Free hidden object games and spot the difference
These are games about looking. In hidden object games you search one busy picture for the items on a list. In spot the difference you compare two nearly identical pictures and click every change between them. Planning matters less here than patience and a methodical eye. A good share of the games run a clock, and a few let you take all the time you want.

About hidden object & spot the difference puzzles
The classic hidden object format gives you a list and a scene. Hidden Object Search allows one minute per picture, and its targets include animals and people as well as objects. Some games narrow the list to a single kind of target. Find the Kitten: Spot the Cat hides only cats and gives you zoom, pan and hints to find them. Super Cars Hidden Letters hides all 26 letters of the alphabet inside a supercar picture that you choose.
Spot the difference games vary mostly in how many changes they hide and how much time they allow. Soviet Cars Differences is strict, with 15 levels of seven differences and one minute per level, which works out at under nine seconds a difference. Another hides ten per level, lets you zoom in, and treats the timer as optional. Color Madness Spot the Differences has no time limit at all and uses pixel art, where a difference can be a single block of colour that has changed.
A few games sit between the two types. Find The Correct Shadow shows a picture and three silhouettes and asks which one fits, with Streak, Timed and Learning modes. Another game turns a scene search into a shadow puzzle: the item you need is shown only as an outline in a side panel, so you are searching by shape alone. A quick odd-one-out game in the section gives three seconds per step in its Normal mode.
Screen size matters more here than in most puzzle types. Scenes in a wide landscape frame make up most of the section, and small targets are easier to find on a larger screen. The portrait games, such as Find the Kitten: Spot the Cat, fit a phone held upright. Several games offer hints, and they are best kept for the last stubborn find rather than spent early. The timed games suit people who like a little pressure. The untimed ones suit anyone who would rather study a picture properly before clicking.
