July 15th, 2005 It was a rainy day in the big apple when it came into
our office. Crime Puzzle (www.paprikari.com), a sweet little number
dressed up in more fur than a kennel. It was another of Paprikaris
kids, a kooky family that brought DDD pool into our office less than
one year ago. Seems this time theyve gotten themselves mixed up in a
bit of a puzzle
a puzzle involving stamps.
Welcome to Crime Puzzle, where you take the role of detective tracking a
trail of missing stamps. Match the clues (stamps) together and you
will wind up traveling across the world in pursuit of these strange
would-be thieves. Crime Puzzle plays like a classic puzzle game with
story elements from the 50s detective series. So toss on a trench
coat, classy hat, and a disheveled business suit (suspenders included)
and solve the crime of the decade!
Crime Puzzle features three modes of play including the Mystery Mode
where you must track down a stamp thief across the world. In addition
to the story method, you can challenge yourself to a timed game where
you must fill up the timer before it runs out by matching stamps. If
you arent feeling up to a mental challenge take the game into relaxed
mode where you have as much time as youd like to make as many matches
as possible. Crime Puzzle features upbeat jazz music and the chance to
play detective in the time of smoking guns and fur-lined coats.
Crime Puzzle comes with a free demo version that lets you experience the
game before you purchase it. The demo is available from
www.paprikari.com.
