Hidden Objects

Pick a level to start searching

A game about searching and counting at once

Hidden Objects is an observation game for kids aged 3 to 8: every scene hides objects among the artwork and you find them all by tapping. The twist is that objects come in multiples, so kids do not just search — they count. Each object in the top bar shows how many have been found and how many are still missing.

There are two levels, each with its own scenes. Easy hides a single kind of object per scene, ideal for the youngest players. Hard packs up to four different objects into one scene, each repeated, so kids must alternate between searches without losing count.

What kids practise while playing

  • Sustained attention: holding focus on one search until it is done.
  • Visual discrimination: telling the target apart from the rest of the drawing.
  • Meaningful counting: counting to know how many are left, not by rote.
  • Vocabulary in four languages: every object shows its name in the chosen language.
  • Persistence: the hard level requires juggling four searches at once.

It runs in the browser with nothing to install and no account to create. It works on phones, tablets, computers and interactive whiteboards, so it fits both playing at home and projecting it in class to search together.

Frequently asked questions

What age is this game for?

The easy level works well from age 3, because there is only one object to look for at a time. Hard is for kids aged 5 to 8, who can already juggle several searches.

Is it free? Do I need an account?

It is completely free and needs no sign-up or download. Open it in the browser and play.

How many objects are hidden in each scene?

It depends on the scene. The easy level has one kind of object repeated up to five times. The hard level can hide up to four different objects, each repeated up to five times.

Can I use it in the classroom?

Yes. Many teachers project it on the interactive whiteboard and the class calls out where the objects are. With no timer and no penalties, it works well as a group activity.
