About this game

Sherlock is a computerized version of logic puzzles, where you're presented with a series of clues that help you to determine the exact locations of all of the images on the playing board. The puzzles are all 4x4, 5x5 or 6x6. Each row of the playing board contains images of the same type (faces, houses, numbers, fruit, street signs, letters, etc). The game scrambles the locations of the items in each row (without showing you their locations) and then presents to you a set of graphical clues that describe the positional relationships of different images. You use the clues to deduce where things can't be (and where they HAVE to be) until you know where all of the images are located.

50,000 puzzles in each size for a total of 150,000 puzzles! The puzzles in the Free, Pro, Ultra, and Zen versions of the game are all unique, the four versions of the game share NO common puzzles.

I am so happy that this exists. I was thinking one day about how much I missed that old sherlock puzzle game. I figured that it was lost to time, and looked it up just to see if anyone on the internet remembered what I was talking about. It's fantastic, the same nostalgic graphics (plus some pleasant alternate options), magnifier, explanations, and best of all NO ADS. An absolute gem 💎 Thank you.

Honestly one of my favorite puzzle games, installed on every phone I've had for nearly a decade now if memory serves me well. The sole reason for the 4* is that, as of late, it keeps wiping my progress and putting me back at puzzle 1, as well as resetting any changed settings in-game. After doing the first ~30 puzzles six or so times now, this joke my phone is playing on me has worn a bit thin.. Hopefully it's a bug that can be fixed.

Version 1.6.2 should be in the App Store shortly (somewhere between an hour and a week, depending upon Google's review process...). It completely changes the way the game maintains your player setup, settings, and progress. Once it's installed, if you continue to have lost-progress problems, please email me at everett@kaser.com.

Great version of the Windows game I grew up with. Game runs smoothly and is nicely divided in 4x4, 5x5, and 6x6. Plenty of puzzles to go around If I HAD to remove a single point (which I won't) it's because I miss that jaunty tune that used to play in the windows version, and the midi-rendition of hallelujah when you solved a puzzle. but that hardly detracts from the gameplay
