Cluefinders Mystery Mansion Arcade Full Walkthrough Cluefinders Mystery Mansion Arcade is a game created by The Learning Company and Riverdeep Software in 2002.
If this were in the 2020s, we'd have this post-credits message on a green phone: "Cluefinders, you can call me the Chief. All you need to know about me and my agents is that our main goal has been to stop Carmen San Diego and her agents, VILE. It's clear that you have what it takes to find her, but you can't do it alone. I'm sending you coordinates on where to go next for help and training. When you get to your destination, all will be explained if you ask for.... Shadows Hawkins. Chief out."
I find it a contradiction that they chose to have Ms Rose in this game as a villain. Because in the original game, she really wasn’t a villain nor was she evil. She was simply trying to protect her kingdom and she gave the clue finders a chance to help her. Also the clue fingers didn’t defeat her in the original game, they helped her. Not to mention that the Clue Finders are suppose to be the only humans who know of the existence of her Underground Plant Kingdom. So how would Carmen Sandiago know how to recruit Ms Rose? It honestly would have made more sense to put Mimi Ramon from Search and Solve in Ms Rose’s place. She was unequivocally evil and more the mastermind over her brother. Also if she had set up a trap it probably would have been amusement park themed, that still would have been just as cool as Ms Rose’s underground plant trap.
They should make another Cluefinders game, in which they team up with ACME to catch Carmen by traveling around the globe either with Jules and Hawkins or an ACME good guide.
That sounds like a great idea! 👍This game was the last ClueFinders game and it was released over two decades ago. I think it would be a good idea to create a new ClueFinders/Carmen Sandiego game for a new generation of kids.

The villains could've actually won here if they had simply swapped the Cluefinders around the different traps and make them do the traps they AREN'T skilled at. Obviously Owen the pro skater has the best chance of getting out of the skate trap while Leslie the bookworm has the best chance of getting out of a literature trap. Meanwhile tech savvy Santiago has the pinball machine trap and athletic Joni has the platformer trap. It's like the villains want them to escape.
I remember this game. I was able to do Owen and Santiago's challenges (even if that pinball machine was a BITCH to control) but I remember I needed to get my parents help to finish the library
Joma Hawk Leslie's challenge is my favourite because it matches my bookish personality. Joni's is cool too cause all of the ClueFinders were together and needed to complete it. Owen's is pretty, well, "radical, dude!" and Santiago's was the most frustrating and time-consuming.

