Where's an Egg?

About

You’re on the case in a point-and-click mystery where the only thing missing is an egg. As a Boise cop, you’ll poke around a cast of oddball suspects and locations like garages, gymbags, and other questionable hideouts. The game leans into its absurd premise with deadpan humor and a brisk, no-frills interface that focuses on the sleuthing. Each scene is a simple search puzzle, but the joy comes from the escalating ridiculousness of tracking down something so… unassuming. The game’s charm is in its commitment to the joke. It’s short but packs a surprising amount of personality, with pixel art and sound effects that feel like a retro comedy sketch. Though it flew under most radars when it launched in 2007, fans of quirky, bite-sized adventures have revisited it over the years for the laughs. If you ever wondered what a detective story about a lost breakfast item would look like, here’s your answer.
