Case Closed 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. Our hero Casey, having completed 'Spy School' (see Case Open) is now a spy on a mission. His objective is to solve puzzles and close each dossier to help the world stay safe. He will encounter many difficulties and sometime these seem impossible to solve. Whereas in 'Spy School' the problems were static (no moving objects), in real life there are all sorts of things to interact with, and the mission space is often larger than the classroom settings from before. Goal: Solve 20 dossiers with each a number of missions In each mission guide Casey to the exit by collecting all required points. The game starts with easy levels and builds up to much more difficult levels. Every time a new item is introduced you'll get some tutorial missions. If you register you get 5 skip options which allows you to skip 5 missions of your choice, when you solve a previously skipped mission, you regain the skip. There are several walkthrough videos available on our website, accessable directly from the app by using the pause screen (click on the exit button in the right top when playing a mission). Every mission has been fully tested and can be solved, we guarantee it. We hope you enjoy the game, Jake Solutions

3:47 a.m. The line goes dead. On the other end, someone stopped breathing – and your only way to the truth is the cursor blinking in front of you. Solve a real crime entirely inside a terminal. No subscription. No ads. Fully offline. The first case is free. YOU ARE THE INVESTIGATOR No cutscene does the work for you, no tapping on suspects. You type commands: • scan sweeps the network • connect opens a session on someone else's machine • cat reads the files and mail • decrypt uncovers what someone tried to hide • crack breaks the login between you and the truth What you type is how you think. REAL CASES, REAL SOLUTIONS Every case is a self-contained crime with a solution you have to find yourself. You read, you deduce, you name the culprit – and how you get there is up to you. WHAT TO EXPECT • A story written like crime fiction – not a tutorial with a plot glued on • No timer, no twitch: just you and the evidence • Fair by design: no dead ends, no game over – a wrong turn never costs you your evening • Hints that only nudge: a push at 2 a.m., never the whole answer • Choices with weight: your final decision has its own epilogue YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS No account needed. Runs fully offline. No ads, no tracking. Everything you do stays on your device. PAY FAIRLY INSTEAD OF SUBSCRIBING The Prologue is a complete case, free – play it start to finish, then decide.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Case Closed at none against EXIT NODE's 1. Case Closed also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
