## Description
Fiona Powell is an explorer for National Geographic, whose scientist father
disappeared while investigating ancient shipwrecks. She dives in search for
clues on the very sunken boats he was studying, hoping to find a lead to his
trail.
_Nat Geo Adventure: Ghost Fleet_ is a straightforward hidden object game with
a sea exploring theme and mini-games between each location. The available
shipwrecks are shown as pins on a sonar screen, where the player must click on
sections of the open sea to activate the probing signal and reveal their
positions. The pins give access to one of the underwater scenes filled with
assorted junk and other paraphernalia, where the objective is to find and
click on all the items listed at the right side of the screen. A PDA with
historical notes about the ships visited can be accessed at any time from the
bottom interface, with tabs for crew profiles and information about the
artifacts found on the sites.
List entries in yellow are stored inside the inventory after being collected
from the wreck. They have to be used on certain shining hotspots, to perform
an action or complete a task. In some cases, the necessary tool might be
hidden on a different sunken ship, and the player must go back and forth
between the locations to complete the scenes. The hint button darkens the
whole screen, leaving only a small spotlight circle showing the position of
one of the required objects. Extra hints can be found and collected from the
scenery as ? symbols. Collected artifacts unlock bonus content, like
wallpapers and screensavers.
The mini-games are implementations of old concepts: jigsaw puzzles, scrambled
pictures, a spot-the-differences game with two similar photographs, a memory
game where the player must select pairs of cards, a variation of the “three
shifting cups with a hidden stone” classic using oysters and a pearl, a Pipe
Dream clone with twisted circuits that must be connected to disarm a bomb, and
other similar challenges.
