DinerTown Detective Agency Review
Oh, that Bernie the Bookworm. Don't be fooled by his meek appearance -- he has the goods to become a savvy sleuth. After reading an ad in a magazine, Bernie orders a detective kit and with the help of his friend Flo (of Diner Dash fame), he sets out to solve more than two dozen mysteries plaguing Diner Town.
Such is the premise behind PlayFirst's DinerTown Detective Agency, a new hidden object game (HOG) with fun deduction elements and many mini-games.
