1Hidden Folks - Search for hidden folks in hand-drawn, interactive, miniature landscapes. Unfurl tent flaps, cut through bushes, slam doors, and poke some crocodiles! Rooooaaaarrrr!!!!!
Feb 15, 2017
In this game, you can…
- set up an environmental chain—shoo pigeons, open doors, flip switches, move clouds, cut bushes—and reveal the real target somewhere else.

- unfurl tent flaps, cut bushes, slam doors, and poke crocodiles to make hidden things appear.
- trigger an animation chain before some characters can even be clicked as "found."
- zoom out from a small scene until it opens into a sprawling map with entirely new areas to search.
- follow riddle-like clues that point you toward a bigger, obvious tell, like a pig sniffing out the mushroom you're hunting.
- click a cactus over and over to hear endless new variations of someone saying "ow."
- use sound as a clue by hearing someone cry out and tracking the noise before you even spot them.
