Community Insight:
This game is awesome it a lot of fun.
Fun Game. Play it everyday. Have been playing for many years now.
The graphics are great. The storyline is good too. But all too often you play one scene and have to endure an ad which slows the game progress and irritates the user. Arent we already looking at ads for any number of things. But to have them shove down, our throats simply for playing a scene is quite irritating and disrespectful to your fans.
Im going to have to stop playing these criminal case games because of Top Girl Produce 2025 ads. Boss this and boss that, obviously pandering to very low IQ and questionable morals. Disgusting.
We like the game and enjoy playing. BUT! There are way too many ads. We end up spending more time watching ads than playing. We dont mind watching an ad once in a while, but this is ridiculous. We are seriously considering giving up this game for one of those you advertise that has No annoying ads like this game.
Im playing on an iphone. We finished Pacific Bay and have a lot of energy and coins left over that we paid a lot of money for. They should have been transferred to Save the World. The game has too many charges for everything. This needs to change immediately.
We love playing this game it is so fun.
We absolutely love it its everything frl.
This is our favorite game from the company that makes them. There are several reasons: first of all, it takes place in various locations around the globe, so its like a travelogue as you get to know the culture, cuisine, and customs of the places you visit. Also, after each murder investigation is done, there is a more global investigation that takes place in a serial manner unearthing some conspiracy or other. Finally, the characters are engaging as they interact with each other while solving the various mysteries. It is the best way to spend down timeI only wish we could win the lottery and visit some of the exotic places they go.
What if the game has Google account to play it and to socialize.
Good graphics and a variety of clothing/creating. Overall a great and interesting game.
We love this game soo much it brings so much memories of when we played it in the past.
This is a great game franchise! But its very annoying when certain ads cut off the sound for the game. Its a bug that plagues all of the Criminal Case games. Very annoying because we find the sounds useful.
Wonderful game cant wait to see what next.
Is there a update we had 45,000 coins and it just stopped working and now Im back to 110 can someone from the creators help please.
We have been enjoying this series but today it erased over 300 partner points we were saving we want them back or a reason why they are missing.
You need more energy icons by doing something more than watching those limited amount of videos or create more videos for energy icons because its too easy to run out of energy to keep going on the cases sometimes. We think you would get more 5 out 5 stars that way. We really do like the game.You should do that for all the Crime Scene games. The game is a lot of fun and really keeps you thinking. Thank you, Ken L.
Every time we play this Criminal Case along with other versions of it, we notice an issue with the sound. Whenever we close an ad, theres no sound and yet the music is still there. We just wish these ads would stop interfering with the sound.
Someone please fix the game! Since it disconnected from Facebook, we lost the friends energy bonuses & cards we were saving, & the daily bonus spin doesnt work right either. We really enjoy playing the game & am just glad we didnt lose anything else, because of the games issues. Thanks & have a great day.
We actually love the game and therefore decided to buy it – but as soon as we did the option of bingeing on ads to get energy stopped and that kinda took the fun out of it for us. Did the same mistake in the Mysteries version. Other versions we decided not to buy and there we can still watch ads and collect energy so those versions are more fun even if you have to watch endless ads between plays.
Pacific Bay picked up where the cases in Grimsborough left off, which was great. Now, though, Ive flown off to join this team and been forced to start from scratch. The story and characters are fine. The music is HORRIBLE. We had to create a new avatar, we have no pet companion, and Ive lost millions of coins amassed over the previous games. Ugh.
We love the game but havent been able to connect wit Facebook now for about 3 months. Also we play everyday and have for years. Every day we go Mtg spin the wheel and havent been able to get to the max for daily bonuses, it changes every day between 2-3 consecutive days played even though we play everyday. And we have tried to reach out th the game help guys but it will not accept any email we put in. We are about done playing because of the poor support.
We enjoy the games in this genre, but am finding you imposing your political and social opinions insulting. The wall in the southern part of the US, homosexual lifestyles, etc not necessary to enjoy these games. If we wanted you opinion wed ask for it. They may be free, but not free enough to keep having to see it.
We dont play this one like we do the other criminal case games because this one is different. It just throws ads at you in the middle of play with no reward. Not worth it.
Love the Criminal Case games. Hate the ads! Why are you forcing us to watch these stupid ads? We know customers were not forced to watch ads a couple years back. Why now? The games then were so much better and much more fun to play without being interrupted by an annoying ad. Frankly, we dont want to pay to remove the ads. Just remove the annoying things.
