Hidden Object Games

Some fun quotes about them:

"Once upon a time, otherwise-good adventure games were criticized for "pixel hunts". This sounds like some kind of nightmarish version of that."


"OK, so it's the computer equivalent of Highlights magazine's Hidden Pictures. Strung together, in this case, using a thin plot and with some rather bad writing. Color me somewhat surprised that adults are interested in playing such games."


"Yes, the hidden object genre is basically Where's Wally? (Where's Waldo?) but for miscellaneous objects, or a point-and-click scavenger hunt. That's basically the meat of the whole genre. "
