Its time to change the format of Criminal Case. The mysteries and graphics still make it additive but beyond that, it would be refreshing find clues differently. Rummaging thru a bag, solving a code, matching facial features are now becoming boring. Am sure Pretty Simple will be able to find a new way to leep players engahed throughout the game.

It's a pretty fun game. I like the variety of mini game options. There seems to be no limit to the ads you can watch for free energy. My only complaint is that the "analyzing" mini games take way too long, and the only way to speed them up is real money. You can't even use in-game coins to speed it up. Some of the analyzing parts take 18 to 24 HOURS. Giving us a way to use coins instead of just real money would be helpful.

Frustratingly difficult to complete tasks in this game. You make progress with stars you earn in the hidden object portion of the game, but you have to complete the hidden object 3-4 times per star. BTW, it costs a quarter of your energy to complete one run. Don't expect to get very far unless you want to spend money to buy energy to move on. Also, be prepared for random ads to pop up on you.

This is the best hidden object game I have ever played! I've been playing these types of games for many years now and they are always my favorite. It always keeps me guessing on who the actual murderer is and is suspenseful til the very end of every chapter. I also like how the stories are all interwoven and characters reappear later throughout the game. Excellent character development across the board too! Highly recommend this game!!

Had potential to be a fun, mindless time, wasting game but you have to, constantly, wait on doing more investigations, etc to further the game along... unless you wanna purchase items to quicken the wait time and get more items to help solve cases and so forth. Rather upsetting as I like crime case investigation stuff. Ended up un-installing it. Unless you wanna pay to play or youre ok with the wait time, i don't really recommend this game...

Fun game with a steampunk vibe. Note: I have since edited a downgrade. While the game is still quite entertaining, there are far too many unwanted ads that interrupt the gameplay. It's one thing to click and watch an ad to gain extra energy etc. but when ads frequently pop up in the middle of playing for no gain, it's extremely annoying.

The criminal case game used to be fun. Then, all my friends quit playing because it forced you to download and install a new app to play the mysteries of the past. Now, the ads have gotten out of control. They pop up unexpectedly causing misclicks so the game devs get credit. It is super annoying to the point I have finally decided to quit playing.

The game is fun, but I have a few complaints. For starters, the amount of time it takes to analyze things is a bit ridiculous, 12hrs? C'mon. Also, you run out of energy really quickly (you earn 1 energy every 90sec & it takes 20 energy to do anything), but gain it back very slowly...making it difficult to play the game for more than 10min at a time, unless you want to spend a lot of real money. Lastly, the thing that bothered me the most, was the stars. You spend a lot of time revisiting crime scenes to earn stars & then once you solve a crime, they make you start over on the stars. I had approx 10 stars at the end of an investigation & after I began the next one (which took 24 hrs to unlock), my star count was back to zero. Because of all of these things, I uninstalled the game.

Starts off loud, prompts for immediate usage of privacy and only way to opt out is through link that goes out to web browser. Once that's accepted (just to move along) it goes into prompting a walk through. Unable to back out to turn off/lower volume. Will not allow user to navigate out of crime scene. Once the 1st scene is through it prompts to go through 'autopsy' of the body. Tried to click on the gear icon (top left) multiple times with no success, to change game settings. Uninstalled.

My sister was the first to introduce me to the family of Criminal Case games - although I am relatively sure she no longer actively plays them - I have been playing 6 out of the 7 for at least 2 years now. My only annoyance has to do with the "share with friends" feature - the trouble is, if you are playing through Facebook rather than as a download onto your device, it is impossible to share with someone who plays through a download. However, other than that, I thoroughly recommend the game(s).

I love this game except the ads are after everything you do. So you can end up watching a couple ads in one minute. I'm ok with ads, (even frequent ones) except after the ads another one pops up advertising ad free playing and it freezes the game, EVERY time. It's very frustrating. Now it's telling me i need to log into Facebook to send gifts but it shows that I'm already logged in. If these don't get fixed soon, I'm uninstalling.

Love this game! Tasks are a little repetitive but the characters and storylines more than make up for it. Love the ties to real life events and cultural trends of the past (Old West, World's Fair etc.). They creatively change the names a little to make it even more fun! It's like reading a good novel and you get to be one of the characters! Now that I've finished it, I miss the the Airship team! Give it a try!

I love this game. I've played 4 other criminal case episodes and completed them. This is a great game, but what's going on with the ad's all of the sudden. I understand an ad here and there but not the ads you can skip out of. I can't play because it kicks an ad in as soon as the game starts then ad is zoomed in so its impossible to rich the X in the corner. How aggravating.

This one is my favorite of the series but unfortunately the ads have made it impossible to enjoy. Banners are one thing but being forced to sit through a video for some junk game I have no interest in, that is also being FALSELY advertised after each individual scene is, quite frankly, just madness. I'm all for supporting the developer but the ads are too much and the only way to shut them down is playing in airplane mode. It's despicable. I have spent hundreds over the years to play these games

Keeps my mind active when I have some downtime. It's my favorite of the series for sure, however I haven't tried the latest version. The ads for extra points don't effect the playability of the game. Obviously if your complaints are towards what ads are playing, then I suggest you try searching something else in your search engine. Your phone is likely to show ads based on your browsing history.

Completing a scene in a short amount of time plays a huge factor in your score. For the past couple of months ads have started while smack dead in the middle of a scene. It completely ruins your score. The same issue with some of the other criminal case games. I have stopped making in app purchases until they fix it. It used to be a periodic ad when you were finished with a scene. It seems like they purposely screw up your score to get you to make purchases.

If you like repetition repetition you'll like this game. Good time killer. The things that keep it from 5 stars are the ads. I have no problem having some ads, the price of free, I get that. After a recent update they have an ad that pops up for the paid version that you cannot close. You have to close the app to clear it. It is really annoying during the happy hour bonus time, when you have to close and reload app 4 or 5 times in a 5 min period.

The story line is awesome. Thw graphics are good. The concept is pretty cool. Unfortunately, hidden object games get old real fast. Yes there are some mini games in between, but it would be great if I stead of 9 hidden object boards per chapter, there were maybe 5 and the other 4 are random mini games. Also, there you don't get a lot of energy during this game, so you may be able to play about 4-5 rounds at a time. That comes out to be about 5-10 minutes depending on how fast you completely a board.

I do love this game. It is very interesting and I think that the developers did a very good job with the art, phrases/dialogue and cases. My biggest problem is there used to be an option to watch videos for free coins, free energy and free spins on the daily wheel. BUT NOW you can watch maybe one video PER DAY and that's it. You can't rack up energy or money and they've been cheating me out of my daily spins on the wheel. Sorry, I don't want to spend actual money on these things. FIX THIS!

Like the other Criminal Case games, this one has interesting stories and characters. Each case is separate but there is always a theme and a connection to the larger picture. This one has an ancestor of a modern character from the previous game, and the detectives rely on technologies of the Day. Game isn't expensive, either. I hope they keep making them.
