User Rating:I had never before played a "hidden object" game and this was a great introduction to the genre.
The object of the game is to find a series of objects that are embedded in the various pictures at each level of the game. It sounds easier than it is since, very often, the images are embedded in such a way that they are often difficult to find. I’m astounded at the number of levels this game offers, especially with it only costing $.99.
The image quality is superb and the challenge that the game offers is rather substantial. I’ve been playing it on my iPhone on and off for the last week or so and it is definitely one of the most enjoyable games I’ve had on my iPhone yet.
This video will give you a bit of an overview of the game itself. I highly recommend it.
Quick Take
Value: High
Would I Buy Again: YES!
Learning Curve: Low (but the game is challenging!)
Who is it for: Anyone who likes puzzles
What I like: Great graphics, challenging enough to remain interesting, many different levels of game play
What I Don’t: Nothing
Final Statement: I really really like this game. If you are into puzzles or have a keen sense of perception that can aid in finding objects hidden in a picture this is for you!
Join the Hidden Expedition team in an object-finding race up the highest mountain in the world: Mount Everest! You’ll search for objects hidden in breath-taking scenes. The adventure begins at Base Camp, but who knows where the race will lead? Find all the objects faster than the other teams to win the race. Dozens of locations to search and game play that’s perfect for the iPhone / iPod Touch’s touch screen, this is the one race you’ve been waiting for!
We even enlisted the help of Ed Viesturs, the world’s foremost expert on mountain climbing and mountaineering. Trust us, he knows the difference between a clip and a carabiner! He has climbed more mountains, faced more sheer cliffs, and spanned more deep crevasses than most anyone alive. As an added bonus, he was kind enough to let us use somephotos taken while on the treacherous path from Nepal to the summit.
