Grimsborough hasn't forgotten you, Detective. 56 murder cases, 6 districts, one conspiracy — the original that started it all is waiting for your return.
A murder has been reported in Grimsborough, Detective. Grab your badge — the Chief is waiting.
Criminal Case is the original hidden object detective game: the award-winning phenomenon that has turned more than 100 million players into detectives since 2012. Search crime scenes for clues, examine the evidence, interrogate the suspects — and when the proof is solid, arrest the killer yourself.
INVESTIGATE CRIME SCENES
Every case starts at the scene of the crime. Search gorgeous hand-drawn locations for hidden objects and vital clues, race the clock for the best score, and earn the stars that move your investigation forward.
RUN THE LAB
Take your findings to the forensics team. Analyze samples, decode messages, reconstruct torn documents and match fingerprints. In Grimsborough, every detail talks — if you know how to listen.
INTERROGATE THE SUSPECTS
Bring witnesses and suspects in for questioning. Compare their statements with the facts, catch them lying, and profile your killer trait by trait until only one name is left.
ARREST THE KILLER
Most mystery games end when you find the last object. Criminal Case is where it gets serious: match the evidence to your suspects and put the right one behind bars. Get it wrong, and a killer walks free.
ONE CITY. 56 CASES. ONE CONSPIRACY.
From the smokestacks of the Industrial Area to the runways of the Airport, the six districts of Grimsborough hide 56 murder cases — and the deeper you dig, the clearer it becomes that they are all connected.
THE ORIGINAL, SINCE 2012
Facebook Game of the Year 2013. More than 100 million detectives worldwide. The classic that defined crime investigation games on mobile — still updated, still free, still one of a kind.

Grimsborough is where the saga begins. Once you have cleaned up this city, seven more seasons of Criminal Case are waiting for you — from Pacific Bay all the way to Paris.
Criminal Case is free to play, with optional in-app purchases (you can disable these in your device settings). The optional Pizza subscription raises your energy bar to 170 and removes ads: 2.99 USD/week (or local equivalent) after a 3-day free trial, auto-renewing unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.

The killer thinks they got away with it, Detective. Prove them wrong.
I love this game! So addictive and intriguing. It has a little bit of everything. One thing worth pointing out is that some of the things have a really long waiting time and you have to pay if you want to skip it. Most games give you the option to watch ads to get “gems” to do things like this, but it’s refreshing to know straight up what they’re asking for. Bottom line- you should definitely download this game if you love crime stories and puzzles! The waiting times is worth it, and only frustrating because the story is so good and you can’t wait to see what happens next. Side note: I agree with the others, Jones is annoying and has more anger problems then Det. Stabler. (If you know who that is, this games for you)
Intriguing, entertaining and generous

I love this game- the interesting plots, the amusing graphics and the overall low pressure atmosphere. Take your time. With a little patience you’ll find you can enjoy the game for free. There is little pressure to buy as long as you’re willing to sit through ads. Spend because they deserve it, not because they make you like in some apps.I’d like to know how the hint rating improves for friends and would pay to have a second 5 hint constant companion. Perhaps you could upgrade companions like you do with pets?Also I’d like to see Jones grow up a bit! Thanks for the great game!
love the game, but please remove the Happy Hospital: Ear ASMR Ad

i’ve been playing for years, and i’ve recently just came back after a long hiatus. I’m enjoying myself, but an ad keeps popping up with disgusting pimple popping content, and it’s really making all of the games unenjoyable and I’m considering uninstalling due to constantly seeing pimples being popped. Please remove this ad, I don’t care about the others, just the pimple popping one.
Old version the best

This used to be my favourite game but after latest update it won’t sync between my iPad and iPhone even though both connected through Facebook. I have managed to sort out most of the issues between my devices. Support non existent as tried contacting them and received automated email sending me to FAQs and saying no further contact will be made. Now have to wait days for new cases and the times for results are getting ridiculous. I don’t like the way you now have to download different sections of the game when you used to be able to go to the airport and travel, taking energy etc with you.
Detectives — routine precinct maintenance is complete. We've tuned the engine, squashed a few bugs and made sure Criminal Case runs perfectly on the latest devices.
Grimsborough never sleeps, and your cases are exactly where you left them: 56 files, 6 districts, one conspiracy still waiting to be uncovered.
New around here? There's a murder to solve. Grab your badge and report to the Chief.
Happy investigating!
