About Hidden Objects: Island Secrets
Developed by DRA, Hidden Objects: Island Secrets is an engaging, cozy puzzle game that takes you on a time-bending scavenger hunt. The journey starts aboard a majestic three-masted ship, leading to an enigmatic island. When a powerful magical crystal shatters reality, countless everyday items and ancient artifacts are scattered across different historical eras of the same island. As an explorer, your task is to navigate these temporal paradoxes, study the changing landscapes, and recover the lost objects.
Core Features
- Time-Traveling Exploration: Explore the same island across different ages, from forgotten ancient ruins to mysterious civilizations.
- Multiple Gameplay Modes: Challenge your observation skills with different list styles, including text names, silhouettes, and direct picture clues.
- Over 20 Items per Level: Each scene is a highly detailed, beautifully illustrated 2D puzzle containing about 20 hidden items of various sizes and orientations.
- Interactive Panoramic Scenes: Freely scroll left and right across wide locations and zoom in to spot cleverly concealed objects.
- Helpful Investigative Tools: Use a magnifying glass, darts to reveal multiple items, or a hint compass when you are stuck.
Gameplay Mechanics
In each level, you are presented with a detailed, chaotic landscape representing a specific historical era. At the bottom of the screen, you will find a list of items to search for. Move across the wide scene by swiping or clicking and dragging, and use the zoom tool to inspect dark corners and small details. Simply tap or click an object when you spot it. The orientation, scale, and lighting of the objects can vary, meaning you need to keep a sharp eye out. Find all the items on the list to complete the level and progress through the temporal timeline.
Pro Tips
- Use the Pinch-to-Zoom: Many critical artifacts are scaled down or blended into background textures; zooming in is essential for a thorough sweep.
- Save Your Darts: Save powerful tools like darts (which highlight multiple items at once) for high-difficulty levels when you are down to the last few well-hidden objects.
- Identify Silhouettes Early: In silhouette mode, focus on the general shapes and contours of the items first rather than searching for specific colors, as lighting conditions can distort their appearance.
