Pest Detective is an interactive mystery. The National Pest Management Association’s Pest world for Kids Web site (http://www.pestworldforkids.org) The site defines pests as “animals out of place” and thus explores pest ecology rather than pest elimination. The site gives players some superficial degree of control (they can choose the order in which to view clues and suspects), but the player cannot deviate from the through path of the mystery. It clearly has some game like qualities: the challenge is to find the explanation for an event (a bug bite or house damage). The animations and particularly by the anthropomorphized insects. foster an emotional connection with players, yet closely follows a scientific-deduction method.
