Found: A Hidden Object Adventure
Found: A Hidden Object Adventure is a free-to-play hidden object game (HOG) by Big Fish Games that you can play straight on your browser. The game is multidimensional, much like Mystery Manor or any of the other "hardcore" HOGs, as it offers missions where you banish creatures or barter with the locals for some extra energy in addition to the usual hidden object scenes. The story may be a bit cliche - you crash landed on a mysterious tropical island while travelling via plane - but things quickly took an intriguing turn once pirates, magic and a generous dose of mystery are added into the mix. There are, surprisingly, many interesting characters to meet as well - you would have thought the island would be deserted!Despite its old-school looks, Found: A Hidden Object Adventure is quite a find for any fan of the hidden object genre. If you're interested, be sure to give it a try!
