HOW SURE ARE WE
Small app: combines its grossing ranks with ratings growth (132 new ratings a month on average since launch). Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2.6 times, so the range is wide. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

Interessante

O ideial é que tenha jogado o 1 criminal case, este é o 2, nos primeiros níveis não parece que vai ser bom como no 1 mas depois fica interessante! Recomendo

★★★★★May 28, 2026
Great

I love the game, but I genuinely do not like the fact that there is a ad after every little thing that I do such as getting a star from one of the crime scenes or just making progress on one of the crime scene scenes and then I also don’t like the fact that we have to use a star for almost every little thing because I feel like personally if I already had to use a star to talk to a certain suspect, I should be able to talk to that suspect without using a star every other time after that, and then another thing that can kind of irritate me is the weight when it comes to getting something examined but other than that, the game is really good and I like the fact that they give us the opportunity to watch a ad if we want more coins or if we need more energy still a really great game though

★★★★★May 10, 2026

Store description

A murder has been reported on Ocean Shore, Detective. Welcome to Pacific Bay — where paradise has a dark side. Criminal Case: Pacific Bay is the second season of the award-winning hidden object detective series that has turned more than 100 million players into detectives. Search crime scenes for clues, examine the evidence, interrogate the suspects — and when the proof is solid, arrest the killer yourself. Standalone story: no prior season needed. INVESTIGATE CRIME SCENES Every case starts at the scene of the crime. Search gorgeous hand-drawn locations for hidden objects and vital clues, race the clock for the best score, and earn the stars that move your investigation forward. RUN THE LAB Bring your findings to the Pacific Bay crime lab. Analyze samples, decode messages, reconstruct torn documents and match fingerprints. In this city, every detail talks — if you know how to listen. INTERROGATE THE SUSPECTS Bring witnesses and suspects in for questioning. Compare their statements with the facts, catch them lying, and profile your killer trait by trait until only one name is left. ARREST THE KILLER Most mystery games end when you find the last object. Criminal Case is where it gets serious: match the evidence to your suspects and put the right one behind bars. Get it wrong, and a killer walks free. A WHOLE CITY TO CLEAN UP From the boardwalk of Ocean Shore to the swamps of Bayou Bleu, from the movie studios of Ivywood Hills to the casinos of Paradise City — every neighborhood of Pacific Bay is a different slice of America, and every one of them hides a killer. Case after case, the deeper you dig, the clearer it becomes: something is rotten in paradise. MEET YOUR PARTNERS Officer Amy Young — rookie, brilliant, and far too honest for this city. Detective Frank Knight — veteran, cynical, and hiding more than he lets on. With Chief Marquez's team behind you and a coroner who swears the corpses talk to her, you never investigate alone. FROM THE MAKERS OF THE ORIGINAL Facebook Game of the Year 2013. More than 100 million detectives worldwide. Pacific Bay is season two of the saga that defined crime investigation games on mobile — still updated, still free, still one of a kind. Cleaned up Pacific Bay back in the day? Welcome back, partner. Amy saved you a seat, and Frank saved you the paperwork. BETTER WITH FRIENDS Connect with your friends to team up on investigations, compare your detective skills on the leaderboards, and send each other energy and gifts. SEASON 2 OF 8 Pacific Bay is one chapter of the Criminal Case saga. Start here, or go back to Grimsborough where it all began — then follow your badge around the world, through time, and all the way to Paris. Criminal Case: Pacific Bay is free to play, with optional in-app purchases (you can disable these in your device settings). Terms of Service: https://prettysimplegames.com/legal/terms-of-service Privacy Policy: https://www.prettysimplegames.com/legal/privacy-policy The tide can wash away footprints, Detective. It can't wash away evidence.
