No other app causes my phone to heat up like this. The phone becomes too hot to touch, so I am deleting the game. ### 1/5 — Security Issue? *2023-02-12, version 1.1.5* Game does not load, only a “title page” opened, then it opened my web browser to a 3rd party site which told me to download the game. Is this an attempt to bypass the Apple Store’s security and game validation? I immediately deleted the game. ### 2/5 — Don’t download *2023-01-12, version 1.1.5* Don’t download if you hate ads. There is one after every mistake you make.. this is filled with ads. Another ap that wants to take your money ### 1/5 — It's a good game, the ads though *2023-01-09, version 1.1.5* The overall game is great but the one thing is just the ammount of ads is annoying, I'd rather spend my time doing something else ### 1/5 — Gave it 2 now 1 *2023-01-05, version 1.1.5* I found a way around the ads, which works in many games. Just exit the game and it’s less time to get back in than it is to watch the ad. Though, I have to say there are better mystery/detective apps on here that I’d even pay for. Had to delete. Thanks for the effort. ### 2/5 — Ok *2022-12-11, version 1.1.5* It’s an ok game but almost unplayable because of all the ads. ### 1/5 — ads, Ads, ADS! *2022-08-23, version 1.1.5* The amount of ads ruin the entire thing, you spend more time trying to skip the ads than the actual gameplay. Awful ### 4/5 — It’s good but… *2022-08-11, version 1.1.5* It is a fun game but there are a lot of ads in it. ### 4/5 — Some Clues Too Small *2022-06-21, version 1.1.5* Need more detail and clearer drawings for some clues. A razor blade may have been in a broken packet, a man’s picture in a photograph on the desk??? All too small and vague. Too many ads interrupting too. Otherwise, great game! ### 1/5 — OMG THE ADS MAKE IT STOP *2022-06-21, version 1.1.5* Completely unplayable due to the insane number of ads constantly popping up/interrupting play. Held out as long as I could bc the tiny amount of actual game time was pretty promising but ultimately gave up bc it was wayyyy too much. Please reduce the number of ads so I can redownload! ### 2/5 — Too many ads *2022-01-25, version 1.1.5* It is a fun game but you spend more time watching ads than playing the game. The ads are not only too long but disrupt the game. Maybe if the ads were in between, instead of playing just about every move you make. Will be deleting because there are other games that don’t make you watch so many ads to play the game ### 4/5 — Too many ads *2022-01-07, version 1.1.5* The game is fun and addicting, but you have to watch an ad every time you answer two questions in a case. I think it would better if you place an ad after the player finishes the case, so that way the player doesn’t get annoyed every time at having been interrupted when they’re trying to find clues to a case. ### 3/5 — Ads *2022-01-03, version 1.1.5* Ok game but way too many ads. Would enjoy it more if there weren’t so many ads. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Didn’t work *2025-12-04, version 1.1.5* As soon as I opened the game it was stuck on the pocket mystery screen I tapped everywhere I even refreshed the app and turned my phone off and back on and it didn’t work. I was looking forward to playing this game but by the reviews I don’t think I missed out on much ### 1/5 — Never write reviews *2025-06-07, version 1.1.5* Way too many ads absolutely ridiculous how many ads there are ### 1/5 — Ads ruin it. Don’t waste your time! *2025-03-02, version 1.1.5* Absolutely the most obnoxious quantity of ads I’ve even seen for any app and I’ve tried many. Deleting unfortunately. Life is too short. ### 1/5 — TOO MANY ADS! *2025-01-04, version 1.1.5* Like the title suggests, way too many ads. Every time you solve one part of the scene, boom ad. Can’t play offline either. Such a fun game but the ads kill it. 