In this magical, mysterious hidden world there are many images to be unlocked and found. Pure Hidden is a visually pleasing hidden object/seek and find Mac game. It will give you hours of play with their graphically interesting pictures and scenes.

Pure Hidden’s hidden object scenes are a little different from the usual room full of household items and mystery to be solved. It’s more like a Pure Hiddenmodern day advertising billboard with objects discreetly spread out on the picture. Old time comic strips and superheroes will be on the scene to disguise the listed items. The layering of black and white objects with color forms also helps to distract your eyes from locating certain things.

If you have trouble finding your objects, click on the pink star to your left and then click on the listed word and a pink circle will help you discover your item. After using the star, you must wait until the star fills up again. The scenes are sometimes difficult to uncover the objects, but it is a fun challenge. There are many different kinds of scenes to search for hidden objects.

Pure Hidden3The Game Tree will lead you to the different scenes and mini games. One such game is to discover 10 items that do not belong and another is to find 33 butterflies in a beautiful garden. An action puzzle is to get the sheep over the fence (the trick is to wait until the Pure Hidden2question mark appears before clicking on the sheep). Another puzzle is to connect the pipes for the eggs to continuously pass through.

The draw to Pure Hidden is the beautiful, original graphics, the hidden object play and the many interesting and fun mini games. Enjoy this game for its variety of puzzles and stunning illustrations.

Conjurer 10
download The Conjurerdownload The Conjurer

Nothing is as it seems in Mac hidden object game The Conjurer. The great Conjurer, the greatest magician in the world, has suffered 3 serious accidents during his magic acts. Why? This amazing performer will be retiring and has invited several worthy magicians to his spacious medieval castle to demonstrate their greatest skill, cunning and artistry. The Conjurer is willing to give the winner of this competition access to the Hall of Secrets. With this knowledge, they too will become the world’s greatest magician.

You find in the course of the play that the great Conjurer is suspicious of all his invited guests. For each visiting magician there are several locations you must search for clues and objects. The hidden object play is similar to other games, but there is one exception. There is a Conjurer 8stage to search and find different items, then you must set up the magician’s props and finally the magician will perform their magic act. This is an interesting and different part of the usual hidden object plays. Other locations may be the bedroom, bathroom or any other room they may have entered in the castle. If you cannot find the object listed, you can click on the crystal ball for assistance. There are unlimited hints through the use of the ball, but you may have to wait a few moments after you click on it. For each magician there is 1 super hint to use where it will give you the exact location of an object.

The tale of the Conjurer is complex with the involvement of Adelaide a love interest for more than 1 magician. In addition, the “accidents” Conjurer 4may have been planned to injure and get rid of the master. He also keeps a journal written in invisible ink to help you in your search for clues. Are the intentions of the Conjurer as it seems or does he have other motives?

This game is intense with a Victorian feel with appropriate outfits and items throughout the castle. Not only did I like the hidden object play, I also enjoyed the incredible magic acts of each magician.

Features of The Conjurer:
-Victorian Era
-Amazing Magic
-Ten Master Illusionists
-Nothing is as it seems

The Clockwork Man 9

By the 19th century steam power was well underway and may have been the stimulus for the Industrial Revolution. This is the setting for Mac hidden object game The Clockwork Man. The story begins with Miranda Calomy, a very talented engineering student, who is enlistedThe Clockwork Man by her grandfather to deliver needed parts for a special invention. Miranda boards the first available airship to New Coventry, SA with the supplies for her grandfather The Clockwork Man 7Cornelius.

The scrolling and zooming hidden object play begins in Miranda’s home searching for the letter from her grandfather. You need to click on the items listed including the lost letter. Poor Miranda is great with mechanical works, but she is not a tidy housekeeper. The cursor will The Clockwork Man 3change to a hand when you go over an item that needs further investigation. You will need to find a crowbar in order to open a drawer. Also zoom to the loft to find more objects. Once on the airship there is a problem and Miranda needs to assist the mechanic. The hidden object play here will scroll to the right and left of the screen. Any help you need comes from Sprocket, a mechanical robot, whose talents keep increasing as you progress in the game.

