''[[Mystery Case Files]]'' is a series of [[Casual Video Game]]s from Big Fish Studios. Despite its title and slogan, no actual sleuthing occurs; it's actually a [[Hidden Object Game]], a genre which became popular with this series.
 
There are currently eleven games in the series. Eight of them are for home computer (''Huntsville'', ''Prime Suspects'', ''Ravenhearst'', ''Madame Fate'', ''Return To Ravenhearst'', ''Dire Grove'', ''13th Skull'', and ''Escape From Ravenhearst'') and can be downloaded at the "[http://www.mysterycasefiles.com Official Fan Site]" (isn't that an oxymoron?) or the [http://www.bigfishgames.com Big Fish Games site]. ''Millionheir'' is a DS release, ''Agent X'' is for mobile phones, and ''The Malgrave Incident'' is a [[Wii]] game.
Line 13:
* In ''13th Skull'', you're asked to leave your native England and travel to the United States to aid a woman whose husband is missing, and whose young daughter insists he was abducted by a ghost.
* In ''Escape From Ravenhearst'', you must return to the remains of the manor one more time, to find out why people have been disappearing in the area.

Line 20 ⟶ 21:
* [[Amusement Park of Doom]]/[[Circus of Fear]]: The setting of ''Madame Fate''.
* [[Ax Crazy]]: {{spoiler|A sketch in Emma's diary in ''Ravenhearst'' strongly suggests that Charles murdered her with a hatchet.}}
* [[Back Fromfrom the Dead]]: {{spoiler|At the end of ''Escape From Ravenhearst'', the efforts of the Master Detective have restored the murdered Emma, Rose, Gwendolyn and Charlotte to life. Charles had apparently already restored himself to full life, but dies again in the final explosion.}}
* [[The Bartender]]: There's one in ''13th Skull'' at the local dive bar, a young woman who is easily the friendliest person you meet in the course of the game.
* [[Big Fancy House]]/[[Haunted Castle]]: The setting of ''Ravenhearst'', which, while certainly haunted, is more of a mansion than a castle.
