Community Insight:
It is so fun it is hard and weird.
This game is amazing and its very interesting so sigmaaaa very mindful very cutesy very demure.
This game is so fun to play if you want to test your deductive skills and it also makes for a good game to play when you have nothing to do or when you are bored in general! This game is one of the best deductive games Ive played ngl.
Its a really funny game if you love murder mysterys and want to be a detective sometimes it is kinda hard but fun.
Ngl Its cool the game updated and all but the infiltration puzzles shouldnt of been added into the game at all. Not only do you have to spend money in order to move past phases its the fact that the 5/5 accuracy doesnt make sense. 5/5 accuracy should be a perfect shot and its not. You have to click it multiple times while the clock is ticking and while the sensor is moving at a certain speed it wastes so much time and then you have to watch ads to get more bullets or added time its dumb.
This game is a really good game for car rides and if you like puzzles. Entertaining, and no adds.
We finally found a new mixer-mystery-crime game thats completely different than the rest. Not what we expected when we first downloaded it, but after playing for a day and finishing the first play-through, we are just amazed. We love the story line because in reality things happen and not everything goes well but its an experience like no other. We hope they continue with more play thoughts because its quite interesting.
This game is so fun and addicting! They are challenging and we actually log the evidence they give to make it like solving a real case! Defiantly a great game and you should download it if you are interested in this type of thing.
Period. It was easy for us to donate. This has by far been our favorite mystery/detective game in the App Store, & we feel like Ive played them all. We agree with people who wish for a little more background, but theres so much content already, we dont blame the developers. Congrats. Well done.
This is a really well designed game and the cases are well put together! We were not expecting a game to have cases that are extremely realistic to the point where you think and actually try to solve it.To be honest we wouldnt be surprised if some of the cases were real.Excellent work game developers we respect the amount of thought that was needed to make this game.
This game is sooo fun. Its not extremely easy. You have to actually put your thinking skills together to figure out who killed who.
This game is fun. We are enjoying it.
When we originally downloaded this game we expected some subpar cheesy bright side type mystery. But this game really makes you think, and it is extremely satisfying solving a murder case 6/5.
Great game man absolutely spectacular.
Great game but some cases are hard we dont know if its us or the game but overall its perfect.
We love this game! We genuinely felt like a real detective while playing. We played the whole thing once, now here we are downloading it again because its just too good. Sadly it doesnt have more stories, looking forward to it.
We have been searching everywhere for a real detective game and this game has awesome cases and it is so fun to solve them! Please hurry and put more cases on there.
We always loved to solve crimes and this games is so worth it. We love how everything was connected and we never knew we had to choose this path for the main ending, its so epic! Continue making making more of this because we never had a game that we enjoy so much since Im a super picky person.
Great game just come out with #3.
We love getting to solve the murders and getting promoted it feels truly amazing solving these.
We agree with some of the ppl we dont like to do reviews. We agree this game is under rated. Im also hoping we can get rid of the ads. This game is very enjoyable and exciting. A very realistic adult detective game.
We did not have expectations, but we were happy to have given this a chance. Smart, methodical and a sense of urgency that keeps the back beat of the game driving forward as new clues and evidence become known or surface unexpectedly, the real world intangible become evident and critical especially if you are not on your toes and enthralled in the case. Bravo. We are eager to continue after our first 5 cases.
We absolutely loved this. It put our mental and intellect skills to the test and ive spent days on this game trying to get everything right without any hints and we did it. We respect the developers for the challenge and we hope and pray you guys make way more of these mystery stories.
Solved them but did so on skimpy info. Could provide more data, but after all, it is only a game, not real life! Like it.
Its completely free, theres no gems, lives, hearts, energy, etc. The only thing that costs is ads and ads arent bad for a free game.
We absolutely LOVE this game! We've always been a fan of mystery and detective games, and this is one of the best we've come across. The fact that you don't have to pay for anything is AMAZING especially considering the quality of the storyline. We can't wait to keep playing! Thank you so much to the devs.
This is an amazing game!! If you love murder mystery, this is definitely the game for you.
This is a really interesting game. The cases start off very easy, and eventually get harder. We just finished the Hong Kong levels, and we loved how we could go back and choose different actions to see the other endings. This game is still really fun and one of the best mystery apps Ive tried, so its definitely worth playing. We will definitely be downloading Murder Mystery 2 when the App Store has it.
Unlike many criminal investigation games, this game is far more cerebral and challenging than your run of the mill hidden object/match three games.If youre willing to watch a few ads youre able to keep playing and collect valuable clues. In a word, outstanding.
The game is awesome and super cool. Its like im a real detective. The only problem, is that in some cases, a witness may say they were driving a pickup truck but then it never says who owns a pickup truck. Its just a bit confusing and we need more information. But all in all we love the game.
