Hidden Object: Investigative Reporter

About Hidden Object: Investigative Reporter

Hidden Object: Investigative Reporter puts you in the shoes of a young investigative reporter working to uncover mysterious events, follow leads, gather evidence, and piece together stories worthy of the front page. The game wraps its hidden object gameplay in an atmospheric adventure set across dozens of locations inspired by America in the 1970s and 1980s, from newspaper offices and police stations to cozy homes, motels, busy streets, and shops. Beautiful artwork, fully voiced characters, and a soothing soundtrack fill out the experience.

One scene places a large stone lion statue on a pedestal beside a blue double door. Another shows a wooden dock with a blue fishing boat, a white seagull perched on a post, and several lobster traps. A train interior holds a wooden table set with a camera, a green lamp, and a red thermos.
