About this game

An exciting new mystery to solve!

The Queen's priceless Hope diamond has been stolen and you've been called in to track the thief. Mystery Case Files: Prime Suspects is the sequel the smash hit Mystery Case Files Huntsville and offers more of the extremely fun clue finding detective work.

You must follow up on each of the leads from headquarters and track down the suspect to see if they really have an alibi at the time of the crime. Search each of the town's locations carefully, finding hidden objects located in each of the scenes.

A delight to the eyes and mind

Mystery Case Files Prime Suspects sends you to over 29 locations, each an artistic masterpiece of cleverly hidden clues and gorgeous presentation. Your mind and eyes will delight at the thoughtfulness and work put into each level.

Same game, fun new features

Although this game has all the same fun gameplay as the original, there are a few new features. There are different puzzle games in the crime computer at the end of each level. Rather than just swapping scrambled picture tiles, you can now find hidden words or play a game of memory. There are also some new features in the regular levels like finding clues in a dark room using only a flashlight or using a magnifying glass that limits your view on some levels.

We offer Mystery Case Files Prime Suspects in a free demo download version which you can play for 1 hour with no strings attached. If you like the game and feel it is a good value, you can upgrade to the full version for a low price and get a high quality game loaded with fun!

Mystery Case Files: Prime Suspects Review

Prime Suspects, the second release in the Mystery Case Files series, follows in the footsteps of its predecessor Huntsville by locating objects to solve a crime.

Offers a Bit More Variety Than the Typical HO Game

A combination of object location and puzzle completion allows you to solve the crimes that have been committed. Creative elements including darkened rooms explored with flashlights reinforce the crime solving theme.

Puzzles range from matching pictures to word puzzles and everything in between, adding some variety to the mix. Puzzles are placed at the end of each level to piece together the picture of the crime scene, but most of your time is spent locating objects. A map of over 30 distinct locations to search and a new crime at each offers hours of object hunting.

Conclusion - A Good Addition to the MCF Series

If you were a fan of the original Mystery Case Files, expect a very similar game structure with only a few new components such as a wider variety of puzzles to add originality. However, objects themselves are well-hidden and an abundance of locations presents an excellent challenge.

I played this game over a girlfriends place and I just absolutely loved it. I think its AWESOME. I had looked everywhere for the game to buy it. Game traders, EB Games, computer stores, but no shop has it. I hope i win the two versions as i cannot afford to buy it right now. Even my 11 year old son loves it. My neighbor even had a go and loves Prime suspect,titanic game and the Mystery files unlocked. All awesome and great fun and very challenging. Love it, Love it, Love it!!! Michelle

Challenging, exciting and the best mystery game I've ever played. <a href="http://www.download-free-games.com/puzzle_game_download/mystery_case_files.htm">Mystery Case Files</a> honed my observation skills to peak. <a href="http://www.download-free-games.com/puzzle_game_download/mystery_case_files.htm">Mystery Case Files</a> is much more challenging and tantalizing than the Carmen Sandiego series which I loved. My teen and pre-teen grandchildren will enjoy this as much as I do. Definitely worth purchasing.

Mind Sharpening
I have bought Ravenhurst and huntsville in the past, but I find prime suspects to be more mind challenging. It makes you have to really look and think on what you have to find, and remember in the puzzle stage what you need to find. It is very well worth the money. I say keep up the good game development and may this site continue to bring mind stimulating games for children of all ages to play. I can hardly what for the next MCF puzzle to come out. Thanks guys for all the fun.

FANTASTIC!!
My son and I love playing this game together. Finding the objects and looking forward to completing each mission keeps us occupied on rainy days... and sunny! We love solving the crime and seeing who the suspect is. Thanks for such a great game!!

Excellent Game
I could and have play this game for hours on end. I love the seek and find games much like the 'where's Waldo' of my childhood. This game combines the ability to find sometimes VERY well hidden objects with trying to catch a mysterious crook. While the majority of the game is looking for specific items found in each of the different locations (such as the Milners, the Hot Dog Stand, the Gas Station, etc) There are also several very challenging memory games between each level that test your skills.

It can be the best way to learn English vocabularies for children. You will find that you are addicted to it. Try it!!

Myster Case Files - Prime Suspects
I brought this game about 2 months back after playing the trial game - all I can say is WOW - the hours of fun and the challenge to myself to beat my time has seen me spend many hours playing. When I broke 2 hours I was soooooooooo chuffed BUT now I have it down to 1 hour 41 minutes and think i about as quick as I can be but the challenge is still there to beat that time. I have now purchased Ravenhearst and it is as good as the original - I love the extra challenge of the puzzles that need to be solved throughout the game. Many of my friends have now purchased the game and are as thrilled as I am with it. I intend to buy more in this series and am sure I will have years of fun playing them. A brilliant mind challenging game and well worth the small outlay. Congratulations on your site and the quality of the games you provide. Sheryl

Mystery Case
I have found that this is a relaxing and stress free game. My three children and I have a great time trying to find the object and to see who can find the items first and wait for the next level to begin.
