Whose phone is this — and what are they hiding?

Busted is a detective game for iPhone. A woman hands you her partner's cloned phone and asks you fifteen questions. You dig through the messages, the banking, the photos, the rides and the apps to find the answers — which you type yourself. A new case every week.

A new case every week

Every Monday, another phone to search.

A new couple, a new lie, fifteen new questions. Cases land straight in the app — nothing to download, nothing to update. This week's is already waiting when you open the game.

How you play

She tells you what she wants to know. She never tells you where to look — that's your job.

  1. 01Read

    The conversations, the feeds, the notes, the galleries, the calendars, the bank statements. It's all there, exactly as he left it.

  2. 02Cross-check

    A receipt confirms a time. A photo confirms a place. A message contradicts both. Nothing here is accidental.

  3. 03Answer

    You type what you found: a first name, an address, an amount. No list, no suggestion.

  4. 04Stuck?

    A hint is waiting. It points you somewhere; it doesn't answer for you.

A whole phone, not a backdrop

Around fifty recreated apps, each with its own data: the transfers, the hidden albums, the listening history, the late-night rides, the conversations someone thought were deleted. A teenager's phone doesn't hold the same apps as an executive's — and that alone is a clue.

Frequently asked questions

What is Busted?+

Busted is a detective game for iPhone. A woman hands you her partner's cloned phone and asks you fifteen questions. You dig through the messages, the banking, the photos, the rides and the apps to find the answers, which you type yourself. The first eight questions of one case are free; the rest, and every other case, need the subscription. A new case lands every week.

Does Busted access my phone or anyone else's?+

No. The phones in the game are entirely fictional and bundled with the app. Busted reads no data from your device, connects to no third-party account, and works offline. It is not a surveillance tool: it is a story in which you play a detective.

Is Busted free?+

You play the first eight questions of one case for free — whichever you open first. Beyond that, and for every other case, you need Busted Premium: €6.99 per week, or €34.99 per year with a three-day free trial.

How often do new cases arrive?+

A new case is published every week and lands straight in the app, with no update to download. Each case brings a new couple, a new phone and fifteen new questions.

Are there multiple-choice questions?+

None. You type the answer yourself: a first name, an address, a time, an amount. Nobody offers you a list to pick from, and the game never tells you which app to look in.

What languages does Busted support?+

French, English and Spanish. Every case is fully translated, dialogue and evidence included.

Is Busted on Android?+

Not at the moment. Busted is available on iPhone only.

The genre, compared

The phones are fiction

Every case is a written story bundled with the game. Busted never reads your device, never your data, never anyone else's, and needs no connection to run. You play a detective inside a story — you are not accessing anyone's real information.

He has an explanation for everything. His phone doesn't.
