Download Secrets of Great Art

Secrets of Great Art is another of the hide-and-seek games like the Mystery Case Files series. This one's a little different. Instead of trying to sleuth your way through a mystery, you're trying to help Alex Johnson piece together his memory following a bout of amnesia. You reveal clues about who Alex is and how he lost his memory as you find hidden objects in antique paintings over the course of 60 levels. Like other games of this style, objects are hidden in plain sight. Your ability to pick out the items required on each level will determine your success in reconstructing the memories of Alex Johnson.

Download Big City Adventure San Francisco

Big City Adventure San Francisco is another one of those treasure hunt games like the Mystery Case Files. One of the things that sets Big City Adventure apart is the sheer number of levels - there are a total of 60 puzzles to solve as you set out to find clues in some of the most famous and obscure parts of San Francisco. Look for coins throughout the game to buy hints to help you as you get stuck in locating items in the puzzle. Along the way you'll learn a little San Francisco history and discover a handful of trivia. If you like a good treasure hunt, there are a handful of other find and seek games to choose from.

Download Agatha Christie Death on the Nile

For another twist on the hide and seek mystery game, Agatha Christie Death on the Nile is a clever option. You assume the role of Hercule Poirot, Christie's famous detective, as he searches for clues to a murder on a ship cruising the Nile. As you collect items in each room, you come closer to solving the mystery. While having read the book may help you understand the premise, it definitely won't help you win this game, as you'll need to do your own detective work to locate the items on the list in each room. Mystery Case Files still rules supreme as the best of breed in this category of games, but Agatha Christie Death on the Nile is no slouch. You're sure to be entertained. If you're just looking for Agatha Christie stories staring Hercule Poirot, there's a nice selection of Agatha Christie audiobooks to choose from.

Download Little Shop of Treasures

Little Shop of Treasures offers a slightly different spin on the hide-and-seek game category made popular by the Mystery Case Files series. It's similar in that you're looking around for items in a jumbled room full of stuff. Instead of giving you the full list all at once, the game feeds you five items at a time, in the form of people making requests for the specific items. As you locate an item, the person wanting that item disappears and a new person pops up with a different request. The hinting system is a little different too - instead of making it easy for you to find the one item hinted at, the text request for an item changes to an image, which helps identify what the person is looking for. If you find a question mark hidden in the level, it adds an extra hint to your number of available hints. As you complete levels, you are slowly rebuilding the shop you want to open in town, which is the goal of the game. If you like puzzles, Little Shop of Treasures is definitely worth trying out.

Download Mysteryville

If you've already solved the current batch of Mystery Case Files Games, Mysteryville might be exactly what you're looking for to fulfill that puzzle solving mind. It's not exactly fair to compare the game to Mystery Case Files, but the game presents challenges that make it stand alone as a fun puzzler. The setup is you play the role of an ace reporter for the town paper, tasked with getting the story about why the cats in the town are all disappearing. The puzzles lead you through a series of clues to help you get to the bottom of the missing cats caper. As you progress through the 20 levels of the game, the story takes a number of strange turns as you encounter an FBI agent, a mad scientist and a man in a dark suit, along with a handful of other oddities. If you haven't played the Mystery Case Files series, be sure to play Mysteryville and download one or all of the other titles for tons on perplexing puzzle fun.

Download Mystery Case Files: Ravenhearst

Hot on the heels of Travelogue 360: Paris, Big Fish Games offers up the third installment of the Mystery Case Files series with their latest hide and seek game inside Ravenhearst Manor. The concept of Mystery Case Files: Ravenhearst is the same as the two previous titles; you search for missing clues on the screen in an attempt to beat the clock. As you complete levels you then solve puzzles to discover missing clues from the diary of Emma Ravenhearst. The gothic backdrop cluttered with unusual artifacts makes for a challenging experience. As I've said previously, I'm a huge fan of this style of game because it's challenging without requiring the kind of attention that competitive arcade games need. There are now five games total in this collection, including the three from the MCF series. Hopefully there will be more to come. In the meantime, Ravenhearst should provide a fun challenge for puzzle solvers until we see something new. If you're new to the series, be sure to check out Mystery Case Files: Huntsville and Mystery Case Files: Prime Suspects.

Download Travelogue 360: Paris

I love hide-and-seek style games like Travelogue 360 Paris! It's a fun challenge to pick out objects in a cluttered room as you attempt to beat the clock and there's no commitment to hours of time if you only have a few minutes to play a game before you move on to something more productive. In this puzzle adventure, you search shops and views of Paris for objects that are either hidden in plain site or creatively out of place. This is the fourth game in this style from Big Fish Games and all of them are simply great. I played both Mystery Case Files: Huntsville and Prime Suspects with great success. Hidden Expedition: Titanic was also a blast. Travelogue 360 Paris is yet another clever spin on this style of game, offering new challenges, new puzzles and clues and hidden objects that leave you scratching your head.

I'm compiling a list of tips, tricks and hints for the game Hidden Expedition: Titanic. It's my favorite puzzle game in a long time. Hidden Expedition: Titanic takes the idea of the two Mystery Case Files games and adds the twist of beating the clock before your air tank runs out in your quest to discover the Titanic's hidden treasures. It can also be frustrating without a few tips and tricks to help you along the way. So far I haven't discovered any cheats to help you quickly bypass the hardest parts, but I've got a solid list of tips, tricks and hints listed below to help speed your discovery of hidden clues and make it through every room in the Titanic with air to spare.

Download Mystery Case Files: Prime Suspects

I like the challenge of a good puzzle. Mystery Case Files: Prime Suspects is the sequel to one of my favorite casual games of recent memory - Mystery Case Files: Huntsville. Like its predecessor, the game combines two puzzle styles for an addictive and challenging twist on Where's Waldo meets one of those jumble games that slide around on a plastic track. Your job is to discover clues at the scene of a crime, with ordinary objects disguised in a visually overloaded picture. Once you find all the clues, you must reassemble jumbled pieces of the image to reveal the culprit in the allowed time. During the course of the game you're constantly attempting to beat the clock in your search for information. In the beginning, the game seems easy enough, with a few clues to find and plenty of time on the clock. With each new level, you need to find more clues in a shorter timeframe. And even if you see the same scene on a different level, you likely won't be searching for the same clues, which keeps things interesting. This is one game everyone should play at least once.

Download Mystery Case Files: Huntsville

I like the challenge of a good puzzle. Mystery Case Files: Huntsville combines two puzzle styles in one game for something that's easy to catch on to, but considerably more challenging to solve. The first part of the challenge is locating clues mixed within the image displayed on screen. These clues are ordinary objects collaged on the page in a way that makes them both obvious and almost impossible to find, kind of like searching for Waldo. After you collect the clues, you must recombine a jumbled image to reveal the crime scene. All of this must be done within the constraints of a time limit that decreases with every round. You start with fewer clues to find and more time, progressively getting less time and more clues. Even when you see the same collage twice, looking for different clues, the game doesn't necessarily get easier.
