Mystery Tales 7, is a detective game about ghosts, witchcraft, rituals and bringing the dead back to life! As the paranormal detective, you’ll have to make your way to the ghost realm. Before you can solve this mystery. And rescue your brother.

There’s a good variety of hidden object game types. Though you can choose to play match 3 games instead. But the game play tends more toward puzzles and mini-games, than HOP games. And when you play each puzzle, you can select the difficulty (Easy or Hard) mode within the puzzle scene. There’s also plenty of collectibles throughout the game, for extra game play.

The soundtrack and ambient sound effects are good at creating the right mystery atmosphere. However with the sound effect (like a fanfare) that accompanies every time you find an item or reach an achievement. Tends to ruin this tense mood and is distracting.

The character animations are a little dated and stilted. This also doesn’t help to maintain the right atmosphere for this the ghostly mystery. Similarly the visuals are a little old, not as clear or bright as they could be.

Overall, Mystery Tales 7 is an OK detective game. The plot is minimal and not unique. And the character depictions are a little dated. However the game play is good. And some times challenging. This is a detective game for puzzle fans who prefer fewer HO in their HOPA games. Especially, as you can set the difficulty mode per puzzle as you play.

Available on Amazon for: Fire Tablet (US) or Fire Tablet (UK).

This is the 7th installment in the series. See my post: Mystery Tales Game Series List. For all of the game titles in the series so far, in order. Available on PC, Mac, Android, Amazon Fire, iPad and iPhone.