🥲 Such a shame, as clearly from the other reviews it’s never been dealt with. ### 1/5 — Absolutely outrageous amount of adds *2024-12-19, version 1.1.5* There was genuinely a 20 second add every single time I pressed a button, used to find this game really fun, not a chance anymore ### 1/5 — Ads *2024-12-05, version 1.1.5* The amount of ads make the game not worth it. I don’t even get ads after a full level I get ads every time I get a clue. Don’t get me wrong, it’s fun. But it’s to worth all the ads. ### 1/5 — Annoying ads. *2024-03-22, version 1.1.5* Way too many ads to actually enjoy the game. ### 1/5 — Wayyy too many ads *2024-03-01, version 1.1.5* I used to like this game but now every time you click something to investigate (essentially the entire game) you get an ad. You’re watching ads more than you’re playing and it’s not particularly close. Completely unplayable. ### 1/5 — Restore Failure *2023-03-29, version 1.1.5* When I downloaded this game like years ago -I paid to remove ads now though upon trying to come back and okay ads are ALL throughout and when I go to ‘restore’ the purchase I made it force quits. Immediately closes. And does nothing to apply the service I paid for. Like.. I don’t know if the game needs to be updated but I’ll be contacting Apple regarding the discrepancy. Don’t download//the review about the amount of 30 second -unskip•able adds is not a lie. ### 1/5 — Sooooooo many Ads *2023-03-03, version 1.1.5* Not worth playing unless you’re doing something else at the time…so many 30 sec Ads, even if you got the correct answer!…at the VERY least, you should not have to suffer through Ads when you get the correct answer…I find the poor English funny ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — lowkey od with them ads *2024-12-22, version 1.1.5* click one time it’s an ad for like 30 seconds click after that it’s another ad like dude cmonnn ### 5/5 — Good *2024-02-11, version 1.1.5* Great ### 5/5 — I loved this game when I was little and I still do now. *2023-08-26, version 1.1.5* I hope the owner comes back and updates the game because I absolutely love this game. I just finished the game and I hope soon there will be more. Even if theres no more levels and the creator has no plans on updating the game, I still enjoyed my time on it and the memories I have with this game. I’ll never forget this game. Thank you for playing part in my childhood <3 ### 5/5 — Not much to complain about… *2023-05-28, version 1.1.5* It’s a fun game to train my brain, plus I love murder mystery detective riddles and stuff like that. I noticed that some people don’t like that is switches to a completely new screen after you answer correctly or incorrectly, but for me it adds a sense of suspense and I can’t really explain why. My only problem with it, (and I understand that you may not be American and are trying your best to translate) is that there are many typos in the questions so it’s sometimes hard to understand what is being asked, maybe if you can have someone proof read each question and correct grammatical errors, then it wouldn’t be a problem. All in all, it’s a fun game that I keep coming back to. I’ve downloaded this game 3 times and have yet to complete in it’s entirety but I plan on doing so this time. If possible, I would like to see more levels and frequent updates ### 5/5 — yeah *2022-07-02, version 1.1.5* fun ### 5/5 — Great Game I love it *2022-06-13, version 1.1.5* It’s fantastic,I absolutely LOVE it! I love murder mysteries and other things like that.So thanks very much for making this wonderful game.I like how they have lots of features and details.I always play this when I have free time.THANK YOU!!!! ### 5/5 — Wow *2021-12-01, version 1.1.5* I just finished the game today. Almost 100 levels in total. So much fun and I paid to get rid of the ads. It was worth it! 5/5!!!! ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2021-11-29, version 1.1.5* Great Game! ### 5/5 — Fun. And it’s super cool! *2021-09-21, version 1.1.5* I mean seriously. I never thought I’d find a game like this for mobile devices. The only game similar to this that I know of. Is for pc only. In fact it would be a stroke of luck if it’s the same developers! Btw it’s not a murder game. It’s a game where your finding this cat. The only way to play it on a mobile device. Is to use your mobile web browser. However the cat is super fun ### 5/5 — Fun Game *2021-09-21, version 1.1.5* This game is fun for my son and I to play together! Please make more games like this!!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
