Description
Instructions: Use your mouse to play this game.
Campus Shadows opens with a death at Oxford. A student named Mike fell from a third floor window, and while the evidence looks straightforward, the circumstances are suspicious. Detective Harry is on the case, and you search the campus scenes with him. Campus Shadows is listed under Hidden Objects.
With a death to explain, every picture feels like evidence. Campus Shadows is free to play here, and Harry's case works on a phone too.
Investigating on campus
Scenes around the university hide a list of items for you to locate. Look closely at each picture, click the objects from the list as they turn up, and clear the scene to move the investigation forward. It is a game about attention rather than speed, so a slow, steady scan usually works best.
Detective habits
- Hunt for list items individually instead of trying to hold them all in mind.
- Check places where things would really be kept, like desks and bookshelves.
- When an object is missing, try imagining it rotated or much smaller.
