About this game

Hidden City is a hidden object detective adventure for players who enjoy cosy mystery games, seek-and-find puzzles, story-led quests and richly detailed scenes. Explore a mystical Victorian city, search for hidden objects, follow clues, gather evidence, solve puzzles, meet unique characters and uncover magical secrets in the City of Shadows.

A new case is waiting in a city where every room, street, note and artefact can reveal part of the story. Follow the clues through elegant locations, investigate magical events and enjoy a mystery adventure built around atmosphere, discovery and character-driven quests.

🕵️‍♂️ What clues will you uncover?

Search atmospheric scenes filled with hidden items, evidence, notes, artefacts, keys, symbols, curiosities and visual clues. Every location supports the investigation and rewards players who enjoy looking carefully through detailed environments.

Explore foggy streets, elegant halls, manor-like rooms, curious shops, gardens, arcades, laboratories and magical districts. The city feels mysterious and inviting, giving each object search a clear story purpose.

🔎 Search modes for every detective

Hidden City keeps the main investigation fresh with several ways to search:

✔️ Words mode: Classic hidden object searching using text lists.
✔️ Silhouettes mode: Shape-based hidden picture challenges.
✔️ Night mode: Focused clue hunting in dim locations using a spotlight.
✔️ Pairs mode: Matching identical or logically related objects to test your attention.

These modes make the game a strong fit for players who enjoy seek-and-find adventures, detective puzzles, hidden picture challenges and visual mystery games.

🧩 Puzzles, mini-games and mystery challenges

The core search experience is supported by puzzle modes that add variety and help move the wider mystery forward.
Take a break from the main investigation and play through:

👁️ Spot-the-difference: Compare two scenes using sharp observation.
💎 Match-3 levels: Crystal and gem matching for colourful puzzle breaks.
🧠 Brain teasers: Logic mini-games, memory challenges and story-driven riddles.

This makes Hidden City a natural choice for players who want a cosy detective game with story, clever mini-games and mystery puzzles woven into the investigation.

📜 Story-led quests and artefact collections

Follow narrative-driven quests, character stories, special cases and event investigations as the City of Shadows slowly reveals its secrets. Assemble artefact collections, solve anomalies, complete requests and unlock rewards that help you continue your detective journey.

Every quest connects detailed scenes, mystery puzzles, magical discoveries and story progression into one cohesive adventure.

✨ Play Hidden City your way

📶 Play offline: Continue your investigation anywhere, even without an internet connection.
📖 Follow the story: Return to character quests, detective cases and magical events as the mystery unfolds.
🔄 Regular updates: Discover new cases, quests, search scenes and special events added over time.
📱 Cross-device sync: Save your progress and switch between your devices.

☕ A cosy mystery tone

Hidden City is mysterious and captivating, but the experience is built around elegant detective intrigue, magical secrets and inviting atmospheres rather than scares or dark thriller themes.
Spot the difference, solve challenging puzzles and unravel the mystery!

Downloaded just to pass time occasionally. Absolutely love the various tasks/events you get to complete and that there's so many things to do. Graphics are amazing, definitely visually pleasing. However, to complete all achievements, you do need to make purchases, which is annoying. But pretty much the only downfall I have found so far. Over all a pretty great game considering it's free.

Hi, Jade! To accelerate your progress without making in-game purchases, try asking friends for useful items by adding them to your wishlist. And don't forget to use boosters!

I used to enjoy this game a great deal, so much so that I actually spent money to get extra energy and tools to extend my playing time. However, of late, several of the tasks have been more than usually skewed so you really have to purchase tokens (when a necessary item is only available under "icy conditions", and icy conditions doesn't appear in three days' worth of play, whereas it was previously quite a common mode, you know the developers want you to buy the booster)

I am really enjoying "Hidden City Objects..." It is full of amazing articles. The graphics are fantastic. I generally love the interaction. There is overall so much variation you can't help but be drawn to this game. It's so absorbing and a fantastic way to pass the time. Especially in these uncertain times, globally. With this awful 'Coronavirus'. Definitely, a great distraction. So I would definitely recommend giving this game a 'twirl' you won't be disappointed ☺️
