Ratings and reviews

Disappointed by the cost. I usually don't pay for games, but based on the ratings I thought this might be worth it. I love hidden picture games. So I paid $4.99 and was enjoying the game.... Until I got to the beach scene (~level 5). To move on, I would have to pay another $1.99. So, my purchase only lasted me about a week. I don't feel that was worth it.

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!

It's a digital where's waldo with human noises as sound effects. Fun if you like that kind of thing. It's annoying to play on a smartphone IMO because of the small screen real estate (lots of scrolling in bigger areas) and most of the gameplay consists of tapping on grass, trees, etc. to uncover deliberately hidden things. I prefer just using my eyes to find things and not having to tap the screen incessantly. The sound effects ARE fun though.

What’s new

Hey – game designer Adriaan here. This is only a minor update for security and compatibility reasons. In the mean time, I am preparing to work on a sequel of Hidden Folks, but I'm not quite there yet. Stay tuned!
