Detectea is a fake-phone mystery game built for anyone who lives for messy DMs, hidden receipts, suspicious timelines, and drama that does not add up. Every episode gives you a new fictional phone to investigate. Open familiar apps, search messages, photos, notes, payments, maps, calls, emails, and social DMs, then send the proof that actually matters. The truth is never in one place. You have to connect names, dates, locations, screenshots, payments, and tiny contradictions to figure out what really happened. In the first episode, Cindy says her boyfriend Noah disappears every Thursday night. She sends you a copy of his phone and asks you to find out what he is hiding. At first, it looks like a classic relationship mess. But the more you search, the more the story starts to turn. Why play Detectea? - Investigate realistic fictional phone apps - Find clues in chats, photos, notes, payments, maps, emails, and more - Send proof back to the client when you catch something important - Answer short deduction questions to connect the drama - Use hints when you are stuck - Unlock new cases, new phones, and new secrets across episodes Detectea is for players who like interactive stories, mystery games, clue hunting, gossip, relationship drama, and the feeling of finding the one screenshot that changes everything. All phone content is fictional and created for gameplay. Detectea does not access, display, or investigate any real person's private phone.

Hi Tylersocal, thank you so much! Making each phone feel like a real mystery shared by a friend is exactly what we hoped to achieve, so your comment means a lot to our team. We’re continuing to build new cases, characters, and secrets to uncover, and we can’t wait for you to investigate what’s next. Thanks for being one of our early detectives 🕵️

$5 a week but 2 games then wait???

I like it, but my only issue is that you have to pay weekly to play it, but you can only play 2 games after subscribing and then everything else is locked for a week until you can play another one. Looks like one unlocked each week or something like that, but I downloaded this 2 days ago and still have until next Thursday until I can play again. I’ll probably lose interest and unsubscribe with these wait times.

It was confusing at first but it’s nice and fun until you have to pay to unlock chapters.

Developer Response
Hi Leah, thank you for giving Detectea a chance. We’re glad you started enjoying the investigation once the controls became clearer, and we’re sorry the paywall interrupted that experience. We’re working on making both the beginning of the game and the Premium offer easier to understand. Your feedback about both parts is genuinely useful to us.

got to play one level and payed because i thought there was more and then it stayed locked even after completion of previous level

Developer Response
Hi Lydia, we’re really sorry. Paying and then finding the next content still locked is not the intended experience. Your purchase should unlock the Premium content immediately. Please contact us through “Send Feedback” in the app or our support page so we can investigate and restore your access. We take purchase issues very seriously and want to make this right.
