Line 96:
* [[Den of Iniquity]]: Mark Moriarty's fort, in the extreme southwestern corner of Richview. He and Dave Grant generally hang out here, and the place is dirty, unkempt, and littered with trash (the scenery animation shows a rat scurrying in and out of a corner every few seconds).
* [[Down in The Dumps]]: Again, Mark Moriarty's fort. The land itself is adjacent to the Arnold couple's land.
* [[Everythings Sparkly With Jewelry|Everything's Sparkly With Jewelry]]: Amy Jolanna and Mrs. Harper are the two most noteworthy examples; in Amy's case, during Book 2's and the Challenge Book's versions of "Case of the Midnight Masquerade," she wears (respectively) a blue sapphire tiara and an emerald pendant, and in her avatar picture she wears a necklace and earrings. Nicola Hamble, a recurring character from the same game, is always seen wearing a necklace in her avatar picture, and a few other women in the town wear very noticeable earrings.
* [[Everytown America]]: Richview itself.
* [[Its Personal|It's Personal]]: "Case of the Pilfered Pop" starts with the gang's private soda stash having been stolen from its place at the bottom of their tree-house base, and "Case of the Runaway Reptile" centers on finding out who stole the Eagles' pet iguana Watson. In Books 1 and 2's versions of "Case of the Midnight Masquerade" from the same game, the case becomes this when Nancy Marx, one of the Agency's members, is made a suspect in the case's robbery mystery.
* [[Geographic Flexibility]]: Richview, as stated above.
* [[Local Hangout]]: Pisa Pizza Palace and Sweet Treats, a pizza restaurant and ice cream parlor, respectively.
Line 108:
* [[Trademark Favorite Food]]: Most of the kids in Richview, including Jake and Jennifer, appear to enjoy pizza. In one mystery, [[Big Eater|Mark and Dave polish off an extra-large "Pig Lovers' Pizza," which contains ham, sausage and Canadian bacon]].
* [[Treehouse of Fun]]: The Eagle's Nest.
* [[Two -Teacher School]]: Richview's local Kennedy School only ever has three of its teachers revealed: Mr. Minas, the math teacher; Sgt. Morrow, the football coach; and Ms. Skerzo, the music teacher.
* [[Where the Hell Is Springfield?]]: All we really know about Richview's location is that it's somewhere in the United States.
 
 
Line 128:
* [[My Local]]: London's Sherlock Holmes Pub and the Smuggler's Inn in Dartmoor.
* [[Paparazzi]]: In "Case of the Renegade Raven," one of these tries to get a story on apparent laxness in security at the Tower of London by hounding the head warden and groundskeeper on the furor being caused by the disappearance of one of the eight local tower ravens (according to legend, if all the ravens leave the Tower, the monarchy will crumble).
* [[Paper -Thin Disguise]]: Done in "Case of Blood's Bold Bauble." Aunt Miranda wants to get information from Ritz Hotel desk clerk David Herrick, but he won't co-operate. You and your partner volunteer to try and get the info from him instead...so your partner borrows Aunt Miranda's glasses and puts them on you, then pretends to Herrick that you're the star of a new TV show, "Kid Detective," and that he/she is your promoter/agent. Herrick's a bit suspicious, as he's never heard of "Kid Detective," but Jake/Jennifer tells him that's because it's not on the BBC--yet. Then you get the info you want.
* [[Put On a Bus]]: Everyone in the first game who's not the player (you) or named Jake or Jennifer Eagle, is put aside to make way for the new characters in the sequel. Justified in that at the start of ''EEM London,'' the detectives are going on holiday to a place that is an ocean away from their home town. {{spoiler|[[The Bus Came Back|Amy Jolanna does make a cameo in the sequel, though]]}}.
* [[Rule of Symbolism]]: Cats play a frequent and crucial role in ''EEM London''.
* [[Separated By a Common Language]]: Serves as a plot point in three of the sequel's cases.
* [[Serious Business]]: Animal rights is this for Macavity. Capturing Macavity is this for Inspector Gage. Keeping silence in the library is this for Mr. Sneed. Chess practice is this for Philip Mynd in "Case of the Chess Club Caper."
* [[What Happened to The Mouse?|What Happened To The Mouse?]]: {{spoiler|The ruby in "Case of the Rajah's Ruby" is covertly bought by Macavity at the end of the case and never shows up again for the rest of the game - not even among the wealth left behind by Macavity at the end of the game}}.
