The 9 Clues series was a very short lived one, even though it had the premise to become a popular franchise, being created by Tap It Games and Artifex Mundi.
However, this one saw just two games released over the years, in 2013 and 2014. But since I want to create an archive of all casual games ever launched, I am here now to write about the 9 Clues series and list all the games in chronological order. Let’s begin!
1. 9 Clues: The Secret of Serpent Creek
Released: July 2013.
Plot: A paranormal private investigator receives a frantic call from her reporter friend Helen, who pleas in a terrified voice for her to leave immediately for the coastal town of Serpent Creek.
Urged by her friend’s desperate request, the detective arrives at her destination only to find no trace of Helen. Strangely enough, no one from the sleepy town seems to remember seeing the blonde reporter.
Weirder still, the town’s streets are crawling with snakes, the citizens seem to be sleepwalking through life, and the ground shakes with violent tremors.
Can the detective save her friend, reveal the corruption and hidden agendas of the town’s citizens, and stop an evil plot to bring the Snake God back to our world?

2. 9 Clues 2: The Ward
Released: September 2014.
Plot: After responding to a distress call from a secluded psychiatric hospital, a young detective and her partner find themselves struggling to solve a murder.
As they press the patients and hospital staff they find that there are dark truths being kept from them. Each new clue only raises more questions.
Who killed Doctor Crow? What drove one of the male nurses insane? Who is Zed Rascov? Why is the name of a little girl, Ginger, carved into the wood-paneled wall of the dead doctor’s office? Can you unravel the mystery? Play the game to find out

I’m sad to see that just two games were launched in the series, as it was a good, fun one. Fortunately, there are many others you can try next.
