About this game

Hidden City is a hidden object detective adventure for players who enjoy cozy mystery games, search-and-find puzzles, story-rich quests and richly detailed scenes. Explore a mystical Victorian city, find hidden objects, follow clues, solve puzzles, meet unique characters and uncover magical secrets in the City of Shadows.

Your next investigation awaits in a game where detective cases, beautiful search scenes, puzzle variety and magical events blend into one captivating mystery story. Look closer, collect clues and discover why every object, note and artifact matters.

🕵️‍♂️ What will you investigate?
Search atmospheric scenes filled with hidden items, evidence, notes, artifacts, keys, symbols, curiosities and visual clues. Every location invites careful observation and rewards players who love to find meaningful details in beautiful environments.

Explore foggy streets, ornate halls, manor-like rooms, curious shops, gardens, arcades, laboratories and magical city districts. Each place supports the mystery and turns object search into part of the investigation.

🔎 Which search modes can you play?
Hidden City keeps the main investigation fresh with different modes designed to test your observation skills:
✔️ Words mode: Classic hidden object searching using text lists.
✔️ Silhouettes mode: Visual challenges based on object shapes.
✔️ Night mode: Focused searches in dim scenes using a spotlight.
✔️ Pairs mode: Matching identical or logically related objects to test your attention.

These modes support players who enjoy search-and-find adventures, visual puzzles, detective games and finding hidden items through careful observation.

🧩 Are there mini-games and puzzles?
Yes. The core search mechanics are supported by puzzle modes that add variety without taking over the main experience. Take a break from the investigation and play through:
👁️ Spot the difference: Compare two scenes using sharp observation.
💎 Match-3 levels: Crystal and gem matching for satisfying puzzle breaks.
🧠 Brain teasers: Logic mini-games, memory challenges and story-driven riddles.

This mix works well for players who want a detective game with brain teasers, a mystery puzzle with clues or a search-and-find adventure with match-3 elements.

📜 How does the story unfold?
Follow narrative-driven quests, character stories, special cases and event investigations. Assemble artifact collections, solve anomalies, complete requests and unlock rewards that help you continue your detective journey.

Every quest connects detailed scenes, puzzle challenges, magical discoveries and story progression into one polished mystery adventure.

Ratings and reviews

I am thoroughly hooked. The biggest issue is running out of energy and that it takes so long to regenerate. I am at level 200, so locations are expensive, and while I occasionally purchase some rubies and a 30 minute energy charge, it isn't enough to play as much as I'd like. Especially on weekends, like now, when there are several competitions going. I currently have too little energy to enter any location. 😞

I used to play Seekers Notes for years until they decided to up the price for everything and store ads happened after each location you finished. Not in this game. Barely any ads, the locations are beautiful and things move around in the background so it feels like an actual place instead of a static image. 1 item can also have several different versions so youre not looking for the same exact one every time too which adds variety. A profile section for in game people would be helpful though

The game is unfair. NOT ALL players are given the opportunity to watch adds. Some players are selected to receive free items for watching ads based on how much you spend. These can be rubies or tools to complete a task they failed. I know some players are allowed 2 or 3 ads to receive extra items to extend their task timers. It is unfair that some players can receive rubies and free tools in a game that has competitions and others cannot. I will not be spending money on this game any more.
