- Detective Barbie in The Mystery of the Carnival Caper is a game targeted at girls five and older, tasking them with finding Ken and charity money the night before a carnival is to open.
It's the night before the carnival is to begin and Ken is missing, along with the charity money. Detective Barbie is on the case and needs your help to locate Ken and solve the mystery of his disappearance. With a library of over 50,000 names from which to draw, you can select your name and for the rest of the adventure Barbie will speak directly to you as together you try and find out what's gone wrong at the carnival! Targeted at girls from the age of five and up, this provides a learning experience by meshing problem solving, creative thinking and adventuring. During the story, Barbie's friend Becky provides hints and you can store your clues on an in-game crime computer. As the adventure unfolds, you'll interact with various carnival rides, find secret passages and explore the surroundings. As your investigation continues, you'll interview a varied cast of characters, follow clues and experience rides such as the Tunnel of Love (in a fast watercraft) and the wild Bumper Cars. You'll oversee the park from high atop the Ferris Wheel and Carousel, leap into a free-fall drop on the Parachute Drop and race around on your own Rocket Ride. Played from a third-person perspective, it ensures that each new game will feature new clues and suspects. Help Barbie collect 50 clues to solve the mystery at the carnival. Explore 25 different colorful areas. Race bumper cars, ride the water slide, and sail the Tunnel of Love.

I used to get so scared with this game 😂😂
Stephanie Cordova lol thought I was the only one 😂
Victoria Lopez dude that shadow man always had me all scared
Stephanie Cordova yessss! And the music lol
You're just calmly walking through the park and BAM shadow man glides past. Jumpscares for kids.
Yes me too and mostly when he was in the elevator 😋
Glad to see I wasn't the only kid who simultaneously loved and was terrified by this game
I dunno what was so terrifying about this game but it was my very first mystery game. I wasn’t so much bright until I was 10.
I can't be the only one who would pay for a complete remaster of all old the Barbie games, right?
I don't know why but I was always kinda scared while playing this game. I think part of it was because you're literally the only person at a carnival, it was night, and some of the songs are actually kinda creepy. Especially the song outside the merry go round.
Ahh! I'm in the middle of watching, and the guy ran by while you rode on the ferris wheel and I actually felt creeped out! Guess I'm still kinda afraid of this game😂😂
I remember watching my aunt playing this game when I was 4 or 5 years old; it really gave me the creeps, but at the same time I couldn't take my eyes off the screen to see what would happen next lol.
Good memories.
MegaPenguin3000 I used to feel physically sick while playing this game hahah
same here the parts when the culprit is in the slide Blonde didn't get a slide ticket she's just walking around the carnival and he pops up outta nowhere like the fan cards she walks to the magic show but passes the slide and he's standing right there! I'm like what she didn't find any slide ticket in the game so he is there just bam! so thats when I get freaked out the culprit coming outta nowhere like bumper cars tunnel of love and slide it freaks me out
MegaPenguin3000 amusement parks that are at night when nobody there are scary. Imagine if you were alone at the amusement park with only two items; a gun and a radio. Then your radio would tell you “Penguin, we got some black mysterious figure at the top of the Ferris wheel.” Back when I was like 6 or 7 (I’m 19 currently), I had this dream of the game thrillville and it was nighttime in the game which is unusual because in the game, it never shows that it’s nighttime. I was equipped with a gun and a radio in the dream and about an hour or two throughout the dream I was in a neighborhood near thrillville looking towards thrillville noticing that the Ferris wheel and other attractions were shut down while my radio was giving me weird signals that somebody or something was in the park. This is similar to this game in my prospective.
I knew I wasn't crazy! This game actually exists!
i totally thought i made it up in my head omg
Same i was like 4 o 5 years when I played this game, I actually don't remember if I played it in Spanish or English
Almost 2 decades later and I can pin point this game as the beginning of all my anxiety. It creeped me out but I loved playing it. 😂
THIS GAME SCARED THE SHIT OUT OF ME WHEN I PLAYED IT AS A KID
Thought I wouldn't get scared now that I'm older, but wow this game still spooks me good. The music, the atmosphere, and the uncanny graphics make it chilling to this day.
