About this game

Join the legendary detective Sherlock Holmes in his unbelievable new investigations!

Something wicked is going on in the worlds of well-known books – their plots are changing, with the main characters being defeated while the villains prevail. The magic of literature is at work here, and its magic is real! Now, The Hound of the Baskervilles, Alice in Wonderland, The Wizard of Oz, and many other classic novels are nothing like you remember them.

Help Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson restore the original plots of the books, deliver justice by solving tricky match-3 puzzles or unravelling hidden object scenes, and complete thrilling quests while searching for the reasons and patterns behind the events. These world-renowned stories helped shape the history of mankind, so they carry enormous power – and whoever can control that power, will be able to rule the universe. Make sure it falls into the right hands!

Set off on an exciting detective adventure, solve ingenious puzzles and investigate crimes without delay before the real world turns upside down too!

What I love: 1. Sherlock and Watson exploring the worlds of other books to solve mysteries. 2. Option to play match 3 or explore the scene. 3. Individual soundscapes for each location. 4. Rich colours and design. What I don't love: 1. When I zoom in on a scene it gets blurry. I play another G5 game, Hidden City, on the same device and the graphics are far sharper. The fuzziness makes it less immersive and very hard to find smaller objects, especially in spot the difference mode. Hence 3 stars.

Pretty good game, with beautiful graphics and interesting story, i played countless hours and would still probably be playing if it would be working. After the title screen I get a black screen and the game never starts, i tried everything, reinstalled it a few times, played around with my network settings etc, but it still fails to launch. I am giving a one star review, because I have reached out to their customer support and never actually heard back. Seems like they really don't care. Shame.

This game is ok but many things don't add. You don't always get experience when you solve a location. That should be standard. You don't always level up a location when you solve it. The % stays the same till you play and win the same location 2-3 times. Very annoying. You play a location, you win it, you should ALWAYS level up your %. P.S. Thanks for your answer but in that way you make people frustrated and it's getting boring. It's rewarding to see your lvl going up after solving a location

Hello, thank you for your review! Indeed, if you have already reached a high location rank, you may need to investigate it several times before you see the % increase. We are trying to keep the game challenging enough to be interesting for players. We will surely consider your comments!
