Epic Games Store Reveals Its Latest Free Mobile Game of the Week

Epic Games Store is keeping the freebies coming, and this week’s offer is aimed squarely at mobile players. From February 12 through February 19, you can claim The Darkside Detective: A Fumble in the Dark on Android and iOS for free, giving you a chance to snag a well-reviewed detective adventure that normally sells for $6.99.

This giveaway follows the store’s ongoing promotions across platforms. While Epic is also running free game offers on PC right now, the mobile deal is the one catching attention thanks to how highly rated the game is. On iOS, it holds an impressive 4.9 out of 5 average rating, while Android users rate it at a perfect 5 out of 5. In other words, this isn’t a throwaway title—it’s one many players already consider a must-play in its genre.

Also known as The Darkside Detective 2, A Fumble in the Dark brings back the series’ signature mix of humor, mystery, and bite-sized cases. You’ll return to the strange city of Twin Lakes for nine new investigations, each packed with quirky characters and paranormal-flavored puzzles that fans of lighthearted point-and-click style adventures tend to love.

There are a couple of availability details to keep in mind. Android users can claim the game worldwide, but iOS access is limited to residents of the European Union. The promotion is expected to run until around 16:00 UTC on February 19. You can redeem it through the Epic Games Store mobile app while logged into your account, and once it’s claimed, it’s yours to keep.

If you’ve been looking for a strong mobile mystery game with great reviews—and you’d rather not pay the usual price—this is a good week to check your Epic Games Store app and grab it before the offer ends.
