Mystery Case Files is a series of [[Casual Video Game|Casual Video Games]] 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.
The ''Ravenhearst'' [[Story Arc]] subseries is arguably the most famous line of titles to come from the Big Fish developers. Although the plots of all of the games in the arc are not related to the events at Ravenhearst Manor, you play the same Master Detective in all of them and there is a tangential connection in each one.
Line 68:
** ''13th Skull'', after the final puzzle, there's a cutscene in which {{spoiler|the ghost of Captain Crown drowns the criminals who have been playing the Master Detective for a sucker throughout the game ... including their pre-pubescent daughter.}}
* [[It's Personal]]: {{spoiler|Why Madame Fate was killed; because the Master Detective freed Emma from Ravenhearst Manor and also because Charles wanted vengeance for being labeled a freak while he was in her circus.}}
* [[Limited Special Collectors' Ultimate Edition]]: The ''Dire Grove'' Collector's Edition was a "let's see if there's interest in special releases" for Big Fish. From the number of subsequent CEs, it apparently works for them.
* [[Lock and Key Puzzle]]: Near the end of ''Ravenhearst'', you have to search the entire manor for keys scattered throughout.
** Same deal in ''Return'', except this time it's {{spoiler|jeweled hearts}} you need to collect.
