Midnight Rescue, one of the Super Solvers games.
When I was younger I used to watch a friend play a game on his PC. The game was a detective game where you had to find a bad guy inside a building (school or something), but the bad guy was disguised as one of several robots that roamed the halls of the building. These evil robots were all designed as giant sentient paintbrushes, and they would attack you if they came across you. You search the building for clues, and when you have enough clues you can choose to accuse one of the robots as being the bad guy. If you get it right, he is unmasked (and if you do it quickly enough, he gets a custard pie thrown in his face).
If anyone can identify this game based on this description, I would greatly appreciate it, thanks.
