Seek Find

The scenes in Seek Find are larger than the window you view them through, and that shapes how it plays. You drag to pan across a picture, scroll to zoom in or back out, and click whatever you are hunting for.

The developer calls it a scavenger hunt and aims it at players of all ages. The scenes come with maps to explore and secrets tucked away inside them, and the test is plain observation: can you pick the hidden objects out of a busy picture?

Zoom is the useful part. Pulling back gives you the whole scene at once, which is handy for a first sweep, while zooming in lets you check whether a small shape really is the thing you are after. A selected object is marked when you click it, so you can see what has already been found.

Look over the scene for hidden objects. Drag with the mouse or touchpad to move around the picture. Scroll to zoom in for a closer look or out to see more. When you locate a hidden object, click it, or tap it on a touch screen, and it is selected and marked as found.

Use both ends of the zoom. Start zoomed out to get a sense of the whole scene, then zoom in on one area at a time and drag across in rows. Small objects that blend in at full view are much easier to confirm close up before you click.

Hidden Objects Bakery also has scenes bigger than the screen, scrolled through shop by shop, and Hidden Object Rooms Exploration asks you to drag through living rooms and other spaces to find six items.
