What They Are
-
Hidden object games work much like the Where's Waldo or I Spy books for children. Typically,you will be shown a screen and given a list of items to find within that screen. Sometimes you are timed, forcing you to look quickly and check off every item on the list. Every hidden object game is slightly different, presenting new challenges, varying levels of difficulty and a multitude of different gameplay elements.
Where to Purchase
-
You can buy hidden object games at any major game retailer. You can also purchase them online and have them sent to your home. Another option is to buy online and download directly from the site. Many games offer a free trial to help you decide before you buy. Popular places to buy games include GameStop.com and Amazon.com. You can also physically purchase games at stores like Wal-Mart, GameStop and Target.

Free Online

While you can purchase hidden object games, you can also find a number of them to play for free online. Sites like Miniclip.com, Download-Free-Games.com, BigFishGames.com and countless others offer free hidden object games for anyone to play. Be careful when looking for games on these sites. Some free versions offered are just trials and will eventually time out, asking you to pay for the full version. Of course, this will never happen with a Flash game which plays right in your browser.

Review System Specs

While hidden object games tend to require low system requirements to play, it is important to make sure your PC is still compatible with the game. Always make sure you have enough RAM, space on your hard drive and a powerful enough graphics card to play the game. Find this information on the game's website or directly on its packaging.
Warning to Parents
-
While most hidden object games are safe to play for kids of all ages, it is important to check the box for the ESRB rating. This will let you know whether the game content is appropriate for your child. Online games might lack this rating, so it is important to monitor your child during play.
