Hidden object games are wonderful specimens of boomer games where blending beautiful background images and simple scavenger hunt-type gameplay will never go wrong. We get to admire the lovingly crafted paintings and images while also devote our attention to spotting out specific details in them as part of the gameplay. While this may sound easy on the surface, some hidden object games do present a pretty challenging experience depending on how densely packed their pictures are, and how attentive the gamer is. This is why we would like to offer some tips and tricks based on our own experiences on how to become better hunters of the obscured.

The first tip is really simple - make sure to take a close look at what you need to look for based on the list shown either down below, or at the side of the screen depending on the game. It is easy to just make a cursory glance and then try to find the items, but people often miss out on the fine details of the items and end up wasting their time (as most hidden object games online do have time limits). Usually the pictures or background are littered with objects, so discerning the fine details of the item that you are supposed to find will make it much easier to accomplish your task.

Following up on the first tip, if the game you are playing has a time limit, try and find the objects that you think stand out the most among the list of objects given to you. This is entirely up to your interpretation on what “stands out”, but as an example, if the picture you see has brown as its main color theme, and there is an object that is mainly green or blue, that is what will stand out in your search. In this case, even if you do run out of time, you will still be able to get as high of a score as you can.

Next up, you should always start with the areas that look like there are intentionally made to look uninteresting or not so obvious. For example, if you are looking for a lantern, you might think it is hung up somewhere high above, but in reality, it might actually be lying down on the ground on its side. There are also instances where the object may be partially hidden behind something else, so keep an eye out and don’t forget to use the zoom in feature to help you spot these things.

If you so happen to play a hidden game that has a storyline, following its narrative is also strongly advised not just for the immersion, but also because the storytelling itself may give you a hint as to where the object you are supposed to be looking for is hidden. For example, if the story tells you that the object you are looking for is hidden somewhere that is wet, your attention should automatically go towards any water puddles or fountains, or any of that sort, to search for the thing, instead of spending your time scanning the entire picture.

To sum it all up, while everyone do have their own unique ways of playing hidden object games, following the tips and tricks we’ve shared with you will certainly help while you play these games for boomers. Remember to leave no stones unturned, and find all those sneaky little objects!
