## What is Whodunit?™?

Read the case, spot the clues, and catch the killer.

Whodunit?™ is a collection of short, story-driven mysteries you can solve in minutes.

Each case is built from realistic materials, including witness statements, reports, and key evidence. Clues are hidden within the details, requiring you to identify inconsistencies, eliminate suspects, and uncover the truth.

A GROWING ARCHIVE OF CASES

* Dozens of original murder mystery cases across multiple themes
* Each case is designed to be solved in 5 to 10 minutes
* New cases are being added constantly

Start with a selection of free mysteries, then unlock additional bundles.

Alongside the main archive, Whodunit?™ features a series of standalone special cases released throughout the year. Each special case offers a new murder mystery to investigate, with fresh suspects, new clues, and a different crime to solve.

BUILT FOR THINKERS

There are no timers, no lives, and no forced mechanics. 

Every case can be solved using the information provided. The only question is whether you can piece it together.

Can you solve the case, or will the killer walk free?

### 2/5 — Not bad in premiums

*2026-08-24*

I like the layout and basic design of the game. The literally only issue I have is the “highlighter” function not working. I’ve tried two different devices and multiple methods and it’s beyond annoying.

### 5/5 — Great need MORE!!!

*2026-05-24, version 2.4*

This game is really great! 

No ads, no money to be able to carry on, none of the rubbish you usually have to deal with! 

Only downside is I’ve completed them all now and I need more!

### 5/5 — Me and my friends and siblings love this app

*2026-03-21*

I host a murder mystery server and we use these cases!

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for this! A murder mystery server sounds amazing. We'd love to hear more about it. Send us an email at support@mvpgames.co. Happy sleuthing!

### 5/5 — Detective

*2026-02-21*

I enjoy trying to find the culprit in these cases

### 1/5 — Loads a blank screen

*2026-02-18*

Played this game for a while... Easily went through all the cases, but kept the app because I was waiting for new ones as I had paid for this app. Now whenever I open it, it just loads onto a blank screen. Not really worth the money in my opinion.

### 1/5 — stuck on loading

*2026-02-14*

i kept getting ads for this and i love mysteries so i paid for it, but it won't get past the screen asking if i want to link my acc or play as a guest. i'm a little disappointed that i bought this only for it to keep getting stuck 😕 im sure its a great game but until this issue is fixed i can't give a better review 😭

**Developer response:** Thanks for your review, and sorry for the frustrating experience. There was a bug causing this issue, but it has now been fixed and the game should work normally.

We really appreciate your support and your patience, and we hope you enjoy solving cases!

### 1/5 — The app isn’t working anymore

*2026-02-14*

I loved this app but now it’s no longer opening on my phone. I’ve tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it. Nothing works :(

**Developer response:** Sorry about the trouble, and thanks for your review. This issue was caused by a bug, which has now been resolved, so the game should run normally.

We appreciate your support and your patience, and we hope you have fun solving the cases!

### 3/5 — Is the app no longer working

*2025-09-08*

I’ve been playing this for awhile and love this style but for some reason it hasn’t been loading for the past two weeks and has been paused on the main screen

**Developer response:** Thanks for the kind words about our whodunit! We’re happy to report that the 'mystery' of the frozen loading screen has been solved. A fix was rolled out a while ago, and you should be able to play without any hitches now. We’d love to have you back on the case!"

### 5/5 — Love the game but is not working

*2025-08-25, version 2.1*

Hello, I enjoy playing this with my friends. Super fun cases! The game is not opening for me since last few weeks. Is this an update related issue?

### 1/5 — doesn’t work?

*2025-08-24*

i downloaded this bc i LOVE murder mystery games, but when i open the app it’s stuck on a gray screen with dark gray lines and doesn’t go further. it plays music, but it’s stuck on that screen.

**Developer response:** We appreciate you downloading Whodunit! We’re happy to report that this issue has been fully resolved in our recent updates. If you update to the latest version, you should be able to get past that screen and dive straight into the mystery.
