Sophia is traveling around the world with her dog, her dog's lovely bone, and her parrot, and you need to find them and other objects or living beings that are within the area. Beware, though. The area is very vast. Oftentimes, a level will contain more than one island at once, where many points of interest are …

Super cute game! If you're only looking at the screen to find things you're probably going to have a hard time because maps can be very big. HOWEVER if you zoom in and look at the scenes and enjoy how it's set up, you'll be able to find things without too much difficulty. This shouldn't be a game you rush through or you'll definitely be frustrated. The sounds are cute and it has such a cute artistic style!

Cute

I fully beat this game, to preface This game is hot garbage imo, art quality is poor, sounds are so annoying I had to mute the game. The entire idea of the "wheres waldo" gp is flawed because they have you look for a grocery list of people, objects, etc. Instead of actually playing the game, I unironically got more enjoyment from looking up a guide and looking at a suggested location instead. (brought the actual appeal of the wheres waldo thing bc you were only looking for one thing in a reasonable area) don't waste any money on this game. Even if it was free I still wouldn't recommend

the game is too big and only gets bigger, this would not normally be a problem but the hint system is not always helpful. it will be like the father is a super dad, he has 3 kids. the sprite will show a dad with three kids but then you have to look around a full complete map to find a random guy with three kids. the hints don't narrow down where to actually go unless its a small map. with each big level it adds on to the original map. it then will add things in all the sections. also the sounds were annoying when you found an item. i turned it off and was still hit with "BINGO" every time you found something. over all there are better games out there and i would recommend giving this one a pass.

Pros - Beautiful drawings. - Variety of characters. - There is an option to mute the "Yay" sound if you feel annoyed with every celebration for what you found. Cons - Some of the hints are not really useful. For example, Mike is a dog. The hint to find the bone is "This is Mike's favourite thing." I think small objects such as bones or cupcakes should have a specific hint compared to looking for a human being due to the differences in size. - Lack of balance. No matter if the level has a small or big map area, I still need to wait for 6 minutes to get the magnifier tool to find the hidden object. I think 6 minutes for a large map is a bit harsh. Now I understand the reason for some of the negative reviews about the magnifier feature. Although I rarely use the magnifier feature, I have to spend more time in the larger map to look for the hidden objects and think twice before using the magnifier. Despite feeling slightly annoyed to look for objects in a large area, I still quite enjoyed the game. I really love the drawings and the characters. I think the only problem is the execution of the idea. I think it would be better if the timer for the magnifier tool in the large map were…