I used the number keys on the right side of the keyboard to make diagonal jumping easier when I was playing this. Also, I held down the spacebar for farther jumps.
Joni, is the brave and fearless leader - Enemy Miss Rose Santiago, is the gadget man - Enemy Pericles Lear Owen, is the cool dude kid - Enemy Mister Limburger and of course Leslie is the bookworm - Enemy Alistair Loveless Let the battle begin! (DING)
I thought of an explanation for the presence of Ms. Rose: that actually *isn't* Ms. Rose at all, remember her real form was that of a giant plant not a human! Instead it's another villain - most likely Mimi or Jacques Ramon (he was able to change his voice) - in disguise! Maybe Mimi or Jacques met Ms. Rose in her human disguise when she was double-checking on how things were going with the factories above ground (especially to make sure that they wouldn't switch back to using pollutants) and found out about the Cluefinders having helped her stopped the factories from polluting her kingdom. Mimi or Jacques faked friendliness to get Ms. Rose to trust her/him, just like how Jacques faked friendliness to trick the Cluefinders into rescuing him from that ride. Then when Mimi or Jacques was recruited to help capture the Cluefinders she/he got the idea to pin the blame on Ms. Rose so that if the Cluefinders did escape they wouldn't go looking for her/him. This also would explain why the living plants attacked Ms. Rose in the end, because when she arrived down there they instantly knew 'she' wasn't really their queen!
You know, the pollution making Ms Rose evil again still doesn't make sense. It never even made her evil before, just defensive and protective. It would make more sense if the fourth villain was one of the people who owned the factories that were polluting the plant kingdom in the first place, and he/she wanted revenge because being forced to stop polluting the waters cost his/her factory lots of money. So he/she targets Santiago, since he was the one who went to the factories in the first place. Of course this would mean that Joni is targeted by Pericles instead.... No wait, Pericles targets Owen because if he hadn't lost his wallet on the cable car then he and Joni wouldn't have been shrunk which caused all of the Cluefinders to investigate the shrinking mystery, and Fletcher targets Joni because it was her uncle who first tried to stop Fletcher's poaching/furrier scheme. That makes way more sense.
Actually, Lear targeting Santiago makes sense because he was the one who used the unshrinker to make the shrinker large, which had pinned Lear to the ground.
@@MWolfL I would go with Limburgher-Joni for sure. I would also replace Ms. Rose with Malicia from the Reading Adventures game and have her target Owen since he was the one who trapped her in the amulet. And I think I would keep Loveless-Leslie, since they're both knowledgeable.
Well done fellows!! 7 years ago They should make another Cluefinders game, in which they team up with ACME to catch Carmen by traveling around the globe either with Jules and Hawkins or an ACME good guide.
Leslie's game was a bitch, where I constantly had to stay in one spot, to keep the Gargoyles from breaking the books, but also having to move long enough for the right book to fall next and complete the pile. Lol I played the game only 2 years back for old times sake, and The Library was the worst. When I was 10, it was the pinball machine. lol
So in this game we have the pilot, the criminal mastermind, the toy store manager, and the old lady who's secretly a plant. What about the other culprits from the amusement park, the Himalayas, and the other planet?

Sorry, no download links will be provided here and there's no talking about pirated downloading here. If you want the game, you'll have to order it through Amazon or eBay.
KJSeeker3000 and why was she even part of the revenge plot in the first place, I thought she was greatful to the Cluefinders for helping her clean the water in the plant kingdom
That's what I was wondering! Maybe the other villains brainwashed her? Oh no wait, Leslie just said that the pollution made her evil again. Never mind.
Living proof why Cluefinders needs an anime adaptation
Until then, there's always fanfiction.
Well, just don't feature Alistair in it until we confirm Martinet's Mario replacement can do a passable impression
@RyanCunningham-tw4wd It should have
@@castleoffiction96You mean Chris Pratt?
@@michaelschlueb2286 No, in the games Martinet's retired too.
_"You thought the mastermind behind these badguys would be a new Cluefinders villain. But it was I, Carmen San _*_DI_*_ eg _*_O_*_ !"_
Why did you spell it "San DI eg O"?
referring to the “but it was i, Dio” meme

Was thinking the same
The pollution made her evil again
Thank you for clarifying these aspects of Cluefinders lore
remembered this game, played this on a old beige dell optiplex running windows xp at school when i was 8 years old
I never beat this game as a kid. At the time, I thought Leslie's level and Santiago's level were impossible. I wonder if I'd have an easier time now.
They should make another Cluefinders game, in which they team up with ACME to catch Carmen by traveling around the globe either with Jules and Hawkins or an ACME good guide.
Who knows? Maybe they can appear on the Carmen Sandiego Netflix series.

30:34 That was literally just Wario laughing.
Charles Martinet
I just found out that Charles Martinet, the voice of Mario, is Alistair Loveless. Just...this is awesome
So the jokes I made about him being Wario were actually me being unintentionally correct.
Weirdly, yes. That said, I am NOT looking forward to a Cluefinders remake with the guy from Wonder voicing Alistair, are you? @@lucasmarble2572

kylezaking I think they wanted to beat them at their own game
Or they could just literally trap them without the possibility of escape lol
HUSH! Don’t say that! They probably are tapping on our comments!
Gregory Blain yeah pretty much.
Ryan Whitfield villains love to toy with victims like this. Like the riddler.
I've played all of the ClueFinders games, except this one. I never played it before! I didn't even know this was out!
+csiwannabe001 It was a bonus CD that sometimes came packaged with their games.
I remember this game. I was able to do Owen and Santiago's challenges (even if that pinball machine was a BITCH to control) but I remember I needed to get my parents help to finish the library
I could manage Owen and Leslie's challenges but I never could finish the pinball one. I got so frustrated!
Joma Hawk Leslie's challenge is my favourite because it matches my bookish personality. Joni's is cool too cause all of the ClueFinders were together and needed to complete it. Owen's is pretty, well, "radical, dude!" and Santiago's was the most frustrating and time-consuming.
I can’t believe that Carmen was in this game. How come did she trap the cluefinders like that? I should’ve known.

