* ''Detectives United''

* CallBack[=/=]ContinuityNod: ''Raincliff's Phantoms'' is the sequel to ''Raincliff'', and one of the Brown siblings is mentioned in ''Black Isle'' as having joined the agency. [[spoiler:One of the Browns' long lost relatives is revealed to the BigBad in ''Raincliff's Phantoms''.]]

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Earlier made games prior to the ''Mystery Trackers'' games had simplistic CGI characters and iffy gameplay. It's not until they produced ''The Void'' that they hit their stride.

** ''Grim Tales: Colour of Fright'' gives you your first glimpse of what your character, psychic detective Auntie Anna Gray, looks like: you're seen in a photograph and while your face remains obscured, you're revealed to have auburn hair and an average body type which suggests middle age. By the time of the following game, ''Grim Tales: The Final Suspect'', you've become a white-haired, somewhat chunky, elderly [[Series/MurderSheWrote Jessica Fletcher]] type.

* HiddenObjectGame: Gamezebo considers them one of the best creators in the casual game industry, on par with Big Fish Games, Alawar, [[Videogame/DarkParables Blue Tea Games]], [[Videogame/{{Awakening}} Boomzap Entertainment]], and Creator/ERSGameStudios.
* LighterAndSofter: The ''Christmas Stories'' games are much light hearted than their other hidden object games, as they are mainly riffs on classic fairy tales.

* OccultDetective: The Mystery Trackers are an agency that specializes in supernatural mysteries.

** ''Train to Hellswich'' (Currently in BETA stages; the BETA version was released on April 4.)

* ''VideoGame/MysteryCaseFiles''[[note]]This series is actually belongs to Big Fish Games, but Elephant Games were hired to design and help produce it as a joint effort.[[/note]]

* ShoutOut: The plot of ''Game of the Gods'' is a slightly darker take on ''Literature/{{Jumanji}}''.

* ConspicuousCG: In ''Mystery Trackers'', your character is accompanied by a cute miniature pinscher named Elf. The fact that he's so simplistically drawn stands out against the beautifully detailed settings.

* FullMotionVideo: ''Surface'' and ''Mystery Trackers'' started out using these with their characters and cutscenes, but by their respective fourth games, have settled for using photorealistic renderings of actors and dropping the full motion cutscenes.

* LighterAndSofter: The ''Christmas Stories'' games are much light hearted than their other hidden object games.

* MagicMap: One of their signature features is a map interface that eliminates backtracking. It's especially useful in the plot-heavy games.

* ConspicuousCGI: In ''Mystery Trackers'', your character is accompanied by a cute miniature pinscher named Elf. The fact that he's so simplistically drawn stands out against the beautifully detailed settings.

** Averted in ''The Pantheon'', where you playing as the protagonist and her appearance is shown in the opening scenes.

* SceneryPorn: These games are beautifully rendered, but in the spookier supernatural settings such as ''Fate's Carnival'' or the ''Grim Tales'' series, it can lead to SceneryGorn.

* FeaturelessProtagonist: Zig-zagged. The most you'll get from the [=NPCs=] is a reference to your title if you're a detective, but other games will state your gender.

** In ''The Soaring City'', you play as the brother of an inventor who went missing, but there is nothing else about your appearance.

* FeaturelessProtagonist: Zig-zagged. The most you'll get from the [=NPCs=] is a reference to your title if you're a detective, but other games may state your gender.
