Hidden Objects Reviews

I’m perfectly fine with ads. I play plenty of mobile games with ads; I’m happy to watch an ad every now and then, or have ads on the screen on the top, bottom, or side while playing a game…but forced and timed ads every minute is ridiculous.

Sure, you can skip them, but there are so many!
I spent more than half the time I played this game skipping ads. I played for 30 minutes and I spent more than half that time skipping through ads. That’s a lot. I was going to pay for ad-free but $10 is crazy to me to pay. I’ve paid anywhere from $1 to $5 for ad-free play but I’ve never seen $10.

In the end, I deleted HiddenObjects after 30 minutes because while trying to find the last few hidden objects, I spent more time skipping through the ads than I did moving around the image. Constantly dealing with ads was just too much. What a bummer.

Beware: you’ll wait her pay $10 for ad-free, a subscription price, or you’ll just have to deal with more than half your play time dealing with ads.

As someone who loves these types of games, I find the design and ambiance of the whole game so appealing. I find myself enjoying the calm music and the gameplay itself: it is a great, relaxing experience.
Although, my reason for one star is because of the amount of ads and pop ups that occur COMPLETELY ruin the game. About every 45 seconds a prompt for an ad pops up, which to me is ridiculous. To further add onto this, I was considering buying the package where I could get all of this removed but: TEN DOLLARS. This is unreasonable, and for this reason I would really consider bringing the price of this down to at LEAST five dollars if possible. Until then, I’ll have to say goodbye to this game

I don’t mind ads and understand when a company has ads to allow them to provide “free” content. But when ads are so close together that anytime you get on a roll and start to enjoy an ad pops to slow you down and kill progress for at least 30 seconds. And to those who say oh turn Wi-Fi and data off. I play these games to pass a few minutes while waiting on something, someone. So turning that off hinders me. But 1:30 seconds on the nose. I used the clock on their app to track it. 1 star. Not fun. Who would want to do anything where you are stopped that much until you pay. 1 or 2 ads per level should be enough. I guess greed presses it up to 20 per level because they discourage you from wanting to play. Deleted.

You have WAY too many ADs. Its ridiculous that you think charging $10 to get rid of ADs is acceptable in ANY way. Theres an AD every 60 seconds! The game is cute, but I will never pay $10 to remove ADs. At max I would pay $1. This is why I don’t tell anyone about the game. The time wasted on ADs is beyond frustrating. Reduce the ADs & charge $1 to remove them & it would be 5 stars. You really could have a great game here, but it’s obvious you’re making a ton of revenue from ADs already & asking people to pay so much to remove ADs will keep this game from succeeding. What a shame.

The first 10 minutes of the game was so much fun and I was really enjoying it! After the game prompts you to open a New World, which happens very quickly, you will get an ad every 20 to 30 seconds!! And they are very lengthy ads that you cannot escape from. I got a double Ad and had to suffer through almost 2 minutes! A HUGE DISRUPTION! I have never in my gaming history seen an AD pop up so many times in such a short amount of time! It’s completely ABSURD! I understand they need to insert Ads to make money but this is absolutely insane and the worst I have ever seen! There are definitely other games like this out there and I intend on deleting this one and downloading another one from a developer that is not so greedy and one that is not infested with ADS! What a shame! This game had so much potential, but their greed sickens me! At least let us play it for a bit without an Ad every 20 seconds and I would’ve paid for Ad Removal. I will never download another game from this developer simply because of this fact. Ads have destroyed the entire gaming industry. Games are designed to play, not watching ADS 90% of it. Not everyone is in a position to pay for Ad Removal. I would have gladly paid for it, but I refuse to give my money to someone that is so greedy. Remember, your players make you or break you!

No family share. My Autistic daughter want to play this but I am NOT shelling out $10 or MORE for each peso. Who tris it on my ipad to have it on theirs!!!! No. Now they have but this upgrade, and this tool… all separate. Ohhhhh a monthly plan. Nope.

