A player is given a limited amount of time to complete each puzzle. Upon completing each hidden object puzzle, players return to their Crime Computer where they solve subsequent puzzles in order to gather evidence and help pinpoint the thief. Like all Mystery Case Files titles, Huntsville relies heavily on hidden object gameplay. In case a player is unable to find a required object, many hidden object games offer a finite number of hints.

Once a player has located all the listed hidden objects, they progress on to the next area of gameplay. Mystery Case Files: Huntsville marked the introduction of the hidden object game – a genre of casual game in which a player must locate a list of objects which are hidden among many other objects on the computer screen. The latest installment in the series, Mystery Case Files: The Dalimar Legacy, was released on March 16, 2023, and is the 25th game in the series.
