Mystery Case Files: Huntsville Review

Review by Sara

Mystery Case Files - Huntsville is a detective themed hidden object game that set the standard for the genre and kicked off numerous clones and sequels. 

The Game That Started the Hidden Object Craze

The game offers many locations to explore with cleverly hidden items that provide a challenge for most players. Readjusting time limits combined with finding more items increases the duration of the game beyond that of the average hidden objects game.

A Revised Object List Extends Replayability

Constant revisions to the objects list when you visit a location you've been to before provides hundreds of possible combinations that make repeat playing enjoyable. However, the plot line is simple and the levels are a bit redundant. The game offers no new ways to find or combine objects as the game progresses although the crime computer at the end of every case does add some different puzzles to solve.

While time limits do increase difficulty, they can prove imposing and frustrating to many users who find themselves out of hints and unable to locate every object before the clock stops.

Conclusion - A Hidden Object Classic

Despite this, Mystery Case Files Huntsville is a challenging and rewarding game, especially for the more active player who enjoys a race against time.
