Strange Cases: the Lighthouse Mystery, a dark atmospheric adventure hidden object game. FBI agent Claire Ellery is the main character of this mystery detective game, who is not only having to contend with mysterious dreams has now also found that her partner and mentor is dead, but was it suicide or murder?
It’s up to her to collect and decipher the clues that her mentor left behind to crack this strange case of the Lighthouse mystery.

HOGs are ideal gaming elements which can also be easily used in many other genres of casual games, for example they can be interspersed with:

• Puzzle games especially mini games – such as cracking a code or sorting out a jigsaw puzzle
• Mystery Hidden Object games – in detective games, HOGs are a perfect way to use find the clues or hidden objects before you can progress to the next part of the mystery. These detective themed hidden object games, are my particular favourite as they are part of bigger mystery detective plot
• Adventure games – also profit from a good combo of hidden object gaming for both an interlude for the gamer as well as a quick way of moving the plot of the game along.

HOGs are adaptable to any theme or story because of the simple idea behind the gameplay, the scene and list of items can be anywhere and anything. Alot of the time the hidden objects have nothing to do with the location you are looking at, such as a fireplace on the seabed or a basket of bagels in a jungle, this especially true of the free online hidden object games. But, with the larger download games where there is a full on storyline then the hidden objects are more relevant and logical to the location.
