The ClueFinders: Mystery Mansion Arcade is a computer game in The Learning Company's ClueFinders series, where the ClueFinders are trapped by their enemies from other ClueFinders games. It was designed to be a bonus disc to be included with all the ClueFinders games (except for The ClueFinders Reading Adventures, which used to be included as a bonus disc itself titled The Mystery of the Missing Amulet, and which now seems to be removed from the series). Unlike most ClueFinders games, Mystery Mansion Arcade does not seem to be educational, with the exception of Leslie's game. It is the last major title in ClueFinder series to be released by The Learning Company.

Plot

The ClueFinders explore a creepy house on a hill, thinking that Joni's uncle Dr. Horace Pythagoras sent a distress email that he was trapped in the house and needed rescue. It turns out to be a trap, and the four ClueFinders are separated. Four of the ClueFinders' previous enemies Fletcher Limburger, Alistair Loveless, Pericles Lear and Miss Rose have joined forces with a mysterious new ally and created the trap to get revenge on the ClueFinders.

Gameplay

Unlike the other games the activities are not as educational as the previous games, but more arcade-oriented. The minigames consist of an obstacle course, category matching, a maze game and a pinball game.
