Sunshine Bay (iOS, Android) - In Game Insight’s resort-building game, players can join Adele on a quest to stop the Faberge Egg thief from taking off with the game’s treasures. At the same time, players will hold a convention for famous detectives, build their own agency and collect eggs for their game.
