Nancy Drew: The Creature of Kapu Cave

As I finished this in December and I am writing in May, what I remember off the top of my head is that there weren't many locations you could go to, but there were some fairly in-depth puzzles involving entomology (and by extension, plant) research. What I really like about this series is that it isn't joking about trying to be educational and fun at the same time...so I actually learned and somehow retained the word "frass," which I guess is a more scientific term for bug poo.
That's what Nancy is up to. The Hardy Boys, meanwhile, are also in Hawaii, vacationing and undercover investigating. You get to switch between Nancy and the Hardy Boys in this game. Frank and Joe are at some weird "Immersion Excursion" resort where they make necklaces and catch fish for points they can use at the resort for things such as information about Hawaii and scuba gear.

Creature of Kapu Cave is overall a decent entry in the series, and iirc it's the first that used a tropical setting.
Battle Chef Brigade
Pretty fun match-3 puzzle game with the addition of battling monsters and collecting cooking ingredients. The ingredients you use determine the colors you have available to match as well as what the dish ultimately becomes. If the judge asks for a dish where the fire element really comes out, then you want to use ingredients that mostly add red gems, for example.
There are a bunch of different cooking tools that give different bonuses or have other functions. Often times, you have to keep track of 2-3 dishes over a round that lasts about 10 minutes.

Pretty boring to play more than one episode, honestly, and only gets worse when they want you to start platforming with its crappy jumping controls. It's various levels turning fairy tales (mostly from Grimm's but with random additions like A Christmas Carol and the King Midas myth), and you basically walk around turning the environment from colorful to dark, gross, and macabre.
