Game Classification

The Unsolved Mystery Club sends its newest member to investigate the disappearance of Amelia Earhart, the famous aviator that vanished while flying around the world in 1937.

Unsolved Mystery Club: Amelia Earhart is a hidden object game with some elements from the point-and-click adventure genre. Most of the time, the objective is to find all the items listed at the bottom of the screen, on biographical locations related to Amelia Earhart's life. At the start of each scene, a character appears with details and trivia about the missing explorer. Blue entries are hidden from view, and only become available after using one of the inventory tools to perform a scene interaction. The hint button at the bottom-left corner shows the position of one of the required objects when activated, but takes some time to recharge after use.

Some of the objects are stored inside the inventory slots, from where they can be dragged and dropped on interactive portions of the scenery to complete a task or perform an action. The necessary tools are often found on different locations, forcing the player to go back and forth between them to solve all the pending objectives.

Mini-games appear on separate screens, where the player has to solve a Mastermind-inspired puzzle to discover the correct settings for the dials of a biplane, steer the aircraft through floating hoops, search deserted locations for clues using a localization device with a pulsating light, and complete other similar challenges.
