Ratings and reviews

This game really sucked me in in a way I haven't felt since I was a kid doing those old I Spy and Where's Waldo books. Many of the maps are gigantic, which helps keep the levels from being beaten too soon. The art is adorable and distinct enough to not have too much trouble finding people blending into crowds. Almost everything has a unique animation or sound when tapped. A lot of love went into this and it shows. My only regret was that it eventually ended. 5/5!

What an amazing experience! The game has a nice difficult level; difficult enough to be a real challenge, but not too difficult to make it frustrating. There's cryptic hints that are a joy to read, awesome artwork, hilarious sounds (constructed by the devs voices), no ads and also no timer. You can just take your time without feeling rushed. Its biggest bonus: it's interactive! You have to actually set things in motion to find certain folks, and its a joy to engage with the surroundings!

The only thing that would make this better is some color. Idk y others dont like this, but I LOVE it! It's very similar to the 2 Dots Scavenger Hunt & Hidden Through Time games, but there's more to it. There are silly sounds, but I think they're fun & you can turn them down. My favorite is that I can interact with some objects, & this helps you find some items. It's more interactive with the player & I love that. It's a little closer to a puzzle than just a picture hunt. & can get difficult!
