McDonald's Detective Conan Happy Meal

Well well, what do you know. The day I post this blog, it's already a day too late. The Detective Conan toy offer has already lapsed.

Anyways, the Detective Conan Toys are actually puzzles and games. There are six to choose from. The nice thing about these is that they are packaged to look like books, so you can actually make them stand next to each other or stack them up like books. Open one up and you get to solve the mystery therein. So in effect, you get to be Detective Conan (from the anime series) for a moment.

We bought two Happy Meals to get puzzles 3 and 5 (below).
Mine was the Twisted Lens mystery (colored yellow). There are a couple of cards in it with a gray background. You get a see-through bit of plastic that you slide over the cards and rotate tentatively until you see figures emerge from the gray area! That was a nice bit of puzzle; we actually did not get it the first time.

Anyways... I like displaying things and the Conan collection is not exactly display material. Puzzle 5 was a nice innovation for inquiring minds, and surely the other toys are too. But it's something that gets forgotten after a while. At least, the plastic book case can still be recycled to contain other things.
