You can make your own hide-and-seek. Paint to hide, then hand your phone over — a hidden-picture game you can play on one phone. ■ Paint to hide a character in the picture Place the character anywhere you like, pick up the surrounding colors with the eyedropper, and paint over with the brush. That's all it takes to create a one-of-a-kind hunt. The character's name is Saga. Hiding and seeking both happen right on this one phone — no internet needed. ■ Hand your phone to the person next to you Once Saga is hidden, just hand your phone to the person next to you — the game is on. "Wait, where?!" "No way, THERE?!" Parents and kids, siblings, friends. Share the excitement of the big reveal together. ■ Find Saga hiding in the picture Now it's their turn: Saga is camouflaged somewhere in the illustration. Look closely and make that one decisive tap. Enjoy the "There you are!" moment. Every tap tells you how far you are: "Far", "Close!", or "Almost!" — and if you still can't find it, hints will guide you. ■ Post to Everyone's Hunts, and players worldwide take the challenge (online) Post your hunts to Everyone's Hunts, the online feed. Players from around the world will try them — and getting a like feels pretty good. Of course, you can also take on hunts made by others. You get exactly one try per hunt. The faster you find it, the higher your score, and that single-shot score decides the ranking for each hunt. ■ Safe and easy - No sign-up — download and play right away - Report and hide-author features included Privacy Policy: https://sagasoo.web.app/privacy/en/ Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
