HOW SURE ARE WE
Not in any grossing chart, so this comes from ratings growth (7.1 new ratings a month on average since launch): revenue grows with new ratings, more slowly for apps that collect ratings fast. Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2 times, and big earners tend to come out low. 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.

Price and subscription33%

6 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ The game was not challenging at all. It reminded me of Dora. The character would ask simple questions and the puzzles were just as simple. At least the designs were pretty.
★★★★★ I don't want to replay the whole thing just to get to the end - so basically I feel cheated out of my money.
★★★★★ So this game would be ideal if your looking to spend money to be occupied for no more than 2 hours.
Crashes and freezes22%

4 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ It always crashes right before the beginning of the first chapter.
★★★★★ The game is pretty stable - but it crashed once and apparently that was when I was to receive a key to the office so I never got the key.
★★★★★ This game has great potential, but it keeps crashing every few minutes.
Bugs, things not working17%

3 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ I can't get the key to Remington's office. At first, I thought the lock pick would get me in. I have done everything necessary but Apparently the girl is supposed to show up and give me a key but I can't get the girl…
★★★★★ This game has great potential, but it keeps crashing every few minutes. Very frustrating!!!
★★★★★ It got to the point where I deleted the app and re-downloaded it and still it says it's broken!

Phenomenal Mystery Game

This is an amazing game that stands the test of time. Highly recommend this as well as the other Detective Grimoire games.

★★★★★Sep 4, 2025
Such a good game it’s a mystery itself

I had played tangle tower before this game and loved it check out my review on that game I figured out about this game afterwards Hungry for another adventure with Grimoire and it’s a lot better than I expected full of fun and interesting characters Grimoire’s sarcastic humor would always leave me with a smile they say the game is to short but I think it’s a reasonable time it was the first game with him I think the games can only get better another complaint i read was that it crashes a lot but I’ve only had this happen once and it does auto save frequently so I wouldn’t be to worried if you need a new type of game and are a fan of mystery than this is the game for you $3 very well spent.

★★★★★Nov 15, 2024
So freaking good

This is definitely a murder mystery game you really don’t wanna miss out on; the fact that it’s animated, has great audio, and voice acting AND has a very good storyline just amazes me. if you are looking for a murder mystery game that has unique characters and a funny detective then I highly suggest this one. Tangle Tower holds a dear place in my heart so, when I found this I was extremely happy, and believe me, y’all are gonna want to download this extraordinary masterpiece-and you DEFINITELY won’t regret it :3 Ps: thank you to the people who made this amazing game, I hope to see more people play it and I also hope there will be more games like it ;3

★★★★★Apr 27, 2024
I want more!

From the second I downloaded the game to the very end I couldn't put it down. Everything was perfect. The music was beautiful and the characters had so much story to each one of them. The only mistake I noticed was that when asked, Folder had no interest in himself. Other than that, this has been my favorite app in a very long time. Still...a year+ later I want a sequel. I've played it multiple times but I just want more. 2020 EDIT: the sequel was incredible and again, I’m left needing more!

★★★★★Feb 17, 2024
Another good mystery

I played Tangle Tower and downloaded this game as soon as I saw it. The art and style is a bit more bright and pops a bit more, with some parts of the interface more intuitive, or perhaps having played Tangle Tower I now knew at the start you could talk to witnesses/suspects about clues and other characters. The voice acting and story aren't quite as good as in Tangle Tower, which also had more potential motives and explanations as you learn about the house and its inhabitants. you move toward the final reveal. I also miss the banter between two detectives, and there is a character in this one that reminds me way too much of that child in The Secret of Kells and also serves mainly as a story accelerator. Finally, I prefer the map navigation of the first game. Overall, however, this is still a fun game and a recommended purchase. I hope they bring us another in the future, as long as they avoid shortcuts and invest in an engrossing story and good writing.

Cute!

Quick little game. Reminds me of Ace Attorney. Fun to play; thank you! I needed no hints. :)

Store description

Detective Grimoire has been called to investigate a murder. The owner of a small tourist attraction, found deep within the heart of the marshes, seemingly killed by the very mythical creature his attraction is based around... Explore the surrounding area, inspect the scene of the crime, grill the suspects, solve puzzles, search for clues and uncover the secret of the swamp! "Definitely one of the better crime games I've played and it's a treat to experience" - Mark Brown "Detective Grimoire is a better detective game than the likes of, say, L.A. Noire [...] The designers knew what they wanted the game to be and ensure that nothing got in the way of it. As a result, it’s thoroughly enjoyable" - Chris Priestman
