GameZebo: "Not all detective work involves homicides. Art Detective is a spot-the-difference game that has you examining classic and lesser known paintings for subtle changes. It has a few creative mini-games, but a lot gets lost in translation.

If the title hasn’t given it away, the premise is simple. John W. Cromwell is an art expert and law enforcement agent who finds himself searching for the mastermind behind a series of art thefts. The crooks break into museums, churches, and private collections, and swap priceless paintings with cheap counterfeits. It can take months for the discovery of fraud, and then John is called in to determine the authentic painting from the impostor. Working in conjunctions with Jack Stinger from the FBI, and a museum and art expert named Alfred, John searches the globe for potentially fake paintings in the hopes of catching the crooks."
