Bro I was opening a create and tell me why it has a puzzle to open it after I used a key? But overall great game. I love the story so far! ### 2/5 — バグなの？って思うくらい *2026-07-10* 橋を直すために重りを10個探さないといけないとこで、 どこ探しても見つからない！ 画面の端から端を連打しても見つからない！ 攻略動画見たけど置いてる場所はランダムなの？って感じで動画見ても参考にならず、とりあえず動画通り探してみても最後の1個がどうしても見つからなかったのでムカついてやめました！ あと、パズルとかがとにかく面倒なものが多く、スキップする為にはコイン50枚が必要で、下手すると広告を10回見ないといけないハメに… ゲームの進行途中に無理やり広告入ったりしないので、それは良いのですが、面倒なら広告見てね！って感じの面倒な作りのパズルが多く、げんなりしてやめました。 無料ゲームなので広告を見せてなんぼ！なのはわかるのですが😓 ゲームとしては、謎解きするのにスタミナとかは無く、得意な人ならどんどん進められると思うので、その辺は親切だと思いました。 **Developer response:** Thank you for your comment.

Couldn’t see hidden items because they were so tiny and disappeared into the background making some of the puzzles hair pulling to play ### 3/5 — They’re games are good, but *2026-06-26, version 4.0.0* I purchased the free hints and mini puzzle solves for 19.99, however, it only applies to this specific game If you download other episodes, you’d have to spend another 19.99 - not worth it to me ### 3/5 — Part two is flawed *2026-06-25, version 4.0.0* Can’t get the coins needed to use in the pawnshop ### 2/5 — Puzzles Get Boring and Tedious *2026-06-11, version 4.0.0* Pretty intriguing stories and decent graphics but most of the puzzles are too stupidly challenging and not interesting or fun. Just deleted the app. ### 4/5 — Great *2026-05-18, version 3.0.1* I haven’t got a good memory but the clues help. Quite entertaining ### 3/5 — First puzzle *2026-04-14, version 3.0.1* Agreed with another reviewer that the gate door puzzle was hard. I see potential but ended up deleting the game after an hour on the same one. Will try another game of theirs, though ### 4/5 — well made but challenging *2026-02-20, version 3.0.1* the game, music, rain, aesthetic, all of it amazing. it’s just so hard ); some of the task were impossible ### 5/5 — LOVE *2026-01-21, version 3.0.1* As a “pro” at adventure escape type games I struggle to find ones that are challenging enough to keep me interested. Have been playing for 10ish hours. Love it. ### 5/5 — Great Game *2026-01-17, version 3.0.1* I beat all three levels in 3 days bc I was absolutely obsessed. This game was challenging, yet not frustratingly so. Rather than being forced to buy gems or hints, you can simply watch an add. Super cool game. Will definitely be watching for more like it. ### 3/5 — Bloqué au niveau 2 *2025-12-16* Super jeux en général mais nous sommes bloqués au niveau 2 comme beaucoup de joueurs **Developer response:** Thank you for reaching out. Please contact us at support@fivebngames.com so we can look into this issue and assist you further. ### 5/5 — Adoro todos *2025-12-05* Todos dessa produtora são ótimos ### 5/5 — When will Mystery Detective Adventure 2 be released?? *2025-11-29, version 3.0.1* Great game! Will there be a Mystery Detective Adventure 2? ### 5/5 — Well done and creative *2025-11-29, version 3.0.1* I love it. Thank you. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Chapter 2 GLITCHES *2026-07-05* Game will not allow you to access the cemetary. Woman in pawn shop odd text. Won’t allow you to collect coins in trailer to purchase tokens in pawn shop. Hence, the game will not progress. I purchased coins and have now lost them. Worst game from FIVE BN. Please help! **Developer response:** We appreciate your feedback. Please contact us at support@fivebngames.com with the details, and we'll be happy to help you move forward in the game. ### 1/5 — One star for overriding music apps *2026-05-23, version 4.0.0* There is no reason that you have to make your game override music apps so we can't listen to our own music when playing it. ### 1/5 — Bug *2026-05-16* Hi, I seem to think I cannot continue on because I think it’s a bug but I got to 70% ish and I need to access the cemetery but I cannot and all videos show the next steps are in cemetery please help **Developer response:** Hello! Please try using the Hint button, as it should eventually guide you toward the cemetery area and the next required steps. If the Hint system does not lead you anywhere or seems stuck as well, please contact us at support@fivebngames.com with more details so we can look into the situation more carefully. ### 1/5 — Unsolvable puzzle *2026-02-23, version 3.0.1* I am on the lights out puzzle with the books and it is not solvable I even got ChatGPT to try to do it for me and we spent 45 minutes trying to figure it out just for chat to tell me that this is unsolvable and I refuse to spend anymore money on these ridiculously hard puzzles. ### 1/5 — Chapter 2 Needs To Be Fixed *2026-02-07, version 3.0.1* Very upset you all need to fix chapter 2, there is bug that refuses to let me go to cemetery I restarted the chapter and followed a walkthrough step by step which I hate doing and the game still won’t let me do what I need to do. How can I finish a story if it doesn’t work. Please Fix ### 1/5 — A revoir *2025-08-31* Des pubs des pubs et des pubs. Si vous bloquez sur un jeu vous devez visionner des pubs à n en plus finir. Elles vous