### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2026-08-27, version 1.7.0*

I really enjoyed the first Unsolved Case game—it was engaging and worth the time. But then I was forced to download the second one, which came with a price tag. That was frustrating enough, but the third installment is ridiculously overpriced for something that can only be played once. It feels unfair to charge so much for a single-use game, especially when the series started off free and fun.

### 5/5 — Great Game!

*2026-08-15, version 1.7.0*

Love doing escape rooms and this was such a lovely way to enjoy the brain twisters to solve the puzzles! Thank you!!

### 5/5 — Great art style and fun game

*2026-08-12, version 1.7.0*

I played this with my partner and we really enjoyed this online coop. Pleasantly surprised by the quality of the puzzles for a free game.

### 5/5 — Die giurella

*2026-08-07*

Ich habe es mit meiner Freundin gespielt  es hat sehr Spaß gemacht bis sie gesagt hat am letzten Level ich soll den Diamant holen ich habe so lange gesucht das meine Augen schon weh getan haben bis ich am Ende festgestellt habe das es eine Glasscheibe war das sie meinte wir habe ungefähre 2 Stunden dran gesessen und haben uns Gedanken gemacht Kapitel 1 war oke Kapitel 2 habe ich schon leichte grisse bekommen wir müssten rote Kugel richtig hinbekommen es waren so viele Kugeln bis am Ende wir nur 5 brauchten anstatt 20 Kapitel 3 hätte ich am liebsten aus dem Telefon herausbringen können und es alleine gemacht weil sie die ganze Zeit Diamant gesagt hat 
Ich gebe dieses Spiel 4,8 es ist ein  Sterne leider dir es viel zu kurz

Lg : die Bratwurst

### 5/5 — Toll!das Spiel is toll wunderbar für Nervenzusammenbrüche mit Freunden!🤩

*2026-08-07*

Ich habe es mit mir und meiner Freundin gespielt ich betone MEINER Freundin es war alles schön und bis zu dem Temperaturen Teil wir saßen 1 Stunde an dem Temperaturen Teil und hatten einen Nervenzusammenbruch ich sagte ihr sie soll den Diamanten verschieben (die Scheibe) Sie dachte wirklich das dort ein Diamant wäre und suchte ihn für 5min nur das ich am Ende die Glasscheibe gemeint hatte.
Ich finde der kostenlose erste Teil war leider ein bisschen zu kurz 😭
Trotzdem ein Sau geiles Spiel für Freunde und wannabe Detektive 😍

Die Comics sahen auch sehr schön aus

10/10 Liebs (bitte ein paar kostenlose Teile🫶)

Viel Glück weiterhin an die Ersteller vom Spiel !
