Criminal Case

Investigate Cases Through Hidden-Object Puzzles

Criminal Case is an adventure game from Pretty Simple that puts you in the role of a crime investigator. You examine detailed scenes, search for relevant objects, collect evidence and follow a sequence of cases through a continuing police story. It suits players who enjoy casual puzzle solving with a clear narrative goal rather than standalone levels.

From Crime Scene to Suspect

Finding clues is only part of each investigation. Evidence can lead to laboratory tasks, suspect interviews and further searches as you work toward identifying the person responsible. The structure gives each case a familiar rhythm: inspect a scene, process what you find, question characters and use the results to move the story forward.

A Large, Established Adventure Game

The app has recorded a 4.55/5 rating from more than 4.3 million reviews and has passed 100 million installs. Those figures place it among the most widely played entries in its category. Its accessible search gameplay makes it easy to start, while the linked cases provide a reason to keep progressing.

What to Expect During Longer Sessions

• Best suited to: players who like detective stories, visual searches and episodic progression.
• Core activity: locate hidden objects, gather evidence and connect clues to suspects.
• Session design: an energy-based system can limit how long you continue in one sitting, so progress may be spread across shorter play periods.