rapportent 5 points et il en faut 50 pour passer un jeu difficile ou les explications sont aléatoires. Donc ras le bol. Sinon on paye donc revoyez ces conditions. Et donner au moins 10 points par pub visionnée. ### 1/5 — Warning, occult references! *2025-04-13, version 3.0.1* Highly disappointed to see this game include the use of pentagrams and occult rituals. I will never download a game from this company again. ### 1/5 — Puzzle with no logic *2024-12-22* Near the end in chapter three is a safe in cabin. Substitute no for cog, screw and nut. If you do this and make it work for equations then substitute for the sums. Well I did that still didn’t work. Nothing else I can do, you can’t fix a solution that is right. I developers would stop using math puzzles in pictorial based games. Stopped me completing game. Ruined what I enjoyed will not download another game again by this developer. Great shame was quite good till then **Developer response:** Hi there! We’d be happy to help—please contact us at support@fivebngames.com for more details. ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2024-11-09, version 1.1.3* I’ve played all your games, but this one was a complete disappointment. I paid full price for this game and you did not include a strategy guide. No hints to do a puzzle and all the going back and forth to collect items. I was disappointed as well with lost lands 9. Seems like your going backwards with your games. Hopefully your next release will be more of what your devoted players expect from you. I noticed you did an update to add descriptions for mini games. How about a strategy guide? ### 1/5 — Não baixem, jogo com vários problemas. *2024-09-22* O jogo está com problemas e em dado momento simplesmente não permite que você avance, então fica empacado. Não consegui falar com a moça da loja, não consegui coletar as moedas do carro, não consegui as rosas pra entrar no cemitério. Tudo isso por erro no jogo. Frustrante. Desinstalei. **Developer response:** Good day! You do not need to talk to the lady right now and enter the cem if you are at the very beginning of the second part, try to continue on, please. You will need the metal roses much later in the game. In case you experienced it at the end of the chapter 2, please contact us at support@fivebngames.com for sharing more information. Thank you! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 좋은데 번역이.. *2026-08-10* 내용도 너무 좋고 재밌어요. 그런데 술집 주인 아들 살인사건에서 한국어 번역이 너무 눈살 찌푸려지는 단어들로 나와서 보기 불편했어요. 그냥 영어로 플레이했습니다.. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2026-07-20* Comme d’habitude un jeu pleins de surprises, des graphismes de qualité, une histoire prenante. ### 5/5 — 2が発売されたので急いでやってました。 *2026-07-13* 2がリリースされたので全部プレイしました。とにかくボリュームがエグくてちまちまやってて気付いたら1週間かかってました。 全部で3つのストーリーがあるんですけど、どれも進める毎にワクワクが止まらなかったです。 2つ目のストーリーでアイテムの場所がどうしても分からなくて初期分のヒントコイン全部使ってしまい、しかも、灯台下暗しでゲンナリしたりしましたけどそれもまた醍醐味。 謎解きはどれもそんな難しくも簡単でもないちょうど良い塩梅でした。 1つ難しい要素としてコレクションアイテムの配置が中々テクニカルだったんですよね…。ちゃんとズームした先も念入りに調べないと全部発見は厳しい。 最後の謎解きはかなり焦ったので気になった人は是非プレイしてみてください。 あと、3000円課金すれば難易度選択が増えるらしいです。 ### 5/5 — When? *2026-06-27* When are you going to come out with a new adventure? What taking you ages to create a new one? Don’t make us wait longer, please! I really enjoyed your games. Looking forward to seeing more adventures and mysteries! ### 5/5 — Very fun, clever *2026-06-19, version 4.0.0* 1st and 2nd were especially good. Please make another with more female characters ### 5/5 — Favourite *2026-06-18* Still waiting for a sequel! **Developer response:** Good day, please email us at support@fivebngames.com for sharing more information: which puzzle is the problem that the hint points to, but it has already been passed (please attach the screenshot as well) and specify which MG you passed before the count told you about it, preferably attaching also a screenshot of the MG. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Can you please have one with no coins *2026-05-04, version 3.0.1* I love these kinds of Games brings back memories of Dana Kingston Novel can make one without the coins please just one ### 5/5 — Brilliant! *2026-04-26* Ein kleines Meisterwerk! Die Grafik, die Musik, die Charaktere und das gesamte Storytelling sind herausragend gut. Vor allem muss man aber auch das Voice acting loben! Die englischen Stimmen hier sind so viel angenehmer als die üblichen amerikanischen Stimmen bei anderen Spielen. Und manche der Grafiken hier sind wirklich kleine Kunstwerke. Wie es die Designer schaffen, bis ins letzte Detail eine stimmige Atmosphäre zu schaffen, ist wirklich beeindruckend! Allerdings ist eins der Rätsel derartig schwer, dass ich kurz davor war aufzugeben! Ich hab mich aber durchgebissen und es hat sich gelohnt! Bitte unbedingt eine Fortsetzung! Danke! ### 5/5 — This game deserves a whole series! *2026-03-09* Definitely need more games in this series! Love all of the games you put out, played them all but this series needs more! ### 5/5 — Bom! *2026-02-25* Jogo muito legal! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
