Mystery Case Files

My wife and I spent a couple of our free time (when the kids are asleep) playing the Mystery Case Files games by BigFish. It's a hidden object-type of game where you play as a detective and try to search for clues (the objects) in different places and when you found the number of clues required, you'll solve a puzzle. We were able to finish the Prime Suspect, Ravenhearst and Madame Fate.

In the Prime Suspect game, you are tasked to find the suspect for the robbery of the diamond owned by the Queen of England. In the Ravenhearst, you are invited by the Queen to solve the mystery of the Ravenhearst manor. Madame Fate would have seemed to be a different case, however, when we finished the game it's still connected with the Ravenhearst and so it leads to another game called The Return to Ravenhearst, which we haven't played yet. There's a Huntsville game which was the first of these games I believe but there were some problems with my copy so we weren't able to finish it.

It's a fun game. It can exercise not just your brain and eyes but also your time management and decision-making skills. It's one of the few games and the first pc game that my wife and I enjoyed playing together. =)
