A hidden object game, also called hidden picture or hidden object puzzle adventure (HOPA), is a puzzle video game genre in which the player must find items from a list that are hidden within a scene. Hidden object games are a popular trend in casual gaming.[1][2] Time-limited trial versions of these games are usually available for download, although many are free to download on app stores. Popular themes include detective crime stories, adventure, gothic romance and mystery.[3]In a hidden object game, the player wanders from one place to another to discover objects that allow the player to finish the game. The player adds objects to their inventory. A hidden object puzzle within the game provides more objects or clues that will assist the playing in completing the game.[4]
Hidden objects generally tend to feature:[4]
Courageous, adventurous female protagonists
Characters who need to be rescued from something and have relations to the main protagonist
Fantasy themes with supernatural elements and themes of romantic horror
Visuals of hand-painted 2D art that can be playable even on weak personal computers
