Mystery Case Files: Prime Suspects Review

Review by Sara

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.
