Mini games are to abstract and directions are of little help. Story leaves a lot to be desired. ### 5/5 — 5 stars *2025-07-01* It’s a really nice game but plenty of puzzles at each step. It also doesn’t have any ads except for when you want to earn a coin. Although there isn’t much depth to the plot, the gameplay makes up for it. ### 5/5 — Five-bn *2025-06-07, version 1.1.6* Great gane love the graphics and suspense put in the games from fivebn. 👍🏼 ### 4/5 — Great game *2025-06-01* I would only mentioned that another item is needed before we could use another one that we try when right ### 5/5 — Relaxing and challenging *2025-05-01, version 1.1.6* I totally enjoy playing these games. It’s my down time ### 5/5 — Another gem *2025-04-23* Yet another fantastic game from this developer. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2025-04-14* Excellent jeu d’énigmes et de recherche ! Bravo ! Gratuit en plus ! ### 5/5 — Great fun *2025-03-14, version 1.1.6* 5 stars! I love the Five-BN puzzles. Some have intriguing stories as well as great puzzles (like New York games) while others focus on the puzzles (like Tricky Doors). Can’t go wrong for hours of fun. Thank you to the creators who provide wonderful graphics and interesting animation. ### 5/5 — Great game! *2025-02-28, version 1.1.6* Challenging but not too difficult ### 5/5 — 제작자분들 적게 일하고 많이 버세요 *2025-02-15* 최고에요 다른 방탈출게임에서 과금 엄청하다가 현타와서 지우고 방탈출게임 계속 찾고있었는데, 요즘 이것만 합니다 ### 5/5 — Thanks *2025-02-11* Thank you so much for these wonderful games. I have finished the whole series and I’m now addicted to this genre of online game. They are fun and clever and quite challenging. It’s good to see a developer that does not have adverts every 30 seconds of their game. thank you so much for making this particular series free. It has made me seek you out (5-BN) and I will be looking for more fun things from you as even my kids like getting involved with this. ### 5/5 — 개혜자!!!! *2025-01-29* 과금없이 이렇게 탈출게임을 할수있다니!! 행복합니다!!😁😊 ### 5/5 — 素晴らしいゲーム *2025-01-16* エネルギー設定も無く広告も無く無課金でこのクオリティーは素晴らしいです！ とっても楽しんでプレイしています ### 5/5 — 너무 아쉬운 게임 *2024-12-27* 끝나가는게 너무 아쉬워요😢 더 하고 싶은데😂 맵이 다른게임에 비해 넓은것도 아닌데 한맵에서 해야하는 미니게임이나 아이템 찾아야할게 많아서 엄청 오래 걸렸어요ㅎㅎ ### 5/5 — Why can’t I buy? *2024-09-21* Update: it’s been years since I’ve played and am crushed there were only a few games collector’s addition available.. on top of that I’ve purchased almost all your CE games previously and I had to repurchase again!! That’s crappy. And I really despise the F2P game standard! Why not just give your players a choice to buy or free play? You still produce the best quality games out of any other competitors. Love them,,!! You usually put your games out for purchase at 6.99$. I don’t care for this “FTP” stuff as the map is really useless and doesn’t tell you where available actions are waiting. I don’t want to pay for hints and there’s definitely not many free ones! Same as skipping a puzzle, you have to pay. I love your games more than any other developer so I guess I just feel disappointed you’re releasing them like this. My memory is so bad from cancer treatments these days it’s hard to recall where I need to be in the game at times so I need the hint, useful map and skip but not if I have to constantly pay for them. Please release them as purchase to play. I’m a long time fan and hate to give a bad review when I know the game probably rocks! ### 5/5 — Great game *2024-09-07, version 1.1.6* I love the story behind all the mystery games. I hope they keep making more of them. The puzzles are great ### 5/5 — New York is the best! *2024-07-08, version 1.1.6* It was so fun but I didn’t like how much the hints were I kept messing up and giv8ng up but know what they say give up wont help but keep on,and what 8 liked about it is having all the meanings and how to know what hints used for ### 5/5 — Excellent Games *2024-05-13* I love Big Fish games, definitely a trusted group of gamers. I have played quite a few of their different adventure games. I know the quality of the game and the intriguing puzzles. Graphics are also beautiful. New York Mysteries are right up there with the rest of their fantastic games. I would definitely recommend this series of adventures. Thank you Big Fish for being a trusted go to adventure games group ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — バグが出て進められない *2025-05-10* 秘密結社で、ドアの鍵穴に灯油で湿らせた紙糸を入れて、燃料を入れたライターで着火させるイベントが全く起きない。