Update: I WOULD GIVE 0 STARS. Now, they say you can have your game on a single account BUT YOU CANNOT USE THE GAME ON ALL DEVICES THAT ARE SIGNED INTO YOUR ACCOUNT!!! I feel ripped off. I cannot restore the setting iPhone (to keep the game progress) because I lose my progress on iPad. I really am disappointed with the developers for not stating this before you commit $10. That is just basic ads removed. Upgrading in the amount they WANT doesn’t event let you do this.

I understand the need for ads to make money but to play for not even 30 seconds to watch an add is disgusting. Greedy app developers at their finest. Have ads for coins, or to get hints but only play for 30 seconds to watch a minute ad? Atrocious. Don’t waste your time. There are PLENTY of other similar apps to play!!!!!! There is not a single chance HiddenObjects got a 4.7 rating. They must be creating their own reviews!

UPDATE: your generic response is barely laughable. Here we have apps with no ads or ads after a level. My review stands, to play for barely 30 seconds to watch an ad is disgraceful. How anyone plays is beyond me! Greedy developers once again!!!!!!!

I love scavenger hunts. Unfortunately, the way you have designed your app has made it unpleasant to use. Adds every few seconds are ridiculous. I play several other games that have ads, but they don’t interrupt until you have finished a level once you have finished a level You watch approximately two minutes worth of ads and you go to the next level. Also, I have played other games where instead of having ads every level you watch ads to earn bonuses to help you with each level. Either version would still support your goals, but make your app much more pleasant to play. Because of how you have it designed I’m going to delete your app. I hope you work on designing this to be more pleasurable for your customers.

So just took a scroll through the most recent reviews and I cannot believe that they haven’t reduced the number of ads for this long. It is extremely baity that this game was free of ads for so long, so they gained a large number of positive reviews so now they have decided to spam everyone with ads. Well, watch how fast your game’s negative reviews outnumber the positive.

I am giving one star. Because that is what you deserve giving ads every 90 seconds. This game used to help me feel calm and go to sleep. Now, I feel anxiety as I race the 90 second timer and then my phone vibrates at 10 seconds left. So awful to take a beautiful game and completely ruin it with ads. Totally use ads to make some money. But Please let me know when you reduce the number of ads so that I can play this game again. I do not play games that give me anxiety.

Seemed really fun at first. Graphics and art really stand out. However, the number of ads is pretty ridiculous. Also the apparent lack of care from the development team about this issue and other critiques from fellow reviewers is disappointing. It is understandable, and expected, to have ads to make the game free. But a game with this many ads is incredibly distracting and frustrating, especially because they come so frequently (~every 90 seconds) during levels. Couldn’t stand more than a few hours of play. Paying to get rid of them isn’t worth it either, because the price is far too steep and frankly this isn’t a game I’d be inclined to give money to anyways. What a bummer. I hope they listen to these critiques in the future, and I might consider downloading again if they significantly cut the number of ads shown in a level.

I paid to remove the ads because yes, they were INSANE. But I enjoyed the game play enough that I went ahead and paid to remove them. Now I’m seriously regretting that decision because you never get enough energy to really play for longer than a few minutes. It’s ridiculous. Requiring energy to find an item is just dumb. I really wish I could go back in time and just delete HiddenObjects instead of giving them my ten dollars. Because I can’t just sit and play this casually for longer than a minute or two, I’m unlikely to go to this game when I need to pass time. So odds are good I’ll forget HiddenObjects even exists before too long and it’ll eventually get offloaded from my phone. I guess nice work on the devs for sneakily giving tons of energy up front and then bombarding you with ads to coerce you into paying them thinking aha! now I’m free to play for ages. Nope. Think again.

