3 cases, 3 ambitious detectives, paranormal activity, an evil organization, a dangerous mission. Sounds good to me!

I had to laugh when Dorian made the brilliant statement, 'This fire feels hot." Really?? So that started the demo which I did enjoy. I liked the puzzles and HOPs. all had a nice gratifying challenge. The morphs and other collectibles were moderately difficult to spot in the dark ...Show more

3 cases, 3 ambitious detectives, paranormal activity, an evil organization, a dangerous mission. Sounds good to me!

I had to laugh when Dorian made the brilliant statement, 'This fire feels hot." Really?? So that started the demo which I did enjoy. I liked the puzzles and HOPs. all had a nice gratifying challenge. The morphs and other collectibles were moderately difficult to spot in the dark scenes. The always appreciated popout tab kept me on track.

The dark scenes weren't overly cluttered and held the usual tasks though not so many this time and didn't slow the pace of the game. Anna was not in the demo. Blackthorne was a bit cheeky! Brwon was more laid back. I don't care much for changing from one character to another but it does keep things interesting.

The helicopter arrived to whisk us away to the forboding island as the demo ended. I own just a couple of Detectives United games. This one surprisingly caught my attention, enough to want to buy the game. Seems like a busy adventure once we land on the island.

Extra content is a little light, imo, a smaller amount of HOPs and games which I prefer. I thought the wallpapers were horrible! Great map. No tech issues in the demo. Show less

I recommend this game!

I own all 3 of the games in this anthology and all are terrific games. I don't need to buy any today but highly recommend this set to anyone who doesn't have them yet. It's a good opportunity to play 3 games at this price.

I recommend this game!

I love the first 3 parts together. It's something new.
The games are very enjoyable. It's dark in color, but not too dark. Puzzles are well done. The queen has commissioned us because something has been stolen. What we don't know is that several are now involved. We play Mystery Tracker Agent Brown at the beginning. They are joined by Grim Tales' Anna Gray and Haunted Hotel's James Blackthorne.

What we don't know is that several are now involved. We play Mystery Tracker Agent Brown at the beginning. They are joined by Grim Tales' Anna Gray and Haunted Hotel's James Blackthorne. A super good trio, which fits really well into the story.

Here you will definitely have a lot of fun and puzzle lovers will get their money's worth. Show less

I am not going to reivew the entire game as still playing. Just to say I was not locked out and found this game lengthy and well worth the price for a change. You may have the same issue as the previous reviewer so buyer beware

Even though these are old and we already played them, it is fun to do them again. The storyline and the art work are great, and it is a pleasure to see Richard again with his snarky comments. Really miss him in the newer games.

I recommend this game!

was pleasantly surprised to see all three games in one. well worth the price. loved the choice of characters combining anna gray from grim tales with James Blackthorn from haunted hotel and mystery trackers, agent Brown. did not really like to find shadow objects in hos so much. the games were challanging but not too difficult. I own all the detectives united, haunted hotel, and mystery tracker games that i have seen and love them all. the writers and illustrators and the whole team outdid themselves with this trillogy. great job!

Based on demo only.

So... 3 CEs for the price of 3 SEs... no idea what the extra content (if of any significance?) of this compilation of the first 3 games in this series is about... it's "locked out".

Maybe if there was another release with the next 3 games of the series I would be attracted to buy them together in a BOGO? Well, I have ALL those games already, the first going back to 2018. ...Show more

Maybe if there was another release with the next 3 games of the series I would be attracted to buy them together in a BOGO? Well, I have ALL those games already, the first going back to 2018. So this has a dashboard where you can choose which of the 3 you want to play; they're not sowed together in 1 long thread or blended together.

Don't misunderstand me: those are great games! I just cannot figure out why buy this game unless you don't have any of the 3, and unless it's on a good sale!

I recommend each of the games (check the reviews for each of them), but not as this bundle, unless you don't have ANY of them AND the bundle is with discount. Show less
