    I m very very surprise that you didnt even mention Hidden Folks. Thats one of the most beautiful piece of artwork i had ever come across. Yeah it may not have all those fanciful colors and realistic scenes like all the one you mention above, but it excel in its 2D black n white drawings. And the themes are related to our daily life. So artistic yet so meaningful. Well, may be you guys dont enjoy such things, but to me who indulge in drawings, thats the only sensible game.

    Hi! Thanks for the list! I’ve been searching for something like this for quite a while!

    However, I don’t see one of my favorites in here. It’s called Coastal Hill: Mystery — Hidden Objects.

    Have you heard of it? Unlike other games it has main hero customization and actual fighting with monsters. I believe it’ll be a suitable addition to the list.

      Hey Pranob,
      It was interesting! Thank you.. loved the way you presented all. I would like to add another game to this genre. DARKARTA- A Broken Heart’s Quest. It is one of the best classic hiddennobject game. The game fuses classic hidden object scenes, brainstorming puzzles and exciting mini games with mind blowing graphics. Available as free early acces in play store.

  • BAN says:

    I have Secret Society and although it is free to download, there are constant reminders to buy things. You run out of ‘energy’ which you can wait to replenish or purchase so you are constantly frustrated waiting to play again. You cannot just purchase the game and play like other games. You are also timed with every scene.
    The scenes are fantastic and would be a best game if it were not for these constant barriers to play. I was going to download others from G5 but they all seem to follow this format of buying things, timed play, and waiting, waiting.
