The Hidden Object Show represents a refreshing and enjoyable take on the hidden object game. Find hidden objects and compete for prizes as you make your way closer and closer to the grand prize of $5,000,000!

Get ready with your hand on the buzzer as our gameshow host - who looks kinda like a young (and slightly undead-looking) Alex Trebek - offers you fantastic prizes and lets you spin the wheel as you progress further into the competition.

The game starts off like any hidden object game, with you having to search for hidden objects in a cluttered scene. But in this case, you get to do the searching in the environment of a 70's gameshow, with a talkative host and an audience cheering you on.

Every few levels, you get to unlock new beautiful scenes and locations in which to search for more objects. Along the way, you'll also be able to win great prizes such as a toaster, and cold hard cash!

As you progress further, you'll also be able to unlock new styles of gameplay. This is where The Hidden Object Show is refreshing. You get to play variations on the hidden object game, such as spot the differences, looking for objects that are hinted at with riddles, and a hidden-object / jigsaw puzzle hybrid as well. There are altogether a huge 10 different styles of gameplay, which get unlocked the further you progress in the game.

What also makes it interesting is the randomness in which you get to play the different games. In a nod to the Wheel of Fortune gameshow, the style of game that you get to compete in is decided by spinning a wheel (Come on, big money!). You can also earn Skip Chips to skip a certain minigame if you really hate playing that style.

If you're new to the hidden object game genre, or just sick of the other more boring styles of play, try playing The Hidden Object Show. The humour and entertainment value in this game is tremendous! And that doesn't include the fact that you can win a coffee machine too!

So come on down, spin the wheel, and search your way to the grand prize of $5,000,000!

... is that your final answer?

And once you've won the game, get ready for Season 2!

Rating: 3.5/5.0
