While it is true what the others said that this has nothing to do with mystery or detectives, the pictures are interesting with good color and you can adjust the puzzles by number of pieces, you can have it show only the edge pieces and it seems to have all the desirable features for jigsaws. The problem on reviewer had with "the arrows" back and forward was not a problem for me so might be a ...Show more

I recommend this game!

IT WOULD BE GREAT IF THE ARROWS ACTUALLY WORKED

Once Again, these pictures have nothing to do with "detectives" or a crime. Speaking of pictures, on the last game I had issues with the arrows that wouldn't scroll past page 5. They clearly used the same glitchy format because I had this issue once again! No matter what I did at that point, the arrows would not take me back to anything before page 6 on every box! Maybe this game has a detective ...Show more

There are Achievement Trophies to earn and a Top Scores leaderboard. There are no options to access any of those features to find out what achievements you are striving to achieve. You can save your puzzle's progress but you can't save the completed puzzle image nor can you download the image as a screensaver or wallpaper, you can't even admire the completed image because they disappear immediately.
There is a box to store extra pieces, but there are no options to categorize, label, or sort these stored pieces, nor is there an option to fetch or retrieve certain pieces because you can't sort and label these stored pieces. The current sort option simply scrambles the pieces supposedly to the correct area, such as the top, bottom, right, or left side.

There is an option to post a Pictured Image of the puzzle you are working on, allowing you to choose three different sizes (x1, x2, or x3) You can also opt to Ghost the Image on the Background (the puzzle is assembled on top of the ghosted image) It doesn't, however, give you the option to choose the Opaqueness of the Ghosted Image to make the image more or less visible, depending on how difficult you want the puzzle assembly to be. The "ghosted image isn't "ghosted" it's simply a large, stationary picture.

There is an available Magnifying Glass to enlarge sections and a Hint feature in case you get stumped. You can easily become "stumped" because the puzzle connection tabs connecting two pieces together, never appear as an actual match (the tab on puzzle piece A looks nothing like the opening in puzzle piece B) most of the time the colors don't even appear to match up because they are using cheap software.

You can also choose the Resolution, opt for a single Custom Cursor (a tiny cursor at that!) or change the color of the background to a pastel shade of Pink, Green, Blue, or Gray. Even though they are pastels, these basic color options tend to be too dark with most of the puzzles, so being able to adjust the intensity of the background colors at the very least, makes sense, doesn't it?

Any Puzzle can be modified with Size options, the Shape of the puzzle pieces, and whether or not you want the pieces to Rotate, but even then, it's not optimized to allow you to assemble a puzzle much bigger than 300 pieces. A 300 Piece Puzzle purchased off the shelf would be labeled for ages +5 years old and up! There's an old jigsaw meme that says "I just completed a puzzle in one week and the box says 2-5 years"...great motto for Jigsaws by this developer, eh?

Just put this glitchy puzzle in the rearview mirror and drive on over to The Woods Forum where I guarantee you will have more fun! thewoodsforum.boards.net

Why Use Titles Unrelated To The Puzzles?

Needless to say, 8 Floor has been busy digging up the most dreadful subject matter, models and locations for this collection. These devs have no eye for beauty and don't care about what they throw into the box. It is apparent in every release.

Absolutely none of the puzzles are related to detectives or crime. Sorting and assembling the pieces is a pain, the features are of little use, puzzle size is limited. The very pastel background colors, because their depth or brightness can't be changed, don't work with the majority of the puzzles. It actually makes matching the pieces a bit harder.

It's a shame that this dev sticks to the same unappealing everything and doesn't make an effort to improve. Once again 500 puzzles just go to waste. Perhaps they are a bit confused and believe that one star is the goal, rather than 5 stars?! I personally think they are simply lazy!! Show less

I don't recommend this game.
