Guess Who?

Guess Who? is a single person puzzle game for children that is based on the popular board game of the same name.

The game is mouse controlled and is presented as an interactive cartoon, it has three modes of play.

In the "Adventure" game game, the player investigates a crime on behalf of the 'Guess Who?' detectives. Whenever there's a problem in the town of Look-About-Landing this is the team everyone goes to see. They have their own high-tech tree house with a secret entrance, and a super smart jet pack enabled dog. There are three adventures of the 'point and click' style. In each the player examines clues, solves puzzles, collects parts for a gadget and help people. As a reward the plate gets to ask key characters a question that helps to identify a suspect, this part of the game is played in the same way as the player vs computer game and uses the same character set. Each scene contains multiple hot spots, some are related to the game but many trigger humorous animations such as bugs crawling from underneath a rock or a rocket being launched across the screen. There are two difficulty levels to the adventure games. The Normal game in which there is a single suspect, and the Challenge game where there are two suspects.
