A player is given a limited amount of time to complete each puzzle. Upon completing each hidden object puzzle, players return to their 'Crime Computer' where they solve subsequent puzzles in order to gather evidence and help pinpoint the thief. Like all Mystery Case Files titles, Huntsville relies heavily on hidden object gameplay. In case a player is unable to find a required object, many hidden object games offer a finite number of hints. Once a player has located all the listed hidden objects, they progress on to the next area of gameplay. Mystery Case Files: Huntsville marked the introduction of the hidden object game - a genre of casual game development in which a player must locate a list of objects which are hidden among many other objects on the computer screen. The latest installment in the series, Mystery Case Files: Crossfade, was released on November 25, 2020, and is the 22nd game in the series. In 2007, Big Fish Games estimated that '100 million people have at least sampled trial versions' of the Mystery Case Files games since the initial launch of Mystery Case Files: Huntsville. The Mystery Case Files series is known for its ‘ Hidden Object’ puzzles where, in order to progress through a game, the player plays the role of a Master Detective and must find a certain number of items hidden somewhere on a painted scene. Now, the newest installments were developed by GrandMA Studios. Some installments were developed by Eipix Entertainment between 2015 to 2019 and Elephant Games who developed sequels from 2013 to 2014. Mystery Case Files (also known as MCF) is a video game series originally developed by the internal studios of Big Fish Games.
