Jake and Jennifer Eagle in 
Eagle Eye Mysteries™ The Original


Expert's Corner
The world today is more complex than ever — every day we 
must 
make decisions in a never-ending stream of new information. 
In this kind of fast-paced, dynamic environment, it's more 
important than ever to be able to access, process, and 
communicate information. And an excellent way to improve 
these skills is by solving mysteries.

In Eagle Eye Mysteries, kids improve these skills in the town 
of 
Richview as junior amateur detectives. Whether the case 
involves a stolen skateboard or a U.F.O. sighting, the kids 
must exercise a number of important skills: reading, 
reasoning, analysis, and interpretation. And as they solve 
cases, kids grow familiar with the town and the people in it, 
and use this information to solve the mysteries more 
efficiently, in ways that will carry over into their own real-
world experiences.

Eagle Eye Mysteries provides a fun and exciting avenue for 
kids to 
learn a variety of thinking skills that will prove invaluable to 
them in the years to come.

Our Mission
At EA*Kids, we start by asking kids what they want,  because 
when 
it comes to fun, they're the experts. Then we consult 
professional 
educators, combining their expertise with our ten years of 
entertainment success, to create software that captures the 
magic of childhood.


WELCOME, ACE! 
Hi, I'm Jake Eagle...

...and I'm Jennifer Eagle.

Together, we started the Eagle Eye Detective Agency. There 
are a 
lot of mysteries that happen in our hometown, Richview. 

Police Chief Barnes and his assistant Sgt. Nails were having 
trouble solving them all, so we decided to give them some 
help. And we need your help to make sure we don't miss 
anything during our investigations.

Soon, everybody began to come to us with mysteries to solve. 
We 
were glad to give them a hand, and we've learned a lot along 
the way.

You have to know a lot to unravel mysteries. First, you have 
to 
learn how to solve problems logically — using only the facts. 
Then, you have to become familiar with history, different 
branches of science, and lot of other subjects. Luckily, there's 
a good library in Richview where you can find out what you 
need to know.

There are other people around Richview who can give you 
information, too. And all the information you gather goes 
right into our hand-held TRAVIS which collects clues, 
information, and pictures of the suspects. You can use TRAVIS 
to refresh your memory about the clues you've gathered and 
the people you've talked to.

But our most important resource is you. You're our partner in 
all the 
Eagle Eye cases, and we depend on you to notice things we 
might miss and help us out during the course of our 
investigations. And in the end, it's up to you to point to the 
guilty party.

So if you're ready, let's start solving mysteries!

that 
plague Richview. Any mysteries that have already been 
solved appear in dark blue. Cases that still need solving 
appear in light blue, and the one you have currently selected 
is white. 

There are three groups of mysteries called Book 1, Book 2, 
and 
Book 3. You must solve all the mysteries in Book 1 before 
Jake and 
Jennifer will promote you to the harder cases in Book 2. 
When you solve all the mysteries in Book 2, they'll give you 
the toughest of the uncracked cases in Book 3. The mysteries 
in Book 2 and Book 3 have the same names as the ones in 
Book 1, but they have different clues and different solutions.

current 
Book, click and drag the scrollbar. You can also click on the up 
arrow at the top of the scrollbar to scroll up through the 
mysteries, or click on the down arrow at the bottom of the 
scrollbar to scroll down.

the 
Practice Mystery first to meet Jake and Jennifer, learn how to 
give 
commands, question witnesses, gather clues, and get around. 

See ScrapBook 1, 2, and 3

There are three ScrapBooks that Jake and Jennifer fill with 
souvenirs of your detective work. Each ScrapBook 
corresponds to one of the three books of mysteries. Jake and 
Jennifer fill these up as you solve cases.

CASE BRIEFING

When you've chosen a mystery to solve, you're transported to 
Eagle Eye headquarters. From here you, Jake, and Jennifer 
will get a little preliminary information on the case, a map of 
Richview, and 
TRAVIS. Get ready, get set, good luck!


GETTING AROUND RICHVIEW

places 
where you'll find the evidence you need to solve your case. 
The active locations are noted with flashing diamonds. A red 
diamond marks the scene of the crime, so investigate there 
first.

When you click on a diamond, you'll get a close-up view of 
that area 
and the names of the places marked by the diamonds such as 
the Bank or the Police Station. When you click on one of these 
places, you and your partner skate there and you can begin 
collecting evidence.

When you're ready to leave a scene, click on your partner's 
feet.

SOLVING A MYSTERY

The Eagle Eye Detective Agency goes by the book — that's the 
law. To catch a culprit, you must collect evidence, form a 
hypothesis (a theory about who did it, why, and how), then 
choose the evidence from your collection that best proves 
your hypothesis. 

The procedure below is taken straight from Great Grandpa 
Eagle's 
first handbook on crime-solving, published in 1842. Jake and 
Jennifer use it as their guide, and we've published it here for 
you to refer to. 

1.	Gather clues

	Gather facts and photos as evidence by visiting various 
locations, interviewing the people you find there, and finding 
clues. As you interview people and search locations, your 
partner logs all 
evidence in your TRAVIS.

2.	Figure out a suspect

	Form a theory about who did it and why, based on the 
	evidence as to who the guilty person is. 

3.	Choose the best clues to support your suspicions

	Go to your TRAVIS, click the red SOLVE button, and 
choose 
the clues that best support your suspicion. How many clues 
you'll 
have to choose depends on the book of mysteries you're 
working 
on.

4.	Accuse your suspect

	After you and your partner have agreed on the clues, 
you'll 
	have to choose your suspect from the people you've 
	encountered or heard information about. 

