The initial round of the game has you hitting 11 of the areas and finding pieces of a puzzle that you must solve to find out the next clue to escape. In the current version, the skeleton is named Skelly and he guides you around the mansion to each of the 12 areas to solve each I Spy riddle and locate the associated items, or solve the mini-game puzzle. While the latest incarnation follows the same premise of the original (you get trapped in a mansion by a skeleton and it makes you solve I Spy riddles and puzzles to escape), it adds a lot more depth to the game including several more rounds and puzzles to be solved, as well as integrating in the Wii motion controls.

Recently, the folks at Gusto Games and Scholastic Press have brought back one of those original game titles with an updated version of I SPY Spooky Mansion for the Wii that was originally released on PC way back in 1999.

Somewhere in time, the I Spy corporate brand was created and has since been used to churn out many books and games through the years that have entertained many folks.

The game of 'I spy' has been around for years, played by both kids and adults alike during family vacations, hanging out on a lazy Sunday afternoon or pretty much anytime the mood struck.
