GAME OVERVIEW

• Mystery P. I.-The New York Fortune has 25 levels and 25 unique locations.
• There are 3 modes in the game, "Find the NY Fortune,” "Unlimited Seek and Find," and a "Spot the Differences" Mode. The NY Fortune is a combination of seek and find scenes along with mini games at the end of each level.
• "Unlimited Seek and Find" means that you can find every single item in a particular scene. This mode will be automatically unlocked once you find all the keys and apples.
• "Unlimited Spot the Differences"
• In this mini game you will be able to compare 2 side by side images and look for the differences between them.
• You can choose to play the timed version or the relaxed mode. If you want to play in Relaxed Mode, all you have to do is click on the "menu" button and check off the "Relaxed Mode (No Time Limit") box.
• Hints are available in the game and they take time to replenish, however you can disable this feature. You can choose to have the hints enabled at all times without having to wait for them to refill by choosing that setting from the options menu.
• You can choose the "unlimited hints" button from the main menu if you want to use as many hints as you want. Keep in mind that the hints cost you 7,500 points each.

HINTS

• If you’re stuck trying to find an item you can click on the hint button and you will be able to find one of the items from your list. The item will be highlighted on the list on the left and also on the scene. Once you see the item highlighted click on it and it will disappear from your list.
• Using hints will deduct 7,500 points from your total points, use them sparingly. Always try and leave your hints for when you absolutely cannot find an item.
• Even though the hints are unlimited, they take a little over one minute to refill. You have to wait for the hints to be refilled before you can use them again.
• If you do not want to wait for your hints to replenish you can go to the options menu and select the Unlimited Hints option. The hints will always be available but they will still cost you 7,500 points each time you use it.
• If you use too many hints, you can replenish some of those points by continuing to look for hints once the game prompts you to do so. You will earn a Perfect Investigation Bonus (25,000 points) when you find all the items from a level.
• Hints can only be used for the seek and find portion of the game. It is disabled when it comes to playing the mini games.

SCORES

• There are several ways to earn money in this game. You receive 5,000 points for every correct item that you click on.
• If you find several correct items in a row and click on them quickly you will also earn a speed bonus that becomes higher the more items you find in a row.
• Each key and apple that you find will earn an additional 10,000 points for each. Once you’ve collected all the apples and keys you will also earn an additional 100,000 points on top of that. That’s 100,000 for finding all the keys and 100,000 points for finding all the apples.
• SPOILER!!!!!!! The next sentence contains a spoiler in the game, please do not read if you don’t want to know.
• Find all 25 magnifying glasses in the scenes and receive 1 million points!
• You will be given a certain amount of clues to find at the beginning of each level. Once you find the majority of them you will be asked to continue on and solve the puzzle or look for the remaining items. If you decide to look for the rest of the items, you will receive 25,000 bonus points, that is called a Perfect Investigation Bonus.
• You can also lose points in this game when you click on too many incorrect items in a row. For every incorrect item you will lose 2,500 points. For each hint you use, you will lose 7,500 points.
• The game is pretty lenient when it comes to incorrect clicking, it is only when you click very quickly that you will be penalized.

MINI GAMES

• There are several mini games in this game, they are pretty straightforward puzzles.

MATCH 3

• All you have to do is match 3 or more like items in order to eliminate a row.
• The matches can be made horizontally or vertically. The goal is to turn all the tiles that are underneath blue. Once all the tiles are blue you will be able to complete the level.
• You cannot use hints in this game.

WORD SEARCH

• Look at the list of items on the left and find them on the puzzle.
• As you find the words, click on them and drag the mouse to highlight the letters in the correct order. Words can be backwards, horizontal, vertical or diagonal.
• If you’re stuck looking for a word, just start with the first letter of the word and go row by row until you find it.

CIRCLE PUZZLE

• In one of the games you must click to rotate the tiles to make it look like the picture on the left. Once a row is completed the pieces on that row will automatically lock into place.
• Once 1 row is completed, any 2 adjacent pieces that are placed correctly will lock into place without the row having to be completed.
• The instructions say that you can right click to rotate the pieces but you can also left click them in order to rotate them.

JIGSAW PUZZLE

• Pick up the pieces on the left and place them on the scene.
• You do not have a picture on the left side which shows you what you have to recreate. However, the picture is on the main scene and you can recreate it from there. You can either left or right click the pieces in order to rotate them.

CLUES DISGUISED AS RIDDLES

• Some clues may be tricky to find. Whenever you see a clue in which all letters are capitalized it means that you have to actually look for the word in the scene, instead of the item.
