A hidden object game (sometimes called hidden picture) is a genre of puzzle video game in which the player must find items from a list, hidden within a picture.[1] Hidden object games are a popular trend in casual gaming,[2][3] and are comparatively inexpensive to buy.[1][2] Time-limited trial versions of these games are usually available for download.
Publishers of hidden object games include Sandlot Games, Big Fish Games[1], Awem Studio, and SpinTop Games.
Mystery P.I.: The Lottery Ticket (2007; SpinTop Games) is an example of this genre.