I’m here because this game haunts me
I love how Ken was there the whole time and didn’t make a sound… go girl give us nothing
I loved this game when I was a kid, the shadowy figure scared me though haha
I used to be absolutely terrified of the guy that peeked out every once in a while. I don’t know why, but he was nightmare fuel for me. I was so terrified that my brother had to play it for me. Honestly, I really liked this game when I was 4. It’s still pretty good for its time. I lost my copy but if I find it I’ll see if it works and I’ll just play through it for nostalgia.
When I was little I would have to cover my eyes but I ended up stop playing the game😂😂
Well here the suspects (except for Artie)
If it’s the magician (she wanted attention for her magic show. Though I guess when she was arrested I’m afraid the carnival will haft to look for a new magician.)
If it’s Mister Franklin the owner of the carnival (he just wanted the money for himself though if he is arrested it will all go to his son Jake Franklin.)
If it’s Jake Franklin (he’ll just kidnap and bring Ken so he can be the big hero and if he is a arrested I’m afraid Mister Franklin won’t have anyone to pass the carnival too when he was shield that the caper was started by his own son.)
this game creeped me tf out when I was a kid! I always played it though
andrea susnik it creeped me out too. My mom had to return it 😂
Scariest game ever but I played it a million times 😭😭😭😭
"Look! A shadowy figure running to the parachute ride!" -walks in the opposite direction-
MSWindowsinside 44:50
Jason White that’s so scary 😂😂
Jason White I thought you were describing me playing when I was a kid ! 😂
When I was little I thought ken was murdered.
Took 20 yrs to learn the mystery lol
LOL LITERALLY
Same
It’s scooby doo esk
Was also really cool that the story changed a little each time, so it had tons of replay value.
Joining the hundreds of others who say they were COMPLETELY scared when playing this game.
Thank you to whoever posted this.
Also cried from nostalgia.
I watch this now and can still perfectly recall how afraid and on edge I was! Trying to rationalize now and dissect all of that from an adults perspective now is pretty fucking special.
I GET THIS SOUNDTRACK STUCK IN MY HEAD AT WORK... WHEN I PLAYED THIS GAME WHEN I WAS 6 TO 10 YRS OLD... AND I'M NOW 25.
but omfg they nailed this soundtrack can i get an amen???
AMENNNN
AMEN
I remember being so mad that my name wasn't on here, but "Moon Unit" was xD
Whar a fun Easter egg😂Moon Unit is the name of Frank Zappa's daughter
I had legit nightmares about dude peeking around that Tunnel of Love entrance! Dear lord that is still traumatizing! Like my heart is pounding just looking at that thing lmao
Barbie: Excellent moves!
*bumper car smashes into another bumper car*
I always got spooked whenever a scene would load and the shadowy figure would suddenly dash away without warning. It got to the point where I would habitually look away from the screen every time I moved Barbie to a different scene...
Also, for anyone wondering, there are *hundreds* of names on that name list in the beginning, and there are voice clips for every single one. I would usually pick my name, but sometimes I'd pick a name at random just for variety.
I remember playing this as a kid. I didn't even care about solving the mystery, I just liked going on all the rides lol.
Same! Legit only looked this up so I could find out the mystery!
Man, this brings back such great memories for me. Even if this game seems like a silly and dated experience to others, I truly loved playing through it each and every time. Thank you for giving me a piece of my childhood back.
Pienso lo mismo 😊
Watching this was amazing but also gave me a little anxiety because I kept anticipating when the shadowy figure might appear!
why is no one talking about how this would be the dopest carnival?? this rides?? they seem so much fun even for a large scale theme park!
