London Hidden Objects

Recently I got my first taste of London Hidden Objects a game that challenges players to roam the busy City of London. The premise is simple but appealing: locate as many of the hidden objects that are around London. And honestly, as someone who’s all but pursued a career as a couch detective (the world needs couch detectives, right?), the game seemed like a great weekend pursuit at first.

The game resembles a virtual scavenger hunt — with difficult tampering elements, requiring you to have a sharp eye. Some players have said that the game was designed to be hard — it is populated with objects that blend into the background, camouflaged by colors that match those in the world. This introduced a level of challenge, but also a touch of frustration as a pesky brown book almost vanished on a similar background. Conversely, it’s this very scale that hooked others, indicating that a player’s bugbear is another’s delight.

However, there appears to be a snag when it comes to how scores get submitted, leaving a number of players with their accomplishments in limbo. Anyway, if you keep up with these bumps I might have a bit more gas in the publication tank, you know the vibes around here, but despite these bumps the community vibes of Nex Machina are actually pretty good and the comments are filled with fun of diving into this pixelated London adventure even if this is the first foray they've had into hidden objects games. Although London Hidden Objects does not take you to a picturesque version of London, it is a compelling articulation of a treasure hunt in the old city. For anyone willing to squint a little (both figuratively and literally), it’s a charming way to kill time and exercise those powers of observation. So, whether you’re a hidden object pro or something of a novice, it could be worth a look-see. Just have a magnifying glass close by!
