## What is Hidden City?

Hidden City is a hidden object detective adventure for players who enjoy cozy mystery games, search-and-find puzzles, story-rich quests and richly detailed scenes. Explore a mystical Victorian city, find hidden objects, follow clues, solve puzzles, meet unique characters and uncover magical secrets in the City of Shadows.

Your next investigation awaits in a game where detective cases, beautiful search scenes, puzzle variety and magical events blend into one captivating mystery story. Look closer, collect clues and discover why every object, note and artifact matters.

What will you investigate?

Search atmospheric scenes filled with hidden items, evidence, notes, artifacts, keys, symbols, curiosities and visual clues. Every location invites careful observation and rewards players who love to find meaningful details in beautiful environments.

Explore foggy streets, ornate halls, manor-like rooms, curious shops, gardens, arcades, laboratories and magical city districts. Each place supports the mystery and turns object search into part of the investigation.

Which search modes can you play?

Hidden City keeps the main investigation fresh with different modes designed to test your observation skills:

• Words mode: Classic hidden object searching using text lists.
• Silhouettes mode: Visual challenges based on object shapes.
• Night mode: Focused searches in dim scenes using a spotlight.
• Pairs mode: Matching identical or logically related objects to test your attention.

These modes support players who enjoy search-and-find adventures, visual puzzles, detective games and finding hidden items through careful observation.

Are there mini-games and puzzles?

Yes. The core search mechanics are supported by puzzle modes that add variety without taking over the main experience. Take a break from the investigation and play through:

• Spot the difference: Compare two scenes using sharp observation.
• Match-3 levels: Crystal and gem matching for satisfying puzzle breaks.
• Brain teasers: Logic mini-games, memory challenges and story-driven riddles.

This mix works well for players who want a detective game with brain teasers, a mystery puzzle with clues or a search-and-find adventure with match-3 elements.

How does the story unfold?

Follow narrative-driven quests, character stories, special cases and event investigations. Assemble artifact collections, solve anomalies, complete requests and unlock rewards that help you continue your detective journey.

Every quest connects detailed scenes, puzzle challenges, magical discoveries and story progression into one polished mystery adventure.

Play Hidden City your way

• Play offline: Continue your investigation anywhere, even without an internet connection.
• Follow the story: Return to character quests, detective cases and magical events as your mystery unfolds.
• Regular updates: Discover new cases, quests, search scenes and special events added over time.
• Cross-device sync: Save your progress and switch between your devices.

### 3/5 — Updates

*2026-08-23, version 1.100.10000*

Why do updates transfer across all platforms

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-08-23, version 1.100.10000*

I love the graphics . Playing it since the pandemic.
I wish we can open up games with money accumulated as well not just buying more rubies. I don’t get the explosion mine challenge.

### 3/5 — Useless game now

*2026-08-22, version 1.100.10000*

WTH did you do to the game? Don’t you think it’s hard enough and then you have to make a scene different every single time it’s played now?? I used to love this game and I’ve played this game for years. You have freaking ruined it. I won’t be spending any more money.

### 1/5 — Newsfeed disrupts gifting

*2026-08-20, version 1.100.10000*

If I could give 0 stars, I would.

### 2/5 — no update chinese cities

*2026-08-20, version 1.100.10000*

why not update Chinese cities part anymore？also too many up cities which are not good enough.

### 3/5 — Preachy

*2026-08-20, version 1.100.10000*

I still think this is the best game I've ever played.  Really awesome graphics and lots of variety.  But this month's scene is way off.  It's beautiful and challenging, but it's gone in the political/preachy direction.  I play this game for escape and entertainment, not for an agenda.  Please reconsider your audience and keep it fun and clean and upbeat.  I spend money, don't just play for free!

### 5/5 — Fun game

*2026-08-18, version 1.100.10000*

It’s great to play when waiting at the doctor’s office!

### 1/5 — Scammers

*2026-08-18, version 1.100.10000*

You just gave me 30 mins of free playing but you are such scammers you started timing straight away. And guess what I can’t play because the scenes won’t let me as they are downloading some scams . lol why give free time and then play these stupid games. Shameless

### 3/5 — Changes are not all good.

*2026-08-17, version 1.100.10000*

I love this game I play no other. I love the graphics and I love the ability  to maneuver around.   
Changing useful collections that award useful boosters such as the Golden Owl for double the experience so that it is impossible to get them anymore. When we level up, we only get the difference between our target energy and the balance of energy we had when we levelled up.  They are making the events more and more difficult and bombard us with ads to try and get us to download games that I DO NOT WANT!

G5 has changed the game for the benefit of the players, but I feel this is not correct. Example, the daily task today says Spend 500 coins.  Well the only thing you can buy with coins are chronometers and the most economical is 10 chronometers for 90000 coins.  My coin balance needs building up so it's not worth playing the daily task today. I do enjoy when playing a daily task the rewards help increase the things I need for the 5 stars thank you for that. 
    I have asked to change the energy back to how it used to be and also make the Golden Owl more readily available. 

   I truly enjoy being able to maneuver when gifting I can visit and then to visiting. It’s  wonderful how you can maneuver around chat, gifting, visiting.
 Thank you very much for that.  

  Will there ever be a search box when gifting in the collection tab?

Again thank you for this great game. The colors, graphics and stories are enjoyable.

### 4/5 — Please change a couple things

*2026-08-17, version 1.99.9900*

Okay, I really like this game but a couple things need to be changed. 

I seriously need to know how to turn off this Natural Inspiration side game or whatever it’s called. This thing opens up after every single scene I’ve just searched. It’s SO extremely annoying! Hopefully it’ll be gone with the new scene update.

And please change the monster fights back to the original way. I never play them now it’s just too repetitive & takes too much time.
