Hidden Object: Investigative Reporter

Some people unwind with knitting. Others apparently prefer rummaging through suspicious motel rooms, cluttered newsrooms, and police stations looking for the one tiny object that cracks the whole case wide open. You'll play as an ambitious young reporter chasing leads through a series of mysterious investigations set in atmospheric locations inspired by America in the 1970s and 1980s. Every carefully illustrated scene is packed with objects to uncover, and the zoom feature is your best friend when the evidence is hiding in plain sight. As you gather clues, new locations and fresh twists in the story are unlocked, creating the satisfying feeling of piecing together a detective novel one discovery at a time. Between investigations you'll tackle jigsaw puzzles, memory card matching, and spot-the-difference challenges that keep your observation skills sharp while adding welcome variety. If you enjoy games like Criminal Case, Mystery Case Files, June's Journey, or the investigative side of Murder, She Wrote, you'll feel right at home. Helpful hints are available whenever a particularly sneaky object refuses to reveal itself, and completing levels earns coins that can be spent on extra assistance, so the mystery never grinds to a halt. Fully voiced characters, detailed artwork, and a relaxing soundtrack make every investigation feel cozy rather than stressful, even when the crimes themselves are anything but. Fun fact: the phrase 'scoop' for an exclusive news story dates back to the late 1800s, when reporters competed fiercely to publish breaking news before anyone else. Fortunately, in this investigation nobody can steal your scoop if you find all the evidence first.
