## What is Where's the Meerkat?

Move over Where's Waldo, the meerkats are in town! 

A family of meerkats are making a round-the-world trip, making mischief wherever they go. They'll be visiting some of the world's most famous and popular places: your task is to spot them in the crowd. 

This ultimate search app challenges you to find a family of 10 meerkats among each colorful and vibrant scene in their adventures. Follow the meerkats across 24 exciting levels, as they wend their way from the bustling streets of New York in the present day as well as back in time to New York in 1924 for some swing dancing, to the carnival in Rio, Great Barrier Reef, Moscow, and more. Travel space and time searching for the elusively hidden meerkats having fun and partying across the globe.

Take your search skills to the extreme - once you've found all ten meerkats, you'll be given a checklist of five everyday 'star find' hidden items to spot.

### 1/5 — Not very free

*2025-09-08, version 1.0*

Only first 3 levels are free then you have to pay. Art work is not great. Tales only about half an hour to complete all three. Deleted.

### 4/5 — My review

*2025-09-03, version 1.0*

This game is such a mystery! Perfect for when you need a good challenge!

### 5/5 — Relax ambience

*2025-06-28, version 1.2.7*

Something about the art makes me feel nostalgic…

### 1/5 — Thought it was

*2024-12-20, version 1.2.7*

Earlier was enjoying the game but not now. Have to pay after the first 3 levels😭😭😭

### 4/5 — Great But Missing 1 Thing

*2024-10-03, version 1.0*

Game is fun. Although I appreciate the challenge, I would love to have a hint feature. Perhaps 1 hint given after so many found, or maybe a hint if you've gotten to the 9th one found.

### 5/5 — this game is amazing

### 4/5 — fun

*2024-03-28, version 1.0*

### 1/5 — Money Grabbing

*2024-02-26*

Very limited opportunity to see whether you like this game before it is put behind a pay wall... therefore judged as not worth it!
