Game information

Hidden Worlds is a hidden-object game built around eight detailed illustrations. Explore unusual places, compare the object samples with the scene and find the matching details inside the artwork. Each location has four chapters with 16 targets apiece, giving you 32 chapters to explore across the whole journey.

How to play Hidden Worlds

Open the location album, select an available chapter and choose Explore. The journey unlocks in order, starting with the first chapter. If you already have an unfinished search, Continue searching returns you to that chapter with your discoveries preserved.

The strip along the bottom contains picture samples and object names. Select a sample, study its shape and look for the same detail in the large illustration. Click or tap the object in the scene itself. A green mark confirms a successful find and the counter moves forward. Selecting a sample keeps that particular target highlighted in the strip while you inspect the artwork.

Move around the picture and zoom in whenever a detail is difficult to distinguish. Reset view returns to the starting scale so you can check the composition again. Find all 16 objects to finish the chapter. The result screen then offers the next chapter, letting you continue through the location.

Eight locations, four searches in each

The route begins at the Botanical Tram Depot and continues through Floating Bookshops, the Cloud Observatory and the Clockwork Toy Workshop. Later locations include the Museum of Inventions, Lantern Festival, Coral Aquarium Palace and Snowy Mountain Lodge. Animals, tools, tableware, toys and unusual ornaments become part of each search.

Every location contains 64 distinct target objects. Its four chapters use four separate sets of 16, so returning to the same illustration means looking for a different collection. Discoveries are marked for the current chapter. In the album, the overall counter shows your completed chapters out of 32, while the location cards indicate progress through their four searches.

Zooming and using a hint

Look for broad shapes before checking smaller details. Once you identify a likely area, zoom in and compare the object’s colour, orientation and surroundings. The samples are cropped from the actual illustration, so a shelf, fabric pattern or neighbouring decoration can be a useful landmark.

A hint moves the view towards one remaining target and highlights its area. You still need to find and select the object yourself. Another hint becomes available after 20 seconds, with the wait displayed beside the button. The chapter result records your elapsed time and the number of hints used, letting you review how the search went.

Exploring together and keeping progress

The top menu provides account access and invitations for friends. Up to eight participants can explore one shared scene, see each other’s pointers and contribute discoveries to the same picture. Dividing the illustration into areas is a practical way to search together. Helping in a friend’s room keeps your own campaign separate from that shared search.

Registered players save their personal results and unfinished chapter to their account. Guest progress stays on the device. Check the save-status message before leaving the game. You can also pause a search and return to the picture when you are ready to continue.

Tips

  • Inspect one section of the illustration at a time so you can remember which areas you have already checked.
  • Start with distinctive silhouettes, then return to smaller objects and similar-looking details.
  • Examine the edges after zooming in. Important targets can be far from the visual centre.
  • Use the background of an object sample as well as the object itself: nearby patterns often narrow down the search.
  • When playing with friends, cover different parts of the scene instead of following every pointer.
