Hidden Object Search

Hidden Object Search works from a list. Each picture has things hidden in it, and the list tells you which ones you need: various items, but also animals and people, which makes the targets more varied than a list of household objects.

The clock is short. You have a minute to find what the list asks for in each image, so it rewards a quick, organised search more than a slow browse. When you spot one of the listed objects in the picture, you click on it.

The developer calls it simple, and nothing beyond the list, the picture and the minute is mentioned. It is aimed at people who like solving puzzles and playing detective. It plays in a widescreen frame of 854 by 480, and the only control listed is a mouse click.

Look at the list to see which objects you need to find. Search the picture for them: they can be items, animals or people. When you spot one that is on the list, click on it. Try to find everything on the list within the one minute you are given for the image.

With only a minute per picture, read the whole list once before you start so you know what you are scanning for. People and animals tend to have familiar outlines, so pick those off quickly and leave more time for the smaller items on the list.

A list-based hidden object game with a one-minute time limit per picture. Targets include items, animals and people. It plays in a 16:9 landscape frame (854 by 480), and the developer lists a mouse click as the control.

Hidden Object Search 2: More Fun carries the idea into missions with a hidden bonus level for finishing them all, and Hidden Objects Bakery sets six items to find in each of 24 timed levels.
