The Mystery of Shadow Hill is Squadventure’s second adventure game. It takes place in a school, with some strange things happening. While I liked their first, this one is more my speed. It’s more relaxed, full of logic puzzles and no skill-based mini games. The artwork isn’t as consistently impressive as in The Lost Chapter, but there are some really nice details. The story is intriguing and has me curious to see what’s in store next. While most puzzles are pretty straightforward, there are some creative and clever ones I really liked. The game is on the short side and currently only includes episode one, with the second episode releasing later as a separate app, so don’t expect a full conclusion yet. But what we’ve been given so far is an enjoyable game that’s worth checking out of you like puzzle adventures.

This is a complete step-by-step walkthrough with help, hints, tricks, solutions and answers for the iOS and Android game The Mystery of Shadow Hill by Squadventure. Feel free to ask for extra help in the comments section.
