Having issues with "Mystery Mice" ?

Overview

Join the charming chaos of Mystery Mice by Pragmatic Play, where a whimsical mystery unfolds in a world dominated by clever, cartoon mice.

This slot transforms a 6x6 grid into a detective's playground, using cluster pays to create winning combinations that disappear to make room for more symbols. Set in a lively office, complete with modern and period pieces, it features Power Wilds and free spins that can dramatically change gameplay dynamics. With high volatility and features that build on each other, every spin offers a potential clue to unlocking substantial wins.

Features and bonuses

Power Wilds

Each wild symbol comes with a clearance level ranging from 1 to 10, which decreases by 1 each time the wild is part of a winning combination.

Unlike standard wilds, these symbols don’t explode immediately but instead drop to the lowest possible position on their reel after each win. When the clearance level reaches 1 and the wild is involved in a win, it will finally explode. This mechanic allows wilds to stick around longer and contribute to multiple wins.

Free Spins

Triggered by landing three or more scatter symbols, which awards you 8 free spins. In this bonus round, the Power Wilds become even more valuable as they remain on the reels between spins.

Additionally, Power Up symbols can appear, which increase the clearance levels of all visible Power Wilds by 1, 2, or 3, allowing them to persist even longer. If you manage to land two or more scatter symbols during the free spins, you'll be rewarded with additional spins, equal to the number of scatters plus one.

Tumble Feature

The Tumble feature works in tandem with the Cluster Pays system. When a winning cluster is formed, the symbols are removed, and new symbols tumble down to fill the gaps, potentially creating additional winning clusters.

This process repeats until no new clusters are formed, allowing for multiple wins from a single spin.

Bonus Buy Option

If you prefer immediate access to the action, Mystery Mice offers a Bonus Buy option. For 100 times your bet, you can instantly trigger the Free Spins round. This option is available in regions where Bonus Buy features are allowed and offers the highest RTP version of the game.

Final say

Jack's verdict

Turning pesky rodents into charming detectives is a fresh twist I haven't seen before... particularly with a cluster pays format. The Power Wilds and the tumbling feature added a nice dynamic to the gameplay, although it didn't quite capture the continuous excitement expected from such vibrant themes. The game performed better in the free spins round where Power Wilds truly shone. Good solid game from Prag Play.

Tim's verdict

Prag Play have delivered an engaging spin with its adorable Sherlock-esque mice and mystery-solving antics. The base game is decent with cluster pays, but the real fun kicks in during the free spins thanks to those sticky Power Wilds. It's a good game that manages to entertain, though it sometimes feels like it's missing a final punch to make it truly outstanding.