I love a similar app to this so I wanted to try yours since it has more worlds. I’ve seen other reviews mention the ads being out of control. When they started popping up, i started a timer after I clicked out of an ad, then stopped it once another popped up. 1 minute and 38 seconds was the time between ads. I’ve seen your responses to people who criticize this, basically saying you need revenue. It seems like if you decreased the frequency of ads, you would have more people keep HiddenObjects . Sure, there is a remove ads option, but $10 is a little steep considering i could put that money toward food or gas. Your app was on my phone for an hour before I deleted it. If you truly want revenue, I suggest decreasing the amount of pop up ads AND what you charge for the ad free. You will actually make more money that way.

You really liked this game, its difficult at times to find the items making the search fun. But they ads are wayyy too plentiful. You get am add almost every minute. I deleted the game because of it but it wasnt fun having to sit through an ad every other minute even if you cam skip some of them… i totally understamd ads but this is unplayable with them. They basically want to annoy you into pay for no ads because the game its self is really fun

I love this game and don’t mind the ads if they are reasonable, but HiddenObjects is absolutely, insanely outrageous with the constant ads. I can’t play the game for a minute before another ad pops up! It’s so unnecessary to have so many ads in such a short period of time. I have decided that I am going to forget HiddenObjects and move on to something else that’s more reasonable. Having all these ads is not going to get me to pay for an ad free game, it’s just going to make me go somewhere else to play a matching game. It’s a shame because I really like HiddenObjects with its animations and scenery, but I can’t handle all those ads just to play a game that’s supposed to be relaxing, entertaining and fun, if anything it’s stressful because I am rushing to find things because I know I just have under a minute before another ad pops up. Hopefully you will do something about this, but if not, I will highly recommend finding another seek and find game.

I think the game itself is BEAUTIFUL and fun. I think one of the best hidden objects games out there but the amount of ads it’s way too much. I think you get an ad every 30 seconds or something. And if you want to get rid of the ads you have to subscribe to $9.99 —> which is VERY expensive for a game of this kind. I am very close to uninstalling it and it’s only been a couple hours of play because it became annoying. Also, most of the times, the ad takes you to the game it’s showing you to install it and it took me a bit to figure out how to find the “x” to go back to the game. Previously, I was just closing HiddenObjects and reopening it again.

Very dissatisfied with the frequency of ads. If it wasn’t for the ads, I would give this game a 5+ Star rating!

I was loving the game after the first puzzle! Then the ads came (yes I know that’s how games get their money so we can play for free) but I timed it and starting on the second puzzle I was getting a ad every 50 seconds. I never pay to have ads removed just because one here and there after a game is fine but I strongly considered it because I liked the game. But to remove ads it’s $9.99 and I cannot justify paying that much for a game I’ve played less than an hour. Maybe the creators will see this and fix the game from having that many ads and so I can actually enjoy the game. Please know I truly do understand the purpose of having ads. I just don’t see having them every 50 seconds because the player can’t even enjoy the game because it’s mostly ads.

This is a fun game with lovely graphics. I understand the necessity for ads. Most apps run the ads after you have completed a level/section, or when you earn a reward. The ads in this just randomly stop your game every few minutes. Maybe you need to make the maps in smaller sections so player can finish the map a smaller piece at a time. Then you could run your ads in between sections. I have only had HiddenObjects for about 30 minutes and will be deleting after i finish this review its too annoying to have the game just randomly interupted…so sad

I was excited when I saw an ad for this and immediately downloaded. It’s actually quite fun and I like that even though some are easy finds, others can be challenging. The problem comes with the ads. I know a lot of other reviews said the ads were crazy. As most do, I needed to check for myself and look at the numbers. I downloaded and it allowed me to play a few minutes with no ads. After that initial part though, I played for 30 minutes. Within that 30 minutes, I had 16 ads, all of which I timed. All of the ads ranged in lengths with the average ad being a little over a minute long with the shortest being a little over 40 seconds and the longest being about a minute and a half. But back to the numbers. After timing the ads, within the 30 minutes I played, there were 16 ads for a total of 18 minutes. That means over half of my play time involved sitting and either watching or having to interact with ads. I only was able to actually play for 12 of the 30 minutes. Which is absolutely wild. The game has a lot of potential and I genuinely enjoyed what little I was allowed to play but sitting through that many ads WITHOUT having to buy the ads free version is a little too much. I understand needing ads, but when you’re hindered and unable for play your game for about 20 out of 30 minutes, that’s excessive.

