## Description

Embark on a globe-trotting mystery adventure with Osmo Detective Agency. Put on your detective hat, grab the magnifying glass and maps, and travel the world to help people solve clues.

The game blends physical pieces with digital play for hands-on learning and is designed for iPhone and iPad. It requires the Osmo Play System and Detective Agency play pieces (including a magnifying glass, a map holder, and eight maps). Compatibility details are provided by Osmo.
