This action-adventure is the fourth Adventure Time video game and first to feature fully 3D graphics. It's based loosely off of the sixth season of the show, and features exploring, investigating, and puzzle-solving. Finn and Jake decide to carry on the profession of Finn's foster parents, who were Professional Investigators. Joshua and Margaret - Jake's mother and father, who also raised Finn - were seasoned detectives back in the days before becoming parents. They received their assignments from a machine called the "tickertype," which printed out information on various cases. Now, Finn and Jake have unearthed the tickertype and decide to go into the investigation business themselves. Rather than following a single story arc that spans the entire game, the adventure plays out as a series of separate (but related) adventures in which Finn and Jake must travel the kingdoms of Ooo in order to solve the tickertype mysteries, set around the middle of the sixth season of the show.
Investigating and puzzle-solving are the heart of the game. The game's not focused on fighting, but what would Adventure Time be if Finn couldn’t solve at least some problems with his trusty sword? Combat is fast-paced, pitting Finn against a variety of familiar foes who drop lots of collectibles and loot (as game enemies so often do). When you go back to the Tree House after each "episode," you'll see piles of dosh grow in Finn and Jake's treasure room. Confronted with mysterious Land of Ooo disappearances and strange events, players will interrogate colorful inhabitants, dispatch evil doers in fast-paced combat, solve mind-bending puzzles, explore new and familiar locations, and genuinely feel as if they have stepped into their own personal episode of Adventure Time. A design contest was held for one lucky person's character design to debut in the game.
