Discover DinerTown Detective Agency

PlayFirst announced the official release dates for their new hidden object game, DinerTown Detective Agency. DinerTown Detective Agency takes players to 20 new locations within DinerTown to solve a series of kooky “whodunit” cases that have thrown the residents into a state of confusion. The typical tension of the mystery genre is replaced with tongue-in-cheek cases including “Who stuck their finger in all the jelly donuts?” and “Who’s ordering pizzas to my house from the worst place in town?” All of which lead to a much bigger mystery that envelops the DinerTown community. “With DinerTown Detective Agency, we decided to present a fresh angle on the hidden object genre and entertain players in a challenging but uniquely satirical way,” said Kenny Shea Dinkin, vice president and creative director, PlayFirst. “Players will experience the comic irony in every aspect of the game including design, color, storyline, dialog, music and characters.” Bernie
