However, I can’t get past part of it because it won’t reset. So I’ve wasted a few days to not be able to finish the game, so bummed. It’s the hidden objects to the TV’s with the VHS tapes. The last part before you get the adapter. ### 5/5 — Super solving games *2025-11-30, version 1.1.0* The usual great-quality game play from BM Games. No time pressures and no ads unless you want to buy additional clues. Good graphics and an entertaining narrative. I can’t get enough of their games. Check out Lost Lands and Artefact Seekers for more of the same! ### 5/5 — Challenging and narrative driven *2025-10-19, version 1.1.0* A good game, challenging, interesting narrative, but not long-winded. ### 5/5 — Really Good. New creative puzzles. *2025-10-14, version 1.1.0* Such a solid series. Very fair monetary system. ### 5/5 — Great puzzles *2025-10-11, version 1.1.0* Thank you Five BN for another great game. I am replaying this one after a couple of years so it seems fresh. After playing all your similar games (and waiting for something new), I am still impressed with the remarkable quality. They are so much fun: most of the puzzles have a logic base (which I love) and all are varied, all games have amazing graphics, interesting stories, mood music, and the hidden objects have a purpose. ### 5/5 — 너무 재미있어요 ^^ *2025-10-06* 무료라는게 믿기지않을만큼 퀼리티가 좋아요 ! 시간가는줄 모르고 재미있게 게임했습니다 ! ### 5/5 — Very good *2025-08-31, version 1.1.0* Has kept me entertained all the to the end. Keep up the good work 😀👍 ### 5/5 — Perfect! *2025-08-20, version 1.1.0* Really great!!! The better one in this kind! 👌🏻 ### 5/5 — How Games should be *2025-08-07, version 1.1.0* Really enjoying this series. Longing for these type of games since PC days of great games ### 2/5 — パンチカード *2025-07-16* 面白くて時間を忘れてしまっています　　　　しかし　今　パンチカードを入れたのに　入れていないことになっていて　先へ進めません ### 5/5 — GG *2025-04-30, version 1.1.0* Great game ### 5/5 — Muito massa *2025-04-25* Te prende do início ao fim ### 5/5 — 10/10 *2025-04-22, version 1.1.0* A really great game, have had fun and no issues. Had to come and rate it. ### 3/5 — 몇년전에 웹사이트에서 했엇는데 *2025-04-18* 핸드폰으로 해서 반가움ㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎ없어져서 아쉬웠는데ㅠㅠ근데 뭔가연결할때범위를 넓혀줬으면 좋겠음 핸드폰이라 연결이 잘 안돼서 짜증남 재밋긴한대 완) ### 5/5 — Would highly recommend!!! *2025-04-15, version 1.1.0* Some puzzles can be a little be challenging but makes it worth the game! There’s no annoying ads so you can really focus on solving the puzzles. The game is highly enjoyable. ### 5/5 — NY Mysteries games *2025-04-02, version 1.1.0* Hello I am so elated to say I have found a game that I cannot put down. I played the NEW YORK mystery game 1; I could not put this game down until I was nearly finished. Like it was said you put yourself in the place of the detective and you interact. A great game. thank you ### 5/5 — New York Mysteries *2025-03-30, version 1.1.0* Reasons for playing this game. You’re putting a position to respond as if though you’re the woman going through the adventure so you have to interact in her place where it calls for it. Doing this makes you have to problem solve as if though you’re actually the one in the adventure. The graphics are amazingly done. Although I’ve played this game before I’ve lost count. I still am amazed at how everything feels so authentic down to the rust on a pipe. The storyline in the game is one of a supernatural origin. I feel as if though I’m in a supernatural adventure. ### 5/5 — Parfait *2025-03-23* Histoire hyper bien ficelée, énigmes et mini-jeux difficiles juste ce qu’il faut, et surtout quel bonheur de ne pas avoir à attendre pour de l’énergie ou devoir regarder milles pub pour avancer. C’est un plaisir d’avoir accès à des jeux comme celui ci ! Merci :)) ### 5/5 — Best game ever *2025-03-13, version 1.1.0* This is the best game I have ever played👏 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — It pauses your music?!!! *2025-12-17* I couldnt really play it because it doesnt let you listen to spotify on the background and the game doesnt even have music! ### 1/5 — Game glitch *2024-11-12, version 1.1.0* I was really enjoying this game until I was at a point of getting a hop for the first time for something I really needed and when I touched the hop it disappeared. Now I can’t get all the important things I need to move on. Very disappointing! ### 1/5 — Another glitchy game. *2022-07-30, version 1.0.7* What a shame. This is the second game I have tried by this company. Did well until putting the code into the briefcase under the truck. Nothing happened. Could not move