Games Like Pearl's Peril: What to Play on PC Now That It Has Left Facebook
If you used to play Pearl's Peril on your computer, you may have noticed it is gone. On September 30, 2026, Facebook shut down its whole web games platform, and Pearl's Peril went with it. The good news first: the game itself lives on. Wooga says your progress is saved and carries over if you log in on a phone or tablet with the same Facebook account.
But if what you loved was sitting down at a real screen with a cup of coffee and a mystery, a phone is not the same. So here are PC games that capture what made Pearl's Peril special, and that you buy once and keep, with no energy bars to wait on.
What Pearl's Peril Fans Loved
Pearl's Peril follows Pearl Wallace, a 1920s heiress and pilot, as she travels the world to find out what really happened to her father. Between chapters you restore and decorate the family's island. That mix is the key: a glamorous old-time mystery, travel to new places, and a home to rebuild. Each game below matches at least one of those.
For the Mystery
1. Secrets of Salem: Shadow of the Witch
Like Pearl, Dakota is pulled into a mystery by a parent's death. In Secrets of Salem: Shadow of the Witch, a cryptic letter about her mother brings her to 1950s Salem, where she is attacked on arrival and her spirit is knocked out of her body. You search haunted manors and old graveyards to find the killer. It is a little spookier than Pearl's Peril, with the same vintage glamour.
2. Hidden Object Secrets: The Whitefield Murder
If the Chaos Veil was your favorite part of Pearl's story, try Hidden Object Secrets: The Whitefield Murder. A murder in an ordinary city points toward a secret group called the Eye Society, and you work through four suspects and a web of lies to find the truth.
3. Agatha Christie: Death on the Nile
For the golden-age mystery feeling, it is hard to beat the real thing. In Agatha Christie: Death on the Nile you play Hercule Poirot, searching more than 40 locations for clues, cracking coded messages and questioning passengers to find the killer aboard a Nile steamer.
For the Travel
4. World Wonders: Hidden Histories
Pearl flew around the world; World Wonders: Hidden Histories takes you there too, from the pyramids of Egypt to the temples of Cambodia. You search each site, collect coins, and use them to gather a collection of historical artifacts, learning a little about each place along the way.
For Restoring a Home
5. Gardenscapes 2
If fixing up Pearl's island was what kept you coming back, Gardenscapes 2 is the closest match on PC. Austin returns to his childhood home and its overgrown garden. You find keepsakes in hidden object scenes, sell items to the neighbors, and spend what you earn choosing plants and decorations for every corner.
6. Farmscapes
From the same studio as Gardenscapes, Farmscapes has Joe and his granddaughter Scarlett bringing a neglected family farm back to life. Hidden object scenes and match-3 puzzles earn the resources you spend on crops, buildings and decorations.
7. Antique Mysteries: Secrets of Howard's Mansion
A wealthy family, a grand estate and a secret: Antique Mysteries has you exploring a tycoon's mansion full of hidden rooms to find his scattered antique collection, and to learn why he hid it.
