Agatha Christie, murder mystery novel and movie fans will enjoy this clever hidden object Mac game. This game will get you involved in the detective work by rewarding you with clues when the different levels are solved. There are more puzzles within this hidden object game to help break up the searching for clues/objects.
It is set in St Loo a small village on the coast of Cornwall, England in 1927. Hercule Poirot, Agatha Christie’s famous detective, is called to End House to investigate murder attempts on Miss Nick Buckly the owner of the estate. It is your job to find the culprit by finding items on the grounds and in the house in order to stop any deadly deeds.
From the map of the estate of End House showing the landscape and various rooms in the house, you are to go from room to room and areas outside to uncover any and all clues of solving this mystery. Click on the gold colored section to begin your investigation, and it will reveal an area full of objects and clues to find. Poirot will give you a list of items, and you have 25 minutes and only 5 hints to go over the room and discover the objects. Some of the things are not relevant to the crime, but others could be useful for solving the mystery. In this hidden objects game you not only find the item, but sometimes you must move the object around the game board.
After finding all the pieces on the list this investigation is over, and you will be rewarded a clue card. This is a statement from a suspect or colleague who may or may not help you. These cards are stored in the clue room to be read without a time limit later in the game.
Bonus rounds between levels will offer more clues to your investigation. For example, after finding scraps of newspaper in the garden, you must put the torn pieces like a jigsaw puzzle back together so you can read the pertinent article in print in order to receive another clue.
After playing through 13 investigations and uncovering clues, you will come to the end of the game and will review all the clues and testimonies and hopefully be able to reveal “whodunit”.
The hidden object part of the game is relatively easy at first but gets more difficult further into the game. The hints are helpful, but there are only 5 of them per investigation so you have to use them carefully. I wasted 2 hints looking for an item that was off the page and not visible or reachable. I had to shrink the screen in order to see the location of the object. Another thing to watch is clicking on everything to find a hard to see item, because you will be penalized 30 seconds off your time. However, the 25 minute time limit is more than enough to search for most of the things on the list.
I don’t usually play hidden object/I spy games unless there’s another draw attached to it, and this one had the right one for me, Agatha Christie. Anyone who has read her novels or who likes I spy puzzles will really enjoy spending some time working and solving the Peril at End House. Also the music is very good and appropriate to the time period. So get to detecting and catch the criminal while having fun at the same time.

colony at Jamestown, named after King James. The story is moved along in between the hidden object and mini puzzle plays with characters speaking back and forth with you clicking to see the bubble with their conversations. This part is stiff and the dialogue not too interesting, but it conveys the message efficiently.
interesting, especially the ones with the different species of birds represented accurately. They have red-bellied woodpeckers with colorful canaries, a white goose, a couple of raptors and 2 male Hairy woodpeckers. The noise and the movements from flying birds are a little distracting, but manageable. You will find many scenes with waving lanterns with flickering flames and flapping flags to divert your attention from your search, but that’s part of the fun of hidden object plays.
clunky and not very challenging. I think it would have been better to show the entire maze, make it complicated and easier to manipulate her out of the puzzle. Another 
puzzle is to move the tiles to make the picture of an eagle. The third one is to move disks with pictures around to find the listed items. These puzzles help break up the hidden object play, but they are not very difficult. They may get more complex in higher levels. 
genre and makes it fun and interesting to solve the puzzles, including the mini games.
there is something new. In the early levels, the game makes you look for something and perform the task within the puzzle. For example, one level has banana peels hidden throughout and one of the tasks is to throw these peels out. You click and drag the bananas over to the trash can in order to complete that task.
intricate little objects that you have to spend twenty minutes looking for. Mystery Stories- Berlin Nights is much easier on the eyes and hides the clues cleverly, instead of in a sea of objects. This is definitely a plus, as my eyes were not straining like they usually are after a game like this.
was pretty interesting as well. You are a female reporter from New York in Berlin when you stumble upon some friends who are looking for a machine from a former German scientist who had to leave the technology for renewable energy to flee from the Nazis. It is your mission to find the missing parts and discover the mystery of Berlin. The only problem I had was with the slow load times, but that might just be my computer. This game is definitely worth the five stars that it deserves.
is the dinner plates with food outlined on it coming down a conveyor belt. You must select the food passing by at the bottom of the screen and click, drag the appropriate item to the platter before it reaches the customer. The plate must be full of food or the client is unhappy and you must start again. My favorite game is the donut hunt for the police chief. Some of the puzzles are simple and others are more difficult, but in any event you can skip some of the games and continue on the hidden object play.
