommend. ### 5/5 — Great Detective Game! *2024-01-15, version 1.0.4* This is one of the best detective games I’ve played. It doesn’t cost an arm and a leg for unlimited everything and it has no ads!! I highly recommend! ### 5/5 — Hints *2024-01-11, version 1.0.4* Good just wish they was a way to earn more hints without paying ### 5/5 — AMAZING GAME! *2024-01-08, version 1.0.4* ***somewhat spoiler*** I love these puzzles it’s one of the first ones I’ve spent a lot of time on, it’s a lot like an escape room in a more realistic sense compared to most games. I kinda wish we could’ve saved Natalie, i immediately fell in love with her character, I was bawling like a baby when she died. I definitely think this game could be a lot better if there was a way to change it so she doesn’t die, add on, another part, choices changing outcomes. Overall amazing game. Would definitely recommend this game to my friends. ### 4/5 — Good *2023-11-23, version 1.0.4* Good game. Just need to make the controls a bit more simplified? Mabye add a in game notepad? Other than that it’s super fun. ### 5/5 — Best game ever *2023-11-19, version 1.0.4* I never write reviews for games, but this was truly amazing. It had a great storyline and I couldn’t stop playing it. Definitely recommend :) ### 5/5 — Lism = love it so much *2023-11-04, version 1.0.4* This game is fun but challenging ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — There are Fatal Bugs *2025-05-08, version 3.13* I started this game several years ago and then got distracted. I thought maybe I should restart it now so I can get back in the swing of things but revisiting the first mystery has a glitch where the first special clue pops up with the police chief saying there is a clue and you can’t get rid of that dialog to see what the clue is or progress in the game. I’ve only played the first seven levels so maybe it wasn’t that engaging anyhow. I’ll try again if there is an update to fix this problem, but can’t play until then. ### 1/5 — Bug prevents finishing FIRST investigation *2024-09-06, version 3.13* I have tried the first investigation twice, the one with the woman and the car below the bridge, and both times when the detective said to look at additional clues those close appeared UNDER the screen I was looking at. There doesn't seem to be a way to close the thing I need to close to get to the clues screen. I have an iPad Pro 12.9-inch from 2018 (3rd gen). I tried rotating the screen but it didn't fix the problem. ### 1/5 — Improbable Case Solving *2023-11-04, version 1.0.4* I like the idea of this game but I deleted app after solving first case. SPOILER (1st case): A woman dies in a car accident, 4 suspects only with two of her small children as two of the suspects (lol). Ok, you can then assume you have only 2 suspects. The game gives you a clue without asking for it, saying her husband has been in “years ago” for domestic violence. You can’t really find out more info regarding suspects or overall crime scene. You put in the husband as the culprit and boom, you solved a case! Game needs more writing. Who, what, where, why? You can’t accuse someone of committing a murder due to their violent past. ### 1/5 — Not good. Unreachable paths and confusion on what you have and have not read *2023-09-02, version 1.0.4* I couldn’t with this game. Having to click through the different possibilities without knowing where you have been. The options of what to read change each time and you can finalize the case without reading all of the case details. Deleting. ### 1/5 — In-App Purchase Never Received *2023-05-22, version 1.0.4* Bought clues and it still says 0 credits. And no way to contact a help line to ensure I get them or my money back ### 1/5 — Would be good except flaws/glitches *2023-04-10, version 1.0.4* Just like other reviews, I got to “Someone Sinister” and there was no way to proceed as it very quickly kept reporting the mission failed and John left the room. I was only able to play for a few minutes before the app was no longer playable. Also I recommend some type of menu during the investigations because navigating is tedious and some won’t let you go back to review certain evidence. ### 1/5 — Bug *2023-02-20, version 1.0.4* I just got this game and I’m in level “Someone sinister “. The game was fine until I got here there is no button to press “conclude investigation “ and it would say failed it’s not letting me move on to the other steps and I’m stuck in there I hope you can fix that I was really enjoying the game ### 1/5 — Terrifying *2022-09-08, version 1.0.4* This games’ photos are TERRIFYING. I’m not overreacting but even I was scared (I usually don’t get freaked out by these things). This game should not be for ages 12+ this will freak them out and I believe it should at least be 15+. The game itself is challenging but that is beside the point. Please change the photos my 13yo son was mortified. ### 1/5 — Money back please *2022-04-03, version 1.0.4* I paid 89p for 16 clues and I have been given no clues and no way of getting the money back I understand it’s only 89p but it isn’t the point I’d like it back please. ### 1/5 — Don’t download *2020-07-25, version 1.0.4* You can but I don’t want bc 1.it too scary (mostly jame is creepy) 2.too complicated ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fun and addictive *2026-08-11, version 3.13* I love it. It’s entertaining and fun. It really makes you use your brain a bit ### 5/5 — One of the best Murder Mystery games ever! *2026-06-07, version 3.13* I love this game so much! I love how challenging the game is, they don’t make it too easy or too hard, it is super, super fun and I highly recommend it! ### 5/5 — I love how you have to think *2025-09-29, version 3.13* This game is amazing! Also I really love how you actually need a brain to play and that it gives you good insight. I highly recommend it. But one thing I would like is like a little button to click to be able to write down things you want to remember. But other than that it is really great!! ### 5/5 — Love love love this game! *2025-08-10, version 3.13* But I lowkey found it scary at times! ### 5/5 — The mystery *2025-07-04, version 3.13* It is so fun it is hard and weird ### 5/5 — Really fun game and and I great time playing. *2025-05-03, version 3.13* It was an a amazing game. ### 5/5 — AWESOME *2025-03-24, version 3.13* AWESOME ### 5/5 — AMAZING *2024-11-05, version 3.13* this game is amazing and it’s very interesting so sigmaaaa very mindful very cutesy very demure ✨ ### 5/5 — Great game just number the mission’s! *2024-08-30, version 3.13* Love this game and the other 2. Viewed ads and paid money in to support the developer. Would love to spend my stars over the other 2 but anyway. Only thing I would like is the mission’s numbered so if I wanted to replay I could see the order again, or try the different paths. Apart from that it’s brilliant. ### 5/5 — I love for this game *2024-06-02, version 3.07* I live for this game love it --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
