Ghost Detective in IOS

Solve your murder mystery

Walkthrough, Guilds, Tips on this special game

Our Expert Score

82/100

Ghost Detective brings a supernatural twist to the hidden object genre, and it works remarkably well. Set in a hauntingly beautiful 3D New Orleans, you play as a recently deceased detective trying to solve your own murder. This narrative hook immediately sets it apart from more generic 'find-the-item' games. The blend of hidden object scenes and Match-3 puzzles keeps the gameplay loop from becoming repetitive, though fans of one genre might find the other a bit of a distraction.

The game is visually stunning, with detailed locations that feel alive (or appropriately undead). The inclusion of allies from both the living and dead worlds adds a nice layer of character depth to the story. However, it’s worth noting that the 'materials' and 'crafting' systems can feel a bit grindy, especially for those looking for a pure puzzle experience. As a Netflix member exclusive, it offers a high-production-value experience without the annoyance of traditional mobile ads or microtransactions, which is a massive breath of fresh air for the genre.
