## What is Solve It 3?

A simple cactus left at the scene of the murder disturbs the normally calm Detective Logan. Is there something he isn’t telling you about this case? 

Solve It 3: Killer Fans is a thrilling murder mystery/visual novel where your choices change the story. A killer is on the loose murdering seemingly unrelated victims. Clues are left at the crime scenes that taunt Detective Logan and you. Will your relationship survive the stress of the case? Will you solve the murder before it is too late?

CHOOSE HOW TO INVESTIGATE
What kind of detective are you? Do you track down every clue even if it will hurt someone’s feelings? Do you have a strictly professional relationship with your attractive boss? Other suspects will remember what you decide and the ending of Solve It 3 will change based on your choices!

SOLVE THE PUZZLES
Solve unique puzzles to make progress on the case! Investigate a suspect’s paintings for cryptic clues that help you break into her phone and decode the killer’s journal to track them down.

CRACK THE CASE
Track down witnesses and suspects. Break their alibis. Determine how suspects are related. Go deep into the past to find connections between the murders. Make hard choices along the way. 

FIND LOVE FOR YOURSELF OR OTHERS
Are you all business? Or will taking time off for a date with numerous eligible suitors sharpen your mind to solve this case? Will you play matchmaker and try to set up the quirky lab technician? Decide in Solve It 3!

A STANDALONE STORY
You don’t have to play Solve It 1 or 2 to enjoy this interactive story! But if you did, you can re-enter your choices in Solve It 3. Or change them! It’s up to you.

### 5/5 — Solve It 4??

*2026-08-04, version 1.03*

I really wanted there to be more Solve It especially diving into the romantic choices especially since in 3 of them I choose the same characters but no development. The game is good and can’t wait for the next one.

### 4/5 — Captivating and Confusing

*2026-06-04, version 1.03*

I was so invested in the story and loved all the puzzles!! At times the choice prompts didn’t fully elude to what the result would be but that’s common for this genre of game. Overall, 9/10 would strongly recommend.

### 5/5 — So good

*2026-04-22, version 1.03*

Such a fan of all the Haiku games and the Solve It series was one of the best!

### 5/5 — I really liked the whole series :)

*2026-04-16*

Played all 3 parts in just two days! Recommend most Haiku Games btw (;

### 5/5 — I hope there will be more of this series.

*2025-02-09, version 1.03*

Love this game and hope there will be a chapter 4.

### 5/5 — Hooked from the beginning!

*2024-12-10, version 1.03*

I had never been a fan of the interactive story genre before but as soon as I saw that Haiku had created one, I thought what the heck let’s try it. Needless to say from the very beginning of Solve It (the 1st one) I was hopelessly hooked. I’ve played every single one and just absolutely love the story line, I love the characters, the puzzles and choices. The developers at Haiku are freaking geniuses!!! Now, back to Solve it 3! 😍😍😍😍

### 5/5 — Logan’s Fan Club

*2024-11-17, version 1.03*

I am definitely apart of this fan club! #1 of the 3 games!

### 5/5 — Please make a 4th

*2024-08-28, version 1.03*

I’d played this game when I had first discovered it years ago. After discovering the first solve it, it hasn’t taken me that long to complete the whole franchise. 

After playing this game it is really hard to find interactive games that were able to intrigue me as much as solve it has! This is just a review in hopes that we would get a continuation of this franchise as this is the one and only game that I just can’t forget about with how much I loved playing it!

### 5/5 — Love haiku games!!

*2024-05-28, version 1.03*

All their games are great.  I love them so much I play them over and over.  They’re a fun way to decompress and relax!

### 5/5 — amazing

*2024-05-07, version 1.03*
