About

Something’s not right in DinerTown! Help Bernie the Bookworm become a "real detective" as you hunt for vital clues in major mysteries like "who stuck their finger in all the jelly donuts?" and "who’s been partying like a rock star with the zoo animals?" And while you’re tackling those head-scratchers, you may even uncover a "real" mystery that affects everyone in DinerTown. Use the items you find in the crime scenes to narrow your list of suspects and ID the culprits as you search out the fun in this lighthearted spoof on traditional Hidden Object games.
