Miss Teri Tale Review

Hidden object Mac games and story lines are not my thing, but I’m starting to warm up to them. Miss Teri Tale is one of those games that is changing my mind about I spy plays. This particular one is a lighthearted dognapping tale and hidden object game. It begins with Miss Teri a novelist living in quiet, crime free suburbia being blackmailed by an internet villain who wants her to find the neighbor’s dog, Jason.

Your play brings you to Peeking Town, USA where the entire neighborhood is suspect of kidnapping a favorite pet. Miss Teri must break into people’s homes by figuring out their security codes. Clues are given to her to be able to do this fairly easily. Once in the home she searches rooms for clues. This hidden object game has clear and good graphics making the game more pleasurable. If she clicks on too many wrong objects, she is warned she is making too much noise. The list of objects she needs to find is on the left side. While in the different rooms, you hear clear and accurate sound effects like the water dripping, telephone ringing and rain falling.

There are many helps in this hidden object game. One is the Gazette, the local paper, will when you click on the newspaper in her house, give articles pertaining to the kidnapping. Mini puzzles like the memory cards will also give clues. The email messages from the blackmailer will help the play along.

This hidden object game is different from some of the other murder mystery games. First it is not as dark and ghastly as Women’s Murder Club: Death in Scarlet or as involved as Agatha Christie’s: Peril at End House. Miss Teri Tale is more on the comedic and happy side, if you will, of kidnapping. The rooms you need to search are easily identifiable and not dark and murky. I enjoyed both realistic murder mystery and the more cartoonish themes of hidden object games, and I liked Miss Teri Tale. The story is a silly premise, but it is a relaxing and enjoyable play without the murder theme for a change of pace.

Features of Miss Teri Tale:
-Investigate Neighbors’ Houses
-Hidden Items
-Comedic Theme
-Discover the Mystery of Jason’s Kidnapping
