Please fix this otherwise enjoyable game. Thanks! ### 3/5 — Game ok *2026-03-17, version 5.01* Wish stars and coins were easier to obtain. ### 2/5 — Been playing Haiku Games for years *2025-10-07, version 5.00* This new style is not Haiku that we all know and love. Please reconsider this change. Its a lazy style and has no character. By the time we finish one game we have to wait for the plays to add back up and by then some of us already forgot the storyline. Its not enjoyable. I miss the feeling of going on an adventure in the old Haiku Games. It was a beautiful journey that took skill and determination. I felt accomplished after completing the different puzzles and loved reading the complex mysteries. Please we beg you. ### 3/5 — Problem with purchase *2025-10-03, version 5.00* I’ve tried to buy the gold pass and every time it comes up with an error code 11.1022 It’s been like this for 2 weeks. Really frustrating, now I’m at the end and only have 8 minutes to get all unused bonuses! ### 4/5 — Haiku games are always the best! *2025-09-10, version 5.00* I have been playing haiku escape games since they were individual apps and the AE mysteries came along and is the best app with amazing games. I think HAIKU games are the best and offer quality games. This app is no different, there is quality and cool games however the reason I am not as in love with it is because the mini puzzles are awesome but the actual investigation kinda runs for you. I wish it was more interactive where I can deduce who the suspects are and who I think did it or allow me to deduce by the clues I collect. I think the game could have been immensely better that way. ### 3/5 — Reward track needs to change *2025-09-05, version 5.00* It’s unfair that the reward track expires only 10 min after completing, and there is no way to get the diamond key afterwards. We shouldn’t be permanently locked out from puzzles and there should be an option to buy access later if we so choose ### 2/5 — Not much skill needed *2025-09-01, version 5.00* Unfortunately, this is nothing compared to the regular Haiku Games which are really fun. I played this for about an hour and it was just tedious. Mostly just leading you along the way without actually choosing much of anything. The puzzles themselves are way too simple. This basically consists of a bunch of screen tapping without any real choice in the story development along with no challenge to the puzzles. Lots of “options” though, stars, coins, passes, rewards, boosts, and some diamond key or something. ### 2/5 — Haiku! *2025-08-16, version 4.01* EDIT* I’m revising my review. Episode 1-8 puzzles were doable, and with more bombs/ useful gifts. Not the ridiculous (see a whole colour solution of triangles for 2 seconds). In case 9..they’re almost impossible. Almost all of them are timed! I wasted 13+lives trying to complete..coloured triangles..shapes, and face logic. I’ve completed all of the more doable ones. I’d have to purchase even more coin. With the V.I.P. Pass..$7.*3..$12.+ to unlock it..3.99*2…for coin.. It’s getting too expensive..They should take the timer off. I want to be able to enjoy it..not hate it. ### 4/5 — Stimulant *2025-08-08, version 4.01* Les puzzle sont plus intéressant que l’enquête en elle même qui elle ne demande pas de réflexion ! ### 5/5 — Süße Geschichten und tolle Rätsel *2025-07-31, version 4.01* Ich bin schon seit Jahren ein Haiku Games Fan. Daher kaufe ich auch gerne Pässe oder Ähnliches, um das Team zu unterstützen. Hier habe ich einen Moment gebraucht, um ins Spiel zu kommen, war aber dann total schnell drin und habe alles verschlungen, was es gab. Die Puzzles sind am Anfang recht einfach, werden dann aber knifflig. Einige lagen mir mehr, andere weniger. Ganz toll. Ich freue mich schon auf nächste Level, bin leider schon mit allem durch. 🙈 ### 5/5 — Best storyline ever *2025-07-27, version 4.01* I love the storyline because its really creative and fun but i realized theres only ten cases and im already in the fifth and it gave me a notification that said giving a review helps make more cases and puzzles so i hope this dedicates to making it longer ### 2/5 — Good game *2025-07-25, version 4.01* But a little easy ### 5/5 — Please more Face Logic puzzles! *2025-07-25, version 4.01* If I could play a game of face logic puzzles, that would scratch a brain itch! ### 5/5 — Puzzle town mystery *2025-07-23, version 4.01* I love this game I feel like a real Detective! ### 5/5 — Super fun and enjoyable *2025-07-21, version 4.01* Great puzzles to keep me coming back for more. The storylines are also really fun too. Thanks for making a great puzzle game! ### 5/5 — Great games *2025-07-21, version 4.01* Fun and easy to drop into. Another great game - thank you ### 5/5 — New logic games, lots of fun *2025-07-20, version 4.01* I’m about halfway through the game and love it. First, no technical issues. Second, the games that you play to earn stars