i used to play this pc game when i was younger. i forget the name but what i remember from it, it was a mystery game. all i remember from it is that it takes place at a boat dock, and circus, and on one of the mysteries you have to put together something to pop a paper bag to wake up a clown, and in another place you have to collect water drops from the ceiling in a bucet before they hit the ground
Is it from the Monkey Island series? There were a few different versions so you might wanna check them all out, but that's what it sounds like to me.