Once you've solved a mystery, you'll go back to the Eagle Eye 
headquarters to see the public response to your success. But 
hey,  
now isn't the time to relax — it's time to get on the next case!


TRAVIS

TRAVIS n.  1. An acronym for TEXT RETRIEVAL AND VIDEO 
INPUT SYSTEM.   2.  A portable computer that can keep notes 
and 
photographic images in its memory.

TRAVIS is your most valuable mystery-solving tool. As you 
collect 
information and discover clues at different locations, your 
partner 
(Jake or Jennifer) enters them into TRAVIS. 

To review the information your partner has entered into 
TRAVIS, 
click on it anytime  you're investigating a location.  

Choose the Notes button to view all the current notes your 
partner 
has kept.

Choose the Suspects button to review the pictures of people 
you 
have talked to. Click on a Suspect to review what that person 
told you or what you heard about them.

Choose the Solve button when you're ready to solve the case.

Choose the Up or Down button to scroll through the notes.

Choose the Help button to get help using TRAVIS.

Gather Clues

The two primary ways of gathering evidence are talking to 
people 
and examining the scene of the crime. 

In any location, people who have something to say or objects 
that 
contain important clues are outlined by blue glowing boxes 
like these.

Select the person or area inside a glowing box to get 
information 
and clues. 

To leave a location, click on your partner's feet and you'll go 
back to 
the map of Richview. 

Select Clues to Support Your Case

When you've thoroughly searched the locations of evidence 
around 
Richview and are ready to solve the case, pick the clues that 
best 
support your suspicion. Bring up the TRAVIS screen, then 
choose the red SOLVE button to bring up all your stored clues.

Choose the SOLVE button to get to the Clue Selection screen
Page up and down to  see your entire list of clues.
This Clue Counter tells you how many clues you have left to 
choose.

If you choose a clue as evidence, then decide you don't want 
to 
include it, select it again to deactivate it.

When you and your partner agree on the clues chosen, it's 
time to 
accuse your suspect!

Accuse Your Suspect

When you've selected solid clues as evidence, accuse the 
guilty 
party! 

Who did it???

If you accuse the correct suspect, you're transported back to 
Eagle 
Eye Headquarters to share your success with the other Eagle 
Eye 
partners. If you accuse the wrong suspect, you'll go back to 
the TRAVIS to review your clues. When you're ready to 
accuse someone else, click SOLVE, choose your clues, then 
accuse the new suspect.

SCRAPBOOKS

Jake and Jennifer are proud to have you as part of their team, 
so 
they collect all the articles and letters they receive about 
your successes and put them in a ScrapBook.  

You can view your ScrapBooks from the opening Option menu 
or 
from the Set Up Screen during an investigation.

There are three ScrapBooks in all, and each corresponds to 
one of 
the three Books of mysteries you've solved. When you've 
solved all the mysteries in Book 1 (and subsequently filled up 
ScrapBook 1), the Eagle Eye Detective Agency promotes you to 
Book 2 of mysteries, and you'll begin to fill up ScrapBook 2. 

If you solve your mystery on the first try, Jake and Jennifer 
award 
you with an Eagle Eye Ace award in your ScrapBook alongside 
the 
article about your case.

SAVING A CASE

To save a case during an investigation:

1.	Go to the Richview map screen and choose the Program 
Set 
Up button. The Set Up screen appears.

2.	Choose the Save This Case button, and your case is 
saved. 
IBM USERS: You won't see anything happen, but the case is 
saved 
until you want to try to solve it again later. 

	Now that the case is saved, you can choose Start New 
Case 
to begin solving a new mystery, or quit sleuthing by choosing 
the 
Quit The Program button.


Restarting a Saved Case

To restart a saved case:

1.	Start Eagle Eye as you normally would: choose a name, 
choose a partner, then at the Option screen, select Choose A 
Mystery.

NOTE! Be sure to select the same name that your cases are 
saved 
under!

2.	Choose the Load button. A list of saved mysteries 
appears.

3.	Select the mystery you'd like to restart, then choose OK. 
If 
you want to go back to the Choose A Mystery screen, select 
the Load button again.

QUITTING

Before you rush to quit your investigation, remember to save 
your 
place! 

To quit at any time during play:

1.	Press the ESC key on your keyboard until the big town 
map 
of Richview appears.

2.	Choose the Program Set Up button. The Set Up screen 
appears.

3.	Choose the Quit The Program button. When the Exit 
Game? 
box appears, choose Yes.

IBM USERS: At certain places in Eagle Eye, like the 
introductory 
menus and end-of-mystery screens, you can press the ESC 
button on your keyboard and instantly get the Exit Game? 
box. 

MACINTOSH USERS: To quit, press Command-Q (_-Q) at any 
time.

THE EA*KIDS HONOR SYSTEM

Suppose you and some friends make a newsletter, and it's so 
great 
that everyone wants a copy. Then you set up a stand and 
charge 5’ a copy. Pretty soon everyone is reading your 
newsletter, and you've made a lot of money which you can 
use to make a new newsletter. Right?

Not always. Some people see your newsletter at a friend's 
house, 
and instead of buying one for themselves, they just 
photocopy it. Even if everyone loved your newsletters, you'd 
go out of business if no one paid for their copies.

It's the same with computer games. It's easy to copy software 
for 
your friends, but it's wrong — it's stealing. There's no way we 
can stop you from copying our games illegally, so we trust 
you to pay for the games you enjoy because it's the right 
thing to do.  Besides, we use your money to make more games 
for you, and that's what we both want.

So please, pay to play. So everyone wins.