I have been playing this game for months, I really enjoy it and I’ve played all levels multiple times. HiddenObjects has the most in number as well as the most creative maps I’ve seen out of all scavenger hunt apps. It’s a real shame I’m giving it two stars.

There’s a couple ads (happy match cafe asmr, and some happy hospital game I don’t know the name of) which HiddenObjects just greenlit to show ads through HiddenObjects. These are disgusting; showing pimple/wart popping, open wounds (cartoonish but still), and pulling things off of infected feet. This has caused me to throw away food and vomit multiple times.

I’ve already uninstalled all other apps which show these specific ads, and I’m very sad this one will need to go too.

App managers need to ensure the ads they display on their apps do not contain offensive images/animations and need to take responsibility. Very disappointing to need to delete another great app to protect my health because of these disturbing ads.

While I understand the developers need for financial return on HiddenObjects development and maintenance cost the strategy they’ve chosen is kind of insane. Peppering new users with ads every 30s before they’ve even been able to decide whether they like the game is a recipe for poor customer retention. A better approach would be the frog in the boiling pot approach. Start the ads at a lower frequency for at least the first level to allow users to develop an attachment to the game before forcing them into a decision to pay for an app that is priced double its competition. I don’t have so much of an issue with the price if the game is engaging, but I’m not going to pay that before I’ve even been able to decide if I like the game. Decreasing ad frequency in the first level might help improve your paid subscriber count. For me, the strategy you’ve chosen is reason for an immediate delete and I’ve paid for other apps of this same type.

Updating to add that like I figured, I received a generic response that didn’t even make sense to what I posted. This company is lying and saying they are a start up, but they’ve been around since 2014! There is literally no justification for the high cost other than greed. With all of the people reviewing and saying the same thing, you’d think you would make efforts to change it. ——————- I see them commenting about needing so many ads because of the high cost of running HiddenObjects , but that’s still not a smart business move. More people would stick around longer with less ads, but this way people are finding out how annoying it is and deleting HiddenObjects . You’d have more players long term with less ads. Also $10 for no ads is absurd. Maybe $5, but $10? There are similar games with cheaper no ad options. It doesn’t seem like these developers are trying to be competitive with other games, just seems like they are greedy.

Addition: frustrated that the game places the "hint" button exactly where I put my finger to scroll vertically. I have blown through all 3 free hints in about 20 minutes by clicking accidentally.

I do think this is the best game of its type. After a minute of play I thought I would finish up the first level then buy the game since it was a lot of fun and the graphics are interesting. Then the tsunami of ads hit and I'm not willing to continue or buy the game if I can't even complete the first level. It's impossible to get into an enjoyable rhythm when so many long ads are shown in the first level. This is an odd approach by the developer. Ads are fine and everyone understands why they are used. But to ruin the experience right out of the gate is not good marketing. You have to give people a chance to love your game first.

Updated: The developer quickly responded to point out a remove ads option, but it was still more than double what I would be willing to pay. Bumping my rating from 1 to 3 stars.

A very fun hidden object game, but ads pop up constantly. I went to pay to have them removed. I figured it was worth 3 or 4 dollars for the game. Then I discovered it was a 5 dollar a WEEK subscription? Insane. No game is worth over $200 a year to play.

Really enjoyed the game overall. Till I reached the cruise vacation level. With one item left that I could not find I have watched six ads now to win a free magnifying glass to help me find the one last item. Every time the magnifying glass disappears and does not show me the last item. I’m convinced that there was a malfunction and I did complete the level/ find all the items and this one was not counted. With no way to restart the level I will never be able to complete it or move on in the game without completing restarting my progress and uninstalling.

