We have recently highlighted some of the best Criminal Investigation games on Facebook here. Today we are taking a peak at Criminal Case: Pacific Bar. The game has built a huge fanbase fairly quick, and is amongst the most popular criminal investigation and hidden object game. We will help you master the game, and maybe even have some things you didn’t know yet!

1. Study the scene!

It’s all about the ” Chain Bonus ” Study the scene before you wildly tap on the object. Memorize your list at the bottom the screen, then investigate the scene, locate as many objects as you can before you start clicking. Finding multiple items consecutively will increase your score multiplier, but if you take too long between items you’ll lose it. However, since the item bar only shows 4 items at a time, you should try your best to keep note of any items you have may have noticed lying around. It takes some practice to master this!

2. Hints!

Depending on the partner you select before jumping right into the investigation scene you will get different kind of hints, should you ever need them. However, if you can try to avoid using hints, even though it is tempting, you will receive a bonus at the end of each segment for every hint you have left you will receive a whooping 20.000 Points.

Even though this is a nice bonus, keep in mind that completing a scene, quickly will pay a bigger bonus than the one you would get from not using any hints.

3. Play the same crime scene repeatedly!

This can not be stressed enough. Play the same scene over and over again, you will start memorizing the objects hidden, the placements and more. Even though the scene is different every time you play it for the first few times, at one point you will start seeing the same pattern appear. Ever Hidden Object game has a list of hidden objects and once this list is exhausted you will start seeing the same objects again and again. The more often you play a scene, the better your results will be.

4. Don’t miss!

If you tap on an invalid item, your current score multiplier will break and reset back to zero. To avoid this, be absolutely sure that you know what you’re looking for. You can tap and hold on any of the items at the bottom if you’re unfamiliar with what they’re called to see a silhouette of it. If you continue to hold until the percentage meter fills up, you’ll see a detailed, colored picture of the item in question. This takes precious seconds though and should be performed only when you can’t really make out the item from the silhouette alone.

5. Connect to Facebook!

Join your friends, connect with a facebook group, do what you can to fill up the list of your friends. You will have a lot of energy problems early on because your maximum energy count is 100-110 and each crime scene takes 20 to play. Considering it takes at least two tries to earn a star on a level, you’ll be out of energy after two stars. If you have friends on Facebook who also play, they can help you out with energy problems.