What bothers me is how they explain that the motive wasn’t the money yet it goes missing conveniently with Ken. If the motive was to get some attention then why take the money as well and leave it completely untouched? It just doesn’t make any sense as there had to be a couple hundred dollars in that box and human nature would instinctively cause a person who kidnapped someone holding that much money to grab some for themselves and go on a shopping spree. I mean you already committed one crime so stealing money isn’t out of the question at that point.
Looking at some of these comments I'm glad I wasn't the only boy that enjoyed this 😭😭 it was my older sister's game but the whole mystery concept and the fact that it took place in an amusement park at night got me engaged 💯
There are so many girls who also have never touched any Barbie games, it is that we tend to generalize the wrong things. Anyway, actually Barbie games are/were really good! The gameplay, designs, sounds. They are underrated.
@@7prudent those games made me a gamer. This one, the mysterious holidays, Barbie spy, barbie explorer... They taught us real gaming dynamics and technics
I'm glad I'm not the only one who was scared of this game. I was thoroughly convinced the shadowy figure was going to jump out and stab you.
I didn't think a god dang Barbie game would make me cry, but god damn. I miss being a kid.
I forgot about this game and it has been a distant childhood memory haunting me in the moments between sleep and wake… Now that I finally figured out, it feels like a new era of my life.
O_o
It's taken me 23 years to realise the voice of Becky is Phil and Lil
I remember the anxiety I would get from going from one area to another and just waiting for Barbie to run into the dark shadow culprit. It always creeped me out. Especially when you have to chase em through a ride.
Looking back at this the shadow figure is so laughable. But when I was a kid chasing him down was so scary.
I remember playing this when I was like 6 omg I miss being a kid :(
I was 6 when I played this too!
yeah I loved this game
I was 6 as well!
I bet we are all turning 30 in 2020
i miss being a kid in the early 2000s
When I came to the comments I was FLOORED how many people also thought this was scary. I would always have my mom come in to play it with me, or play the scarier scenes (chasing him down the slide for example).
It feels like so long ago but the nostalgia hit me like a ton of bricks and I was right back in that room playing on the bulky family computer like it was yesterday.
I'm watching this game now with 25 years old, and it's STILL creepy as i remember.
I have a theory that Becky and Barbie were completely wrong and sent an innocent person to jail because someone framed them. The real culprit was seen at the very end with the girls and yet no one ever questioned the suspicious evidence that clearly points to him. The person I’m talking about is Ken. Think about it. Ken literally had all the money the charity carnival made which had to be a couple hundred dollars worth given the size of the carnival, he conveniently disappears with said money during a magic act, he was found unharmed in a rather convenient location which no kidnapper would use as it is too obvious to be used to hold someone hostage and is literally the first place cops look in when dealing with kidnappings, the carnival money was untouched by the supposed culprit which is very odd given that anyone that kidnaps someone with lots of money on them will instinctively grab some for themselves, and the money wasn’t the motivation for kidnapping Ken which is also extremely suspicious.
Okay ain't gonna lie this game still scares the crap out of me hahaha, loved this as a kid, but jesus christ it's scary
I literally played this game 100x when I was a kid. Absolutely loved it
Can not believe the chills I got finding this. I use to spend the so much time on this game and would be so creeped out when the shadow figure came into the screen. Good times though.
i never even tried to solve this thing, i just played around the carnival for hours
emily toma same
Same
Damn I’m getting scared watching this rn too 😂😂😂 the background music is scary
I was actually looking for Barbie Riding Club (which you also posted), and I found this too. I used to play this all the time. I can't believe I forgot about it.
41:32 Nightmare fuel right there! Seeing that shadow man standing there always freaked me out as a child!
I don't care if it's a game aimed at girls. This game was my jam as a kid. Sad to see it hasn't aged well
Emo Josh sane I used to play it on my sisters computer as a kid 😂😂😂 Now I’m 16 and it brings back so much good memories.