In addition to the hundreds of objects you must find, there are crystals you need to click on when spotted. Also there are side puzzles likeThe Clockwork Man 10 deciphering the code for a locked box and more.

The Clockwork Man is a hidden object game with a story that at times is drawn out and extensive, but if that’s your thing, this play will entertain you. The artwork is detailed and quite good, but the music, although appropriate for the time period, is dreary and not conducive to a relaxed play. I don’t really get into the scroll and zoom plays so I give this game a 3 out of 5 for its good hidden object scenes.

Features of The Clockwork Man:
-Scroll and Zoom Gameplay
-Storyline
-Steam Power and Strange Science

Another spin on the hidden object Mac game is the Hidden Object Show. It is in a form of a TV game show complete with $5,000,000! In this game you are a contestant in a TV game show. You need to find the hidden object in a scene to complete the round. There are hint chips throughout the screen to find and then use if needed. The round after completion is tallied for Time Bonus, Combo Bonus, Bonus Cash and overall time. The Prize Standings show you where you are in your winnings.

Between rounds you get to spin the Wheel of Puzzles. Where it lands you play that game. Some of the puzzles are locked until you reach a certain level. Some of the puzzles are the 2 scenes with 10 differences, solve the riddle and find that object, find the silhouette and place pieces of a picture on the complete scene. If you are lucky enough to get a bonus, you can opt out of some of the games.

The Hidden Object Show has a lot more than an I Spy play. It has plenty of options you can find to engage in. I think that makes it more interesting of a Mac game. I just started playing hidden object games and found that even though the play is similar there is a different feel to the game with the story line involved and the extra mini puzzles. Some are better than others and the Hidden Object Show is one of them. I found it to be quite entertaining.

Features of Hidden Object Show:
-Become a Millionaire
-330 Object Rounds
-Prizes
-30 Scenes

Campfire Legends-The Hookman

The girls on a fun outdoor outing are sitting around the campfire telling scary stories late at night. One of the girls starts telling the tale of The Hookman….  Christine’s parents’ cabin deep in the forest will make a romantic weekend getaway for her and her boyfriend. Christine arrives at the destination first to find that all is not well at the cottage. Just trying to enter is presenting an obstacle for her.

Campfire Legends: The Hookman is a interactive hidden object game with the story slowly unraveling as you proceed with the play. You must find the key to enter the cabin. The screen may be larger than what is presently there. The arrow on the right will let you know that you can scan to the right to see the entire room. You must search for fireflies for hints. You may need to go to different sites to collect all the needed items. The side games are all integrated into theCampfire Legends-The Hookman5story line. You may need to collect fuses to turn the lights on. Once you find all the fuses, you must correctly place them in the box. Once you are in the cabin, you find that someone has been in the house and has scattered all your belongings everywhere. Anything broken must be fixed by finding the necessary tools and parts. Once you have fixed the radio, you hear that there is a killer loose in your vicinity: The Hookman Killer.

All of a sudden there is an ominous shadow of a man in the doorway, but before you can scream, you find out it’s Patrick, the boyfriend. Campfire Legends-The Hookman3He reassures Christine and tells her to wait in the car while he searches the home for anyone. In the messy car you search through his garbage only to find a medical file…

I won’t go any further in the story since that’s 50% of the fun in this hidden object play full of tasks and mini puzzles. This game is so interesting you get confused whether you or Christine is the person in danger. This is a good campfire story to tell to people sitting in the dark night. It’s also a little scary for young kids to play because there are moments of surprise. The graphics and eerie sound effects are great, and the story very engaging. Sometimes the extra tasks slowed down the story line due to the intricate pieces you may need to find before anything else can happen, but don’t let that stop you from enjoying this mysterious and scary game.

-Piece Together Events to Stay Alive
