Cryptogram Detective

don't like an ad in the middle of game or take a sip when I'm on a roll

Super fun puzzle game! Reasonable amount of challenge! My only issue, so far, is that I've paid to remove the ads, and you get ads for rewards, which is completely fine! But whenever I choose to watch an ad for a double reward, I NEVER get the double reward, just the ad and a normal reward. It's kind of really frustrating! Absolutely fun game, overall!

This would be an interesting game. BUT The ads are so long !! you get 2 to 3 minutes of play and the ads are 1 to 2 minutes long! Can you say ridiculous?

I like this game but wish you had a button to toggle to the next letter in the word instead of hunting the number down. might be a bit faster that way

OMG the ads....after every puzzle, if you want a hint, even during the puzzle it says you need a coffee break....really? other wise i really like the game. just less ads please

fun game!

love this game keeps me interested.

I enjoy the game, but too many ads and "detective takes a sip" when I am on a roll. I get ads are important for a free game yet too many to really enjoy the game.

So far, I am pleased.

great game, wa-a-ay too many ads.

this game would be fun if there wasn't so many ads all the time

Great game.

I like the game but annoying ads and the game is to high to buy!

I have no idea how but I got money today.

great 👍 game

This is one of those money grabbing games that will frustrate you to spend. Ads that interrupt levels, levels that don't have adequate start points, and actively reductive to increase frustration by slowing you down

This unique way of combining cryptograms with murder mysteries makes these puzzles seriously entertaining. And no timer, which is a big plus with me! So I can relax and enjoy a fun evening playing Cryptogram Detective.

Good game until something popped up to hijack my phone.Delete !

Love the game, the crypto's are fantastic 🤩

it's different from other mystery games I've played. I like figuring out the words

The game is simple and fun, but $8 for no ads is too much. $1.99 or $2.99 would be reasonable and get more people to purchase it.

interesting game. I've always loved cryptograms so it works out fairly well

decent puzzles but there are ads in the middle of levels. uninstalled

relive your mind and read carefully to answer and solve it.

Disappointed. The puzzles aren't that hard, and the flies aren't enough to "solve" the "mystery."

very fun and challenging

So far so good. Interesting game and a twist on crypto games. Ads are inevitable but not annoying.

it's a fun game I enjoy solving the cryptograms

It really makes you think. I thought it would be easy, it's not. I'm enjoying it.

fantastic game, very enjoyable and reading the profiles is pretty awesome

too many ads

Awesome game. Way way too many ads

This is actually fun when you're trying to solve the case. I'm enjoying it very much. It's hard enough for you to really work for answers. I like that.

interesting game

CRYPTOGRAM DETECTIVE IS SO MUCH FUN TO PLAY for me it's hard to stop. The first time I tried it out, I played three cases! If you enjoy cryptogram puzzles you'll enjoy it! If you like clues to solve mysteries, this is the perfect game for you and YOU'LL LOVE IT! If you get stuck there is a "what's this letter" button.

Good fun way to pass the time. It's fun to try to determine 'Who Dunnit!'

ads are obnoxious.

love love this game! it is fantastic and I don't really rate games and leave comments but this game is perfect for people who are neurodivergent because it's interesting, fun and engaging and it doesn't get boring at all! plus the Customer Service people actually help you when you email them which is amazing!

funny

very entertaining.

This could be a great game if it didn't have so many ads. And the price to remove ads is more than other games I've played.

Absolutely love the suspense of the story while trying to figure out the cryptograms Then you have to be a good detective to make sure you made the right choice A really great game Have a wonderful day

love this app

cryptograms are good but after a few cases you have to pay gems to reveal the motive and then to confirm the suspect you have chosen, as well as spending them for hints.

cryptogram game with a great twist.

downloaded......not working

I love this so much.

love this game, it's a good take on the standard word cryptogram puzzele apps, it's much more fun then just seeking words you are truly working towards solving a case. the app is beautiful designed it runs smoothly and barely any ads. plus thing for me is i can save my game that's really nice knowing i won't loose my progress. there's also a ad free purchase for a very reasonable price in my opinion.

fantastic

love this game I have finished all cases that's loaded I wish when they release new cases there's more then 2 or 3

was ok but not now. can't play anymore till updated but won't let me update!

This is a very unique game. It makes you think carefully before you place a letter on top of the number slot. This is*not* a game that you can rush through. I really enjoy playing this game. I do hope that there will be a second version of this game out soon, as I would love to play it as well.

detective work and cryptogram together, I feel so clever😀

the game will let you play one level but the next level you have no option to close the app and restart because a commercial traps you into closing the app

love this game, you have to solve a murder with the clue you get with the cryptogram. I do wish you could choose darker or different backgrounds for the puzzles so you could see the letters easier.

way too difficult

I just wish you could identify the crime scene in an image like the add shows

add voice and sound effects and get rid of the music

makes you actually use logic.

A very fun game! It's a clever way to make cryptogram puzzles—which I love doing—a little more interesting to solve

It be fun and stuff

Fun game!

