Our Expert Score

92/100

Unsolved: Hidden Mystery Games is the ultimate treasure trove for fans of the Hidden Object Puzzle Adventure (HOPA) genre. Developed by the masters at Artifex Mundi, this app serves as a portal to multiple high-quality series like Enigmatis and Grim Legends. The value proposition here is insane; instead of buying dozen different apps, you get a massive collection of mystery stories all under one roof.

The production value is top-notch, featuring beautiful hand-painted scenes, professional voice acting, and compelling narratives that range from gothic horror to supernatural detective work. The gameplay loop of finding items, solving mini-games, and progressing the story is incredibly polished. While it uses a 'Premium Pass' and energy system, the sheer amount of content available for free through regular play is impressive. It’s easily the best hidden object experience on the App Store.

Fun and challenging
Sat Jun 29 2024 DarlaKS

When I first downloaded this game on my iPad, over a year ago, I was excited because it was similar to one I really enjoyed on my Switch, but every time I tried to play it, I couldn’t. The game would prompt me to download content and then there was the spinning circle forever. I tried several times to just leave it alone for hours to keep trying to download, with no success. I recently got frustrated with the games I’d been playing and decided to try this one again. Either our internet is better, or the game has been updated, or both, but it works great now. There is such a wide variety of cases, and within each case, there is a wide variety of challenges. Some of them are easy, some challenging, and some confusing, which is a great mix. You get plenty of hints to help you out when you get stuck, and can watch ads to get additional hints if/when you need them. Energy regenerates slowly, which is my only complaint, though watching ads will give you more energy, and allow you to use less energy for an hour. Currently, I’m using running out of energy as a prompt to get off my tablet, lol, but there are options to use gems, which you can earn at a reasonable rate. I haven’t yet felt a need to purchase gems for extra energy or hints, but I haven’t ruled it out. I do want to support the developers because it’s such a well designed game, so I don’t mind clicking on the ads.

Surprisingly high quality
Sat Jun 14 2025 ClairetyCat

This is probably my favorite app on the whole AppStore right now! I really appreciate the thought, detail, and quality that went into this, including the music. Even the visuals get more detailed as you go along into the more recent stories. I started out playing Enigmatis: Mists of Ravenwood and thoroughly enjoyed it, so I continued onto the next one, Shadow of Karkhala. Apparently though, these are only the second and third stories in the series, the first one is only available on Steam. So obviously it would make more sense to play that beforehand, but for me, I was still able to enjoy it, it’s just that I could tell I was missing some context and background and such. Although, according to some reviews left by fans (without spoiling) the twist in the second book is easily predicted if you’ve played the first game already, so there is that. From my perspective, the twist wasn’t as predictable, but I still sort of expected it so it’s not like playing the first game beforehand would be ruining some masterful and unforeseen outcome. Anyway, since I loved the Enigmatis series so much, I thought I would lend my suggestion to make different stories but with the same main character that we see in it because I did get kind of attached, ahah I just figured it would be cool to see her solve more cases in the future! And see more of Rick and maybe Fang as well.

Great game but few tweaks I would make
Wed May 24 2023 Wayne1207

It’s a great game plenty of mystery’s and challenges that aren’t impossible to figure out but they’re hard enough to take some time with. Along with that, you get free hints after a certain amount of time if you get completely stuck on a part. The part I have an issue with is the energy. Every action you make consumes 5 energy everything from opening doors, picking up items, using said items, etc. everything requires energy so you get around 5-15 minutes of play time before you’re out of energy and have to either watch ads for more, pay for more, or just flat out wait. Overall you get little play time before you have to wait several hours for your energy to be full to actually play a little bit. You could add a small fee to pay to have infinite amount of energy which in my opinion would be worth it since other then the energy is a great game. You could also just add mini games to earn energy or even just reduce the time it takes to get energy and possibly reduce the amount of energy it takes to do every action from five to one or even two that way you still have plenty of time to play but you don’t have an overflowing amount of it to the point that you can just finish the whole mystery in 1 sitting. But as stated before it’s a great game the experience is fun it has an interesting story along with giving you plot details as you go through it, the energy is the only complaint I have for the whole game.

Fun but frustrating
Fri Dec 08 2023 CynthiaCocker

I like the game but it frustrates me. I always need more energy to do the simplest of tasks. I started with The Mist of Ravenwood. The hints aren’t very helpful most of the time and I’ve wasted them accidentally hitting the button while trying to find hidden objects in the picture. I’m not able to find everything needed to access certain areas, like the raven cavity to get the batteries for Becky’s camera, the shop in the logging camp or the footlocker next to the ticket seller. All my tools were lost when the gondola fell into the ocean. Is that supposed to happen? I retrieved 3 of the locks to free the prisoner but made the mistake of placing each as I found it after getting the first piece to open the trapdoor. When I was unable to get across the river, I restarted the game. My 9 year-old grandson enjoys helping me with it. I hope we can get through it to the end. I’d like to try more of the mysteries. I wrote the previous paragraph when I was first starting the game and getting very frustrated. The energy for tasks is still a problem but I’m getting farther along and better at the game. I was able to figure out what I needed and go back for it. I’ve since raised my rating from 3 stars to 5. I’m looking forward to other mysteries when this one is solved.

