About the Game

Your favorite books are falling apart — and only Sherlock can save them.

Dive into a world where classic stories twist into chaos. In Sherlock: Hidden Object & Match-3 Mystery, someone — or something — is tampering with the endings of legendary novels. Heroes are missing. Villains take control. Team up with Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson to uncover what’s behind these literary mysteries and restore the truth.

Explore intricately crafted storybook settings, solve logic-based challenges, and uncover hidden clues as you move through distorted narratives. Choose your playstyle: search richly detailed scenes in hidden object mode, or relax with thoughtful match-3 gameplay — both seamlessly woven into the unfolding mystery.

Key Features
• Challenge yourself with special conditions: night scenes, mirrored objects, time-limited puzzles, and more
• Travel through the grand central Library: each book unlocks a new case inspired by the world's greatest literature
• Immerse yourself in hand-painted scenes: inspired by vintage illustrations and timeless art styles
• Play your way: switch between hidden object scenes and match-3 puzzles
• Experience regular live events: seasonal content, unique rewards, and limited-time challenges

While this game is absolutely free to play, you have the ability to unlock optional bonuses via in-app purchases from within the game. You may disable in-app purchases in your device settings.