If you like cipher and logic games then this is the one for you. It's a slice of creativity topped with challenging sprinkles. A big thanks to everyone involved in it's creation! 😀

Wish I could go into previous cases and read verdict and motive when I forgot to read them before clicking next case

after the latest update, the game won't open. no point having a game if it doesn't work!

Great game!

so many ads

I have a good time when I can actually play the game! Not get ads like this.

The Detective Work And Puzzle Is Great,I Love It.

This game is really enjoyable 👍 Hwr, despite annoying Ads popping-up every 30 sec (which is fully understandable), reluctantly the game kept stuck at a certain higher level. As a result, it required player to uninstall & re-install the game! ALL historically accumulated records were sadly gone!!!

Good game. not too difficult, not too easy. well worth the purchase price.

Great game. Get your thinking cap on!

love it

I'm enjoying solving these clues

good fun, and does require solving the mystery

really enjoying the game

Almost an amazing app. The forced ads in the middle of a round are unacceptable. The clues are also insufficient. Once I've uncovered all the clues, it still boils down to a 50/50 guess as to who the guilty party was. More detailed clues are needed.

I really enjoy this game but the ads ruin it for me. They are way too frequent, even cutting into levels. It's obnoxious.

The game is actually quite fun, but the bombardment of ads is insane. I know free games need them, but getting hit with 20-30 seconds of ads after every 2 minutes of gameplay is ridiculous

Fun, but the ads. Majority of the ads are completely inappropriate

Really good game, minimal adverts with a simple design that works effortlessly. You don't need to be a genius to work out Whodunnit as such, yet it does help, if you read all the clues & apply the logic or rationale. I've only started playing this game a few days ago & I'm addicted. It doesn't drain your device battery & it gives you chances to buy in game booster packages. A hidden gem, but 1 game, that I'll be recommending to my crime detecting loving friends + family who are near & far.

addictive!!

ads are short

Still early, but it's been fun so far. Nice alternative to you basic cryptogram game.

I like this game. The clues could be better explained but they are wrong extremely challenging.

I love the game, a bit hard at times, it's not my strong suit, but it's great all the same. Everyone should try it to challenge yourself. The game needs more levels please.

new games ,everyone try this games? thanks

I'm loving this game

u need to have adds show up between cases way to many adds

Great game, well thought out.

so far I've really enjoyed playing. It's not too hard, but also not too easy. I love a challenge.

I must say this game is fun and challenging, it really keeps your interest. I love crptograms, but the little mystery vignettes are very entertaining. Good show!

Bought game to avoid ads. Finished all puzzles, which I enjoyed. Reset them so I could play again. Now I have to buy it again to get rid of ads? Seems wrong since I already paid for it. Will find a different option unless they fix this.

fun and challenging

two puzzles at the same time. I love it!

Fun game. It's just difficult enough to keep it interesting. I really enjoy playing!

super fun very chill

I understand the need for ads, but PLEASE stop running them in the middle of the puzzles. Just wait until the end. It's highly frustrating to be interrupted when I'm in a groove.

I couldn't wait to play this game! It started out so enjoyable, but it's hard to continue, without annoyance, due to the ads. I don't have a problem with ads, but there are so many that you can't play this game with any type of fluidity. Great otherwise. Just a shame that it's too annoying to bother to play.

It's awesome.

great game but the ads right in the middle of playing a game and not even five minutes between ads is RIDICULOUS!!!! deleted game not going to play a game with an add every two minutes or so actually it's not even two minutes between ads ITS RIDICULOUS!!!!

Great concept but too many ads too soon in play. At least let us solve a puzzle.

It's a very enjoyable game, finding clues and solving who the killer is. I'm so glad I downloaded it!

far too many ads , it's after every level.

I think it was something like $4.99 to stop the ads but even if you don't pay to eliminate the ads this game is fun and is bombarding with ads like some of the other crypto games out there with ads popping up while you're trying to solve the game to give you a break time.

Bring more cases. I've completed the full game as of 21 July 2025. Enjoyed it thoroughly. Waiting for new levels.

Too many ads. They always take you back to the game store so you have to reload the game. If you make more than three mistakes you can watch an ad to be revived. But it's not an ad. it's several ads. It's a cute game destroyed by their ad protocols. I uninstalled it.

So. many. ads. constantly. Impossible to enjoy when each part of a level is followed by a 30 second ad.

Too many ads, okay when looking for more letters, but after several letters another ad. One or two after each story would be enough. Needs to have more character descriptions.

Too many ads! Quit interrupting the puzzle to show me an add unless I need it for a hint or something!

This is a great game love it however it says its 84 cases and once I complete level 83 it stuck and not giving the option to move onto the next case. please look into that

Decent game, but FAR too many ads. There's ads after every puzzle, sometimes in the middle of a puzzle of you take long enough, not to mention a constant banner ad at the bottom of the screen. I get needing to pay to remove ads, but they are so intrusive that it ruins the experience.

way to many ads. I can see ads if you miss letters but sometimes I get 2 or 3 ads in one puzzle and don't miss a letter

It gets stuck on loading after a level. The first puzzles are too simple, but I couldn't know if they improve later on.

fantastic games, but ads are constant even half way through a puzzle I will try again later, but for now sadly I'm uninstalling

I am on level 138, and only one letter block is showing. No other buttons are working. No other blocks for letters are visible.

