Each game follows a formula: AdventureArchaeologist Samantha Swift is out finding a treasure for the Museum of Secrets Lost, only for a female villain to come up and take it it for themselves. Samantha on the other hand, finds a clue that leads to an even greater treasure, something that would help foil whoever the main villain is. From there, the player helps Samantha on her journey while getting new artifacts for the museum.

'''The games in the series are:'''
* ''Samantha Swift and The Hidden Roses of Athena''
* ''Samantha Swift and The Golden Touch''
* ''Samantha Swift and The Mystery from Atlantis''
* ''Samantha Swift and The Fountains of Fate''

!Tropes for the series include:
* AbortedArc: Wherever Samantha's dad is and the reason for Payne' grudge against Samantha are never addressed in the games.
* BigBad: In order for each game: Ravena Stryker, Chess Geber, Colonel Tempesta, and M'Alice ne Pai.
* GreaterScopeVillain: Payne acts as one for all games in the series, as each antagonist is sponsored by him and does his biding.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler: Chess' main goal is to make her own version of the golden touch that's irreversible. During her final confrontation with Samantha, Chess accidentally touches herself and she turns into a gold statue with no way of turning back to normal.]]
* TakenForGranite: Unlike the original story, everything that was turned to gold by Midas remained that way, including his own daughter Zoe.