The game itself is great, however I can’t go a full minute without seeing an Ad. I get that it’s to make HiddenObjects free, but there has to be a different algorithm to these advertisements; they’re stress inducing because I can’t enjoy the game and I’m so close to deleting HiddenObjects. I spend more time watching Ads then I do playing the game. The developers also copy and paste they’re responses to these reviews; I don’t think they fully read them.

I would’ve given this 5 stars but because you play an ad literally every 30 seconds, I just couldn’t. The game itself is wonderful. While I understand the need for ads, every 30 seconds is a little extreme. I finally just stopped playing simply because I couldn’t do the ads. I came to the conclusion when I’m seeing more ads than I’m playing your game, it’s just time to stop. Thank you for the wonderful game but I’m done playing because of the ridiculous amount of ads.

Having tried a few different seek and find games, this is my favorite out of the top 5-7. This one has good sized maps and objects to find, I like the art well enough and the objects to find stick out enough without clashing too much either, so it’s exactly the right difficult level, and there are plenty of levels to play through in a few different modes.

These are the small changes I’d like to see:
- I like this game enough that I paid to remove ads. Sometimes I do want to use a magnifying glass or other tool and I will not be spending any real money on them, but I am willing to watch an ad for those rewards from time to time. The problem is that about 25% of the time, the ad does not properly give the reward, and I promise I am not closing the ad early. I hate ads, so this particular bug is extra irritating. Either fix that, or make the rewards/tools cheaper.
- I hate the magician’s chest and the way I am yanked out of the seek and find whenever I’ve found enough items. Please change that. I’ll go check on the magician’s chest on MY time when I decide, thanks.

I’ve been on a hidden objects game kick for a bit now and I was so excited when I started playing this one. It was great… until it wasn’t.

I totally understand the need to run ads to keep things free, and I usually don’t mind because most apps run them between turns/after completing a level. It’s natural to place an ad in those places. But LONG ads right in the middle of game play, probably every minute or two, is just NOT it. Far too frequent. Like I said, the concept of ads: totally understandable. The sheer amount of ads in HiddenObjects: totally unnecessary and annoying. Do yourself a favor and don’t get addicted to it just to be disappointed like me.

***EDIT - the new update that pops open the treasure chest with every item you find is HORRIBLE! I’ve accidentally clicked on it numerous times bc I’m not used to it popping out and then the game freezes. So frustrating!! I’m over the game until that’s gone. I’ll keep an eye out but I’m gonna stop my subscription until then *****

I really love this game. I’m playing it way more than I should lol. They have been adding new maps often and they are getting more & more creative with each one. It would be nice to have the objects move on each map after you complete a level. For me - after the second level I start losing interest on that certain map bc I basically remember where everything is hidden. I am paying the monthly fee & I’m debating if I should continue - if the objects re-shuffled every level - game changer!

I’m a HUGE fan of this game. And what I really loved about it was I was able to play on my iPad or phone when I was not connected to the internet (like on a plane ride as I travel quite a bit). I just noticed that feature is no longer available. Is there a way to have an offline feature to still be able to play when not connected to the internet?

It’s super fun and funny looking at the people doing the most. The finding isn’t overwhelming or super hard on your first attempt. But what was overwhelming was the ads, I felt soooo rushed and would lose my concentration once the ads started and when they finish. It was just constant anxiety for me to find the item before the ads come up.
You can pay for the ads to go away but still there are too many ads to begin with.

I used to love to open HiddenObjects in the morning and jumpstart my brain with the daily challenge. I’m not sure why you changed it to 5 levels and didn’t add more time before you lose stars. Just that extra bit takes away the fun challenge and instead annoys me because I can never make it. Otherwise it’s a fun game and helps me when I’m having trouble focusing, I guess it kind of resets my brain.

The Theme Park chapter seems to not show 3 items and I’ve gone over each vignette 3 times, zoomed all the way in. It’s not showing the last Archery Target, Headband, or Paper Airplane. I’ve played your go watch an ad game several times in other chapters and refuse to do it with this chapter. So where are the 3 items? Hmmm. I’ve tried letting HiddenObjects load with my browser open and while in airplane mode. And I just updated HiddenObjects before writing this.