“You don’t have enough energy to complete this task”
Mon Jun 16 2025 Mominator070

I really want to love this game. But I just can’t because the amount of time you get to play before you burn through all your energy is so excruciatingly short that the longest I’ve ever played at one sitting was a mere 15 minutes. At that point you are given the option of watching an ad for additional energy. However, that energy can last anywhere from a few seconds to about a minute and a half depending on the game. And some of these ads are several minutes long and require your “participation” in order to progress. The gameplay itself is actually great. The puzzles are not super challenging, but still fun and the graphics and stories are actually excellent. In one story you enter a nightmare around, which is extremely well done. This makes it all the more frustrating that you really can’t play it for more than a few minutes at a time. There are offers to pay for additional energy, but what you are really paying for is so confusing that I’m reluctant to buy any of their offers because it feels like it may only give me a few gameplay. I would pay money to play this game with no ads and unlimited energy— it’s that good. But the offer to purchase gems or the option to accumulate a certain number of gems over a week?? it’s way too confusing. I’ve been playing games like this for years and I’ve never come across a game where the options to pay to play was this difficult to understand.

I love this game but….
Sat May 28 2022 Person with bright house

EDIT: it’s nice to see that the developers are doing something about the main complaint of the energy mechanics. I am looking forward to seeing all the new changes with the gems. Thank you for listening to us. :) With most of the reviews being about how poor the energy system is in the game; you’d think they’d try and do something or announce some kind of fix. Like I’d gladly pay to fully unlock the game or pay a subscription for unlimited energy. I want to play the game. But I can play for five minutes at a time it gets annoying. I love this game but I think the energy deal is quite annoying. I wanna sit and play the game not do five things then have to wait for my energy to come back up. You need energy to pick up an item to use an item to open a door it’s on the ridiculous side honestly. I truly love this game - the look the puzzles and the story is even pretty good; but the energy needs an overall. Like I played for 5 min and now I can’t do anything. It’s kinda killing my attention for the game. You can still get money for your game if you do other types of micro transactions - maybe story lines or cosmetics for our evidence bags and items. Keeping the energy would be fine if the devs would be willing to wayyyyyyy lower the energy costs. Like is said love the game - but the energy thing needs to be fixed.

SEVERELY time gated and that hint button location is incredibly frustrating
Mon Mar 25 2024 WhooHoo0976

I probably would not have started this if I had known how SEVERELY time gated it is. 24 hours a day x 60 minutes = 1440 minutes divided by 4.5 minutes per energy point = 300 chances to get energy points. Which means you would have to have this game open 24 hours a day to completely fill the meter. Yes, you can watch an ad once an hour for 20 energy points and a total of 420 per day (if the meter even goes that high) but who needs another timer in their life just to play a GAME? Not to mention that - as another reviewer said, every action costs 5 energy, so you get four big tries to play. I really, really miss the days when you could just pay once for a game and just be able to play it. I understand developers need to make their money but does everything have to be a CONSTANT cash grab??? ……………… As for that @%,##,*** Hint button - Make it smaller, Relocate it on the screen and Make it have to be deliberately contacted (maybe a multiple tap?) PLEASE. I am down to one hint without actually USING any because I habitually rest my right hand on the bottom right corner of my iPad and I keep accidentally hitting it. There is also the need to tap all over the blasted screen in order to locate hidden objects, which has lost me a couple of hints as well. This is *quite* frustrating.

Energy system is disruptive , nice games
Sun Nov 29 2020 StormSai

Games in Unsolved are old games which you can download trial versions or purchase full games for. There is no customizable difficulty setting. It’s nice that there’s a collection all in one app, but the energy system is confusing and lacking. You can run out of energy and lose your entire train of thought and also not get much gameplay. My suggestion to Mundi would be to make the breakdown by chapter instead of by energy. Everything costs energy. Hints, clicking and object to pick it up, etc. only way to tell how much energy an action cost is after the action by comparing how much energy you had before and after the action. also I bought a starter pack that said it unlocked all 600 chapters. I have no idea what that means because the energy still ran out so unlocking doesn’t mean you get enough energy to finish a game. I am a fan of Mundi games and have played the full version of some of these games through separate purchases. However, I think Mundi screwed up here on energy. One of the other hidden object and puzzle developers haiku games has a better model in their AE mysteries app which limits you to 2 chapters of play before you have to wait to gain more keys to unlock chapters. AE does have ads though when chapters are loading and Unsolved does not. Another suggestion to have clean stopping points like the trial version of Mundi games