to “solve” the cases are different from nearly any I have played. They all require logical thinking to solve, start out easy and get more challenging. I’ve had to use boosters on a few, mainly because I lost patience. They say every game can be solved without using the boosters. Each game has 3 levels, I think 10 or so rounds per level. The cases you solve are the weak part of the game; they are just a vehicle to get to play more of the logic games. You tap on different locations and read the dialogue as the investigators interview suspects or look around for clues- you don’t have to figure anything out, just go through the scenes. You play the logic games to earn stars that allow you to go through the scenarios. Surprisingly, the dialogue isn’t bad, albeit a little cheesy. So far I’m enjoying this game immensely. Really enjoying the quantity and quality of the logic games. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Нет русского языка *2025-08-25* Когда появится русский язык в игре?? Много диалогов, без перевода не поиграть! ### 1/5 — No me gusto mucho *2025-08-15, version 4.01* Por lo general me parecen interesantes casi todos los juegos de Haiku, este en particular no me gusto para nada. Me aburrieron los diálogos sin “búsqueda” Mi favorito de Haiku es Haunted Hunt, de todos los que tiene es el único del que estoy enamorada, es una pena que no tengan nada siquiera similar ### 1/5 — Bait and switch *2025-07-04, version 4.01* The puzzles are kind of boring but the worst part is very typical. It lets you play for a little while then you have to either watch advertisements or pay real money to buy stars. Unless you are into that don’t even bother with this game!! ### 1/5 — Trop compliqué *2025-06-16, version 3.01* L’énigme m’apparaît difficile à comprendre ### 1/5 — Gamer *2025-05-03, version 2.02* I hate it so boring ### 1/5 — Locked out of puzzles *2025-04-26, version 2.01* I finished all the released cases and I thought I was going to be able to work on the puzzle portion but there’s absolutely nothing I can do now. What’s the point of a game you can’t even play? ### 1/5 — Thinking Fun *2025-04-18, version 1.03* I like how you have to really think each logical step through, not just simple one dimensional puzzling. ### 1/5 — Talk too much / storytime *2025-03-05, version 1.03* Blah blah blah! I am not interested. Boring! Byeeee! ### 1/5 — Can’t move *2025-01-06, version 1.00* No matter what I try I cannot. move the people to get out. It’s extremely frustrating. I did it the first time but can’t get past the second one. ### 2/5 — So boring *2026-01-28, version 5.01* This game is awful compared to other games by this developer. I really dislike how the puzzles are not at all related to the story and you only do the puzzles to spend on stars to complete story actions. There is no logic or deduction involved in solving the mysteries or interacting with the environment of the story, it’s just a story with irrelevant repetitive puzzles that you need to complete to watch it play out. Disappointing but still I’ll look forward to the next games that Haiku releases ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-02-22, version 5.01* Been playing this game and it’s really helping with my concentration problems ### 5/5 — Puzzle town mysteries *2025-12-27, version 5.01* Really fun game more cases plz and I think Lana and Barry should date ### 5/5 — Always impressed by Haiku *2025-12-19, version 5.01* This is an interesting way to divide up the puzzled vs. The mystery and story. You spend stars for clues and you gain stars by doing puzzles so you can stock up on stars and play through an entire chapter, or you can do each at an incremental rate. With their other games, sometimes you get stuck on one puzzle which halts the game. Still fun, but sometimes it’s take a couple days so the story is a little detached. I’m impatiently waiting for chapter 11 to release 😆 ### 5/5 — Puzzle geek *2025-11-28, version 5.00* Pretty good puzzles to get stars. Enjoy the storyline ### 5/5 — Super *2025-10-05, version 5.00* J’aime beaucoup le concept des mini jeu. Ça reste les mêmes concepteurs que haïku games qui sont juste très très bon ### 5/5 — Haiku excel at puzzles like no one else *2025-09-06, version 5.00* I wrote a longer review but my phone ate it. If you like smart puzzles that aren’t just there to slow your gameplay progress, you will enjoy this game. I’ve finished all the cases and it will be a sad day when I run out of free puzzles. ### 5/5 — Nice game *2025-09-01, version 5.00* Chill and enjoyable so far ### 5/5 — Amazing game *2025-08-29, version 5.00* I really enjoy the puzzles and investigations. Beautiful design and great gameplay. ### 5/5 — Review *2025-08-10, version 4.01* Love Love your games. Please keep putting them out. Thank You ### 5/5 — Fun & fast *2025-08-08, version 4.01* Short, fast puzzles --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