Please tell us this is a bug, not a watch ads ploy. If it’s the latter, I’m done with your game.

When you are near done to finding all of the objects...STOP. Actually stop and LOOK closely at EVERYTHING! There are old and new culture icons. There are old and new references to movies, actors, comics, news stories, musicians, etc. . . The little character interactions are a hoot! ( I think in every game there is a character falling, characters kissing, Dogs and Cats playing, a character picking, characters fighting, . . . and the list goes on! ) I believe they are affiliated (some how) with Disney. . . Otherwise they would be out of business for copyright infringement. If I don't feel like playing, I at least s l o w l y puruse each scene. HUMOR IS IN ABUNDANCE!! Creativity and personalization abounds! [ I am a dog lover . . . Some of the dog and human interactions are truly touching. ] And lastly, Who is the Johnny Depp lover in the artist's circle?. . . I think JD is in every big scene!! Thank you for helping my brain recover from life!!

I like that it’s not timed because you can take a moment to appreciate the creativity of a scene rather than rush through it. The items are a little tricky to find which makes playing the same scene more interesting because it’s so big. The scenes are very clever which I really enjoy. I also play the Scavenger Hunt by Popcore. This one is very similar but it’s not quite as difficult which I like because there’s a better chance of finishing a scene without using too many boosters. It’s also appropriate for adults; it will very easily hold an adult’s interest for hours. This is is one of my favorite hidden object games and I look forward to more colorful and interesting scenes.

I downloaded your game about a week ago and I love it, but (there’s always a but isn’t it?) the ads are a bit much. I understand that you need the money the ads bring to you, but your going to wind up with a bit of money but you’ll no longer have anyone to play your game! I timed the seconds were between ads and it was a few seconds before a whole minute. That’s not being fair to your users. I’m sure there are a lot of people that will uninstall your game out of frustration. You just get into the game and are really concentrating when here comes another ad! I guess some people like the money but not care about your customers frustration at the constant ads.
As much as I really like your game, I’m uninstalling.
Sincerely
An unhappy customer

I don’t care for most hidden object games because the scenes are static. I came across Find Out and not only are the scenes moving, they are full of Easter eggs!! Just accept that you will never score a speed round because you will get caught up in looking at all the characters. From an “Ursula” lurking in the underwater scene to the everything you could imagine dragon scene, it’s the hidden gems that make this game so special. I am not one to spend any money on games. I just refuse (yeah, I know) but I hated how the ads interrupted my exploration of the scenes. So I actually paid to have the ads removed. It’s been worth every cent. I can just explore and play. It was a nice treat for myself.
Give it a try and if you love the ads version, just go for it. It’s worth it. (Sincerely, a cheap small gamer mom)

I downloaded HiddenObjects because I enjoy this type of game, object searches and so on, but the ad slated this game as one ‘without annoying ads’ which is very far off the truth. I got through one map before the ads popping up every 30 seconds or so drove me insane.

However, the option to purchase ad free for $10 exists and is so worth it! The maps are delightful, full of little nods to pop culture and so much imagination. Attempting to enjoy HiddenObjects with the ads as they are was impossible, but I’m glad I purchased the full version:)

I absolutely love this game it’s the only thing I play now!!

An improvement to me would be if you guys added the radar, that pops up when almost all the objects are found for the price of watching an ad’, to the store that is in HiddenObjects and have the ability to buy the radar with coins just like the magnifier. I personally prefer the radar that helps give you the answer because it still makes you look for it which is more stimulating to me than just getting the straight answer (a little boring to me). Just a suggestion, I will continue to love and play this game anyway.

This was an almost immediate purchase for me, so I don’t know how intrusive ads may be, but for seven bucks I’m delighted with this exquisite, witty (really!), loaded-with-extras app. Only possible drawback for other players may be that the level of difficulty is relatively modest compared to similar games, but I play for relaxation (and cuteness), and don’t like having to e.g. click every single thing that might have an object inside or behind it.