Why it seems that it didn't age well? I find it very cool, but maybe it's my nostalgia kicking in.
Pretty sure they're referring to the computer graphics. It's pretty unsettling that everyone looks like the actual Barbie dolls and nothing moves except for their mouth.
damn, the nostalgia from this is immaculate
Hey hey hey! Let’s not say bad words here on UA-cam when leaving a UA-cam comment.
Did anyone ever find Ken?!😭
Usually yes lol
Lmaooo
That guy in the coat scared my childhood away
My favorite part was the slide! I remembered it so distinctly and couldn’t find where it was from until now haha. Thanks for the playthrough!
It's so embarrassing to admit, but I loved this game as a kid. My little sister was wicked into Barbies and dolls and I refused to play any of that with her, this was her game and played it on our parents' computer a few times but never had the interest in it. But I loved playing this game and would play it when no one was home to avoid sheer embarrassment. But the graphics were great and it was one of the better more in-depth mystery games out there for the PC at the time. This definitely brings back some great memories and one of the only instances that I will admit that I liked something related to Barbie. Thanks for sharing!
this game was one of my all time favorites as a kid, but i always thought the carnival design aesthetic was a little creepy
like if things looked a little happier and it was during the day it could have been a different game entirely
probably a good thing though or i might have been less interested haha
This is incredibly frustrating to watch because they're ignoring the clues and just wandering around lol
I have to stop because I just keep yelling *WHY AREN'T YOU GOING TO THE HAUNTED HOUSE GODDAMN*
Thought i was the only one
I used to play this game a lot as a child. And I love how Barbie was able to pronounce my name correctly!
Same! I'm sure someone who has the same spelling but different pronunciation of my name was sad that Barbie said it wrong for them.
Me too! And my name wasn't even very popular in my country so I was so happy

Thank you!!
you’re the BEst
OH MY, THANK YOU FOR UPLOADING THESE! I can't make them work even with an emuler of Windows, so this is the only thing I have left.
I had this game as a kid but I never actually finished it cuz the songs were creepy to me as a kid lol I miss games like these
i wish we can play it now somehow on our phones.. i would love to play it again in my 30s.. even the graphics were magnificent for its time
I'm sure you can with an emulator 👀
@@SpicePrincess1890 how? I wamt to know the process? What term you guys use to play such games?
I remember playing this when I was in a little girl ( I’m 21 now) and this game used to scare tf out of me I would play it every time I went to my cousins house 😂😂 the music would scare me so bad
I would always jump on my cousins computer to play this game too 😂
I played this when I was 4 or 5 years old. Somehow, I remember the animation being much more smooth than it is. But, damn, this brings back a nostalgia for a better time.
For the past three days I’ve been watching this in segments. I came for the nostalgia I stay for the mystery getting solved but leave because I can’t stand how slow Barbie heccen walks!
The memories!!!! This was a staple in my childhood 🥲 I want to play it again so badly
My man Ken fully acting like he wasn’t just MISSING FOR 24 hours while BLINDFOLDED - “I can’t thank you guys enough!” Jeezus Ken are you okay man you’re gonna need therapy!!
One day i was playing this game and in the exact moment when the shadow appeared in the elevator the lights of my house were turned off. I cried and start running
“I think we already found that clue!” I swear when my sister played that she’d always click and hear that a lot. Lol
Oh my god the memories! I remember playing this when I was little! The shadowy figure always made me uneasy lol 😅
My inner child is screaming right now!!! Barbie computer was my first computer, i remember my mom picking me up from elementary school and telling me she had a surprise for me and it was the computer.
Barbie Detective was my go to game! I had so much games from her 😭 i miss my childhood
lol I played this as a little kid but would always get stuck so I never beat it, glad I finally figured out the mystery thanks to this video xD I have been searching for a play through forever
As a kid I totally thought Ken was murdered
THE SHADOWY FIGURE STILL SCARES ME
When I was little I thought they were calling him shadow fingers 😂🤣
i just watched the whole thing hahaha i am amazed at how i still remember all of the songs!
