About Detective Files: Mystery Cases

Developer description, as provided in the original store listing.

► CALLING ALL WORDSMITH DETECTIVES

Looking for a fun and easy detective puzzle where you’ll need to use all sorts of clues to deduce whose seat is whose? Detective Files has got you covered! Each level you’ll be presented with a picture and a list of logic phrases that contain clues, both of which you’ll need to figure out which character goes where. Easy at first, the levels get more complicated to solve as you progress, keeping your mind sharp and focused even when you need a moment to tune out the real world.

► WHO’S ON FIRST?

What? No that’s second – but in this mystery brain game you can decide which character to seat when, no need to follow any particular order. Levels consist of various situations where you need to use context clues both in the description and in the picture to correctly place each person and solve the puzzle. While it’s sure to get your brain thinking, you’ll also find yourself relaxing as you fly through levels and put your logic to the test!

Fantastic features:

● Fun for all – with cute scenes and fun situations, even younger players will enjoy combing through clues and helping solve the mystery. But don’t feel like you can’t also enjoy it all on your own: levels get harder so you’ll need to improve your detective and logic skills if you want to keep progressing.

● Increasing difficulty – that’s right, the more you play, the more your mind will be tested. Periodically there will be super hard levels but don’t worry, there are boosters available in case you’re totally stumped. Even the smartest of minds needs help sometimes!

● Challenging yet relaxing – while the goal is to improve your thinking skills, there’s no reason you shouldn’t have a little fun in the process. A simple interface and easy to understand rules mean you don’t need to focus on annoying fluff. You’re here for the mystery puzzles, and so mystery puzzles you shall get!

Good to know.
