We’re glad you’re still enjoying the game overall. A fix for the highlighter issue is on the way! ### 3/5 — A few minor issues.. *2025-04-16* Ever since the update, I haven’t been able to highlight, and sometimes it does not tell the reasoning for the murders as it did in the previous version. But overall, it’s still a pretty good game! **Developer response:** Hi, thank you so much for your review! We’re glad you’re still enjoying the game overall. Cases are now replayable from the ‘All Cases’ menu if you didn’t identify the guilty suspect. You’ll only see the case summary once you’ve correctly found the guilty person. We understand this can be a bit frustrating, especially if you’re looking for an explanation of why your chosen suspect was innocent. We’re actively working on a solution for that. A fix for the highlighter issue is also on the way! ### 3/5 — Cool game but the wait 😒😒 *2025-02-20* I enjoy the game! It reminds me of the Unsolved Crimes games you can buy physically but on your phone. The wait (5 hours at that) is what makes it discouraging to continue. I want to solve another case, but alas… I wait. I solved 2 out of 3 so far and want my redemption. Blah! **Developer response:** Thank you for the review. We want to let you and our new players know that the wait times have been completely removed from the game. Since Whodunit? The Archives is a premium experience; you can now solve every case in the collection without any delays or interruptions. ### 5/5 — Omg! *2025-01-12, version 1.2.2* This game is the best game ever! As a fan of any murder mystery, this game really truly appealed to me. And it was right to! I love it so much 100* ### 4/5 — Good app *2025-01-01* This app is great, super fun and interesting. But I wish they didn’t have the having to wait like another 5 hours to solve an investigation. **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback—it’s awesome to hear you’re enjoying the app and finding it fun and interesting! We understand the wait times can be a bit frustrating, and we really appreciate you sharing your thoughts. We’re always looking for ways to improve, so we’ll keep this in mind as we continue to develop the game. Thanks for playing, and happy sleuthing! ### 5/5 — Great game *2024-12-09, version 1.2.1* Very enjoyable game. The stories are great and very entertaining. ### 3/5 — Why the wait? *2024-11-14* I like the game, the concept is really cool and the layout is what I want in a mobile murder mystery game. It reminds me of that Will Arnett netflix series, Murderville, you “interview” the suspects and then based on what you know you pick a suspect. But you complete a case, now it makes you wait hours for the next one?? Why cant I just continuously play? Its a little discouraging. Makes me just want to find a different game with a similar concept. Either it needs shorter wait times or like smaller side quests or games to do in the mean time. Otherwise love murder mystery ### 5/5 — Its pretty interesting *2024-11-12, version 1.2.1* Its a fun and simple game. I liked it. ### 4/5 — Whodunit *2024-11-05* After watching knives out, I started to go down a rabbit hole of murder mysterys. I love making myself think, while also just laying on the couch. This game is perfect for people that like to solve problems and like working puzzles. I'm really impressed with this game, now if you'll excuse me, I have to figure out who killed Sophia. ### 5/5 — Great game *2024-10-14, version 1.0* As a keen armchair detective, when I came across this game I had to give it a go. I was not disappointed. Love the storylines and the game set up. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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! ### 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. ### 1/5 — Never works *2025-08-05* I downloaded the game because it looked fine but when download the game nothing loads it just stays on the opening screen. There’s nothing there the music is playing, but no case or anything pops up ### 1/5 — . *2025-04-10, version 2.0* the game use to be good never had ads and you never had any in game money you had to worry about. now however there are adverts and if you dont have the right amount of in game coins you cannot open the case ### 1/5 — Bad grammar *2025-01-25* I really wanted to like this game but the grammar is awful and so distracting. Wrong use of “their” is a big one. Plus a number of other words that are used incorrectly. For a game that depends on narrative, it’s just too distracting. ### 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. ### 2/5 — App no longer works *2025-08-08* Beat all the current episodes and decided to replay them but the app is no longer working properly ### 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!" ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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 ### 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? ### 5/5 — App has crashed!!! *2025-07-13, version 2.1* I am hooked but why has the app all of a sudden crashed?? The cases are so good to crack. Please try to fix asap!!! ### 5/5 — Wish there wasn’t a wait time *2025-03-07* Love game I wish there wasn’t more too it but I also wish there wasn’t a wait time I hate waiting for the next case I just wanna do case after case but other then that so far pretty good wish there more to do then just read nothing hard just bit more to it But it’s great how it is **Developer response:** Thank you so much for the feedback! We wanted to let you (and any new detectives) know that we have completely removed the wait times between cases. You can dive into case after case without any interruptions. Happy investigating! ### 5/5 — When are we getting more stories *2025-03-03, version 1.2.2* Love this game. Love that gives me six hours between so I don’t spend all day on it 😂 have finished all the ones available - when r we getting more ### 5/5 — Simple and interesting *2025-02-13, version 1.2.2* This is good fun and quite stimulating to play. Each standalone case has an introduction, a victim report, and three suspect testimonies and it’s all about working out details and inconsistencies in the testimonies to make your final decision about which suspect is guilty. It’s as simple as that. They’re well-written, so that you need to pay attention but you’re not immersed in the drama. There are no level-ups, or convoluted bonus items or networks or in-game currency - just read and sleuth! No ads either. One interesting feature is that after completing one case, you have to wait six hours until the next one. On the one hand that makes it a little restrictive, but on the other, it’s great for not making you addicted - which is actually good for your detective brain (and quite uncommon for most game apps)! I’m enjoying it once or twice a day. If you want a simple puzzle - and if you think you can see through the perpetrators’ lies - this is the app for you! ### 5/5 — Love it *2025-01-18* We love it my besties and I play together and see who solves first. We need new cases though **Developer response:** Thanks so much for sharing this—it’s awesome to hear that Whodunit has become a fun challenge for you and your friends. We’re working hard on bringing out new cases soon, so hang tight, and happy sleuthing! ### 5/5 — Good game but the latest case…. *2025-01-12, version 1.2.2* I really do like this game, but I feel a bit robbed on the latest case! I chose suspect #2, the bride but it said innocent. Then when the actual guilty party was revealed, it turns out it was the bride, so I was right! I mean in the scheme of things it’s not a big deal, but still….. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