I haven’t tried all of the extra challenges but they’re clearly more than tacked-on “bonus” content that doesn’t reach the thoughtfulness of the main gameplay.

Currently two hours past my intended sleep time. Thank you so much devs! (really)

I’ve downloaded a fair share of this type of game app over the years and this one is my favorite. I play them to relax and unwind and for me the ones in HiddenObjects have just the right amount of challenge - not so easy that it’s over too quickly, but not so difficult that I get frustrated. I did pay for the ad free version and I have chosen to watch ads when it’s offered to get extra coins or hints. It’s not been a big deal for me since I use it multiple times a day. They come out with new scenes pretty often, which is nice. The most recent one, “Autumn Forest”, is my favorite so far, absolutely adorable and beautiful graphics. Hopefully they’ll continue coming out with new scenes for awhile to come.

This is the best scavenger hunt game on the market. Do yourself a favor and pay the one time few bucks to remove the ads. The maps are a genuine delight to explore, with cute pop culture references all over. Sometimes I get to the end of a list of objects to find and I think “no way. no way it’s actually here. I have looked at every inch.” but it’s there. Frustrating and very satisfying when you find that last item. 10/10, can’t wait for more maps.

So I really love scavenger hunt games so I had downloaded scavenger hunt and then I updated it and my progress was gone so I deleted HiddenObjects and looked for a new one and let me say this was my very first option and I downloaded this game and this is so much better than scavenger hunt. The ads aren’t as insane as scavenger hunts, the things are better hidden and way better maps this is the best scavenger hunt game ever. I’m glad that this game actually has less ads.

I absolutely love this game. There are so many areas to play and it is one of the most clever games out there in terms of scenes. The closer you dig, the funnier the little scenes are. It’s brilliant all the things they have added for each theme from cartoons, movies, characters. Couldn’t recommend this more

I downloaded this thinking it would be like every other “hidden objects” game, but it is way more than that. This is clearly a team who cares about the user experience, and actually updates their app frequently!!

I paid for the “ad free” experience, and I would urge everyone to do that as well. I’d gladly pay for this type of experience, letting the devs get enough capital to create new maps (which is about once every two weeks or so, so you never get bored!)

Long review short - buy the ad free portion, and enjoy a very well put together app with tons of updates and a great UI experience!

Edit*

To the people complaining about ads, you realize this is a company and developers need to get paid right? You are playing a free game.

Also, ads can be skipped after 15 seconds, some you can skip after 5 seconds. This is a small annoyance to enjoy a high quality game that gets new maps added so frequently.

My wife, who rarely plays any games, loves this game and steals my phone to play it It’s a simple find hidden objects game. Some objects are in plain sight, others you have to really look for. But the best part of the game are the different maps and little Easter eggs you find in each map. You see references to all sorts of things, as well as see the people in the maps do silly and funny things. It’s like a game within a game. For example, you can find Star Wars references in the space map, as well as marvel references. In terms of gameplay, it’s straightforward but also very difficult. Each map has about 175 items (maybe some have more?) but the map is huge. The early parts of the game are easy, you can spot most objects pretty easily, and you don’t even need to look at the objects on the bottom. However, when you get to the last 10-20, you really have to start looking, and the real fun (and challenge) begins. Anyway my wife and I love HiddenObjects. Thanks for making such a wonderful game!

With over FIFTY incredible maps to date, each with around 175 objects to find, and new maps being added every few weeks…

Seriously. This is so much game play that it boggles my mind to see people objecting to paying $10 for ad removal. It’s beyond worth it.

It has such relaxing music and I love all the different features and little games it has. I don’t understand the collection cards so if someone can explain that to me that would be great. I’m not sure if they do anything for you but you collect them through the events. Daily games. I did get the ad free because I hated being interrupted while playing. I also wish the chest were available after you were done so you can open them because the interruption during playing is sort of annoying especially if you just collect 12 coins without watching the ads.
