Search & Find - Hidden Objects

[h1]I WAS SOOOO BORED[/h1] I love searching games like Hidden Cats in Town and the Find All series, so I bought this game as soon as it was released. It looked bright and colorful and claimed to be geared toward animal lovers.   Those colorful graphics that caught my eye quickly lost their curb appeal because there were only a few different scenes that were repetitively used by cropping different sections of the same overall scene.    You are tasked with finding 3-5 clipart objects, such as 5 Trumpets, 3 Unicorns, 3 Bulldogs, or 5 Blue Balloons. Some of the levels are covered with nothing but childish stickers like Unicorns and Rainbows.     As you find an object, you have to sit there and watch a giant hand circle the item with a giant piece of chalk before continuing your search while listening to canned laughter & clapping. You are rewarded with new Crayons, Markers, and Chalk to circle these objects on the next level...oh goodie!   I'm not sure who the targeted audience is here. Some of the scenes are crammed full of older adults at a concert or dog park, certainly not appealing to a younger audience. The next scene may be a collage of clipart dogs and bones or the before-menti…

I've played a large number of hidden object games (150+) and overall this one felt fairly average. Sometimes the objects were a little on the easy side, but others blended in quite well with the background and took a bit of hunting. A number of the scenes were repeated for a second level, but spaced out far enough it didn't really matter. The art style seemed to vary a lot between levels making it feel a bit disjointedness at times. And there was an annoying trumpet sound which would play at the end of each section despite the fact sound was disabled via the menu. It's certainly not the best hidden object game out there, and perhaps felt a bit overpriced. But if you are a fan of the genre and want to add it to your collection, it's perfectly fine.
