Schade, die Spiele sind ansonsten toll, ich mag auch diese Reihe. ### 3/5 — Cheaters *2026-06-30, version 1.0.8* I’m playing without paying. Although they allow you to watch ads to collect hints when you try to watch an ad it tells you no ads available. Trying for two days but I will not give up. When I finally,y am able to watch ad and get one clue it directs me to click on an area that I’ve already clicked on a hundred times. Therefore they are cheaters. Please don’t respond with some foolish excuse. I’m playing because I like these games but I am on you your tactics ### 3/5 — Expensive *2026-01-15, version 1.0.8* Love everything about this but I’m not going to pay a ridiculous amount for clues. This game is set up to extract money first and fun secondly. ### 4/5 — Mini games/puzzles *2025-08-28, version 1.0.8* The ones through out the game are ridiculously easy. When you’re finished if you’ve collected the achievements..you can do jigsaws..other mini games(not in the game) The downside, if you haven’t collected all of them..Instead of opening the existing game..(to collect the rest-going through each frame)…No matter the button you press-OK or start-over.. You have to start all over again?! ### 4/5 — New York mysteries *2024-07-01, version 1.0.8* It was so fun that I won every time,it’s fun so thank you for the game ### 4/5 — Macht spaß, bis auf den einen Fehler *2024-04-19* Nach den ersten zwei Teilen habe ich eine gewisse Routine bekommen und verstehe dIE Steuerung des Spiels besser, auch wiederholen sich bestimmte Muster. Dadurch spielt es sich flüssiger. Auch das storytelling ist irgendwie besser und vor allem die Karte ist WESENTLICH übersichtlicher geworden.. einen Punkt ziehe ich dennoch ab, weil zu einem Rätselspiel eine wichtige Andeutung fehlt, die in der englischen Version vorhanden ist und ohne diesen Hinweis ein lösen selbstständig nicht möglich ist. Das war wohl ein kleiner Fehler. **Developer response:** Please contact us at support@fivebngames.com and attach the screenshot of the Fehler you experienced as soon as possible! ### 5/5 — Un régal *2024-03-21* Cette série de jeu est un pur régal vivement la suite ! J’ai personnellement été moins transporté par le 3ème, le seul que j’ai moins aimé et que je trouvais un peu plus difficile mais sinon ils sont tous géniaux ! ### 5/5 — One of the best games ever *2024-02-16, version 1.0.8* The only reason it’s not the best is because sometimes it does tell me what to do on some of the puzzles so I have to look it up but overall it’s a great game ### 5/5 — A must! *2024-01-14, version 1.0.8* Just played the whole series, from 1 to 5, and I loved it! ### 4/5 — Genial *2023-12-28* J’adore cette série bravo pour le super taff ! On est totalement absorbée par l’enquête et À fond dans la team Laura ! Juste je suis bloquée dans le bureau de Bishop par un bug qui m’empêche de ranger les livres et de continuer l’aventure 😤😭. Des jeux sans pubs intempestives et qui ne se limite pas à un nombre de vie, c’est trop rare pour le noter 😉 ### 2/5 — Good puzzles but walkthrough needed *2023-10-21, version 1.0.7* The puzzles where excellent but to get to them you very much need a walkthrough. In fact the walkthrough person had a hard to “walk through “. ### 5/5 — Great series of games *2023-08-16, version 1.0.7* Still loving the mysteries, characters, stories and puzzles to solve. My ideal game! Just wish I could listen to podcasts while I play - nothing wrong with the music(it suits the games quite well), just like to multitask (especially during puzzles, not plot)! ### 5/5 — 방탈출 게임 중 탑티어예요; *2023-08-07* 이정도 퀄리티에 무료게임이라니 감사할 지경입니다 제가 해본 방탈출 게임 중에 손에 꼽히게 재밌어요ㅠ 스토리도 지루하지 않고 퍼즐 난이도도 정말 적절히 잘 구성되어 있다고 느꼈고요 1편부터 차례대로 깨는 중인데 그래픽이나 게임의 요소들이 점점 발전하는걸 보는 재미도 있습니다ㅋㅋㅋ 방탈출 게임 좋아하는 사람들한텐 그냥 무조건 추천해요👍 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Pay as you go system is a scam *2026-04-30, version 1.0.8* I refuse to play the pay as you go for hints games. Absolute ripoff! Flat fee is fine, but this system is a scam. ### 1/5 — Major glitch *2026-01-14, version 1.0.8* Can’t use axe on wall with golden rays so can’t progress and having to delete the game. Frustrating! ### 1/5 — Excellent game until show stopping bug. *2025-03-25, version 1.0.8* This is an addicting, mind scrambling, wonderful game. I love games that: test one’s memory, search for this and find that, use objects to progress through the storyline, detective work, puzzle games, etc. I believe I’m around 93% completed on