Thimbleweed Park
Thereof creators of games like Monkey Island or Loom, comes this little gem that we have on our Android phones as well as on PC. We will find places from a movie such as that paranormal hotel, an abandoned circus or a burned pillow factory to enjoy a visual and plot experience like no other.
We will discover what happens in this game with a great atmosphere and that, although it is premium, it is one of the best on this list. An entire experience that is generated before our eyes through 5 characters that are in the same town at the same time. We have to discover what happens and unravel what happens in that town where it seems that only lunatics live. An exciting game.
Dream detective
Here we have another type of different gameplay, but one that is not lacking in that detective plot that we like so much. Like we would be before a great «Where is Wally», we have to focus our gaze well to discover each of the details of those majestic illustrations that give this game its name. That is, we are entrusted to find a specific scene or a specific character to place it in an illustration that has hundreds of its own details.
The truth is one of the highest quality detective puzzles that we have in the Play Store and that on top of it is free to spend a few good hours discovering its mysteries. Immerse yourself in the land of Dream Land to discover that talent that this game has on a visual level. A marvel for our eyes and that with more than 200 levels and 100.000 interactions promises hours and hours of fun.
Town of salem
Here we are also in another category of games and we can almost say that it is one of the most detective. Especially since being online multiplayer, we will have to discover who are the murderers who are terrorizing the people of Salem. Every afternoon you will meet in the town square to begin the suspicions and interactions that will allow us to go to our rooms to discover that the next morning several dead bodies have been discovered in the town.
The suspicions will begin to discover that there may be several murderers and that the town with its mayor, doctor and more have their own abilities to try to elicit who are those who threaten the peace of the same. A game in which we have to know how to defend ourselves with the chat and attack by lying so that they do not take us to the gallows, being the murderer or just another innocent. A game with a great Hispanic community behind it for you to enjoy in company.
Caso criminal
Here we go to that typical detective game in which it is rather a click on all the objects in the room to discover the plot. It is not that it has much of a detective, but since it immerses itself in the genre, they tend to accumulate thousands of downloads. It is a really hidden object search game, so you will have to arm yourself with patience to go tapping one after the other to find the one you need.
Yes that use illustrations, but they do not reach the level of Dream Detective. There are a lot of these games in the Play Store and we wanted to name only one because they are all very similar. They change the names, crime scene and time and they already have the game launched on Android.
Detective jackie
Following the previous one, but at least with dialogues and a detective who has to do with different events. Of all the list it is the best detective game for children because of its simplicity and that it does not have anything like that a little "crude" or "dark". You will have to find clues to discover what happens in the murder of a girl through some questions that will allow us to progress properly in the case that we touch.
60 levels and 30 achievements They are waiting for us to bring out our more detective side in a game that is in Spanish and that allows us to know what happened to the girl of the murder. It also has 6 mini games, so it is a round game in which there is a lot of content to enjoy.
Among Us
Like Town of Salem, it is a online multiplayer game in which we have to discover the impostor who wants to sabotage the spaceship of which we are part of the crew. You will enter 10 player games where one is the imposter and the rest is the crew. The impostor can kill others, pretend to be doing tasks, sabotage the ship's equipment, or hide through hatches to get to other sides of the ship faster.
In return the crew must complete the tasks to finish the game or find out who the impostor is. You will only be able to communicate with the rest of the players when the council is summoned and a vote is taken to try to kill the imposter. Like Salem, you may be blaming an innocent man, so share well all the details you have seen. By the way, if you couldn't move in Salem, here you have the freedom to go all over the ship to do tasks and complete the minigames to fix the sabotage. A very detective online game in which you will have to use all your skills.
detective conan runner
Another category of games for one of the characters best known to all: Detective Conan. Although here we pass before a very arcade endless runner that has something of a detective, but only to progress through the plot, since you will have to jump and move well for our protagonist to achieve his goal.
Un running based game and that as its protagonist is one of the most popular detectives, we have not been able to leave the occasion to talk about his game on Android. Great technical quality for a whole character that you have to help solve mysteries by running and jumping. It's also cool to do this kind of thing in a free, very freemium detective game.
Forgotten anne
With platforming and puzzle elements, this game is cinematically speaking quite a gem for your mobile. You have to recover the lost objects that yearn to be remembered in a story in which all the steps to be taken are very important and that every minute generates a visual and film experience like no other.
You have that visual look to Studio Ghibli movies how is Princess Mononoke and that she can leave us amazed by her quality. It has that point of mystery that carries all the tension for our curiosity to guide us through its plot.
Identity V-2nd
From Netease Games arrives this great mystery game in which terror will make us go through moments of great tension. With a gothic style, we are facing a horror game in which one of the five players will be the bad guy, while the other four will have to survive against the horror that this story surrounds.
You enter the game as a detective who receives a strange letter inviting him to investigate an abandoned mansion in order to find a lost girl. As you get closer to the truth of the story, you will find something horrible that is about to happen and that of course we are not going to reveal from these lines in Android Guías. A 3D game in which the multiplayer puts all the tension of the moment and in which you will have to help yourself from others to try to solve what is happening in that mansion and places. The only problem is that it is in English and that perhaps this takes away from its appeal for those who do not understand it, but it is true that there is a Hispanic community that plays it, so give it a chance as it is a unique detective game, although with a lot of horror and terror. Don't miss the appointment.
These are the best current detective games and that will allow you to bring out all that detective streak, above all the two online multiplayer that hook a lot.
