Sherlock is a computerized version of logic puzzles, where you're presented with a series of clues that help you determine the exact locations of all the images on the playing board. The puzzles are all 4x4, 5x5 or 6x6. Each row of the puzzle contains images of the same type (faces, houses, numbers, fruit, street signs, letters, etc). The game scrambles the locations of the items in each row (without showing you their locations) and then presents to you a set of graphical clues that describe the positional relationships of different images. You use the clues to deduce where things can't be (and where they HAVE to be) until you know where all of the images are located. 50,000 puzzles in each size for a total of 150,000 puzzles! The puzzles in the Free, Pro, Ultra, and Zen versions of the game are all unique, the four versions of the game share NO common puzzles.
I discovered this game as a kid and really loved it. On a whim I tried to search for it and was surprised to find it here in all its 80’s glory. Paying for this because it made such an impression on me and still remains a unique and interesting game.
Great game. Hope you concentrate.

Great game. Heck of a workout for my mind. Don’t like that I had to rebuy it. But to update to ad free and no in app purchases, the developer had to stop support for the original version. And honestly, several years of fun for the few dollars I am out is great. I recommend this game to everyone. Kids can play the 4x4 grid to learn basic logic with handicaps and hints. Adults can try their mind on 6x6 with no hints or handicaps and really push themselfs. I found this game over a decade ago on a win 95 computer with a “150 free games” cd. Then in 2011 I found the app. It’s 2017 and I bought zen. When I beat it I will buy the other versions. I was upset at first about rebuying the game but when the developer explained that he did it to get rid of in app purchases, I felt it was justified. But I would ask for ONE in app purchase. To spend under the total cost of the rest of the games combined to get ALL the puzzles in one app. Or sell a 5th version that is more expensive and has all the puzzles. Either way I will play them all. And here is a goal for you. 6x6 grid with no handicaps, no wrong move notifications, and only one try through it(no playing it after you beat it). 1:27. I got lucky and moved fast. Still don’t know how I managed it. And if you run out of 6x6 puzzles in less than a year, you truly are a puzzle god.
My favorite game of all time!

It’s impossible to say how long I’ve been playing this game. I first played the game from a floppy disk on my computer in DOS! When the windows version came out, my dad made me a program so I could get back to DOS to run my original version. When I found the iOS version a few years ago I was so thrilled to see the original DOS art and design! This game is addictive in the best possible way. It is an awesome challenge for keeping the eyes and mind sharp. I’ve never found another puzzle I enjoy as much. I do crossword, cryptogram, sudoku and more and NONE can beat Sherlock. Thanks from the bottom of my heart to the developer of this game for giving me countless hours of fun over the (literal) decades!! Worth every penny and more <3
Yay a new version!

I finally 'ran out' of games on Sherlock Ultra and grabbed this one for the first time. Love these games and the logic behind them. They never get too hard, and there's always a hint available -- just a hint! -- if you just don't see that one key move. Everett's games always work perfectly on my iPads.
