Detective Solitaire: Inspector Magic and the Forbidden Magic:

In Brief:
Detective Solitaire: Inspector Magic and the Forbidden Magic has never been given away before. As the name implies it's a solitaire card game with a theme of solving crimes. We've had several of these games from 8Floor over the last few years, all of them with the same game mechanic. They are a pleasant distraction for a few hours; worth downloading especially if you enjoy playing solitaire games. The graphic is colourful and the game is introduced with a simple tutorial to walk those of you who've not played this type of game before through the basics. Thankfully the tutorial can be skipped if you wish.

You can see a few videos of game play HERE, HERE HERE, and one via the Steam store page HERE.

You can also see some Steam community reviews of the game HERE, Big Fish Community members feedback HERE .


There are twelve packs that cover various stages of solving the crime; for example, Crime Scene, The Manor, First Clues, Secret Hideout, Victims Home, Empty Room, Dark Mystery's Answer solved. Each pack contains ten levels making a total of 120 levels to work through. There are trophies such as Final Sentence where you are awarded 10000 points for passing all the levels in Newbie mode, Revealed Secret where you are awarded 20 000 points for getting the maximum points in 6 packs in Professional mode, Irrefutable Proof awards 1000 points for getting maximum points on a level, Witness Statement earns 10000 points for earning hundred thousand coins as well as seventeen other awards which you can see via the main menu.

Conclusion:
We've had quite a dew of these solitaire games, with exactly the same mechanics e.g. Solitaire: Legend Of The Pirates 3 (23rd Oct 21), Mystery Solitaire: Cthulhu Mythos (8th Aug 21), Solitaire Victorian Picnic 2 (31st July 21), Mystery Solitaire: Grimm's Tales (17th July 21), Detective Solitaire: Butler Story (7th Feb 21), Solitaire Jack Frost Winter Adventures (3rd Jan 21), Mystery Solitaire: The Black Raven (17th Oct 20) and more; as well as others with similar game play e.g. Solitaire Game: Halloween (30th Oct 21), , Dreamland Solitaire (15th Aug 21), Solitaire Mystery: Four Seasons (7th Aug 21). The only thing that changes for most of these games is the story or the graphics. Still, if you enjoy solitaire, this one is worth downloading.

The following images show the initial stages of game play, detailing all the tutorial sections that explain the various mechanics of the game. I though this would be a better way that trying to describe each stage.
