Mystery P.I.: Lost in Los Angeles Walkthrough

INTRODUCTION

GAME OVERVIEW

• There are a total of 25 “Levels” in this game. Within each Level there are several Locations and a puzzle which must be completed before you can advance to the next Level.
• Each Location has a “Key,” “Reel,” and “Badge” hidden inside of it somewhere. After collecting these three items from a Location, they will not appear when you revisit the same Location in a different Level. Also, if you missed one of these items in a Location earlier, you can wait until you revisit the same location in a different Level to collect it.
• Finding all 25 Keys and Reels will unlock the Unlimited Seek and Find mode, and also unlock the Match 3 Bonus Game mode.
• Finding all 25 Badges will award you with an extra 1,000,000 bonus points.
• In each of the Locations there will be an item list to the left side of your screen; be sure to note that this item list is randomized.
• Sometimes on your item list there will be an item in parenthesis that will look somewhat like this: “Sharpen the Pencil.” This means you will have to combine two items in order to remove this item from your list.
• Some items on your list will have a number alongside them like this: 2 Birds. This indicates that there are two of these particular items to find in this Location.
• Items on your list with their entire name capitalized also have a unique meaning in this game. It generally means that the item you are looking for is really a word hidden in the Location.
• Too many random clicks will result in a reduction of your current Level score.
• Finding items in quick succession will result in an increase of your current Level score.
• Use the Hint button if you need help finding a random item from your item list. It will cost you 7500 points of your current Location score to use this button. It is impossible to have a negative score, so feel free to use this even if you have less than 7500 points to spare.
• Although the Hint button recharges slowly over time, you can speed up the process by selecting the Unlimited Hints option in the Options section in the Menu screen.
• There is a time limit in this game, but you can turn the timer off by selecting Relaxed Mode in the Options section of the Menu screen.
