WHAT IS A MYSTERYCAPER?
A MysteryCaper is the ultimate combination of humor, adventure and intrigue. Wacky characters, briskly paced thrills and hilarious challenges. It's COMEDY SOLVED.
Other MysteryCaper titles include: Second Best, Yestertide, Double Cover, Beast of Bodkin Hall, Fleeting Memory, and Fleeting Journey.
Mystery Caper has yet to put out a game that I regretted spending money on. These are some of the best story based puzzle adventure games available to IOS and they never disappoint. I wish they would have released the whole game this is time like they usually do, but I understand they wanted to get out one chapter to see how people liked it and that these things take time. I am wondering if you have a date for the next two chapters to be released and if the price I paid when I downloaded the game included all chapters or if I will have to pay two more additional times for chapters two and three seeing as the first chapter was a little short. Let me know if possible!**update** Thank you so much for responding Devs! As long as you keep producing amazing and incredibly well thought out and executed games I will gladly support by buying your games! I can’t wait for the new chapters! Also thank you for making affordable games. It really shows you listen to and care about your audience.

Thanks for the great review. You absolutely get the other two chapters of Bested at no additional charge; all three chapters are included when you buy. You don't need to do anything special to get them. Each chapter will be part of an update. That's one of the things we're excited about with this new pricing model. It allows us to bring the game out quicker and offer a discount on the full game for early adopters (more of a discount the earlier you buy). Details on this are available under Help > Chapters in the game or on our What's New page on our website. We're looking to release Chapter 2 at the end of this month, with Chapter 3 to follow a month or so after 2.
Fantastic as usual

I’ve played all the Mystery Caper games, most at least twice, and they’re all excellent. That said, I think they get even better with each new release — the nav in Bested is the smoothest yet and doesn’t require excessive backtracking. The puzzles are largely intuitive while remaining challenging, which is a delicate balance that Sherban achieves consistently but refines still further here. The writing, as always, is clever, funny, and polished; the lack of distracting copy errors warms my heart. Excited to see the next installment in this universe! In the meantime, I’ll eagerly wait to forget the solutions so I can replay this one. It’s clear these games are a labor of love, and it makes them all the more enjoyable. Bonus points, too, for being so responsive in the hint forum!

Wow, thank you so much for your in-depth review! As you probably know, we're a small team. It really means a lot knowing how much our players enjoy our work. Your kind words encourage our efforts more than we can adequately express.
Done with Chapter 1, can’t wait for more!

Mystery caper is killing it as always! I have played all of their games and I must say this is by far my favorite already. I really love how this one has different chapters which is something MysteryCaper has not done before. As usual, the animation is so unique and fun. The dialog is always so entertaining. Each character has their own personality, even the character you play as. So much has happened already in just the first chapter that has released, I can't wait to see what's next. If you love problem solving, interesting storylines and witty characters, give this game a try!

Thank you so much for the wonderful in-depth review! We can't wait to bring you Chapter 2!
Challenging and great adventure game

I ordered Chapter 1 when it came out since I know these devs produce quality adventure games. Great modern graphics, fun dialogue, sometimes very challenging. Like old-style adventure games, you need to try every permutation in conversations including asking about every item in your inventory. That sometimes gets tiresome, but it often results in a clue to move forward. Gotta think outside the box often. Despite promises, I was expecting Chapter 2 to be late - but it wasn’t! Thank you so much for sticking to your timeline of releases. I replayed Chapter 1 and am enjoying 2.
