Homicide Squad®: Hidden Objects

What’s the case

It's no secret that New York City can be a dangerous place. After all, big cities attract a lot of money, and with it comes a lot of crime, sometimes even murder.

As soon as you download and install the free game, you'll dive into a homicide case as an NYPD detective with experienced detectives Turino and Lamonte by your side to guide you. Here's what we know about the case. A young female wearing a wedding dress was found dead in a park early in the morning. Because she had no money or jewelry on her, the police think it's likely a robbery that went wrong. But that's just their best guess. The most obvious and simple explanation is the correct one, right?

You'll start working on this case by searching the crime scene for clues that can help your squad solve the murder mystery. For starters, you'll need to identify the victim, look for a possible murder weapon, talk to possible witnesses who may have seen something unusual the night before, and try to find out where the victim lived. Sounds like real police work? That's because it is! In Homicide Squad, you'll seek, find, and analyze evidence, as well as interview people like landlords, colleagues, relatives, or even lovers to narrow down the list of suspects and arrive at correct conclusions just like a detective does in real life.

Intriguing crime cases to solve.

The criminal case above is only the first of many. You'll get to work on a mindblowing variety of murder mysteries in this free to play game. Solve homicide cases that deal with big money, jealousy, betrayal, celebrity disputes, inheritance squabbles, and more. Sometimes, you'll even have to tackle tough cases to crack: sterile crime scenes with no apparent clues or evidence left behind. You'll encounter elements of horror as you keep cracking homicide cases on the NY Police Force. You might even discover the pleasure that comes with restoring law and order once you identify and catch yet another nasty killer and put them behind bars through good old-fashioned police work.

Addictive and challenging gameplay

The gameplay is truly addictive, like a good crime novel that you can't put down. The gripping storyline features case after case, each consisting of a dozen crime-solving quests, wise-cracking sidekick detectives to team up with, and a ton of criminal deeds that will make your brain work overtime to figure out what happened and how! And, unlike a novel where you're just an observer, this is an interactive game where your actions and decisions actually matter and affect the story. The challenges lie in how the levels are designed and in the fact that New York is no small town where murder cases are hard to come by. You'll have your hands full with new criminal cases piling up on your desk before you even begin to complete the previous investigations. You know how detectives are always at work in the movies and books? Well, it's kind of like that in Homicide Squad. Hidden object levels become more difficult as you start working on more complex murder mysteries. You'll find hidden object scenarios where you need to find certain items during a set time that gradually grows tighter in beautifully drawn scenes. As a detective, you'll have to master several mechanics through your investigations, but the game will still always find a way to challenge you.

Immersive graphics and immersive atmosphere.

The game art is truly amazing. Discover hand-drawn realistic landscapes and portraits that use an innovative mix of 2D and 3D technology for full player immersion, especially if you're playing on a big screen that supports HD resolutions. No screenshot can fully capture the beauty of the scenes and characters you'll interact with, so the best solution is to download, install, and launch the game to see for yourself.

Levels

There are hundreds of locations scattered around New York City you'll get to visit and explore. From simple alleyways and city bars to famous NY landmarks, luxurious apartments of popular celebrities, Wall Street bankers' residences, and more. Each one offers a beautiful hidden object puzzle that you'll need to search more than once. After all, not all clues are visible at first sight. It's probably good that you'll have a whole arsenal of tools and boosters at your disposal, detective: flashlights, magnifying glasses, magnets, and more.

Difficulty

At the start of your detective journey, the crime scenes are simple and easy to navigate. It's the perfect way to learn the ropes. At the start, you can play at your own pace and focus on the story, immersing yourself in the narrative. But don't get too comfortable. As you move deeper into the bustling streets of New York City, the mystery intensifies, and the stakes get higher.

From cozy cafés and tucked-away alleyways to glitzy celebrity penthouses, every level offers a unique setting with fun and challenging obstacles to overcome. Each scene is meticulously crafted and filled with hidden objects and layered clues that aren't always easy to spot right away. You'll need to return, re-examine, and rethink your strategy. The more you explore and practice, the better and faster you'll solve cases, and the more achievements you'll unlock.

If you ever find yourself in a dead-end situation, make sure to dig in your pockets. You might find a tool that makes collecting evidence a walk in the park, almost automatically finding all the objects hidden in plain sight that can help the investigation.

Regular updates with new cases and events.

On top of its huge story arc and hundreds of cases to solve in the basic game, Homicide Squad offers regular updates and special events associated with different holidays and seasons that add novel content, new mysteries to solve, fresh cases, and innovative mechanics, and of course, new rewards that always come in handy. Don't miss out on these events. The items you'll receive for completing event quests can be extremely valuable or even unique, meaning there's no other way to get them than to complete the event.