BAAArbie!
HOLY SHIT THIS GAME SCARED EVERYONE ELSE TOO
I played this as a kid and I got so frustrated because I could never find any of the clues. I think I only found the footprints and obvious stuff like that, never objects. I never even knew you could play on or ride the rides :(
omg saaame except I would ride all the rides/play the games, but I never advanced in the game at all. I don't think I ever even saw the 'shadowy figure'
I was only 5 when I used to play this game on the computer so I never advanced in the game at all either
omg rewatching this i still get chills. this was so scary back then, still scares me LOL. the music is lowkey terrifying and then the suspense of ken just appearing all creepy...NOPE
I got so mad that I had to be "ASHTON" in the game. because they didn't have Ashley....ASHLEY IS A 90'S NAME! lmao
What the heck. They had the weirdest names, but not Ashley? I can't remember which name I chose, I doubt they had mine either
I fucking loved this game as a kid. And how they always changed the bad guy and the clues. Blew my little mind back in the day. Ahhh, memories.
The slide ride would give me anxiety! I would get so stressed trying not to mess up lol
AHHHHHHHH back when computer games were actually good! I found this video game stored with all of my other childhood games. I tried playing it again but it’s too old for my computer 😕 If I had a choice of bringing back an old game, this would be it!
I remember playing this with a friend and we would always scream at the part where you’re on the Ferris wheel and he walks by
i wish they would make remakes of these barbie games.
Can’t wait to finish this video and see where I was confused as a child.
I could never finish this game and I always got stuck when I was a kid. I wanted to play this again but it doesn't run on my computer anymore. thanks for all the nostalgia!
when the suspect just appears as she's walking by going somewhere and I see him it scares me I literally just freaked out
This game sparked my obsession with circus/carnival from a young age! I adored the music & was always so frustrated I couldn’t catch the suspect 😂
Me and my best friend in elementary school (who’s a boy lol) used to play this all the time. We could never solve the mystery though
Cool boy:)
Always a treat when Jake's the culprit. Most of the time, I would get Madame Wanda since I never wanted to talk to anyone.
Some of this carnival lore is a bit odd. It seems to be a temporary carnival, but the grounds look like it should be a permanent. Also, I have no clue how that slide setup works and manages to hold together after multiple assembly/disassembly. (Guess Artie's really good at his job!) And why would Bert Franklin have a "charity carnival" if his goal is to have enough money to buy his own circus and be a clown.
Still loved this game as a kid, and am forever kicking myself for selling the game. I've got half a mind to buy an old laptop, run Win98 on it, and have it around just for this game and the sequel.
Why am I watching this at 2am
I so remember this game!even though it was my sister's we both got addictedplaying a Barbie game was something else
I remember this game scaring ne so much, when you went through the swan ride. I look back and laugh. I'm almost 30, I miss this so much.
No Ron, go find Becky.
i remember playing this with my older sister one time and the creepy shadow guy walked by for the first time while we were on the carousel and he got so close to us it was the most intense jumpscare i've ever experienced 😂
I HAVENT SEEN THIS GAME SINCE I WAS 6 AND I JUST TURNED 20 😭😭
Thank you so much for uploading this
No problem 😊
I love this game but why was Barbie always walking so slow xD! No wonder why the suspect easily gets away
I loved playing this game so much! It's the creepiest game and some weird things happened after playing the game. The woman character became evil and said something weird. I was so scared I thought it was alive or something. Omg.
I only have vague memories of playing this game, but getting loads of flashbacks
when i played this i'd always click the magic top hat and have an unending stream of birds flying out and flapping lmfao... also, the slide was my favorite because of the music but I was always entranced by how the suspect's butt was red instead of the blackish brown color of their coat???