The game is really addicting, and unlike the other detective games out there, it makes you use your brain instead of just being pay to win. The only problem we have is that we sometimes get a little lost in the storyline. We think to help this, it would be good to add a summary after each level for the events leading up to the following levels.
This game is really well done and is the best murder mystery game app Ive found. We love how there are different difficulty levels and how you actually have to piece together the clues to solve the crime. We are also SO grateful that there arent all sorts of things you have to buy to properly play the game. You can buy clues if you choose, but you can also watch a video, which is awesome. And you arent forced to get clues either (although they do help on those extremely tough cases). Theres a nice variety of actions and clues for each case as well, so it doesnt feel like youre basically repeating the same thing over and over. There is one small nitpick we havewhile we definitely appreciate that it gets down to the nitty gritty right away for each mystery, we do kind of wish that wed get just a bit more story. Who was the victim, besides just her name? Tell us a little more about the killer and his motives. What happened after he was caught? How does that lead into the next scene, etc. Just a tad more informationa little bit of a plot line would draw us in a bit more and make us feel more connected to whats going on. In any case, keep up the good work! Im still making our way through this one but already cant wait to play the next.
We really enjoy this app it is very well made and you have to actually try and figure things out. The only thing we would like is a note pad or something where you can click and write down things as you go! Especially on the hard levels where there is so much to them.
Love this game but we purchased clues and have not been credited for them. Typically, when you purchase things they are credited immediately. Is there some kind of waiting period with this app? After reading other reviews, we saw that his has happened To someone else and they were instructed to use the Restore Purchases button. We tried that and it didnt work either.
Lacks pictures and perhaps short clips. Needs better menu navigation.
Finally! A real mystery to solve. This is not a game where you randomly click around a room to find things like in childrens we spy book. This game takes you through one storyline where you discover an elusive criminal organization while looking for a murderer. Solve puzzles to track down the members and find a new lead. Im looking forward to the upcoming mystery to solve.
We cant find any mention of a card in the case. Missing information has happened in other cases.
Downloaded game yesterday. Very interesting and challenging, but no instructions. Bought clues and still havent gotten them. Also would be a good idea to have a button to review the initial case information that is given.
This is mostly to the developers, because we bought unlimited clues a week ago, the order went through, yet we didnt get any clues? We spent $6.48, and we have a receipt, so why didnt we get anything? Either give our clues, or give us a refund. And the ironic part is that we cant even restore purchases. Just give us our money back or something, we dont even care. Its a shame, because we really liked your game. We only wish the purchases actually worked. To anyone that wants to buy something, a word of advice, youre wasting your money on this. Literally. Because you wont get anything out of it. If any developer is reading this, we have a receipt and a screenshot if you want to get back to us. But Im not holding on to any hopes.
Paid $1.99 for 40 clues and it still shows 0 clues despite the purchase being in our history. We cant find anyone to contact so buyer beware.
We absolutely love the challenge. Sometimes it is nice to play something mindless, but if you want entertainment and a thrill, this is the game for you. Taking notes and using clues as needed really helps to solve the cases. It makes you feel like your a virtual detective.
It was so good we poopted in our pantz.
This game is amazing. Some people might not like it but thats because u have to think. Use your brain. Its really good though. We recommend it if you like solving mysteries but if you like easy stuff (not saying its extremely hard. You have to use your brain) then get it. And good job to the developers. They really did good. ().
Ok we normally never write reviews but this app really deserves it. Its not some boring easy puzzle game the mysteries start off easy but then get harder and thus app is downright amazing. Its a must download.
Cant wait for more episodes!!! Best game ever.
We never ever write reviews but this game is worth it. It seems to be very underrated. Ive never played a game as unique as this one. It doesnt take energy or ask for money. If you need a hint and dont want to pay then they give you 30 sec ads to watch. The levels are all different difficulty and some will be easier than others but thats one thing we loved about it. Im going to donate to them because we cant wait for new levels to come out. Seriously if you come across this game, download it! You wont regret it. The story line is amazing. The developers did an amazing job.
Ive played many games, but none compare to this. It actually lets you make deductions and has real puzzles. We can surely say that this is a one of a kind masterpiece that you wont regret trying.
We like this game a lot. The plot lines are interesting and the cases are not easy. One recommendation – can there be a Notebook feature added that will record notes and conversations or important clues you find along the way? Its hard to guess the mystery when youre constantly having to go back and forth between screens to remember what people said or important facts.
We paid $5.99 for unlimited clues but never received them.
We have searched and searched and cant find any type of contact info to ask questions. We purchased clues 3xs and have not received any. Now when we try to purchase Im given a message that says Ive already purchased and it will restore and still nothing.
