About Turlock Holmes
Turlock Holmes is a lateral thinking puzzle game where you solve 48 mind-bending riddles by guessing keywords and uncovering the strange logic behind seemingly impossible scenarios. Compete against an AI quizmaster, collect clues and hints to visualize each twisted tale, and dress up your turtle companion as you work through puzzles ranging from humorous to darkly mysterious.

Have you heard of Turtle Soup? It is a kind of Lateral Thinking Puzzlers popular in the East, and the name of Albatross Soup is more well known in the West.
In short, Turtle Soup is a collection of puzzles that at first seem unlikely or illogical. The quizmaster offers a surprise ending (puzzler), and players deduce what leads to the ending (answer). This game contains 48 mind benders from easy to hard created by 15 authors, with an AI quizmaster for a single-player experience.
Just remember: when it comes to this puzzle type, it's important to think way out of the box!


A girl found herself stuck in an underground mall, with a body and some turtle soup lying around. She seemed to be caught in a mysterious loop. Could you help her get out and solve the mysteries?


A boy lies dead on a sidewalk, with only his underwear and an umbrella in his hands. What happened?
A stewardess helped splint the pilot’s broken legs, and brought him fresh seafood every day. However, it seems the pilot is very scared of the stewardess. Why?
A big chunk of Turtle Soup are suspenders and thrillers with some dark styles, and others are fun, humorous. Rest assured they do not contain any revolting, unpleasing content, and you can skip if you don’t like one.


When you play the game alone, you need to think, reason, and even imagine to reveal the answers to the seemingly illogical, impossible puzzlers.
- Enter keywords. Synonyms are also OK!
- Ask AI if the keywords are relevant.
- Hit a dead end? Spend coins to get correct keywords immediately.
As you find keywords and hints, the story will gradually become more and more clear visually. Is the answer at all how you had pictured?




Get a collectible for every completed puzzler/story, and they can be worn by our little Turtle.

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Turlock Holmes offers an innovative detective puzzle mechanic where players ask questions to solve mysteries, with generally responsive AI and a large library of stories that players find engaging for casual play. However, the game is hampered by inconvenient interface design (frequent confirmation dialogs, mouse-only story reading), occasional grammatical issues that can make puzzle-solving frustrating, and some inconsistency in how the AI judges synonym answers.
The idea behind this game is good, but it has some problems that keep me from recommending it. Each time you solve a part of the puzzle, you need to close a confirmation message before you can continue. You can't use the keyboard to read the game's stories, so you have to use the mouse, which can be inconvenient. The English in the game is not always correct. This is usually okay, but it can make the game frustrating when you need to guess words based on typical English sentences. Despite these issues, the game is quite enjoyable. If the developers improve these aspects, I would definitely recommend it. On the plus side, the game works well with its AI technology, which responds quickly and understands different words well. For example, you can type "surgeon" instead of "doctor," or "forest" instead of "woods," and the game will recognize these words if they are relevant to the story.6 found this helpful
挺上癮的一款游戲 就是能不能也支持繁體中文 玩這個還得切換鍵盤 6661 found this helpful
挺不错的,这个价格这个体量很值了,故事很多。不止是之前手机上玩过的,还有蛮多更新的。创意工坊也有很多很不错的故事!这次试了一下不猜词而是问问题的玩法,AI基本回答的都还蛮准的。感觉问问题的模式比猜词好玩一些~尤其是问一些“故事中是否出现动物”“是否有其他人”“是否有人死亡”这种,还挺高收益的。 小建议:加一个“是也不是”的回答,虽然这个比较难判定,但至少反馈回答准确性的时候,可以选哪些应该回答”是也不是”,你们也可以收集一些training data。然后有些时候明明已经猜到故事,就差最后一个红色的词,但是因为近义词的判定会卡在那里,而且有的题没有那个“已经猜到然后回答三个问题”的option
Turlock Holmes, developed by Find the Lamp Games and published by Neverland Entertainment, is a detective puzzle game that builds its entire identity around a single, unconventional concept: solving mysteries by thinking like an investigator rather than following scripted interactions. Instead of guiding players through predefined dialogue trees or clue-collecting sequences, it challenges them to actively deduce the truth by asking their own questions. This shift in approach makes the experience feel more like a collaborative exercise in reasoning than a traditional narrative-driven game. Each case begins with a puzzling scenario that appears incomplete or illogical. Rather than presenting obvious clues or interactive objects, the game asks the player to probe the situation through input-driven questions or keywords. The system responds in a limited but structured way, confirming or denying whether certain ideas are relevant. Through this back-and-forth, players gradually piece together the hidden logic behind each case. It is a design that relies heavily on lateral thinking, rewarding players who can reframe problems, consider unusual possibilities, and refine their assumptions. …
玩法挺新颖的,有些故事脑洞不错,有些就很牵强,偶尔空闲时玩一下还是很不错的!
总体来说好的,量大管饱,但是制作组能不能把提问之后的确定按钮改成用键盘操作,总是被打断很不舒服
