The Private Eye: Your Challenging Investigation

In general, the game-play is integral and addictive. One investigation gradually transforms into another as you pass through different locations and places.

To complete your task and satisfy a secret person who needs your help you are to sleuth in multiple locations and find hidden items there.   This type of gameplay is common for MCF, Dream Day Wedding, Mysterville and other hidden-objects games.   You are given a list of items to be found and a certain period of time to do that.   The aim is to distinguish the required objects in the cluttered and bright locations. Playing Private Eye you are to do the same, but be ready for some unexpected surprises.

 

First of all, you are to find the items by searching and shooting them with a camera objective, as a real snooper. This is just the way you should play Paparazzi game.

Strange thing, the clues you find don't disappear from the playing field and if you click them after you've already got them, you lose your score. By the way, you get minus 50 points after clicking the wrong item,  so think carefully! And at last, you'll constantly keep on smiling while playing the game as the comments on the found titles are extremely funny.   Before you start your investigation you will be given a map with a pointed location, such as Africa, Egypt and other countries (total of 30 ) and a subject to look for. Also you'll be provided the information about that place and suspected people - their hobbies, points of interest e.t.c.

 

As everything in the game story is covered with a haze of inscrutability, you may find yourself in different secret rooms or in the heart of a picture, for example.

When you focus the objective on the chosen item, you may see an eye, which means a hidden location.   Follow it to get to the bonus level and make a great step in your investigation. It may also be a hand, which points to the required evidence. It will give you additional points.   If you are at your wit's end, ask Kimmy for help. But you should take into account, that it will take her near 25 seconds to find the object.

 

Private Eye also features some challenging and unique sublevels and bonus tasks. Thus, if you wish to earn more score and accelerate your investigating process incredibly, you may accept the following tasks.

Firstly, you may go deep into the very heart of a simple wall picture (as you see in your objective) and try to unravel its secrets and find all the hidden items.   Then, the game offers you to compare two pictures and mark the differences between them or to find the objects by their silhouettes - the way it was in Paparazzi.   But it still is not the whole list! You should also try to grab the required words by clicking them. As the words appear and disappear very quickly on the playing field, be very attentive! You may click on a wrong word which looks very similar to the one you are to find and lose you score.

 

As for me, Private Eye is rather addictive game, but it is very similar to Paparazzi. Despite being overloaded with lots of different game-play types, it won't get you bored. All in all, you can  always skip the task that you don't like. As the music and graphics are quality, you may try your sleuthing skills in the most comfortable settings.
