Detective Holmes app review: let the search begin

Reviews

Introduction

Hidden object games have a massive following and it seems those who love this style of game are always on the hunt for the next best thing. That next best thing for your collection may just be the Detective Holmes app, which can be enjoyed on your iPod touch, iPad, and iPhone. With this game you will be playing as Sherlock Holmes as you hunt for a number of hidden objects and unfold the story as you go. What's great is that once you download the app that's it: that price gets you everything and there are no other features/tools that you will need to unlock.

Addictive Story Line and Gameplay

If you’re up for a challenge and a puzzling adventure then this is the game for you. There's nothing quite like a hidden object game to draw you in and have you hooked pretty much right away. You just want to keep pulling back the layers as you dig deeper and deeper into this mysterious story.

As with most of these styles of games there is a backstory. This one centers on an exhibit that is worth quite a bit. This exhibit has been stolen from the Lord Crowley collection. The clues point in the direction of India but you'll need to be smart in order to catch this crook.

 

Elements of Fun

In order to catch the thief you will be exploring the many sights, sounds, and marvels from England to India. In total you will travel to over 20 locations, picking up clues and solving puzzles along the way. There are a number of mini-games you will be forces to solve as well so you'll really need to stay on your toes. The puzzle in this game is actually based on stories of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle who was known for his crime and adventure fiction; in particular, the character of Professor Challenger.

It's important to note you really need to be observant in this game. As the developer points out the key factor in solving the case could appear to be the most minor detail. You always have to be on the hunt, you always have to remember what you have seen and read, and you need to think like a true detective.

I really enjoy the gameplay here and I find it very easy to get lost in this game for large chunks of time. You just keep telling yourself one more clue, one more object, one more mini-game...and you are just unable to put it down.