on with the game which is very disappointing. ### 1/5 — Bug at end, can’t finish :( Great game but bit dark. *2022-06-26, version 1.0.7* The graphics, puzzles etc are great but a bug (as others have mentioned) has ruined it - can’t finish literally the end after hours of playing. The eagle template won’t be accepted by the safe in the last room!? Even selecting the right coloured lights won’t trigger it to open :( So disappointing. (I do think the topic is a bit extreme and dark too; but the game itself in interactivity is great.) ### 1/5 — So Disappointed *2022-04-23, version 1.0.6* I’ve played this series before and was so looking forward to this game. Well, what a disappointment. The game came to a screeching halt about 5 minutes in when I couldn’t find a string for the flag in the souvenir shop. Hints cost coins and don’t show where the string is. This “Collectors” edition has no guide. So that’s it. Can’t go forward and restarting doesn’t fix the problem. Just as well if I threw the money out the window. **Developer response:** Hi. It's how it works. The main chapter is available for free, but the bonus chapter is for purchase. The price of the bonus chapter unlock is much lower than the full version price. Also, the use of the “Hint” and “Skip” buttons costs coins, which can be purchased from the store. Good for players who are up to challenge and like solving puzzles. ### 1/5 — Não consigo finalizar por problemas do jogo. *2021-11-09* Não aceita a última pista e não aceita quando aperto as luzes certas do pássaro. Impossível finalizar o jogo por conta desse erro. ### 1/5 — It’s got a bug *2021-10-27, version 1.0.5* The game has stopped working for me at one puzzle. I’ve checked the walkthroughs as well to see if I’m making any mistakes, but even that doesn’t work. The puzzle is the arrow click cupboard one in the corridor before the pump room. ### 1/5 — Bug *2021-08-26, version 1.0.5* So close to finishing the game but it won’t let me use the template on the eagle puzzle which is where it is needed. Very disappointed that I won’t be able to finish the game. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2021-05-08, version 1.0.3* Loved the game until my hints froze. The game works just fine, but access to my hints is frozen. It shows minus 1 but I have 47 hints still available. I usually don’t buy hints on games, but this game was so interesting and challenging...lesson learned. ### 1/5 — Too hard basket *2021-03-09, version 1.0.3* Making the game overly difficult so you’ll be forced to buy coins for hints, can’t see where active items are on maps, can’t see active items on the screen. Just to tedious - constantly going back and forth between screens trying to get anything to work. This game is not fun. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Spill the tea *2026-08-03, version 1.1.0* This is the best game if you love murder mysteries play this game it’s fun and soooooooooo entertaining defo 5 stars ⭐️ ### 5/5 — New York Mysteries 1 & 2 *2026-07-30, version 1.1.0* Throughly enjoying these games so much fun 🤩 ### 5/5 — やりがいあった！ *2026-03-03* 1は日本語訳がなくてストーリーの細かいところがわからないまま手探りで終わったんですが、2は日本語訳があってストーリーも十分楽しめました。 パズルもさほど難しくなく進めやすくて、広いマップを飛び交いながらとてもやりがいがありました。 ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-03-02, version 1.1.0* This game is sooo much fun… reminds me of playing Myst back in the day lol. ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-02-05, version 1.1.0* I’ve been enjoying the game so far ### 5/5 — Fun game great developer *2026-01-22, version 1.1.0* I’ve never been disappointed with any five-bn games. ### 5/5 — Absolut empfehlenswert!!! *2026-01-21* Ebenso wie Legendary Tales ist auch diese Reihe absolut fesselnd und super gut gemacht. Das mit Abstand beste Spiel seit Baphomets Fluch…und das ist schon Ewigkeiten her. Habe lange nach solchen Spielen gesucht und bin endlich fündig geworden. Da zahlt man gerne auch mal ein paar Euros für nützliche Tipps falls man doch mal hängen bleibt. ### 5/5 — Really fun *2026-01-14, version 1.1.0* Challenging and engaging ### 5/5 — Bn games is the best HOG studio in App Store *2026-01-10, version 1.1.0* Absolutely love all your series, played all of them, best stories, puzzles, great balance between text and gameplay, everything is on great level ### 5/5 — Great story *2026-01-03, version 1.1.0* This is such a fun game. The story lines is great. On NY 2 now. The puzzles are just hard enough to be frustrating but easy enough to eventually get. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
