Hidden Objects: Island Secrets

An island out of time

The story begins with a magical crystal. When it was activated, objects were scattered across time, and it is up to you to track them down. The journey takes you around one island, which you see in different ages, as you hunt for important items and relics among the ruins of the past. You are not alone, either. A faithful guide offers hints to help you find your way through the changing eras.

Searching a scene

Each location works as a puzzle of its own. You work from a list of objects, and the aim is to find all of them. The scene can be explored, too: you can travel sideways across a location and zoom in on the smallest details. It helps to search in a pattern, one part of the scene at a time, and to check the list again each time you find something.

A game for unwinding

The game says it is made for leisure, with a relaxing mood and calm music. That suits the genre well, since hidden object games reward a patient eye far more than a hurried glance. When an item really will not show itself, a hint is there to keep you moving. The game says it works on computers and phones alike.

Tips

• Read the whole list before you start searching.
• Zoom in on crowded areas, where small items are easiest to miss.
• Explore each location from one side to the other so nothing goes unchecked.
• Save hints for the items you truly cannot find.
