Community Insight:
Great app!! Interesting cases and is super fun and exciting.
Got lost in this game for a couple of years now. Better than some endless matching or puzzle game. It is engaging, satisfying, and fun.
This game is fun and if want to be a detective this game is for you.
It is really fun it has some good ways to bring you out.
This is so greats we love this game so much.
Honestly a great game Ive always looked for a good detective game and this is it you get several different levels and storylines to follow and theres only adds if you want to skip the 15min wait for the next level we hope you guys keep making level we love the game.
We loved this game it was something we could do when we got bored we really recommend.
Peek a phone is a fun game. You solve mysteries in little bite-sized pieces (each piece takes somewhere between 10-30 minutes). The mysteries are solved by going through a phone, finding passwords and evidence and that sort of thing. The puzzles are mostly very easy, although there have been a few trickier ones so far. Give this a try if you like solving mysteries and feeling like youre eavesdropping, lol.
Lowkey actually goated. Idc about coins and we love solving the puzzles by ourselves.
We cant stand the wait between parts but thats cause theyre so good!!! Its so fun and interactive and we need more stories!! Pls dont stop these.
Alright we dont normally write reviews. But we feel like we need to for this game. The stories are well curated and the puzzles to unlock each app & find passwords is a lot of fun. No ads unless you want to skip the 15min waiting time for the next level. Overall really enjoy this game and recommend it for anyone looking for a fun interactive puzzle/mystery game.
This is the best detective game Ive played.Easy to play good clues.
We love this game. Its wonderful no ads and very capturing.
We love this game! But are there ever going to be new cases added? Ive waited for months for something new.
We love playing this game when Im bored and Theres not an add ever 5 seconds.
Super fun and realistic game! Its such a good time passer.
A great game, appreciate for the creators to include video, make a real website. Not like other games.
This game is amazing! You have to hack into phones to find clues to solve mysteries. Some cases are short, some are longer, but they are all fun. You dont have to spend any money to play, you can simply watch an ad after finishing a case or chapter to bypass the 15 minute waiting period. No ad interference during game play either. This truly IS the best game Ive found.
Love this game and hope they make more.
This game is one of the best mobile games we have genuinely ever played in our lifetime. PLEASE tell us there will be new missions that will continuously be coming. It would be so upsetting if there weren't. This game is amazing, fun, and really makes you use your brain. To say we love it would be an understatement. Please, developers, continue making missions for it.
Helps prepare you if u want to be a detective.
We LOVE THIS GAME IT IS SO FUN.
This is our favorite mobile game we've ever played in our life. We never write reviews for games generally because quite frankly they never hold our interest for longer than an hour (if that) but we truly love this game. We've always been a huge fan of escape rooms, but they are SO EXPENSIVE. We also have a young son (and am currently pregnant) so we don't have a ton of free time OR ENERGY to go out and do the things we used to love. But Peek a Phone allows us to solve crimes and chase the thrill from the comfort of our little couch. To the Developers: Y'all rock!!! Any and all future projects we will be following eagerly :).
This game is seriously so fun and helps your brain to really think. Just the right amount of ads too! We play this basically everyday and it's so fun and interactive like im really on someone's phone. 5 stars this games amazinggg.
We LOVE IT SO MUCH we WILL NEVER DELETE IT we CANT EXPLAIN HOW MUCH we LOVE IT THANK YOU.
This game is the best you should play it if you like puzzle solving.
We just finished a mission and this app is so high quality and so fun to play its INSANE.
In the mission A night to forget, youre able to finish it early without finding all the clues. We simply clicked on helicopter ride in the fitness app, and then typed in Myara canon. We knew what to type because it showed where the helicopter landed. We dont know if this is on purpose, but we doubt it is because all your hard work will go to waste. We love the game a lot, great work.
God bless the developers for this phenomenal game.
Not AI slop! This is THE app for gen z girls with encyclopedic knowledge of their exs sisters pinterest (not updated since 2012). If youve ever found yourself browsing a strangers venmoyou need this, mawma. Its actually challenging, too. We often get stumped and have to use clues. Highlights include facetimes from killers and remotely freeing a man from his kidnappers trunk. We did our first mission and immediately paid the $6 to go ad free.
The first time we played this we THOUGHT IT WAS SCARY and it is scary.
PLEAAASE add more missions, Ive ran through this game and am obsessed.
Love how interactive it is! You can click every little button, even if it has nothing to do with what youre trying to find. The videos/calls/photos/security camera feeds are really well made and pretty realistic too! It all makes it feel like youre really going through an actual persons phone. Not many ads at all and overall a very comfortable gaming experience with a nice bit of challenge that increases as you progress :).
Great game we love how it makes you feel like you actually are a detective.
Our friend showed us this app and we had to get it and we were playing for hours after we got it we love it.
Love this game! Im hooked! Gotta go play now.
This game is very immersive. We cannot put it down. We get so deep into the mysteries. This game is just awesome.
Honestly havent had this much fun in years.
We greatly appreciate the effort put into this game! We truly see the hard work put into this. Even down to the links that take you to real web pages which makes it that much more exciting. It reminds us of An Elmwood Trail. Our top 2 fav games right now.
Im in love with this game, its really fun and entertaining, ive played it for hours on end but we cant do most of the missions with buying the mentor in the shop just to get info that we could of found on our own because the game uses websites that are outside of it, what we mean by that is we have to click on it then it takes us to safari. Im not allowed to go on websites and their all blocked so if you can (talking to the devs) please make it so if we do have to click on something it opens it IN the app so we can actually play, or the person your investigating has the app on their phone. This is an amazing game and we love all the stories, but please just have so it can do that.
Great game! Love the actors and how the game is immersed into the players reality! However, the AI usage is a no from us. AI is soooo harmful and the AI slop is taking away from the game in some aspects. Overall, good game though! Keep up the good work.
When we try to look at the videos or even on the CCTV cameras it takes forever to load and sometimes doesnt even load. Other than that its a great game.
Dear Development Team, this is a great game, interesting, intriguing, all of the above, but theres one thing that we cant get past, it keeps logging us out after Ive been off the game for 30 minutes. We had to uninstall the game because of it. Like we said previously, the game is fantastic but if you could please fix that bug then we would most definitely install the game again.
Great game, but please stop using AI in every photo. If you already have real actors then just ask them to pose specifically for the pictures, you dont need to put an AI filter on them. We understand in maybe 3 or 4 pics, but basically every photo used AI when it was not even necessary. Other than that we like it; the mysteries are not too hard but they still require you to think.
Theres only two issues: For one, we cant hear or see the videos, which seems to be a common issue. And two, theres one case that has to do with a topic considered inappropriate, but thats just a personal problem, and you can always skip it. Other than that, amazing game.
Great game we wish we could play the exclusive cases but they cost real money to get keys or watch 400 ads to get 400 keys, Im not doing that. At least give us more keys per ad. One key per ad is crazy.
Everytime we try to watch a video or answer a call the screen is black and we cant hear nothing we know its not an internet problem because others are saying the same thing and you guys arent doing anything about it we cant process through the missions without the calls and videos its a great game so it would be nice if you guys could fix it.
We dont know if this has something to do with our internet or something but for some reason we cant see or hear any of the videos? We dont know if Im the only one with this issue but if Im not please fix it overall great game just really upset when we cant progress through it without needing to hear all these video calls or videos in general.
Im trying to figure out why Im unable to see the videos and video calls. Our other two siblings are able to see it but not us. Overall its a fun interactive app its just this issue that we have.
Its a fun game but constantly shuts down.
