Crimo

A lot or a little?

Parents need to know that Crimo is a mystery game for iOS devices. The gameplay involves murder -- although players won't see gory images or get much specific detail about crimes. The somewhat lengthy tutorial does a good job of explaining how to play and lets gamers try it out. But once they advance to the actual game, they'll start seeing ads fairly frequently, and incorrect answers have a greater penalty that quickly eats up your available lives. If players randomly click on an item on the game board that happens to have food underneath it, they can consume it to replenish their energy. Otherwise, they'll have to keep spending coins and can burn through what they have pretty fast. Players may then feel like they need to buy a currency package -- some of which contain coins, safety cones, and unlimited energy and range from $1.99 to $48.99. They can also pay $2.99 to remove ads from the experience, and a $2.99 weekly subscription package is sold that will speed up the evidence analysis process.