Fun game makes you think however would like to suggest as you progress have a rank up through the grades system ie start at constable and work your way up the ranks case by case.

Enjoyed greatly, but. The puzzle runs larger than the screen occasionally. Got to level 48, with no way to finish the puzzle. The game literally became unplayable.

ads appear in the middle of levels, clues don't add up and are not enough to solve the crimes, ui could use some more features like arrow buttons and zoom feature (one of the levels the word was so long it went off screen)

too many ads but they are short

Only 3 stars as having adverts half way through levels is not ideal, I understand the need for ads but between levels only!!

It was a fun game and I didn't mind the ads until they started popping up in the middle of a puzzle. I immediately uninstalled it.

A fun twist on the cryptogram puzzle. although once you make it to Case 76, you reach the end. Not sure if the developer is planning on adding more or not.

they use ai generated slop for photos that don't even match the clues for who is the culprit, higher an actual artist

I love cryptograms so that part is fine. I don't like being interrupted mid level with an ad and sometimes the clues don't add up to a specific culprit?

Feedback to develop for accessibility features. For visually impaired user, option to choose larger font and possibly dark mode for contrast would help with prolonged gameplay.

I like the game it makes you think of the right letter for the answer instead of looking for items or whole words

It was bad enough when it was doing ads between every single short level. But then it started doing ads in the middle of gameplay. Unacceptable. I would have considered paying to remove the ads, but it gives you no guarantee as to how many puzzles you will get after you have paid to remove them. Uninstalling.

I'm only on the 4th case and I love this game so far. The only suggestion I have is to make the numbers under the letter boxes a little larger - great not too many ads ...yet.

Just kind of boring? Decent twist on old newspaper level cryptogram puzzles, but the stories and puzzles just aren't that interesting.

I enjoy figuring out the clues and trying to decide who did the crime. Not as easy as you might think, but fun.

I really enjoyed it - had good storylines and kept me going onto the next but suddenly there's no more episodes 😕 why?

Fun and challenging for crytogram enthusiasts and people who have detective games like myself are challenged but the game is easy to understand and follow.

Great Concept, 2 Downfalls. The only thing missing is that it needs a back 🔙 & forward ⏩ button on the key board. People like me with fat fingers (lol) don't always hit the right key, so a big left & right movement button would be helpful. It makes a great cryptogram with an extra layer of puzzle to find the culprit. Not just quotes & jokes like most cryptogram games. 2nd, too many ads. I understand to need to watch an ad after each puzzle & if you reach your 3rd strike and watch to continue.

Overall a good game, but ads start in the middle of a game.

Too many ads. Constantly interrupting play. If you need that much ad income, at least pace them better.

The game's premise is excellent. However, the finer detail needs some work. When investigating a crime, the detective looks for three crucial pieces of evidence before making an arrest. Unfortunately, this game expects the player to make a final decision on the culprit without these being in place. In some scenarios a suspect may be the only person with a clear motive. This does not mean that they are guilty though. The player may be given no motive behind the guilty person's crime.

absolutely hooked. fun and quick rounds. a couple of suggestions.. 1. being able to zoom in and out as its a bit small 2. the baseline story as a pop up button in the puzzle. I do so many in a row I get the cases confused 😅

Excellent workout. I only wish my mother who worked at Bletchley Park was around today to enjoy it. She loved murder mystery novels and was adept at piecing clues together.

Could be fun game but too many ads. 1 ad to Start level and 2 ads at the end of every clue. Usually 9 total. Gets boring after so many ads.

I really enjoyed it, and ended up paying to go ad-free. Currently, it stops at level 72, so I'm looking forward to more levels in the future. Some of the "clues" don't add up, but otherwise a good game.

I absolutely love the idea of the unique spin on this game, how fun! However, for me, the numbers are too small to see easily and the background colour doesn't have enough contrast for clarity on my phone screen, so I've had to uninstall it, unfortunately. I would definitely download again if I get a tablet.

This really had the makings of a great game. It looks good, the mechanics are there, and the stories were interesting enough to keep me playing. However, this app commits a major foul that makes it unplayable for me. It interrupts gameplay with ads. I don't mind if they're before or after a puzzle, but putting them right in the middle of one as you're trying to solve it is attrocious. Would rather play one of the other similar apps that don't do this. Really a shame.

I was really enjoying the game up until level 5 or 6 when the commercials started to interrupt game play. I don't have the patience sorry

Love the concept, but the ads are effectively a paywall. If you want to charge for your game, then just post a demo and then charge for the full version.

Ads for bonuses? Fine. Ads between levels? Annoying but typical. But ads MID LEVEL AT RANDOM? Absolutely unacceptable, uninstalled.

There is never any reason to interrupt gampelay in the middle of a level with ads, especially when your levels only last a minute or two. Just plain rude and greedy. Game itself is fine if you like cryptograms.
