Parker & Lane Wiki

I honestly love all Game House games! They’re so fun and entertaining, and I love this one. Something I’m really happy about is that we have the option to have access to the full game without paying for it and just playing with ads. I see some of the other game house games have done the same, and that makes me so happy!! I hope they continue to do that for the new games and maybe the old ones, too; If that’s possible. I’m super excited that’s an option. I used to stop playing these games because I didn’t want to pay $10 for every single game I wanted to play (I literally downloaded all of them), but now with this option, I’m back and I’m addicted again! (:

This is one of the best games produced by GameHouse. They've given us a compelling mystery; the mini-games are really interesting; and the whole feel of the game is just right for this genre. My only complaint deals with the character of Parker. She is one of the nastiest female characters GameHouse has created--and I'm including Angela, Sheila, and Truly in that comparison. Parker is self-righteous, judgmental, arrogant and really obnoxious. She's also extremely rude. (This isn't a feminist thing--I'd dislike a male character with those traits just as much as I dislike Parker.) GameHouse is in a bit of a rut in terms of the characters they develop. The women tend to be like Parker, and the men seem to be idiots--see the last two Emily games. At least Lane isn't a fool. The game only has a single difficulty setting, but it's much easier than Moms vs Dads was--I loathe that game. Good game, fun gameplay! NOTE: The only issue I had was the Sounds (mouse squeak, clicking, etc.) would cut out. That seemed to resolve itself once I purchased the game, instead of letting the ads play--most of which didn't load anyway.

Oh my goodness, I have loved the Delicious/Gamehouse games and played the, since I was a kid. I have bit the bullet and bought two of them but they are so expensive but the stories are always so intriguing! I am SO excited to see that they have finally allowed us to play a full game with ads! I will watch ads all day long if it lets me play the game all the way through! Thank you, Gamehouse! Thank you! And specifically for this game, the plot line is intriguing and different and the challenges are actually fairly difficult which makes it fun :D

I buy every single game these developers put out! Great stories and a great time! This is the first game I played with ads. I did not think the number of ads were too much-it was free and I thought it was fair and not aggravating at all. I would mention that I saw one ad that was totally inappropriate for kids. I’m the only one playing this in my family, so it wasn’t a huge deal...but should be mentioned. All in all, I loved the story and the game. If you enjoy the other games by these developers, you’ll love it!

I miss and love games like this! I really wish they would have kept making this game. I know there is a part 2 but I still don’t understand why there aren’t more of these games. It’s all about “freemium” games these days. I will just keep replaying the old games before the “freemium” madness took off. Just goes to show game developers care more about getting as much money as they can out of players regardless of their manipulative tactics and enticements. So much for humility on their part.

Absolutely LOVED the game.... I am a big fan of your games... I did like that I had an option to play without having to pay... and I enjoyed the game more because I didn’t end finishing it up in two to three hours... I liked that I had more episodes to play daily... You should really consider giving us the options to play like that... I’m so sad that I can’t finish playing Love Boat at the moment... 😭.... Waiting for another Parker and Lane and Mortimer!!!!

Gamehouse creators has done it again. They have combined TV shows involving crime and drama and combined it with time management gaming. The storyline has a strong female character with career and personal demons to overcome with a murder investigation. I love the music and the back and forth drama between Parker and Lane. I played the version with the commercials which provided a real-time TV show. However, the storyline was missing the special pull that would have drawn me into the game like their previous games. It felt like the creators were holding back in their attempt to keep it somewhat lighthearted. At times, I started to get bored with the game and was ready for it to be over. I will say that GH has really gotten better with the graphic designs as they continue to produce more games and with that I give a HUGE Thumbs UP. I just wish there was something ... more to the storyline. I will wait patiently for the next game.

I’m enjoying this game and can’t wait to finish. The reason for the four instead of the five is because I believe that there is a glitch on some of your levels. I’m an expert when playing your games, I have to not be paying attention to not get to the all three stars/diamonds. But on some of the levels no matter how many combos I get, I’m still coming up short by a lot! This is very confusing for me as a consumer of almost all of your Emily, Angela, etc... I really love all your games, I’m over the fact that the new ones are asking to be link to social media.

