In Sherlock: Hidden Object & Match-3 Mystery, familiar literary tales have been disrupted: heroes disappear, villains seize control, and endings are altered. Players join Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson to investigate these cases and restore the truth, travelling through a grand central Library where each book unlocks another literary mystery. Its premise gives the puzzles a storybook setting rather than treating them as detached challenges.
The game combines two ways to investigate: searching richly detailed scenes for hidden objects and solving thoughtful match-3 puzzles. Logic-based challenges and clues help move the mysteries forward, while special conditions such as night scenes, mirrored objects and time limits vary the tasks. Hand-painted environments draw on vintage illustrations, giving the cases a distinct visual identity. Players can switch between the hidden-object and match-3 modes as they progress through the unfolding story.
The store lists single-player, multiplayer, co-op and online co-op categories, alongside cross-platform multiplayer. The game is free to play and offers optional in-app purchases; its described format centers on solving literary cases through a blend of observation, matching and logic.