the main game. I’m at the: hidden object section, Empire State Building and it’s what I have named the lightbulb bug. When I went to the lamp and clicked on the lampshade area, the game allowed me to collect one of the objects and I immediately clicked on the lightbulb thinking I would need it… But the game cleared that screen as if that area was completed. I searched and searched that entire room and there’s no other lightbulb and I tried a hint… The hint takes me to the area where one needs to place the lightbulb and it’s not in my inventory. I hope the developers create a patch to fix this show stopping bug because I cannot progress and complete the main game and move onto the bonus section. If it were not for this bug, definitely five stars. ### 1/5 — Usually love these games but the not-zee memorabilia in this game omg *2024-10-31, version 1.0.8* Insane ### 1/5 — New York mysteries 3 *2023-10-06, version 1.0.7* I have bought extra coins for clues and it won’t let me use any!!! ### 1/5 — New York 3 *2022-09-11, version 1.0.6* Played many games like this . This is the first one that , when you use a hint it takes you where you can use more hints . I deleted it because I got tired of watching ads for hints . ### 1/5 — Basically amusing buț........ *2021-06-27* Prinzipiell ein amüsantes Spiel so wie auch die anderen diese Reihe. Leider hängt das Spiel aufgrund eines Programmfehlers in der Mitte. Man kommt dann einfach nicht mehr weiter, da sich eine bestimmte Schranktür nicht öffnet. Schade, dadurch ist dieses Spiel unspielbar auf meinem Gerät (aktuelles ipad pro). Basically an amusing game like the others in this series. Unfortunately the game hangs in the middle due to a program error. You just can't get any further because a certain cabinet door doesn't open. Too bad, this makes this game unplayable on my device (current ipad pro). **Developer response:** Hi, we're sorry to hear that you faced such a problem. Please, tell us more at support@fivebn.com and our Support team will do their best to assist you quickly and effectively!

Have a good day! ### 1/5 — Hints cost money *2021-04-13, version 1.0.2* I don’t think these games should charge for hints. Unless you are sure you won’t need hint or want to skip puzzles, don’t but this game. Not worth it. ### 2/5 — Hints *2025-06-04, version 1.0.8* Please please let me get another hint. I love the game but I’m stuck now and need a hint desperately ### 2/5 — Kein schönes Thema aber gute Spielreihe *2024-06-25* Ich finde New York 1 und 2 besser als das dritte. Am meisten stört mich Mäuseversuche Labormäuse und das Zeichnungen dazu vorhanden sind. Ich finde Tierversuche schrecklich natürlich weiß ich das es sie gibt aber ich will nicht in einem Spiel damit konfrontiert werden. Ich finde es auch nicht schön das die Maus neben den Objekten wie ein Objekt dargestellt wird. Ich hab es nicht zu ende gespielt. Die Kartenansicht fand ich bei den anderen besser und die farbigen Symbole auf der Karte funktionieren nicht. Dennoch finde ich die Reihe der Spiele gut und gelungen. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — THE BEST SEARCH AND FIND GAME *2026-07-20, version 1.0.8* I am obsessed with the series. The search and find are really well done what even better is the details in the graphics which heightens the search. And the history behind the game is genuinely impressive ### 5/5 — Empfehlenswert *2026-04-13* Nicht zu leicht, nicht zu schwer, so macht das Spaß. ### 5/5 — Nice game🖤 *2025-07-22, version 1.0.8* It free ### 5/5 — 존잼 *2025-04-21* 완)개추천 ### 5/5 — 반복해서 하고있는 게임 *2024-12-25* 여기 회사게임 한번씩 다 끝내고 다시 하는중이에요😀 할때마다 재밌어요!! ### 5/5 — Super jeu d’enquête et PAS DE PUBS !!!! *2024-12-19* Super jeu d’enquête et PAS DE PUBS !!!! Quelques fois les casses têtes sont de véritables casses têtes pour le coup mais sinon rien à dire de plus, une fois qu’on commence on ne veux plus s’arrêter ! ### 5/5 — 좋아요 *2024-12-15* 1은 보너스게임 난이도가 너무 높아 하다가 지웠는데 2부터는 너무 좋네요 굉장히 혜자스러운 방탈출 게임입니다 ### 5/5 — 빨리 새로운걸 주세요… *2024-07-31* 기다리기 너무 힘드네요…. ### 5/5 — Love this series *2024-05-05, version 1.0.8* Challenging and interesting enough to play multiple times, great storylines, my very favourite game developers ### 5/5 — Absolutely phenomenal *2024-03-27, version 1.0.8* This game is truly riveting and brings the true spirit of mystery complexity and adventure. Combined with the thrilling soundtrack and storyline and graphics. 15 out of 10 stars. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