再起動しても正常にならない。iPad では正常に動かない！ ### 1/5 — Can’t finish *2025-04-04, version 1.1.6* Have twice gotten to the point where she fires the flare and game resets. Cannot finish and will not go back thru again knowing it will probably happen again. ### 1/5 — Love these games *2024-02-03, version 1.1.6* Unfortunately this one has a glitch. It will not let me use the “protective mask, acid and mirror where the alarm is. ### 1/5 — Glitch *2024-01-20, version 1.1.6* Couldn’t open the safe near the end of the game. This is the third game by five B N that I have not been able to finish due to same type of glitch right before the end of the game. It’s really annoying! ### 1/5 — Charging for hints??? *2023-11-29* I’d rather not play if you’re going to be so cheap. Love these games. Shame on your greed ### 1/5 — Impossible *2023-10-30, version 1.1.3* Even with a walk through, no way to complete. Puzzles are good, though. ### 1/5 — CM泥棒 *2022-08-16* CM見ないとタッチしても先に進まないのですが？ **Developer response:** Hi, sorry to hear about it, let us know more about your problem at support@five-bn.com and attach some screenshots as well, please. Waiting for your request, have a nice day! ### 1/5 — 時計の針が動かない *2022-08-02* いつも楽しく遊んでいますが、時計の針を動かすところで針が動かなくなりました。パズルだとスキップ出来ますが、このような場合には対処出来ずにプレイを諦めるしかありません。他のシリーズでも同じような事があったので、バグをなおしていただけるとうれしいです。 **Developer response:** Hi, sorry to hear about it, let us know more about your problem at support@five-bn.com and attach some screenshots as well, please. Waiting for your request, have a nice day! ### 1/5 — Horrível *2022-04-25* Minha filha de 10 anos baixou e veio reclamar para mim, ELA NUNCA TINHA RECLAMADO DE NADA ANTES, JOGO HORRÍVEL **Developer response:** Good day! It's a pity you didn't like it! Thanks for playing. We hope you enjoy our other games more! Have a nice day! ### 1/5 — Stopped working *2022-03-11, version 1.0.9* It stopped working when I insert the key on the safe door in the Travis’ house. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-07-09, version 1.1.6* I play sooo many puzzle games like this but this is top three amazing.The creator poured his soul into this game!! ### 5/5 — Un régal *2026-07-02* J’ai fait tous les jeux five bn games et je les refais encore avec beaucoup de plaisir. Et la série des New York mysteries en fait partie. Et j’attends chaque fois avec impatience les nouvelles sorties d’artifact seekers et de tricky doors.. merci pour ces très bons moments ### 5/5 — New York Mysteries *2026-04-24* Wenn man überlegt was für ein Aufwand hinter einem solchen Spiel steckt, sehe ich 2,99 € für ein paar Tipps als absolut faires Angebot von den Entwicklern an. ### 5/5 — Empfehlenswert *2026-04-13* Habe schon 4 Teile durch, gut gemacht, gut durchdacht, manchmal mit etwas Hilfe, weiter so. ### 5/5 — Great stuff *2026-03-24* Totally enjoyable harder than 3 but because I’m not so young these days walk through was useful. Nice work again guys ### 5/5 — やっぱり面白い！ *2026-03-06* シリーズ1と3は日本語訳なし、2と4は日本語訳ありなのが謎すぎるんですけど、日本語訳があるとストーリーに没入しやすくてとても楽しいです！ ### 5/5 — Love all the NY series *2026-01-15, version 1.1.6* This is such a good series. They have good story lines. I’m having a blast with them. ### 5/5 — Anita *2025-11-18, version 1.1.6* I totally love these games, played nearly all the New York Mysteries. Great puzzles and graphics. Stories are fab. ### 5/5 — Great fun *2025-10-17, version 1.1.6* 5 stars! I love the Five-BN puzzles. Some have intriguing stories as well as great puzzles (like New York Mystery series) while others focus on the puzzles (like Tricky Doors). Can’t go wrong for hours of fun. Thank you to the creators who provide wonderful graphics and interesting animation. ### 5/5 — Enjoyable *2025-08-30* I played all the way through..including bonus chapter..Puzzles were normal difficulty.;some were pretty fun. It was a nice break from the usual button puzzles(where you slide one..3 others slide with it.)..Five-bn..have some pretty innovative ideas. The storyline was pretty good too,along with cut scenes. I especially enjoyed watching driving 😊 👍 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
