No, it wasn't that. It wasn't anything that could be described as an 'action game', and the cartoon people looked more realistic than that, with fairly normal proportions and less bright colors.

Pretty sure it's Math Blaster Mystery.
A game we played on the old Apple computers in elementary school. This was prior to the 2001-2002 school year, when those computers were replaced with iMacs. You played as a Sherlock Holmes expy (deerstalker, pipe, etc.) wandering around an old house. If you talked to an NPC, they'd ask you a math problem. Solve it, you got a clue to solve the murder (I think). The graphics were 2D cartoons, but rather well-done. Does anyone know the title? It might have been made by The Learning Company, but I'm not certain.