I really love the original Gamehouse games. I enjoy Emily and Angela, plus the others. Except the Cathy crafts. Anyways, thank you so much for doing ads for this, I usually hesitate on buying when I don’t know how I feel about the game. My reason for three stars is, although the design if very good, the main character is just horrible. I’m sorry but detective Parker is the worst, and that’s speaking for all the “bad” characters in your other games. She rude, arrogant, and just a straight up......yeah. Honestly, I see enough women like that in reality, and it’s not something that I want my daughter, 11yrs, to admire. (She likes these games too) This is the ONLY game I will NOT let her play from all the other originals. In short can you please tone her down if you decide to make another one. I do enjoy strong female characters, but this one not at all.

I’m on level 46, which I haven’t finished because it crashed 5 times already. Usually I’d have deleted the game by now but it is a lot of fun and has an interesting story line. Disappointed to say the least. I’ve played all of the Emily games and never had this issue. I have a new iPad Pro so I don’t believe it’s a device issue. I understand an occasional crash here and there but not 2-5 times a level. Total crashes through 46 rounds is probably about 15-20. The main character up to this point is hard to warm up to. Hoping that this will change as the story progresses.

There are still issues with the game. I have found all the mice but it won’t give me my trophy. I completed all with 3 stars and no trophy! The two diamond levels in the 20 levels the mystery boxes & no mistakes seem impossible to get 3 stars no matter how well you do. Those are the only two I cannot complete! When playing the mini games it takes too long to transition back to the game. How are you supposed to unlock the final endless play level? Playing the last level you shouldn’t have to go thru all the credits each time. The trophy for dead people only says I have 2 but I have completed the whole game what did I miss? You should have better instructions for the mini games and for the regular game play!

This game is repetitive and boring and stupid. The turkey baster and the cellphone tasks are stupid. And I am only halfway but I am so frustrated. You can’t even click on time or have to double click while the rating goes down. Is hard to always get the 3 diamonds but not hard as in challenging, hard as in you have to keep clicking or tapping for it to take effect. The ads are ridiculous so I paid the 9.99 plus tax because I love gamehouse developers game. The main character is not likeable the squares (triangles and circles) are hard to get meaning the hearts go down faster. For some reason combos aren’t possible because of the pop ups so you have to click again multiple times to get a character to do its intended task. The “turkey” baster makes you fail because you have to tap multiple times all the while the hearts are going down. Is a boring game unlike Delicious Emily, Angela’s or even Amber’s Airline. This game didn’t give me the rush that the aforementioned games gave me. Give Delicious Emily a third child or continue Amber’s Airline. Thank you if you developers are reading this. I want my money back!

Pro(s): Quality graphics in line with the general GameHouse brand Cons: Being a huge GameHouse fan, I was excited to check out this game and am disappointed to find that my anticipation was for naught. I’ve had the game since it came out and am moving through it at a snail’s pace bc it’s so boring; by now I’d be done with a new GameHouse game, even when I try to preserve it and not blast through bc I’m thoroughly enjoying the story & game play. This game is beyond monotonous (even for its genre), has no real character to it and the music is a bit annoying. Plus it seems to be missing a true time management feel in terms of making sure those being served, in this case the investigators, don’t get angry. The storyline moves glacially slow, is boring and the lead female character, Parker, is the worst. She’s too abrasive and lacks any redeeming qualities that draw you into her story/character. Lane seems to have a bit of an interesting storyline, but the storytelling is moving SOOOO SLOW to reveal any of it, let alone the true source of his conflict. I’m somewhere in the 30s level and all I’m getting are snide comments back and forth between the characters and a boring and vague story surrounding the case they are trying to solve. This game is, unfortunately, a swing and a miss in my book.

I have loved every delicious Emily game from the first one I played but this game is very monotonous. The first person to come in wants one shape, the second person to come in wants a different shape and the last person wants the last shape. I miss having the customers order food! There only to gain house emoji’s I did not like and that was Emily’s tea garden, and Emily’s cook and go. I’m sorry. I just can’t get into this one. I don’t like that I have to bring the investigator to their shape and after I place the first investigator at their shape, I already know what shape the next investigator is going to asked to be placed at before they ask. Why I always placing them where they want to go. They should just walk there. I was very excited for this game but definitely a miss for Gamehouse
