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 this magic is real! Now, The Hound of the Baskervilles, Alice in Wonderland, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, and many other classic novels are not at all like you remember them.

Help Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson restore the original plots of the books and deliver justice by solving tricky match-3 puzzles or unraveling hidden object scenes, and complete thrilling quests while searching for the reasons and patterns behind the events. These world-renowned stories helped to 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 in 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!

Absolutely favorite game Can't wait for new books to open. I have changed my rating due to being unable to watch ads to gain rewards after spending money to buy something for the game. Within a day the ads disappeared. I think maybe the game thinks I will spend more money to buy the helpers I was receiving for watching the ads if they took the ads away. Other players voice the same complaint. I still enjoy the game. Just not like before. I mainly play now just to pass the time.

Thanks for your comment! It is possible to make in-game purchases, but despite the fact that the game gets more challenging for players, playing it doesn't require making purchases. If you need any help, consider using free tools and boosters available as rewards.

Love the concept, great graphics. Maybe a little too good, objects are difficult to find, too many per scene & not enough time to search. I use an average of 3 tools per scene, no tools can be purchased with coins. I have 1,982,500 coins that I can only use to unlock new scenes. I don't play as much as I would, it's too frustrating. Update, 5/6/26 I just used 11 watches, 3 magnifying glasses, and a compass to complete a level 5 scene. Absolutely ridiculous.

Thank you for your review, Maggie! We aim to make Sherlock challenging, but certainly not frustrating for players. We highly appreciate your feedback and will continue improving the game! As for the coins, you can purchase Noble Lady's Hand Fan and Anti-Bomb tools, Order of Merit, and Order of the Bath talismans in the game shop.

I like the game, don't get me wrong, but I constantly have issues with my purchases, paying for them and receiving nothing. Usually, I write out one of those stupid tickets, and they give me what I'm owed until today. Wrote them multiple times, and it took a full day for a response. That response was not that they gave me what I paid for but just that it was solved!? Very much disappointed with them