Those red books in Leslie's level remind me of the Clow Book from Cardcaptors...
There should be a game of The Cluefinders vs. Carmen Sandiego when they stop Carmen and go against her and catch her something.
Laptrap: "What don't the email serves crash when you WANT them too?!" I'm sorry but I gotta do this... #90s problems
The plants act as saving points. If you walk past them, your progress is saved.

I think she was testing future opponents.
Joni, is the brave and fearless leader - Enemy Miss Rose
Santiago, is the gadget man - Enemy Pericles Lear
Owen, is the cool dude kid - Enemy Mister Limburger
and of course
Leslie is the bookworm - Enemy Alistair Loveless
Let the battle begin!

@@nicholasemjohnson47Or if the villain was Mimi Ramon instead of Ms. Rose.
Stop acting like your contribution was so impressive, Lear. You just took a regular pinball machine and used your reverse-shrinker on it.
I just booted up this game after over a decade and it's still as bullshit hard as I remember lol
Well done fellows!!
7 years ago

omg. i had this CD!!!! so nostalgic.
1:29:58
M. Night Shyamalan: What a twist!
1:29:58- CARMEN SANDIEGO?!
+Lucas Han Where in the world did she go?
If they made a story that Carmen was KIA, then they would ask, "where in the world HAPPENED to Carmen Sandiego?".
Leslie's game was a bitch, where I constantly had to stay in one spot, to keep the Gargoyles from breaking the books, but also having to move long enough for the right book to fall next and complete the pile. Lol I played the game only 2 years back for old times sake, and The Library was the worst. When I was 10, it was the pinball machine. lol
And also Leslie's Library Activity took forever to beat than Santiago's Pinball Activity.
Brings back old memories
I never played the game with the pinball villain. But the rest of the villains I do recognize
So in this game we have the pilot, the criminal mastermind, the toy store manager, and the old lady who's secretly a plant. What about the other culprits from the amusement park, the Himalayas, and the other planet?
The culprits from the amusement park were probably doing time making their own art, while the apprentice is probably messily gobbled up by the Yeti
They defeat the villains once. And they do it again
Let's not forget the aliens who disguised their ship as a mysterious island!

I struggled with this game.
Little anti climax for me, since carmen santiago is not really known in europe... Really liked all the games when I was younger haha

Anyone know if this game still available?
@raidpirate52 wait. Charles martinet also voiced Pericles Lear? I though he just voiced allistair.
Awesome Educational Game.
God. I hated Santiago's new voice! It makes my ears want Jar Jar Binks voice back!

Yes.
Clue Finders vs. The Enemies of Villains
who will win?
Why the Clue Finders of course.😉
27:31 Is this a reference of a game?
Is what a reference to a game?
It's the levels of Starflyers where they go through caves of Bowl-a-rama and Cafeterium to get the final items on their lists
Villains are all get together in this mansion. Uh Oh!

Carmen SanDiego was in this game
holy twist ending batman!
Why is Ms. Rose being attacked by her own plants?
I guess the ClueFinders should go and try and help her get back to normal.
KJSeeker3000 and why was she even part of the revenge plot in the first place, I thought she was greatful to the Cluefinders for helping her clean the water in the plant kingdom
That's what I was wondering! Maybe the other villains brainwashed her?
Oh no wait, Leslie just said that the pollution made her evil again. Never mind.
You mean "Joni"?
they only did water pollution they did'nt reckon the air pollution
6:20