UPDATE: ITS STILL DOING IT, WATCH A VIDEO THEN IT FREEZES, IT WILL NOT GIVE YOU YOUR REWARD. We CONTACT SUPPORT AND ALL we GET IS AN AUTOMATED REPLYI would have given this a higher score, but we keep contacting customer support about an ad Figgerits, that freezes almost every time AFTER you watch the ad, that you have to close your game out, which means you watched that ad for nothing because you dont get the credit, then you have to log back in. All we get from customer support is an automated response how we should go look in the help menu. Like how is the help menu going to stop the game from freezing. Its very frustrating.
Why cant we log in this game with our Facebook? Please fix this problem urgently.
Was playing game on iPhone. When we had to replace iPhone couldnt connect game with Facebook. Starting all over but cant connect with friends for both Save the World and Mysteries of the Past.
Love this game so much! The cases are captivating, characters are interesting, and well designed.
This game is Fantastic and unique.You just feel exited when you play criminal case because it is a special game.But just it is a little bug in criminal case:save the world.(the bug:When you play criminal case more than 30 minutes the sound of clicking a button in the crime since or the map stops,we mean we cant hear the sound of clicking different buttons after 30 minutes so we really appreciate if you fix that bug)(Another think that we want to say is:can you make another criminal case please because we love your games pretty simple. Thank you,.
From these ads we have not personally had these issues, but if other people have, fix it!!! We mean geez PS: we Like This Game.
Less opportunities to get extra money and energy. We refuse to spend more money. Updating to 5 stars by level 5 you now get the 3 full spins on the wheel daily and the extra one after as well as 2 chances to watch videos for more energy.
We cant hit the start for an autopsy please fix it Ill be seeing if you fixed it and then Ill check with you thank you.
We enjoy playing this game. Very challenging.
The ad for Producers borders on pornography. Uncomfortable for us. Please consider passing this review on to the advertiser.
We enjoyed playing this game. We gave a couple of other ones but this one is our favorite thus far. However, once you complete all of the cases…..we have over $200,000. How can we transfer those to another game so we dont lose them.
This is a fun game!!! We highly recommend it but dont buy ads free it takes away the free watch ads that give you 20 energy.
Get to the end and loose everything. Nothing transfers to another game.
Connecting error when trying to spin wheel.
This is a pretty good game but way to many ads. Seems like there is one after every other play.
We paid to opt out of ads. That worked great for awhile but the ads you chose to watch dont close with the X and then you have no choice but to close out without getting energy credit and a waste of at least 2 minutes each time, plus frustration. TO THE GAME ADMINISTRATORS.please please please fix!!!!! Super annoying.
Waste of an app. Too political to be of any value. MAGA.
Ive been playing Criminal Case with our mother off and on for a long time now but they have recently added a Remove Ad pop-up for $7.99 and have immersed the game in Ditch the vape ads from Truth.com!!!! Two things: Ive never vaped nor do we know anyone who does and this grab for money by the developers of Criminal Case has cost them a loyal gamer. Unless you want to spend half your game time watching pointless, long, boring ads or you want to pony up the money, dont bother with this app.
We like the game, its fun & we play about 5 of these. But we are increasingly frustrated with the ads after every play. We buy things from occasionally but we find it highway robbery to ask us to pay $8.99 to stop the incessant ads. Too much. We may quit. Its no fun spending half the time we have to play waiting for an ad to end.
Please stop with all of these pop up ads. Its not going to make us spend more money to get ad free its only making us want to stop playing this game. You decided to take away the free burger at the end of the game and started to give us stupid stickers why.
We had over 100 extra points and special cards, which just vanished. No, we didnt click the button to use and send to friends. Just disappeared. Irritating.
Love, love, love this game it is a great story! But we rate this game 4 stars because we just wish we could change our name. We couldnt find any skins that looked like us, so we decided to get creative with our character but when we made it to level 6, we earned a skin that looked like us and we wanted to change our name but we cant. Other than that love it.
The whole series was very well done.
We love all the criminal case files except the travel in time one. The other 4 have entertained us for years. When we run out of energy it is replaced in a reasonable time, and you get burgers periodically that makes it easier. We dont play the travel in time game, we play this one and the others instead.
