Along the way, Agent Tethers encounters clues and other objects that will lead him in solving the mystery and of course tons of puzzles to solve. I’m pretty sure that you’’ll enjoy this game if you love solving puzzles, it’s one of the best iPhone games for puzzle fans.

Puzzle Agent iPhone Game - Features and Gameplay

When solving puzzles you can try as many times as you like until your solution is solved and not rejected. While this is fine and increases the chances of you solving a puzzle, every time your solution is processed though - there is a corresponding bill of taxpayer’s money that you are spending. Most puzzles in the game will definitely challenge your logic and reasoning, while some may not require the use of them at all.

Puzzle Agent also has some other features which you can check out at the game’s main menu. You can see the flow of events and “incidents” that you’ve passed through via the game journal. You can also check out previous puzzles you’ve solved and even solve them again. You can also adjust various settings such as sound, voice and music.

When it comes to graphics, the game is pretty much your standard hand-drawn comic strip style. The game is rendered in 2D graphics which is good as extravagant graphics in this type of game would simply not work.
