Mystery Tales: Time Travel

About

Mystery Tales Time Travel casts you as Melanie a French writer figuring out her ancestor's cryptic diary. The game sends you hopping through eras to solve puzzles and hunt hidden items across 30 global sites. Each location blends period-specific visuals with object-finding challenges and logic puzzles. The Nintendo DS touch screen handles inventory swaps and note-taking while time-sensitive tasks keep progression moving. The game leans into its time-hopping premise with varied settings from ancient ruins to 20th century landmarks. Players appreciate the steady flow of challenges though some find the puzzle difficulty uneven. With 150 total hidden items to collect and a straightforward story it offers 8-10 hours of casual play. The 2010 release remains a solid if unspectacular entry in the adventure puzzle subgenre.

Storyline

Players must help Melanie solve riddles and find hidden objects in thirty unique locations around the world.
