Pictureka Museum Mayhem Game Review

Museum curators lead hard lives too, taking care of exhibits and such, and when disaster strikes their job, there’s sure to be danger accompanying it. Pictureka Museum Mayhem perfectly depicts this scenario in a hidden object game where you get to deprive a wacky museum of robbers as the institution’s only curator, but for this game, it seems that danger takes fun along with it too.

Coming in for her job at night, the museum’s caretaker suddenly found all of the exhibits trashed and scattered all over the place. It’s evident that some robbers had found themselves inside the museum and it seems too that they are still inside hauling stuff. There’s no time to tell the police about it, so she has to take matters into her own hands, and accompanying her will be her trusty talking dog, Artie, and you of course, as you all try to restore all of the exhibits while catching burglars in the process.

As a hidden object game, Pictureka Museum Mayhem involves unique gameplay mechanics where instead of finding listed items, you are given cards bearing item categories and a number of such items you need collecting. For each card you clear, you gain points and Artie gains a step closer into catching a burglar. Cards are also color-coded, with the red cards having the most points, therefore you can focus more on clearing the high-pointed cards to finish the level faster and within the time limit.

Clearing same-colored cards in succession means earning multiplier points for the cards you clear. Points are gathered inside the museum vault, but a burglar may break in the vault too, stealing money in a consistent basis. By this time, cards will turn into gold, and clearing gold cards will shoo the burglar away from your hard-earned money. Anyway, after finishing each level, it’s time for a celebration as our heroine unravels a restored museum exhibit showing wacky art forms coming from their world’s fictional past.
