Case Open is an addictive puzzle game from 2020, designed to play in waiting rooms and other places, without any time stress or 'out of lives' messages or having to spend money on power-ups. The game is completely free with no advertisements, no banners, nothing. Goal: Guide Casey to the exit by collecting all required coins. There are 400+ lessons that will prepare our Hero for life in the field as a full fledged spy. - The App itself has an extensive Help section, explaining all items. - Look at the screenshots to see some items like door, transporter, etc - Difficult levels have a walkthrough video, accessible from within the app (pause screen). - If you register you get 5 skip options which allows you to skip 5 levels of your choice, when you solve a previously skipped level, you regain the skip. - When you have finished, you are ready to take on real Spy missions in Case Closed, another puzzle game. It's available for free from your favorite App store. We hope you enjoy the game. Jake Solutions

Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Case Open holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Empty. has 2.4K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 93% of Empty.'s written reviews are positive against 80% of Case Open's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and September 13, 2026 respectively.
